魚一壽司 (English name: Sakarya Ichi Sushi) is a very popular sushi restaurant from Yuen Long. It seems every time we are in that area, there is a long crowd of people waiting for a table. Now, they have opened a branch in Causeway Bay. Located in the basement where Yoshinoya once stood, it's not very wheelchair accessible as they have blocked the elevator access so you must use the stairs.The area is a decent size though the table spacing is a bit tight.

The area is a decent size though the table spacing is a bit tight. There are quirky drawings on the walls as decor.
We came for lunch and had a lunch menu. Menu is in English and Chinese. Ordering is done by scanning a QR code that is in English and Chinese but upon switching to the English, the words were still in Chinese. But at least they had photos so that was good enough for me to figure out. There is no 10% service charge except for weekends and public holidays. You pay on your way out. Lunch sets include a daily appetizer, miso soup and chawanmushi.
The daily appetizer today was salad. A decent size portion. The greens were fresh and I did like the slices of apple added. The dressing was a Japanese sesame dressing.
The chawanmushi was terrible. Over cooked and hard. This is the first time I've encountered an over cooked one.
The miso soup had a piece of salmon in it. A very small size compared to many in the surrounding area. It was very concentrated in flavour and much more oil that usual. Probably from the addition of salmon?
I had the 9 piece deluxe sushi set ($178). This included Peony Shrimp, Toro, White Travelly, Yellow Tail, Seasonal Fish (hamachi), Urchin, Salmon Roe, Egg and Tuna Leek. The items were fresh and I was quite impressed. I guess I had low expectations after the starters. But this was clearly quite good. Though the egg was a bit too sweet. But other than that, the rest was decent quality.
Boyfriend had the 9 piece seared sushi set ($118). This included Seared Salmon, Seared Anago, Seared Shrimp, Seared Crab Stick, Seared Olive Flounder Muscle, Seared Scallop, Seared Steak Tartare, Egg and California Roll. Quality here was also good especially for the price.
Food was quite good. Price was competitive with the surrounding area. The only thing was the service was not that great. We were seated and not given a menu. When asked, they said scan the QR code to order. When we said we weren't provided one, they then gave it to us. Shouldn't this be automatic when you sit down? Tea was given until we asked. When we asked for a refill, they said the pot was on our table. It wasn't and when we pointed that out, we were left with out any aknowledgement. Leading us to think we weren't going to get a refill. But then almost 10 minutes later a pot was placed in front of us without explanation. Also, the tables were so close together, the staff had to squeeze through to serve other tables, almost knocking over things trying to get there. Perhaps due to this, I am wary to return.
