上個禮拜同老公喺到度過咗一個好開心嘅生日晚餐。雖然唔算平 (但講真啦,好嘅壽司應該都唔會平啦),但係呢度嘅質素、氣氛同地點都好正,所以一分錢一分貨啦。Manager好friendly又迅速,同我哋講解清酒應該搭邊款壽司,因為個日本大廚好害羞嘅。午餐嘅menu都好吸引,好想嚟試下啦。

路過荷李活道看到呢個門面,之後打電話俾佢,佢話要預約先有位,又話要做預授權先付款仲有的確認,去到呢步我都覺得好正常,ok流程做完,就等到時間去試下咯,因為沒去過,所以定了午餐。 去到午餐個日,中午12:30一個人都冇,心底感覺不妙。個日本佬40唔到個年紀可能係傷風緊,從我一進門就在抽鼻🥶。個餐廳經理係香港人,但係全程除去問我飲茶定飲酒之後就未出現過了🤷🏿‍♂️。午餐set選了988,竟然還有1480⋯(真係好慶幸未有嗌個個😅) 988個set,9貫sushi同埋前菜一道魷魚仔,一個miso汁,兩小粒綠茶朱古力。個經理開頭落完單之後就不知去向,也不在旁邊講是哪幾種魚的sushi,最後收錢仲要加一。真係唔知係咪個個「最偉大嘅地方」的人過來開店呃錢。魚也沒有稀少品種,也沒有稀少部位,仲有一貫sushi黏著跟頭髮,完全冇驚喜就只是坑⋯真係伏中之伏,萬望各位Omakase同好注意避坑,真係要多加小心。 全程只得我一個人食,中午一個人都冇,真係踩坑。最後買單,唔知呢個經理搞去邊,仲要個日本佬去後廚叫人仲要等好

 嚟到先發現原來日本老師傅Kimijima-San已經返番日本😂 餐廳仍走最傳統 #omakase 嘅路線 整體嚟講味道唔錯 但冇太大驚喜 個人認為午餐呢個價錢性價比唔算特別高😛

We finally came back to Umi after almost one year (we had tried to book a few times already but failed due to restrictions or our own scheduling) and we found that it was still a lovely experience with the new Chef Harada. While he was definitely not as talkative as the previous Chef we found that new chef exuded a gentle zen-like humbleness and a genuine hospitality. It was a delight to eat each piece of sushi nigiri and was pleasantly surprised to taste the different quirks of each piece.

We finally came back to Umi after almost one year (we had tried to book a few times already but failed due to restrictions or our own scheduling) and we found that it was still a lovely experience with the new Chef Harada. While he was definitely not as talkative as the previous Chef we found that new chef exuded a gentle zen-like humbleness and a genuine hospitality. 
It was a delight to eat each piece of sushi nigiri and was pleasantly surprised to taste the different quirks of each piece. We especially loved the expertly sliced squid fish, which we watched him score with light precision and when he held up the slice of thinly cut fish, we can see all the knife marks sliced perfectly but the whole piece of squid sheet itself was still intact! 
The manageress was also a different one then last time but she was bubbly and attentive and not overbearing at many other sushi bars. 
Overall, we had a great time with the ingredients and service  still maintaining its quality and we cannot wait to be back soon!

The omakase dinner at UMI on Hollywood Road is the worst omakase experience I ever had for the following reasons : 1. we made the reservation one month in advance but couldn’t get the spot we wanted. The male staff told us that they were only able to confirm reservation the day before, hence couldn’t give us the seats. It however turned out they were only reserving the better spot for a bigger group. 2. They have different menus for dinner, but the staff couldn’t explain the differences properly

The omakase dinner at UMI on Hollywood Road is the worst omakase experience I ever had for the following reasons :
1. we made the reservation one month in advance but couldn’t get the spot we wanted. The male staff told us that they were only able to confirm reservation the day before, hence couldn’t give us the seats. It however turned out they were only reserving the better spot for a bigger group.
2. They have different menus for dinner, but the staff couldn’t explain the differences properly, as a result we couldn’t get the food we wanted.
3. We liked the dessert (it’s a strawberry mochi, which would literally take one bite to finish!) and asked to buy an extra serve, the staff however told us that there is no time to serve another dessert because others are waiting for the seats and we have to leave.
4. The most ridiculous thing is that there is a 2 hour time limit for an omakase dinner, which cost over 2000 HKD Per Head! And we were not made aware of this when we made the reservation nor when we entered the restaurant, which is completely absurd! When we spend more than 6000HKD for food and sake, we would be expecting top quality food, top tier service with no time limit, which this place has obviously failed to deliver on all measures! ***In conclusion: ordinary food, terrible seating arrangement, abominable services with complete disregard for the comfort of the customers. I will never go to this place again and I would advise you to do the same. You will have a better dinning experience at a conveyor belt sushi.

