I placed a reservation for a group of 5 on the same day for lunch on a weekday and still managed to get 5 seats at the sushi counter. Was it a recent trend for slightly higher-end restaurants like this nowadays?
Salad and Steamed Egg Custard

Our first dish was the salad and steamed egg custard. Last time, there was an appetiser rather than a salad. Given the pretty bad quality of appetiser last time, the salad was definitely much better. The 柚子蟹肉茶碗蒸 was as usual. It was pretty good. It was served really hot. There were lots of ingredients but most of the crab meat was on the surface. The egg was very smooth.

The third piece was 左囗魚 with 紫蘇葉花冧. It was outstanding with a perfect match between the fish and the toppings. The fish was in season and was again very fresh. You could also tell that the 紫蘇葉花冧 was super fresh too. Well done indeed.

The fourth piece was 白蝦, which I also had last time. The shrimps were minced so they were not so sticky texture-wise. Nothing new to me.

I forgot to take a photo of the 12th one which was 右口魚邊, which I also had last time. It was super fatty and melted in my mouth immediately. All my lunch partners said it was delicious.

The last one was 大拖羅. I liked it especially how there were so much spring onions.

An ice-cream scoop was included in the lunch set, with a choice of green tea or black sesame. I had a mixture of green tea and black sesame (quite a creative offer to mix the two flavours together!).
Despite the seemingly less crowded restaurant during this hour of the lunch (we actually came in at 1:30p.m.), service seemed to not have improved with no one to fill up our cups of tea and we always had to ask for refilling the sliced gingers for us. I really hope the restaurant has heard us and do something to improve their service given the small number of seats anyway.
That said, with 13 pieces of sushi of such a quality at a price of $680+10%, I had to admit that it was quite a good value for money, less so though after the $100+10% inflation in price. For non-first-time visitors, it would be good if the chef could try to offer more creative pieces to appeal to us and attract us to come back from time to time.
