Went for lunch while in happy valley.
This a small restaurant – probably 10 small tables, interior is quite aged, place could use a make-over. But as long as the food is good … so let’s see.
There are 10 lunch offers between 84 and 111 HKD (plus 10% service). I went for the Beef Inaniwa udon for 99 HKD.
The seasonal appetizer was a very small bowl of Wakame Seaweem salad, which tasted like the stuff you can buy ready made in the supermarket. Not a very impressive start of the meal.
Next came three pieces of California roll. These were obviously fresh made and nicely arranged. The rice was a bit loose, making the roll a bit difficult to eat as it was immediately falling apart, but the taste was quite good and it came with a good portion of fish roe (and a bit too much mayo for my taste).
Finally the beef udon. I have to admit that I wasn’t aware that Inaniwa udon are quite different from regular udon – they are flat and quite thin, more like linguine. What I got was a large bowl with a clear soup, the mentioned Inaniwa udon, a relatively small amount of very thin cut, very lean beef plus a bit of seaweed and scallions. Taste of the soup was very good, but could have been stronger for my taste. The noodles where good, but could have been a bit harder (honestly I would prefer regular udon). Beef was also good, but could have been a bit more. But a nice bowl of noodles overall.
So overall: Quite good value for 109 HKD (including service), wouldn’t drive to Happy Valley to go there, but worth a try if in the area.
