這𥚃賣的是西日fusion菜式,環境有型格又chill,除了一般餐牌,每天都提供幾款時令菜式,而炸雞三文治是常出現於社交媒體的招牌菜,厚過手掌的炸雞腿充滿肉汁,配上椰菜絲、鰹魚味沙律醬和少許辣醬更為惹味,麵包的顏色來由沖繩紫薯,質感偏實帶脆,味道有紫薯香。前菜油甘魚與自製豆皮相對清新,自製豆皮混入蒜油和柑橘醋,開胃好吃。另一大熱的熟成牛脷也值得試試,兩星期熟成牛脷給再給經慢煮後變得又嫩又濃,伴上燒京葱為菜式增添香氣。

After following open rice for so many yrs, Okra was so dissapointing that it made me create a login account and spend time writing about it, perhaps to warn others.

So I got food poisoning day after I had my dinner. Lasted a few days, got a shot at ER and now rested well enough to write this.

Food looks fine but the entire menu consisted of roe, liver, fish tongue, all types of fish organs u can think of. No proper meat was introduced - very high cholesterol indeed.

The danger comes when chef tries to sear the food, half raw half cooked. The place is dark and looks like a sake bar which it is. Hence managing raw food the hygiene is questionable.

Chef is extremely arrogant, and unfriendly. Though he seems to work hard in assembling the dishes but that’s all. I call him the nazi chef. Stares at u when u don’t finish your fish organs. Rest of the staff is ok.

每道菜也是廚師精心炮製的,創意可嘉。第一道菜,熟成吞拿魚配自製的cracker,可惜本人認為熟成過度了,味道有點怪。第二道菜安康魚乾,跟傳統日本師傅做法有點不同,魚肝沒有醃製。清湯很好味,但是魚肝完全冇味,分魚腥味十足。全晚唯一出色的就是鯖魚壽司,醋醃的時間很好,壽司飯處理亦是一流,值得一讚。另外,紅蝦壽司飯做得不錯。可惜當我們問及紅蝦頭蝦膏的食法時,廚師很高傲的回答,沒有半點想跟客人溝通的感覺。值得一題是最後的魷魚,魷魚是選用一個月大的品種,口感一流,可惜這道菜也是跟之前幾道菜一樣,半生半熟、充滿醬汁,浪費了本身魷魚的鮮味。

I ordered a bottle of sake to start, Gozenshu 9 Junmai from Okayama ($400). The sake is decent, but unfortunately it was not cold. The staff apologized and told me that the fridge was out of order, and helped to ice it using a bucket, but honestly it was not until near the end of the meal that it was at the right temperature, and so it was quite a bad experience.

To start off, we had the Tsukemono ($75). It was the homemade pickles and fermented vegetables, including carrot, cucumber, celery, cabbage, okra and a few others. It was rather mediocre, not something to be missed.

Next was something on the menu board. The Tuna Platter ($530) had three different cuts of the tuna, including Akami, the lean part of the fish; Chutoro, the middle part; and Otoro, the fatty belly. The sashimi had been aged too in order to bring forward a more intense taste, and paired with different types of salt. Not bad, but probably the more interesting piece is the deep-fried tuna blood, something new for me. Even though a bit oily, it is still worth trying it out.

We ordered a number of dishes on the menu board, as recommended by the staff, and this one was another, a piece of Tamago with Uni and Truffle ($500). It was quite a big surprise when later on I found how much it cost, as we had ordered two pieces per the suggestion from the staff. Yes, there are plenty of uni and truffle, and the egg roll is also good in taste. But still it was disproportionate on price and I would recommend that you check when ordering things on the menu board here.

Another item on the menu board, the Fish Maw ($260) was baked in a clay tray with sauce, with plenty of leek added. The taste is quite nice, and there are some purple sweet potato toast provided to allow us to scoop up the sauce too. A creative and interesting dish.

Then it was the Duck Breast ($220), another thing on the menu board, which are slices of duck with Sichuan peppers and marinate, giving a spicy kick while the duck meat is marinated nicely with mirin and other seasonings. This is one of my favorites of the meal.

Finally something on the menu, Chicken Fried Kurokampachi ($250) is the wild-caught fish with a crystal hot sauce and daikon. The taste is nice, with the fish meat firm and on first sight I thought it was a piece of tofu. The daikon also added a nice balance on the palate.

Wrapping up with dessert, we had the Koji Rice Pudding ($80), which added aged tangerine peel, condensed hon mirin and seasonal smoked pear. Rather special, the rice pudding is quite light and delicate which benefits, and a bit short of sweetness for me.

The other dessert was Roasted Custard Banana ($60), and the banana is added with soya sauce nougat. Comparatively this dessert is much sweeter, and quite nice in taste. The only thing is that the nougat is too sticky to the teeth and I found it a bit annoying unfortunately. 

