Quick summary:
Food: Pretty fresh and tasty. Portions were a big on the small side though.
Pricing: Pricing was expected for a venue located inside the Pacific Place mall. Average lunch set would run you about 200$
Environment: A bit loud but it was clean and very modern.
My colleagues and I have wanted to try this place for around a month now but sadly every time we tried to call in for a reservation (1 or 2 days ahead) or walk in, they would always be full. This time we were smart, and called ahead over a week early to secure the lunch reservation! We did not have to wait and got seated instantly.
The lunch set menu had quite a lot of options and contained many options all ranging from 150-250 dollars minus the occasional Deluxe sashimi options which would cost upwards of 350$.
Environment: The restaurant is new addition to Pacific place and took the spot of the old Gigasports.. but I might be wrong. It was very clear, well renovated to provide a very minimalistic modern feel. The lights were not too bright so it was a comfortable social environment minus the sound. It might have to do with the fact that it was a Friday or the acoustics of the restaurant made it sound like there were easily double or triple the amount of patrons there actually were, The reception at our seat was very poor as it took us forever to realize our colleague was still waiting outside for us since her calls/texts were not getting through. Either way, we were all very pleased with the service, décor and venue.
Food and Pricing: We all chose to order the 268 Deluxe Sushi set since it was a Friday gathering and we all deserved a little bit of indulging. The set came with a salad, soup and Chawanmushi. Nothing really stood out but nothing disappointed either. The sashimi was fresh, Uni included and that is quite a feat itself. I think the overall presentation could have bit a bit higher end but it was fine as it is. The pricing as I mentioned was a bit on the higher end but at least the quality of the food reflected, for the most part, what the price suggested. This is not always the case in hk!
Now what the title is leading to... On Openrice there is an ad mentioning a 500 Asia Mile reward and complimentary dessert after spending 1000 HKD. Given it was our own fault for not asking the staff, I feel like we missed out on this! and the staff did not even ask!!! So we ended up missing out on 500 Asia miles and a dessert.
