It was our second visit. Our first visit was over a year ago and we ordered the cheaper lunch set so we were quite pleased by their sushi but left with a not-so-full stomach. This time we decided to try their Omakase Sushi Sets (13 pieces) at $580+10%.

It was our second visit. Our first visit was over a year ago and we ordered the cheaper lunch set so we were quite pleased by their sushi but left with a not-so-full stomach. This time we decided to try their Omakase Sushi Sets (13 pieces) at $580+10%. It seemed to be quite a good value of money to have 4 more at an additional cost of $100+10%!

Our first impression of the dining experience was not so good because the attitude of one of the waitresses was not so friendly. She ordered us to take our seats in a commanding tone and was not so friendly when we followed up with our Miso soup and ice-cream.

Appetiser 高菜 was not good. They were just some pickled veggies which were too salty.

柚子蟹肉茶碗蒸 was served really hot. It looked so lovely. It seemed to be the same as the one we ate last time. It smelt super good of yuzu when opened. It tasted so good of yuzu and crab meat when I ate it. There were lots of ingredients and the egg was very smooth. It was pretty good. If I had to pick bones from an egg, the chicken was a bit too rough.

The pickled gingers were so thick. They didn't taste particularly good. My lunch partner saw them opening packaged pickled gingers to serve us. The chef was too busy refilling our pickled gingers too but was happy to serve us gingers when asked.

Here you go our first sushi. 石桓鯛 looked so lovely with small flowers on top. It was fresh with nothing special.

Our second sushi 深海池魚. A pretty common sushi with nothing special either.

Our 3rd sushi 白蝦. The shrimps were minced so they were not so sticky texture-wise. Still, it tasted fresh and was quite good.

Our 4th sushi 黑松露帆立貝. It smelt so good of black truffle even before eating. The scallop was so meaty. I saw the other customers ordering 9 pieces of sushi and their scallops didn't have black truffle on top

Our 5th sushi 大toro. It was really fatty and melted in my mouth.

Our 6th sushi 鰤魚. The fish wasn't very special but the crispy toppings did add some texture to it.

Our 7th sushi 剝皮魚. I remembered we also had this last time. The dressing was very delicious. There were loads of fish on top with very colourful sesames!

Our 8th sushi 馬糞海膽. Again there were loads of sea urchin! They were fresh but a bit too cold though.

Our 9th sushi grilled 赤鯥魚. Grilled fish was quite good with the nice grilled smell. It was quite fatty too but the seasoning was a bit too strong to make it a bit too salty.

Our 10th sushi 秋刀魚. It was pretty fresh! 秋刀魚 was usually pretty 腥 but this one was prepared quite well that we didn't find it 腥 at all!

Our 11th sushi 右口魚邊. It was super fatty and melted in my mouth immediately.

Our 12th sushi 筋子. This one was really good. It was not salty at all despite the usually salty salmon roes, as it was balanced by the 紅心蘿蔔 and yuzu seasoning! It was so refreshing to the mouth!

Our 13th sushi 超toro grilled by 日本櫻花木. When we saw the chef take out the 超toro we were amazed how fatty it was! It was so fatty that it looked like pork belly! The seaweed was super crispy. The whole thing didn't taste so greasy after eating.

The miso soup was so small but super concentrated.

We got to choose either coffee or ice-cream. We both chose ice-cream of course.

Yuzu sherbet was pretty refreshing.

Black Sesame Ice-cream

Black sesame ice-cream was also quite delicious. A good end to the meal.

This time I did feel full after the whole meal.

The chef at the sushi bar who served us was so nice and friendly that he always wore a smile on his face and was so willing to answer questions. He gave us such a good dining experience despite the relatively poor service of one of the waitresses. Overall, It was quite a good value for money for 13 pieces of sushi with some less commonly served ones at such a price. Another pleasing thing about this place was that the chef was particularly good at putting different kinds of toppings on the sushi to at least decorate them if not adding different flavours / textures to the sushi. But we did feel a bit thirsty afterwards as all of their sashimi got served with a coat of soy sauce above. In short, I would recommend this place for some high-quality omakase sushi lunch sets. However, remember to allow sufficient time in advance to make reservations! And I really hope the service of their waitress could improve for our next visit.
