Naniwa Ippon is a new restaurant in Causeway Bay. It had taken over the old Hal's restaurant so I thought to give it a try for lunch one day.The outside is interesting and it seemed they kept the old Hal's design. Upon entering the restaurant, it seemed they kept the same layout and furniture as well. It seemed they didn't bother to redecorate. Seating was comfortable and not cramped at all.I was presented with a lunch set menu. Menu is in English, Chinese and Japanese. They had a variety of everything Japanese. From sushi to curry rice. It had everything for everyone. All sets come with miso soup, salad and chawanmushi. I ordered the minced prime tuna with spring onion rice set ($98). This set also came with a bowl of udon.They started me off with a imitation crab salad with flying fish roe. The mayo was placed on top so I had to mix it myself. It was ok. Nothing really spectacular about it.The chawanmushi was not good at all. It was not smooth and very rubbery. It didn't have that sweet taste that is usually found in this dish. It just tasted like regular steamed egg from a Chinese restaurant.The udon was chewy and not over cooked. But the soup tasted more like water.It also came with a miso soup. It wasn't exceptional and pretty much forgettable.When my set first arrived, they gave me assorted sashimi rice and not what I ordered. When I told them, they quickly removed it with an apology and less than 5 minutes later, they gave me my correct order. But this was not even good. The tuna had a slight fishy taste. The spring onion was only that little bit on top. The rest was regular white onion. That was not on the menu. And a LOT of sesame seeds. So much it was all I tasted.Now, that I write my review I noticed the listing was once called Hal's. I really did not like Hal's. So now they have just renamed themselves, offering the same mediocre Japanese food for a price range where you can get something better elsewhere in Causeway Bay at lunch time. Will not be back.

午飯時間閒逛，經過這舖面極具風格的日本餐廳。價格不算貴，可以一試。12時半的店並不多人，靜靜的，很適合我。午飯時段只供應定食。一般都是$78-98。特色定食由$138-258。款式算多，應該不難找到想吃的。鰻魚飯與壽司定食間我選了壽司定食。侍應似乎在對答中感覺到我有些東西是不吃的，便主動提議可以作出調整。原來的三文魚，吞拿魚和玉子應該給換掉了。沙律一般，很多醬。蒸蛋是較實在的那種，不是水汪汪震騰騰那種。裏頭有菇，鳴門卷，蟹柳。味道正正常常。壽司都是平平無奇。油甘魚頗為厚切。海鰻有少許腥。山葵令人失望，無味。麵豉湯一般，烏冬亦無驚喜。總括就是正正常常的一頓午飯。沒有感動位。不過服務值得一讚。我是不停喝水的人，但杯卻從沒空過！很不錯。
