完全失望
2023-11-05 1610 views
I was looking forward to trying NOI and I must say I'm grossly disappointed. We took the signature finner full menu. The main chefs aren't around. Everything was salty or overly sweet. The courses individually were poorly executed nor do they make sense in a menu. It's like a nasty mimic of Japanese handling fish, theirs was fishy and blend. The squid dish was soaked in a mightily salty broth. The peas covered whatever flavour there should be for uni. Bread well its a cute Hokkaido sweet glazed

I was looking forward to trying NOI and I must say I'm grossly disappointed. We took the signature finner full menu. The main chefs aren't around. Everything was salty or overly sweet. The courses individually were poorly executed nor do they make sense in a menu. It's like a nasty mimic of Japanese handling fish, theirs was fishy and blend. The squid dish was soaked in a mightily salty broth. The peas covered whatever flavour there should be for uni. Bread well its a cute Hokkaido sweet glazed that my kids love, shockingly i found that a relief to cleanse the fishiness and bitterness from my palate. The venison was cooked well, the sauce again too heavy. The pasta.... for an Italian restaurant it was cold the pasta didn't blend with the sauce its like adding cold soba into a dish after its been cooked. Prawns were cold n raw didn't have flavour.
Dessert, lol ice-cream with chocolate sauce with a spoon of caviar. What a waste and didn't do each other justice. The sweet potato flan is a sweet mush I took a wee bite n left it. This came after the lobster which was half raw plated with again overly sweet pumpkin mush.

I have expressed my opinion gently and repeatedly to various staff for chef to taste his own sauce but all stared at me wild eyed without knowing how to respond.

The wine pairing which is around hkd2000 with service charge, very average wine and the chardonnay I think has gone bad and was served very very warm.

I don't know where the star comes from and its very undeserving. So 2 ppl plus 2 wine pairing it's over hkd10k there are plenty of options out there.

The ingredients did look fresh but it's put together in a messy non sensical manner.
Husband and I both had very upset running tummy when we go home.  The barely cooked half lukewarm seafood might just had done it.
NEVER AGAIN.
