My boyfriend and I both like Japanese food a lot. We go to Japan once or twice every year just for their delicious food. Having said that, we have really tried a lot of good Japanese food and I have to say not many restaurants in HK can live up to the authentic Japanese standard. This one is no exception.After checking the score and the reviews of the Japanese restaurants in TST, we have settled for this one. We are mainly attracted by the "freshness of food" as it claimed to "import them direct
After checking the score and the reviews of the Japanese restaurants in TST, we have settled for this one. We are mainly attracted by the "freshness of food" as it claimed to "import them directly from Hokkaido".
When we first went in, we were greeted by a waitress. The place gave me the feeling of a local Japanese restaurant for people to hang around after work. After settling down in our seats, we were given some tea, hot towels and a menu. There wasn't much on the menu, as the specials are all off-menu. So we asked the waitress what was good that day and let her made the call.
First came the sashimi. There were some tuna (not even the fatty one), some ark shell fish, some yellow tails, and some other white fish which I forgot the name. I can't say they are not fresh, but it was definitely disppointing if this is the exact fish they have imported from Hokkaido as they claimed, really disappointing. If I were to name a few restaurants which serve better and fresher sashimi in HK, I can probably name quite a lot, like Inagiku, 鮮魚料理, 孝勢, 壽司廣, etc, even that Japanese restaurant in IFC is better than them.
Then came the oyster. It was really really huge (what a pity that I forgot to bring my camera), I have to finish it in 3-gos. It was a mistake to put the soya sauce in as the oyster was already very salty. But I have to say this is probably the best thing throughout the whole night.
After finishing the sashimi and the osyters, we had some 串燒. The waitress recommended us some pork cheek. And we also ordered the pork belly. The pork cheek was so so, not tender enough, nothing worth to try. The pork belly is slightly better, but still not very good. If I want to eat 串燒, I would rather go to 嵐川 or 港樂亭.
The waitress then recommended us the deep-fried pork chop rice with egg. The pork chop is horrible. The crispy bit outside is not crispy at all and they all came out when I use the chopstick to pick it up from the bowl.
We were thoroughly disappointed at this point. We didn't even finish the pork chop rice and asked for the bill.
Seriously, there is so much competition in Japanese cuisine in HK, if one wants to be outstanding, one should really put more effort in producing good food. Clearly, this restaurant does not care about the quality of food, and so I urge you not to waste your money and try other much better places in HK.
