This 板長壽司 outlet used to be quite impressive during the early opening days, as 1 Japanese chef and 1 Hong Kong chef did a great job together as a team. Unfortunately this is no longer applicable and last time I came here the meal was disastrous - overly wet and biggish, squarish rice, fish falling off, too much Yuzu-Pepper toppings on some pieces, bad fish cutting, smelly Marinated Mackerel Fish (SHIME SABA -メ鯖), etc.******************Recently in August I came to try it again, mainly to eat the

Recently in August I came to try it again, mainly to eat the PACIFIC SAURY or sometimes called MACKEREL PIKE (SANMA - 秋刀魚) and the in-season White Peach imported from Japan directly!
The Pacific Saury was surprisingly done really well for such a chain-store shop. It was quite fatty and fresh, the skin peeled back carefully and without any of its normally associated Fishiness nor Mushiness feeling. Obviously Air-Flown in quality. Roughly around $65 from memory for this smallish serving size, Pacific Saury is a very cheap but delectable fish in Japanese cuisine that's best in Late Summer or Early-Mid Autumn! More often than not though it can be very fishy!
The White Peaches were a bit plainer than expected.
The Urchins were also quite sweet and really bang for your buck, being a 馬糞 type.
The Otoro as usual was quite fatty but not enough, its also very thin. A bit disappointing.
Other stuff eaten include Crab Miso Soup, 安康魚肝, Kani Miso with Crab, etc, etc.
OVERALL : around a low '4'.