Service is decent, with the chef coming over to explain a bit on a number of the dishes. The bill was $2,943 and I would say it was quite unbelievably expensive, mainly because of the egg roll. While we did not raise it on the spot, I hope the restaurant would consider putting the price on the menu board too to avoid unnecessary issue with customers in future.

Summary: Intricate and unusual fusion Japanese food, which while interesting, isn't quite rewarding enough for the money or effort (on their part). Quirky pricing up and down the menu, but a cool dining experience that's probably worth trying. It might be awhile before i'm back though.

We've passed Okra countless times, walking up that funny little incline on Queens road towards Sai Ying Pun, and always wondered if it would be the last time i saw it open. It's a bit expensive, a bit small, a bit out of the way and a bit under the radar. How does it survive? (Turns out they're doing pretty well).  Also, i was always a little put off by this line on their website; " We do not serve any Japanese themed dishes. All of our sakes and beverages are chosen because they go well with the strong flavors of our food and for no other reason. All of our menu items are signature and all are not."  Super eye roll-y stuff, and the part about non-Japanese themed dishes is bizarre when most of the food is obviously Japanese-themed. It always reeked of pretension, as in, "we've elevated Japanese food to something beyond what you could ever consider Japanese ". I forgot to ask them why they include this ridiculous line, but anyway...

It's a tiny restaurant that can fit maybe 10-15, and they apparently have an omakase sushi bar upstairs, which i didn't even realize when i was there. We sat at the bar so i could see them preparing the food, and to get a better look at their range of sakes. The service is excellent - very knowledgeable about the menu and the various techniques involved (and there are many).

Weirdly expensive though a nice selection. I've never seen such a small draft beer - must be like 150ml (and it was HKD 60+), so go for the bottles of Coedo for 88. We also tried the "Clean Reverb" sake which was deliciously dry and savory.

On to the food:
YUBA AND KARASUMI FETTUCCINE

I love fu pei/yuba, and this was a good light dish to start the meal. I would have expected the house-cured karasumi to be a bit stronger, and its typically sharp, cured flavor doesn't come through distinctively.  I enjoyed the texture of the yuba noodles though, and the garlic chips were a nice touch.

DRY AGED POMPANO SASHIMI

White fish like flounder (hirame) or sea bream (tai) are my favorite type of sashimi, either sliced thinly and eaten with ponzu, or thicker like this dish. I love their firm bite, as well as the subtle umami that comes through as you chew them. It's a more satisfying experience compared to fattier fish sashimi i think. White fish benefits a lot from dry-aging, as they can be too mild when eaten fresh. The pompano (koban-aji) here, which i've never tried before, might have used more aging, as the flavor remained very gentle. The inclusion of some pickled peppers was a great complement though, and gives the dish some real punch. I did enjoy it, but keep in mind it might be too light for people used to stronger/heavier sashimi flavors

Extremely firm, dense tofu served with tomatoes and a chinese-feeling black bean sauce. it was a bit bland for me, and i'm not sure how the various ingredients work together (they're all mild and watery, apart from the bits of black bean). Tofu lovers might enjoy this though.

UNAKYU FOIE GRAS

Roasted eel, foie gras, and pickled cucumbers should speak for itself. An atypical combination that really works, with the cucumber doing a lot to balance the heaviness of the other ingredients. Not sure it's worth the 180 hkd price for this portion, but for foie gras lovers, it's probably a must-try.

This was appropriately tender and beefy, but i prefer ox tongue to be a bit crunchier on the outside, otherwise it's quite boring texturally; just one soft chewy mass. Was still not bad.

I have no idea what crystal sauce is but this was my favorite dish of the night. Perfectly fried, juicy chicken, generously portioned onto slightly-sweet sweet potato toast, garnished with a cool cabbage slaw, with a mild hot sauce to round it off.. This was fabulously delicious, and a must-order if you like fried chicken or life.

SIGNATURE ROASTED FISH HEAD

Sad to end the meal with this dish (which took forever to come!); i'm not sure how this could ever be considered their signature dish. I love fish head for those those melt-in-your-mouth bites in the cheek and the nooks on the neck. Unfortunately, here the entire fish head was overcooked - incredibly dry and chewy, and digging out meat to eat was time-consuming and unrewarding. Even if it was roasted appropriately, the sauce it's basted in is far too sweet and jammy, so we didn't even enjoy the pieces we managed to pry off and eat. Not sure how this could dish could ever work. That said, at least the stir-fried vegetables the fish was resting on were well-cooked, and we finished those happily.

