Recently been to this restaurant for dinner, have to say this is one of the better sushi places in HK, with food quality not much different to those in Japan.I've made reservation in advance for counter seat, so I can order one by one, and see the chef preparing each.

Recently been to this restaurant for dinner, have to say this is one of the better sushi places in HK, with food quality not much different to those in Japan.

I've made reservation in advance for counter seat, so I can order one by one, and see the chef preparing each. The chef who served us is a Chinese guy, quite friendly, seemed properly trained, and he claimed he worked there for approx. 1.5 year since the restaurant opened. Sushi ordered include toro, hamachi, o-toro with surface slightly grilled, scallops, anago handroll, akagai, mirugai, uni, kinki with surface slightly grilled, huge sized amaebi, etc. Each and every piece is amazingly fresh and tasty. The shop is willing to import high quality meat such as uni and amaebi from Hokkaido, and mirugai from both Canada and Japan, as well as the pricy kinki. This could be quite risky from a business perspective, as sushi meats are highly perishable, and money will simply go down to the drain if not a constant flow of customers. I've also ordered miso soup and grilled tuna head, the former is nothing special whereas the latter is again above average. With such food quality and based on what I've ordered, I would say $600 per head is more than reasonable. The slight drawback is parking is not as convenient nearby.

Will surely go back again some time soon!

第一次來到, 見星期六晚市竟然這樣冷清心知不妙, 不過也想一試坐低後, 一名年長女侍應過來就立即推介 Menu 中最貴的廚師推介刺身, 本人及朋友最後選擇另一刺身盛, 侍應立即黑面, 本人及朋友食慾立即大跌, , 整個晚餐感覺就是三個字.....白鴿眼 ! 其他年輕的侍應服務質素都只是一般,但尚可以接受 ! 講回食物, 係好食, 叫了碟深海池魚, 夠新鮮, 唔錯, 牡丹蝦壽司好正, 另外海膽卷我就最欣賞, 好好味 , 各樣食材都非常滿意 !但在此, 我覺得以這間餐廳的價錢, 服務人員的水準竟如此低, 幾好食都無用,這餐廳不如set 過最底付款額, 每人二千啦, 反正叫得小會比人.....白鴿眼 ! 唔通上來飲杯酒, 食兩串串燒就不是錢? 下下要埋單三幾千才叫客人及得到服務? 況且現在埋單一千一百元, 好小咩? 錢比得起不代表要一定叫到最貴才是幫襯的 ! 唔怪得個場咁冷清最後無心情食走人,埋單一千一百元, 去了另一間再食多約一千元! 服務完全是兩回事 ! 最後如果換了班較有質素的侍應我才會再幫襯, 店內食物質素好好, 有80分以上 ! 希望各餐廳不要以客人order 食物的數量及價

第一次來到, 見星期六晚市竟然這樣冷清心知不妙, 不過也想一試


坐低後, 一名年長女侍應過來就立即推介 Menu 中最貴的廚師推介刺身, 本人及朋友最後選擇另一刺身盛, 侍應立即黑面,
本人及朋友食慾立即大跌,
, 整個晚餐感覺就是三個字.....白鴿眼 ! 其他年輕的侍應服務質素都只是一般,但尚可以接受 !

講回食物, 係好食, 叫了碟深海池魚, 夠新鮮, 唔錯, 牡丹蝦壽司好正, 另外海膽卷我就最欣賞, 好好味 , 各樣食材都非常滿意 !


但在此, 我覺得以這間餐廳的價錢, 服務人員的水準竟如此低, 幾好食都無用,這餐廳不如set 過最底付款額, 每人二千啦, 反正叫得小會比人.....白鴿眼 ! 唔通上來飲杯酒, 食兩串串燒就不是錢? 下下要埋單三幾千才叫客人及得到服務? 況且現在埋單一千一百元, 好小咩? 錢比得起不代表要一定叫到最貴才是幫襯的 ! 唔怪得個場咁冷清
最後無心情食走人,埋單一千一百元, 去了另一間再食多約一千元! 服務完全是兩回事 !

最後如果換了班較有質素的侍應我才會再幫襯, 店內食物質素好好, 有80分以上 ! 希望各餐廳不要以客人order 食物的數量及價錢來比服務給客人!

