Was here for dinner with some friends. Use to come here very often for sushi because they had a menu with wide selection of sushi, rolls and snacks. Its been a long time and I wanted sushi, so we came decided to come here. Looking at the Openrice rating, this restaurant is kind of strange. There's almost the exact same amount of people who find this restaurant good, okay and bad. This surprises me because it means there is a such a varied opinion about it. Anyway, we ordered a few things to shar
Anyway, we ordered a few things to share between the three of us. The first that came was the 玉子 and 鰻魚玉子. I get their 玉子 everytime I'm here, I think they do a good job of it. However, this time, it wasn't as hot as I wanted it ... which affected its taste. Nonetheless, the texture was good, soft, thin layers and layers of sweet egg! I prefer the original one over the one with eel because you can properly taste the egg by itself.
The 辣三文魚卷 was also quite good. Salmon was thick, fat and quite fresh enough. Together with the spicy sauce and mayonnaise on the side, it was a decent roll. Worth ordering again.
The 蟹子 salad though could've been a lot better. I felt that there was too much sauce and the cucumber wasn't very fresh. When it was mixed together, it tasted very soggy with too much water and very unfresh. Also not cold enough.
The Sesame Udon was not so great either - mainly due to the texture of the noodles. They were hard and strange. But the sauce itself was not too bad. The 軟殼蟹 though, was great. Very crispy and tasty! Also ordered a 帆立貝壽司 which was quite good too - big, sweet and quite fresh.The restaurant itself - we sat on one of the tables outside on the balcony, open to the ceiling of Langham Place. The seating itself was comfortable put it was way too hot! They already had a fan but no air-conditioning could reach the balcony and it wasn't very comfortable. The service was even worse ... they were very unprofessional. They put down dishes on our table then realize its not what we ordered, and this happened more than once! It seemed very disorganized and gave me a bad impression of their service staff.
Overall, I think this place's strength is their menu: great choices although some good some bad. What they need to improve on is their service and also monitoring the freshness and temperature of the food.
Likes: 玉子, 軟殼蟹, 辣三文魚卷
Dislikes: 蟹子 salad
Come Again? Only if my friend suggests, if not, I probably won't bring this place up.