Overall, Okra is unique and the chefs obviously put a lot of effort into innovating non-Japanese dishes. Depending on what you order, the price of a meal at Okra can vary quite a lot; we paid about 1,300 for the two of us with 1-2 drinks each and the tons of food you see above, though we did avoid the very expensive items. There are bargains to be had - the chicken sandwich is value at 148 i think, but the fish head is insane at 190. Drinks are also unreasonably pricey. and if you're going to be continuously drinking throughout the meal, expect to pay 200-300 p.p. for 2-3 drinks or to split a bottle of sake.

I really liked the ideas on the menu - many of the dishes on offer are intricately conceived. However, apart from my favorite chicken sandwich and maybe the unagi-foie gras, they don't deliver the knockout punch you'd expect from combining such varied and tasty ingredients. If i had to describe the food at Okra, i'd say it was inoffensive and interesting rather than delicious and memorable, and good god, don't mention that fish head. As such, while I couldn't possibly give Okra a bad rating, at these prices it doesn't deserve a good rating either. OK seems fair, with a disclaimer that it's certainly worth trying at least once.

It’s really difficult to find good restaurants in Hong Kong. Though Okra was on the pricier end, the taste of the food really didn’t disappoint. Food were creative and delicious.My only complaint of the place was the grumpy head chef there made the entire kitchen situation feel unpleasant. The waiters and waitresses were all a fun and nice bunch which was great. They all had a great sense of humour too.Will definitely go again as I really want to try everything on the menu!

My only complaint of the place was the grumpy head chef there made the entire kitchen situation feel unpleasant. The waiters and waitresses were all a fun and nice bunch which was great. They all had a great sense of humour too.

Will definitely go again as I really want to try everything on the menu!

I have always wanted to try out Okra. Last time when we visited on New Year Day, it was closed.

To begin with, we ordered this Yazu Yellowtail & House Made Yuba with garlic oil & ponzu vinegar. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and meaty, which made it very enjoyable to eat. The yuba, which is shredded tofu skin, was astonishing! It’s like a special kind of noodles that’s very delicious. Moreover, the garlic oil and ponzu vinegar topped up the flavor of the whole dish. Nom nom!

And of course, we got these signatures El Pollo Loco Fried Chicken Sandwiches made with sweet potato bread. The sandwiches were served hot, with crunchy toasted sweet potato bread that really had a hint of sweet potato! The fried chicken inside was very juicy and crunchy too! We couldn’t stop eating to chat a bit until we finished the whole sandwich. It was that good.

We also ordered this Unagi Fun. The eel was very meaty and not boney at all. The rice was very crispy and interesting to eat. The whole bowl was great except that the portion was smaller than expected.

And that’s why we placed our last order - Roasted Beef Love Handle (Grass fed Black Angus prime chuck tail flap & burnt olive oil soy sauce). I really adored the romantic name of “love handle”. It was very tender and delicious. I also loved the minced meat and pickles on the side.

Japanese-inspired dishes, must go!

We came to Okra Bar for the omakase and it surpassed all expectations!

The meticulous attention to detail that Chef Max Levy has
labored over from each grain of sushi rice, each song selection, each well
thought out cut with his knife, to larger items such as purchasing, quality
control and service displays his ingenuity, versatility and creativity in his
craft. We were blown away by his depth of knowledge about each of the sakes he
paired with each dish and truly enjoyed the sake storytimes like a drunkard enjoys
their nightcap. All the dishes are incredibly well thought out and evolve with
each chew. Take the uni paired with the jelly,

I’ve had it served in other
restaurants with a dashi jelly but here, Chef Max has prepared the jelly with
fish maw, burnt leek and Japanese mushrooms; the sweetness of the uni first
hits you and as you spork up the jelly, you get a well-rounded medley of
crispness, sweetness umami in your mouth and finished with the sultry flavor
and texture of the mushroom. Yes, it truly is that exotic but familiar at the
same time so much that you crave this as a comfort dish. The chu-toro

is served
with their own charcoal salt; charcoal ash taken from the oven downstairs and
mixed with salt; the charcoal as Chef Max describes, draws out the residue
fattiness in your mouth, could this be to make you want more?? In every sense,
it works.


Chef Max still adds his whimsical touches to the dishes like
the Peter Rabbit and Snoopy and Woodstock spoons and you are reminded that
there is no ego here. He is soft-spoken and articulate about his craft and he
is far from pretentious as you can get from your typical chef. Our dinner was
so enjoyable and we cannot wait to be back.

表價$1400 的 Omakase,師傅是 from New York 的 American ,感覺幾特別。裝修亦非傳統日本餐廳,但 I can tell , 食物雖亦非最傳統日本元素,但創新與變化卻是另一種美味。魚生亦新鮮美味。Michelin star 一星應無問題。 但我個人想批評綠茶收$40多杯,飲五杯$200多,但味道卻太淡,質量扣分。