🔥正宗江戶前Omakase午餐體驗🔥
✨上環荷李活道上嘅海🌊✨

今次要介紹嘅係日本百年老店傳人主理嘅江戶前Omakase店🇯🇵🏯適逢 @diningcity_hong_kong 做緊特價,小編好幸運咁預約到最後一星期嘅午餐位置🫶🏻 雖然而家嘅價錢已經唔同左,但係食物質素都值得大家參考❣️

⋖ Comments ⋗

➺ TA-KE 竹 $640

哩個Menu包左一個前菜🥗八件手握壽司🍣一個卷物,一碗麵豉湯,同埋一個甜品🍫

當日嘅前菜係一個醬油漬沙律,醃製過嘅牛蒡加埋紫蘇葉洋蔥同埋木魚絲,食落去都幾清新幾特別🤍

壽司嘅選擇就係由師傅根據當日新鮮嘅海鮮去決定🐟 小編當日食到嘅全部都係魚~ 冇貝殼類🐚 整體非常之新鮮,飯量唔會太大,食晒全個course都唔會覺得太飽🥹

較為特別嘅係大頭蝦壽司🍣🦐 師傅將蝦頭入邊嘅膏即場喺你面前調味同埋炙燒🔥

另外仲有一個深海池魚壽司~ 師傅用咗醬油醃製同埋煙燻,煙燻嘅木香味加埋唔太油膩嘅池魚🫶🏻 食落去幾清新幾有特色🔥

出乎意料地好食嘅係當日嘅赤身♥️ 餐廳用咗醬油輕輕醃製同埋芝麻調味,赤身嘅味道一啲都唔腥,肉質仲要軟而不爛!小編覺得呢個赤身有驚喜過大拖羅🫶🏻

佢哋嘅甜品係一份抹茶生朱古力🍵🍫 抹茶味濃而不澀,唔會過甜,口感入口即溶👍🏻 師傅話哩個係餐廳自己製造嘅生朱古力,小編覺得味道非常唔錯❣️值得一試🤍

(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) 整體評論

整體黎講,食物質素唔錯,餐廳亦都非常之有特色🇯🇵 師傅會直接將壽司放喺面前嘅木枱上面,真係唔多omakase店會咁處理🫶🏻 小編覺得師傅嘅服務態度唔錯,食到卷物嘅時候師傅會問飯量如何~ 驚我哋食得太飽🤰🏻 其他人嘅服務就麻麻哋🤣 唔知係咪因為小編當日食14:00🤣 另外,平時哩個Menu要成$988,而家$640就食到🎋 真係幾抵🤍 如果有特價嘅話都推薦大家試吓~

🤍整體味道:4.3/5
🤍服務質素: 4/5
🤍性價比:4/5
🤍回頭指數:4/5

gotta always take advantage of restaurant week for the best foodie deals; so stoked that I got to visit here before we say farewell to chef Kimijima-san and say hello to chef Harada-san, so one last noms and one big hoorah to the ultimate taste of umi!

we all know I have the biggest soft spot for this cuisine and this was d e l i c i o u s, actually very simple but simplicity is key by respecting the true flavours of each fish. Couldn’t help but get the additional uni and the seared smokey nigiris were my favourite - strong with unami and that’s why we like it 💯; self care sort of experience and almost like an escape to Japan in itself 🇯🇵 tasting menu plus the supplement uni for additional $188 on top of the $640 restaurant week menu!

questionable entrance (took me a hot second) but absolutely beautiful interior with a floral tree hung from the ceiling while I overlook the whole journey from start to finish ✨

