Conveniently located in WTC, Yaki ANA is an all around Japanese restaurant which HKers tend to love so they can get a variety of Japanese cuisine all in one place. Usually I am wary of places like this because, more often than not, by trying to be all things to everyone you end up being with average quality but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food here.

I was recommended this yuzu drink in lieu of my usual umeshu and it turned out to be addictively delicious! I think I ended up downing 3 or 4 of these throughout the night.
We got some dried pufferfish jerky to eat which is one my favorite Japanese appetizers to munch on and perfect with drinking alcohol.
The sashimi platter with toro, sanma, kinmedai and amaebi was really fresh and flavorful especially the sanma which is in season now!
The sujiko sushi (salted salmon roe still in the sack) was sweet and rich in flavors while the seared engawa sushi had lighter flavors.
The negi toro rice crackers had a nice concept but the cracker turned out to be a hard while the toro lacked depth in flavor.
The trio crab roll with crab meat, crab roe and crab cream was sinfully rich and satisfying to eat!
The yakitori was also decent here but the items that stood out the most were the prawns and squid which incorporated shiso leaves in the grilling which lent an extra layer of flavors to the ingredients.
The crab congee was so good that I couldn't help but get seconds even though I was stuffed already!
The apple sherbet dessert here was so cute as it had arrived in a frozen apple bowl with a lid while the sherbet was refreshingly sweet as the ending of our meal!