近年好多人話我經常組團去破地獄,很久沒有正正經經吃一頓壽司,我幾時經常呢?這一年內,係破過一次西九龍明將,同旺角二千Yen而已.銅鑼灣渣甸中心,內裏有好幾間出色的日本料理,兩年多前曾在湖舟吃過晚飯,日式燒肉方面,伊呂波更不用多說,午餐晚餐一樣高水準.是次與女友來到渣甸中心十二樓的"天膳".午市來到日本料理,價錢比晚市平一大截,好等我這些人,可以光天化日來沾一沾光.當然一分錢一分貨,午市的刺身從不用即日飛機貨.是日下午為平日,沒有周日的旺場,但是光顧之前先訂位,是必須.與女友坐在吧檯前,點同一款午市套餐,大家都是自選十款壽司.在三十多款之中選其中十款.茶碗蒸是前奏,蒸得很滑,味道香甜,一下子滑落喉嚨.蒸蛋內有雞肉,銀杏,冬菇,是日不是賽馬日,百無禁忌吃銀杏.麵豉湯味道濃香沉厚,而且不過鹹.我所選的十款自選動作,有大吞拿魚腩,赤貝,牡丹蝦,鯛魚,平政魚,池魚,沙甸魚,碎荵吞拿魚卷,海膽,三文魚子.雖然是隔夜貨,但整體上也很新鮮,赤貝爽脆鮮甜,牡丹蝦亦是一樣地甜,鯛魚同平政肉質比較爽身,而池魚同沙甸魚則比較重魚味,肉質亦肥美,大吞拿魚腩身嬌肉貴,擺在午市自選套餐之中任人魚肉,有點自貶身價之味

銅鑼灣渣甸中心,內裏有好幾間出色的日本料理,兩年多前曾在湖舟吃過晚飯,日式燒肉方面,伊呂波更不用多說,午餐晚餐一樣高水準.是次與女友來到渣甸中心十二樓的"天膳".

午市來到日本料理,價錢比晚市平一大截,好等我這些人,可以光天化日來沾一沾光.當然一分錢一分貨,午市的刺身從不用即日飛機貨.是日下午為平日,沒有周日的旺場,但是光顧之前先訂位,是必須.

與女友坐在吧檯前,點同一款午市套餐,大家都是自選十款壽司.在三十多款之中選其中十款.

茶碗蒸是前奏,蒸得很滑,味道香甜,一下子滑落喉嚨.蒸蛋內有雞肉,銀杏,冬菇,是日不是賽馬日,百無禁忌吃銀杏.麵豉湯味道濃香沉厚,而且不過鹹.

我所選的十款自選動作,有大吞拿魚腩,赤貝,牡丹蝦,鯛魚,平政魚,池魚,沙甸魚,碎荵吞拿魚卷,海膽,三文魚子.雖然是隔夜貨,但整體上也很新鮮,赤貝爽脆鮮甜,牡丹蝦亦是一樣地甜,鯛魚同平政肉質比較爽身,而池魚同沙甸魚則比較重魚味,肉質亦肥美,大吞拿魚腩身嬌肉貴,擺在午市自選套餐之中任人魚肉,有點自貶身價之味道,對食客而言,午市百幾銀有大吞拿吃,絕對是喜訊.大吞拿入口感覺甘香油潤,論味道則不算突出.碎荵吞拿魚卷,一樣地豐滿油潤,如果以這個吞拿魚碎來伴飯吃,肯定吃兩碗才能停手!三文魚子味道鹹鮮,沒有一點腥味.海膽入口甘中帶甜,餘韻良久不散.

女友的選擇有好幾款出入,吞拿魚卷變牛油果卷.我喜愛吃牛油果的油潤感,當然喜歡此一味.其他還有帶子,蟹子,鰻魚,是與我不同之處.

壽司飯實淨得來而不過緊,飯與飯之間保留一點空間,壽司米的醋味適中,握得有板有眼.

兩個人埋單三百多一點,其實在迴轉吃一頓壽司,也是差不多這個價錢,份量自然比此套餐的十件壽司多,質素就遠不及正宗日本料理.你要吃量,或吃質?那就要看看你的價值觀.

