I have been coming to this sushi-ya since 2009, before it was renovated and the view was the Hyson place construction site. Back then a 10 piece sushi set was only HK$200, and the quality was superb.As the years went on, i continued to revisit the place quite regularly, i went 4 to 5 times each year, for both lunchand dinner. After its renovation in the mid-teens, the place looked a lot nicer and brighter with the new wooden furnitures in the sushi bar area. I went numerous times from this point

As the years went on, i continued to revisit the place quite regularly, i went 4 to 5 times each year, for both lunch
and dinner. After its renovation in the mid-teens, the place looked a lot nicer and brighter with the new wooden
furnitures in the sushi bar area. I went numerous times from this point onwards mostly for dinner. The pricing
got more and more expensive, but was inline with how prices went up for other fine dining restaurants during
the same period.
The quality of the food and the way the chef adds a little touch, creating his own unique style of flavour is what
made me keep going back.
The waitresses are also super kind and helpful, top notch service.
However, in recent years, the size of the sushi being served is undeniably one of the stingiest out there, it is so tiny
that often times the sushi rice breaks apart, theres so little rice that it barely holds its shape. And the most
recent time i visited, the number of sushis that arrived was actually less than what I ordered & paid for.
After i complained they surely made the moment more awkward. For a customer like me, who
had been visiting consistently for over a decade amid the rising prices and shrinking sushi sizes, they looked at me
like i was a liar and they even checked on the CCTV, which in the end they realised they came up short, and made
it right. But the fact that i had to go through that drama, was just unbelievable. Now i am not a japanese speaker
(where the chef Clearly has a strong preference on serving) but I felt i should have been treated with a little more
respect from the sushi chef/owner.
Plenty of other sushi restaurants i've yet to explore, and my most recent visit will be my last.
