I have been eating here more frequently of late. Nope, this would not be my first, or second, nor third choices but it has its merits. However, it is reliable and one of my aunties favorite place.Time warp back and you will find youself looking at the take out sushi shop operated by a local Japanese food wholesaler.

Time warp back and you will find youself looking at the take out sushi shop operated by a local Japanese food wholesaler. It had built its reputation back then as a low cost, fresh sushi/sashimi shop.
Time warp, fast forward and wolla! the same little take out place has changed into a full fledged Japanese restaurant, adorned with famous names and horse racing photo.
Ok! what about the food. Cooked foods are not in this review scope even though I've had order some before but mostly as a finishing touch to a sashimi meal.
- Sashimi Always fresh offering very standard Hong Kong varieties such as salmon, buri, amaebi, toro, akagai...etc.
- Cutting and presentation I find their sashimi sizes vary in a non-standard way. Thin cuts such as Hirame are below standard. Regular cuts tends to be short and fat. Presentation is run of the mill type.
- Sake Very limited selection on Daiginjyo with low quality brands. The last time I was there, they had only 3 out of the 4 Daiginjyo on their menu. We picked the only Junmai Daiginjyo available
- Service Has dropped off a medium grade in my book to upper lower grade. There seems to be several newer staff who do not know sashimi names (in Japanese), clean the table not unlike the way Cha Chan Ting's do it and simply walks around with an irate and confused look. Only one that is a tad more professional is their "only" Japanese waitress but even she gives me a sort of condesending feel. Come on, ladies, smile! you are not working in a funeral parlour.
- Ambiance Worth mentioning is the spread of their seating arrangements. It is roomy and open. You won't be rubbing elbows other patrons nor embarassingly lose a piece of slippery sashimi across to the next table.
All in all, if price is top priority and you are particular with freshness - well, who isn't, right, then, this is a place for a no non-sense Japanese sashimi/sushi meal for under 400 per head (average sashimi orders, no expensive sake..etc.)