喺個人重未有得飛之前,唯有得閑食吓家鄉嘢止吓喝😎今次去咗食Omakase Lunch, 雖然而家愈嚟愈多地方食Omakase,但「海」確實係又傳統又有質素嘅少數,「海」雖然只有10個位,但係樓底超高,所以仍然坐得好舒服,當日可能係平日加上我哋食1:45嗰塲,全場得我哋兩個,入到去日本老師傅已經好有禮貌咁同我哋打招呼跟住講咗一大堆日文(可能見我隔籬嗰個成個日本妹咁😂),當然後來知我哋唔識日文,就同我哋講英文同簡單嘅中文👍🏻因為得我哋兩個,老師傅全程喺我哋面前好有心機慢慢整慢慢講,而師傅整完每一件唔會用碟上,係直接放喺前面嘅枱面(呢個就係傳統啦),所以每個人額外都會有一張放得靚靚嘅濕紙巾,俾有需要嘅時候可以自己清潔一下佢嘅魚生非常新鮮,八件壽司由淡到濃味咁出,再加上師傅特別每一種都會配上一啲好簡單嘅調味或者汁料,令到更加突出到每種魚生嘅鮮味,之後仲有一個手卷,當日係「海膽」,真係唔係講笑,海膽係多個飯,由外層紫菜咬落去淡淡都係鮮甜嘅「海膽」,真係超滿足,到最後有抹茶朱古力收尾,真係好圓滿🥰

The entrance has a small plaque showing the restaurant’s name and if not paying attention one can easily walk by without noticing. Going in the waitress and chefs greeted us, and it is the long sushi table made from a large slab of wood which immediately caught our attention. There are some nice touches of art too, including a modern-art painting and a tree with flowers hanging upside down from the roof.

There are only four customers on the night, and we are served by Chef Kimijima, who has lived in HK for 22 years, but will be leaving HK at the end of the month to return to Japan. We have the Omakase Experience ($2,088) while I also go for sake pairing ($800).

The first course is Truffle Rice, a signature from Chef Kimijima. The white truffle is freshly shaved and intensely fragrant, with the aromas so prominent I can smell from a distance. The rice has also a great texture, of more bite than the shari used for sushi, appropriately seasoned, and mixed with also truffle oil to further enhance the flavours. No wonder this is the signature, featuring in the beginning of the course.

In the sake pairing, there are a total of four different sakes served. The first one is Kiritto 45 from Michisakari, a super dry sake that revolutionized the Japanese sake industry in the 1970s when the sweeter version was at its peak of popularity. Its dry nature I found pairing well with the more delicate-flavoured sashimi.

The second course is Zuwa-gani, or Snow Crab. Presented as a neat cube, the snow crab meat is prepared with dashi gelatin, adding some caviar on top. The wonderful umami notes from the dashi, the delicate sweetness from the crab meat, and the touch of savoury from the caviar, combine to make this a nice feast in flavours.

The third course is Bonito, or Skipjack Tuna. Instead of smoking, the chef has served it raw. Originally worrying that the flesh will have too much strong smell it is surprisingly pleasant through the clever use of chives and myoga. There are also some baby sorrel leaves underneath, and its sour and lemony taste also helps to cleanse the palate from the bonito. Another example of the thoughtfulness of the chef

The fourth course is Tako, or Octopus. Seeing the chef takes out the tentacles from the bowl and cutting a few pieces already started my mouth watering. The octopus is very tender, with umami flavours from the braising sauce bursting out on each bite. Pairing with a bit of yuzu kosho and wasabi, plus some yuzu peels on top, help to freshen and increase the complexity of flavours even further.

The fifth course is Awabi, or Abalone. Again, seeing the chef in action is part of the enjoyment. While many would think there is no technique in cutting the abalone, on closer look the chef has deliberately twisted the wrist during the process to create a wavy surface on the cut. Whether it is this or other reason I am not sure, but the abalone is certainly very tender and without any rubbery texture. Paired with the paste made from the liver adds to the wonders in its taste.

Transitioning to the sushi, the second sake is served. The Kokuryu Daiginjo has richer fruity notes and heavier body, which makes it suitable to pair with the sushi.

The first sushi is Hirame, or Flounder. The chef has added half a shiso leaf in the sushi, and one can see through the translucent flesh to the green underneath. The delicate taste of the flounder has been supplemented with a bit of yuzu kosho to good effect. One thing to note is that Chef Kimijima kneads a smaller shari than most other sushi restaurants, which I believe is the more traditional style.

The second sushi is Akamutsu, or Rosy Seabass. The chef has lightly torched this prized deepwater fish, to release its fragrant fish oil. On the bite the rich fatty texture is very pleasant, smooth and fulfilling. Another great piece.

The third sushi is Kanpachi, or Greater Amberjack. With a decent amount of fat, the fish has a firm texture, but a milder sweet taste. The most amazing thing however is how the chef has up-leveled the flavours through a bit of sesame, which are intense in its note but has good harmony with the greater amberjack.

