Mr. Lam is well known for knowing his stuff in terms of food and drinks. This I believe is one of his high-end restaurants and in fact he has a few around this area, all ran by famous/talented Japanese chef and all quite hidden for some reason (I suspect rent related). However, frankly speaking I was never a fan of his restaurants as I always thought it's more pricey than it has to be given the quality of the food they are presenting.

We decided to go for the premium tasting menu with all the signature dishes of the restaurant. As there were too many dishes unfortunately I can't show each and everyone in the right order. I would skip most of the appetizers as I didn't find them that impressive.
Menu of the night.
Prime Tuna with simmered abalone. The tuna was fabulous.
Sakura shrimp ball, this was one of my favorite dishes of the night. With a yuzu peel the whole dish was elevated and it's refreshing yet rich.
The grilled crab meat served in crab shell. Excellent presentation and absolutely delicious.
The sushit bento box was a surprise to me. Not only were the portions very small (albeit delicious), the whole presentation was very impressive.
And then before dessert there was a truffle clay pot rice which was supposed to be their signature dish. By that time because the portions were so small you will become quite hungry and will probably binge eat the rice. I didn't find it that amazing though, was rather underwhelming at this point as everyone was looking forward to this final dish.
Finally the dessert, a fresh Japanese orange jelly stuffed in the original orange and an ice cream red bean cake. This was delicious.
In conclusion, I think this restaurant is very good for Hong Kong standards in terms of quality, but I remain my same view that the restaurant is still quite pricey for the portions/qualities they offer. I would only come back if there are special occasions.