如果你是前者,沒有問題,飲食並非生活之全部,吃日本菜純屬趕潮流,沒有甚麼大不了.如果你是後者,便有潛質成為老饗了.

想去位於恒和鑽石大廈的兩間店無開, 唯有嚟到渣甸中心諗住試試 10 樓的壽司店, 點知又無開, 連摸三次門釘
「唯有」又食呢間吧, 還掂上次嚟到, 經歷「天堂」一樣 (http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?commentid=2059344)


朋友如常 tick 10 件自選壽司定食 ($150), 我就想試試從未食過的松花堂便當 (好似 $160), 貪佢五顏六色又乜都有 d
:-

先嚟茶碗蒸, 清湯底如常清甜滑溜, 配料如常有雞肉, 冬菇, 蒲鉾, 銀杏及不知名香菜 (係咪叫「三つ葉」?), 夠晒豐富, 正


便當分成煮物, 刺身, 炸物, 銀鱈魚西京燒 (+ 玉子), 沙律及白飯 6 格, 賣相夠晒精緻


怕炸蝦凍了會唔脆, 所以一嚟就食呢個
蝦肉用紫菜捲住炸, 做得熱辣脆口又唔油, 食落爽實, 仲有勁多「籽」
, 夠晒香口.


刺身係赤身, 油甘魚及甜蝦, 最欣賞魚油香豐盛的油甘魚
甜蝦質地爽身, 食落亦清甜, 幾喜歡; 赤身就相對較普通, 不過都好食的, 哈哈.


沙律菜以車厘茄, 生菜, 粟米為主, 夠新鮮, 淋上份量剛好的日式 "vinaigrette", 酸香兼備, 其實都無可能唔好食吧.


銀鱈魚西京燒 (塗了味噌去燒?) 食落帶點甜, 質地滑溜, 不過魚油香實在超勁
, 幾飽滯的.

玉子印了店名, 賣相靚絕, 食落亦幾香甜, 不過質地有點實, 而且有點太凍, 可以更好的.

6 格中我就最喜歡豚肉大根煮, 醬汁 (醬油 + 味醂 + 唔知乜嘢煮成?) 大鹹大甜, 豚肉鬆化入味, 大根就又腍又甜又無渣, 正!
仲有手指豆及靈芝菇 (?), 清清爽爽, 食完濃味的豚肉「漱漱口」不錯.

最後飲碗熱辣清香的味噌湯, 及香滑的咖啡作結, 滿足.


食物及配套仍舊令人十分滿意, 每人埋單 $200 有找, 會再來的. 唔知幾時有機會食晚飯?
茶碗蒸繼續好食

天膳近來已經成為小臣的新歡,理由很簡單,食材新鮮,價錢合理,文師傅又好客,雖然侍應的服務水平如過山車,但仍是近來小臣吃日本料理的首選。前菜是螢光魷魚和漬八爪魚,開開胃才吃刺身。先吃魚味較薄的伊左木,蘸特製的薑蔥汁吃,才吃出它的鮮。當天的日本蠔非常巨型,我們要了一只二人分享,文師傅一切為二。此蠔十分清爽,不是 creamy 的類型,甘甜之餘有輕微的金屬味,不錯吃。轉吃壽司,晚市用的海膽自然比午市的強,加以海鹽吊出鮮味,吃出幸福的感覺。最後以大鮪腹作結,此魚脂肪太多,要炙過才吃,但入口依然化作一片甘霖。買單比想像中便宜,只是壽司廣六成的價錢,以這樣的水平,絕對吃得過。當晚尚吃了很多其他的刺身及壽司,全部評介及相片在小臣的網誌:http://carjaswong.pixnet.net/blog/post/26390124

首選其實唔係黎呢間,不過既然爆左,就比個機會試下新店。環境唔錯,不過真係靜英英,食飯時間都係包場咁滯,真係陰功。食物就唔差,推薦既海膽夠鮮,好靚仔,池魚刺身亦夠嫩,雖然切功有少少失準,片片唔係太一樣,不過溫度剛好,唔錯。煮物就一般般啦,唔算太出色。成餐食完係覺得唔錯,但係又未到超晒班既地步,咁佢起碼唔係貴到無邊既,我覺得可以幫襯,不過就唔係一去再去果種囉。