The fourth sushi is Hotategai, or Scallop. The large scallop is first cut in half, and then further butterfly-sliced to spread longer. Using a piece of shiso leaf underneath again, the chef uses sea salt and some yuzu shavings to season the scallop, to bring forward the sweetness.

The fifth sushi is Ishigakigai, or Bering Sea Cockle. The crunchy texture of the cockle and the sweet, umami taste is wonderful, and while the chef did not smash the cockle to make it stand like other sushi chefs, he touches the tip and the muscle contracts, showing its freshness also.

Before going to the second part of the sushi another sake is served to pair. The Junmai Daiginjo from Kudokijozu has a fresh taste, sweeter than the last one with a very well-balanced palate. Personally my favourite sake on the night.

The sixth sushi is Kuruma-ebi, or Japanese Tiger Prawn. After poaching the chef allows the prawn to cool down a bit before removing the shell and head, taking away the brown meat to make into a paste. Using it to enhance the flavours, he put that as fillings inside the sushi. The firm texture of the prawn meat, its natural sweetness and the umami coming from the soy sauce created a perfect combination. Really good.

The seventh sushi is Anago, or Sea Eel. A bit different than the other sushiya making the sea eel so soft like dissolving in the mouth, here it has a much firmer texture, and while it is nicely grilled and the taste is nothing inferior comparatively, I would still prefer the softer style.

Coming to the end of the sushi is the trio of tuna, which comes from Oma in Aomori, with the Akami Zuke, or Lean Tuna, first being served. Marinated in soy sauce, the tuna is a bit too salty for me unfortunately. But the soft and smooth texture of the tuna, as well as the pinch of fragrant sesame on top, helps to rescue some marks.

The last two pieces, Chu-toro and O-toro, or Medium Fatty Tuna and Fatty Tuna, are served together. Both are very good, without any tendon and chewiness, and the burst of fish oil on the bite is a great experience that makes people around the world crave for this.

Coming towards the end, I am surprised to see there is a last sake to pair. The Daiginjo from Isojiman has a floral note, with a clean and clear taste, which helps to remove the flavours in the mouth to a good effect.

We have made the request to add caviar ($288 supplement) to the Uni Maki, or Sea Urchin Handroll. After checking with us on the amount of rice needed, the chef has scooped in a generous portion of the expensive caviar, and an abundance of the nice sea urchin, to make the handroll. If you worry about still being hungry because of the small amount of shari on each sushi, finishing this maki will most likely make you full.

The Tamago, or Egg, wraps it up, with a fluffy interior and a deep-coloured, firmer surface. The rich umami flavours are fantastic, apparently coming from the great broth mixed with the egg. It is so good that I am tempted to request the chef to give me another piece.

The Miso Soup has a large clam, and the hot soup has a comforting effect to the stomach, also not overly salty.

The dessert includes a Homemade Daifuku, a round mochi wrapping a Kyoho Grape, as well as Matcha Chocolate. Both are very good, and I can tell the chef has paid a great deal of attention on this, while many would simply take the easy way of offering fruit in my experience. These can be sold on its own in a Japanese confectionary shop to illustrate how good they are.

The service is good, but ideally I want to understand more the ingredients and the food for even better enjoyment. I guess if the chef may not be exactly very comfortable doing that using English, the waitress perhaps can support more in that respect. The bill is $6,204 and frankly is a bit on the high end, but to see how Chef Kimijima continues to uphold some of the traditional elements in his cuisine has a value on its own.

這次是和同事慶祝生日的午餐。餐廳面積唔算大,大概可以容納十人左右。一入去到,感覺非常日式,但座位屬於渦入的設計,雖然伸對腳入去坐,對於身型比較大份的同事則有點辛苦和不便。安座後,師傅就開始為我們上菜。師傅是正宗日本人!個人而言, 食得omakase 都會期望同師傅有多d 交流, 但日本師傅只能以廣東話讀出食物的名, 更別說是介紹食物了!其次, 食物的種類都比較普通, 但味道尚算合理, 最後的海膽卷更是啖啖海膽! 但除此之外, 實在沒有什麼驚喜!這個價錢提供這樣的質素, 再加上現時omakase餐廳林立, 恐怕不會再來這一間了。

個人而言, 食得omakase 都會期望同師傅有多d 交流, 但日本師傅只能以廣東話讀出食物的名, 更別說是介紹食物了!

其次, 食物的種類都比較普通, 但味道尚算合理, 最後的海膽卷更是啖啖海膽! 但除此之外, 實在沒有什麼驚喜!

🥂Iwate Oyster 岩手縣生蠔
🥂Steamed Abalone with liver sauce and wasabi

Nigiris:
🥂Karei 左口魚
Forgot to take a proper picture of the first nigiri. The chef added lemon juice, yuzu and rock salt to balance the sourness and saltiness that brought out the flavour of the fish even more.
.
🥂Kimedai 金目鯛
I’d prefer having it without the plum sauce on top, as it made it too sour and salty.

🥂Silver Cod Fish 銀雪魚
Silver cod fish is often served in teppanyaki instead of omakase. Topped with the stem of wasabi, the mild wasabi flavour infused into the entire fish and gave a prolonged aftertaste.

With a nice grilled smell, the skin was a bit crispy that gave a nice crunch but the fish texture was still very soft.

A rich seafood soup to warm our stomach. The clam was big and not rubbery.
.
🥂Melons and Homemade Matcha Chocolate
As we celebrated my friend’s birthday, the chef prepared a candle for that. It was a sweet gesture that the staff was very helpful on helping us to take pictures.

Overall the quality was decent but I’d expect more uniqueness of ingredients.

Dinner Omakase: $1888/person

This restaurant has been on my wishlist for a while, and my girlfriend had decided to book this restaurant for my birthday celebration.

After knowing we'll be visiting, I immediately checked out the reviews, and saw the point about ensuring to arrive at exactly the booked time. Arriving too late will (understandably and very rightly so) be given an attitude by the staffs, but knowing that arriving too early (10 mins + before booking time) will also cause you to receive the same treatment, was a bit surprising. Either way, this didn't bother me as I'm usually a punctual person. The reviews I've read should have been a good warning to the service we'd be receiving, which in hindsight was an obvious signal. 

Anyway, we arrived exactly on time and was seated without much trouble by middle aged woman, who seemed quite sincere at first. We were offered an electronic menu to review the menu, which included 2 omakase menu's, and the drinks menu. We opted for the more expensive omakase "Matsu" plan. When asked if we would like to have any drinks,  we politely said we'll have tea for now and will choose our beverage later. This was the turning point of our experience. It felt that because we decided not to order a beverage (at the time), we were treated differently to other customers.

The most obvious sign was when other customers were given paper mask holders, we enquired if we could both get some as well, the middle aged woman did apologise for not providing any to us, but gave us transparent plastic wallets, which I didn't actually think were mask holders as we had to fold our masks to fit them in.  This immediately affected our experience as the change of the middle aged woman's attitude was very sudden. Despite this, the younger waitress continued with great service, and the omakase chefs were experienced and professional.

In the middle of the meal, we decided to finally order our beverage, a half bottle of sake and a plum wine liquor. Only when drinks were ordered, did the attitude of the middle aged woman start to become more acceptable.

Food quality was very decent and fresh. However for the price of the Matsu menu (HKD1488 / person), I was a bit disappointed with the varieties we had. I had expected more varieties and portion to the overall menu.

To round off the experience, since there was a birthday request, our dessert had a candle and the chef offered to help us take a photo. The dessert was no different to the other customers' desserts.

The decoration and atmosphere of the dining is quite well arranged.

In summary, the food was good, but not worth the price. For the same price, I've had better variety and quality omakase. The service is very dependent and subjective on the  waitress which was a big turn-off for me. Mainly because of the service, one visit was sufficient and there probably will not be a second.

CNY Omakase Experience ✨


Lunch – $988+10%
。前菜
壽司十貫
。卷物
。味增湯
。抹茶set 生朱古力


好難得年初一、二有開門
不過lunch就俾平時貴咗少少
環境好舒服,入口就一向難揾~
服務唔錯好殷勤,好快手
我哋食第二輪1:45,無其他人所以變包場


食物質數有保證,材料好新鮮
份量唔算大,但個人覺得剛剛好
男仔如果覺得唔夠飽
手卷部分可以叫師傅俾多少少飯
整體嚟講當日魚類款式唔算多
一半以上都係以吞拿魚為主
其他有金目鯛、帆立貝、海鰻、牡丹蝦等等
但大、中拖羅真係特別好食
油份滿分,入口即溶!


閒談間得知老師傅可能就快退休返日本
食到日本傳統手法嘅機會買少見少
有機會考慮再幫襯一次!