So due to some last minute changes we decided to come to Tenzen here in Causeway Bay for my brother's birthday dinner. Environment: The place is actually decently sized (about 25-35 seats) but maybe due to the narrow/long shape of the room it felt slightly cramped. I do like the bright lighting though. Not only is it a better environment for food photography but also it's always nice seeing what you are eating...haha. Service: Overall service was good and waitstaff were friendly. Food came out

So due to some last minute changes we decided to come to Tenzen here in Causeway Bay for my brother's birthday dinner.

Environment: The place is actually decently sized (about 25-35 seats) but maybe due to the narrow/long shape of the room it felt slightly cramped. I do like the bright lighting though. Not only is it a better environment for food photography
but also it's always nice seeing what you are eating...haha.

Service: Overall service was good and waitstaff were friendly. Food came out quickly and there were no mixups. My only minor negative comment is maybe because there were hardly any customers there were a lot of waitstaff standing around our table which in turn seemed to put some pressure on us getting our orders in. I might also agree with a prior review that the waitstaff didn't seem super knowledgeable...but overall the experience was good in terms of service.

Tonight was a good time to test out my macro extension tubes for my camera so a handful of the photos will look more closeup than normal. Here's what we ordered:

Chilled Sliced Tomato: Not a bad dish but I was a little surprised about it's simplicity (in a bad way). It was basically just a tomato sliced up (surrounded with ice) with a tiny bowl of salt to the side. If the tomato tasted quite different (it didn't from an average tomato) or had a good sauce I think this dish would be a lot better. Don't think this was particularly worth the cost.

Salty Firefly Cuttlefish: This dish tasted fresh (some might find the 'ocean taste' a little strong) and was visually interesting. My main gripe with this dish is with its size. Basically it was just 5-6 small cuttlefish in a bowl the size of a soy sauce dipping dish (my photo is a closeup so the real dish looks a lot smaller). Although this tasted good...I don't think it is worth the money.

Grilled Beef Tongue Skewers: Tasty and I liked the texture. The beef tongue was well seasoned (slightly spicy) and most parts of it was relatively tender (the ends seemed a bit more 'chewy'). Quite good.

Grilled Chicken Cartilage Skewers: If you like chicken cartilage this is pretty decent tasting. Maybe a bit too oily for some people. Pretty decent.

Sushi Platter: Since there were 5 of us we order 5 different types of sushi. Here's what we ordered:

- Sea Urchin (Uni): Nice. Tasted pretty fresh and creamy. Sometimes the 'ocean taste' from uni can be a little overpowering but this was quite subtle.

- Horsehair Crab (Kegani): Decent but honestly speaking the crab felt dry.

- Fatty Tuna Belly (Chutoro): My brother said the waitress called this dish "dai toro" (she said it was between chutoro and otoro grade) but after some internet research I have no idea what dai toro is. It was pretty good (decent amount of fat) but personally I've had chutoro which melts in your mouth more.

- Cockle Clam (Torigai): Pretty decent. Kind of chewy and fresh. Tasted kind of similar to squid/cuttlefish.

- Yellowtail Amberjack (Hiramasa): We were told this was a seasonal fish by the waitress. Decent. Can't say it tasted that different from other types of white fish sushi.

Overall sushi was pretty decent but I felt overpriced. A minor point I wanted to make was the sushi rice here needs a little work. Although none of the rice fell apart it did at times feel like the rice didn't hold together that well (when compared to sushi rice from experienced sushi chefs). Also, the rice felt like it didn't have much flavor where as good sushi rice should have a hint of vinegar taste.

Grilled Cod With Sauce: Delicious. The cod was grilled well so it was still moist and the sweet soy based sauce was also yummy. The skin on the side was also slightly crispy which provided a nice textural contrast.

Whitebait With Egg: This dish was recommended by the waitress and not on the menu. Personally this dish was a miss for me. They prepared the dish identical to how katsu don would be prepared (but with whitefish instead of pork cutlet). To me this dish lacked texture (felt a little mushy), was too 'watery' and felt quite one-note. If they pan fried this dish it would be so much better.

Simmered Eggplant With Grated Radish: I liked this dish. Definitely something a little different. The flavors were strong (yet tasty) and the eggplant had a really 'meaty' bite to it. The broth it was sitting in was also quite flavorful. Some may find the grated radish a little mushy but this didn't bother me too much.

Seared Scallop With Seaweed: Another miss for me. The scallops were seared (so the inside was still pretty raw) and we were told by the waitress to put it on a piece of dry seaweed (nori), fold it and eat it. The seaweed was a nice textural contrast but I found the seared section of the scallop to be a little too dried out.

Eel Rice (Unaju): The waitress told us some Chinese food critic came by recently and loved this dish. I wish I could take a photo but my parents started eating this dish before I even had a chance
. Overall I find this dish to be very tasty. The grilled eel was moist and delicious. The rice with the sweet soy based sauce had great texture and nice fragrance. Good dish.

Inaniwa Udon - Visually it looked like quite a simple dish but the udon definitely tasted better than regular udon. From my understanding Inaniwa udon is a type of premium udon that is thinner and flatter than the regular thick/round udon. The udon had good amount of chewiness and the broth (although simple) was a nice flavorful compliment.

Overall there were some hits at misses at this restaurant. Even though this place is marketed to be a sushi place I think the non-sushi dishes were actually the better dishes (and more reasonably priced). Because I find them overpriced (for the food they put out) I doubt I will come back again...for dinner. With that said I could see myself coming here for lunch and getting a eel rice with maybe the a side order of the grilled cod.

I was in the nearby area and had been wanting to try this place out because of its super high rating.

I was in the nearby area and had been wanting to try this place out because of its super high rating. I ordered the 10 pc sushi set.

the steams egg from the set was tasty, but then I notice the water separates from the eggs quickly. Not sure if this was due to the water / egg solution not in correct ratio? Other than this, the egg was perfectly done.

Miso soup was also good with a lot of scallions and beadcurd. Yummy !

However, I couldn't really agree on the freshness on the sushi. It lacks the glistening freshness I had from other restaurants. The fish were dull and the meat are not sweet. even the shrimp and scallop which usually has sweetness to them, here I don't taste any......... and the sea urchin taste like it's going to go bad very soon...... The worst sea urchin I have ever had.

And the sushi rice...... so disappointing......it's a bit too hard, rice itself lacking enough moisture, and it is over pressed. Could taste the vinegar at all.

Couldn't believe it's got such high rating for the kind of food I had.

This is currently my favorite place in Hong Kong to eat sashimi/sushi, the fish is extremely fresh (flown from Hokkaido), and the price is very very reasonable for its quality.I've had their deluxe sushi set ($200), which was very good, but not as good value wise as their pick your own sushi - which was 10 pieces for $140 if I remember correctly.Environment/atmosphere is good, nothing special but gets the job done.

Environment/atmosphere is good, nothing special but gets the job done. Only (slight) drawback of this place is that I think the waitress is a little bit rough (unrefined), so service is pretty average. However, for this food quality and price, I can tolerate the service not being perfect.

Tried 3 of their lunches recently - each came with the standard chawanmushi, which was of considerable standard, before the main dish. For both the sushi set and the chirashi, one general dissatisfaction I had was in the rice - it was on the dry side and missed the nice subtle vinegary aroma that I like in my sushi rice. The neta-nigiri size ratio can also be improved as the nigiri was too big. The chirashizushi too had excessive rice beneath the neta - and since the rice wasn't so good anyway

Tried 3 of their lunches recently - each came with the standard chawanmushi, which was of considerable standard, before the main dish.

For both the sushi set and the chirashi, one general dissatisfaction I had was in the rice - it was on the dry side and missed the nice subtle vinegary aroma that I like in my sushi rice. The neta-nigiri size ratio can also be improved as the nigiri was too big. The chirashizushi too had excessive rice beneath the neta - and since the rice wasn't so good anyway I left 80% of it. The fish however was reasonably fresh, and I would say pretty good value for money. Oh yes and you get to pick your own sushis.
The 'too much rice' problem applied to the unaju as well.
