一分錢，一分貨。整體不錯但不突出。服務有待改善。整體只屬一般。【5.5分/10分】Decent cooked Japanese cuisine.Good wagyu.Green service.Not quite 2 stars Michelin. The "Ore No" group of restaurants is big in Tokyo. The marketing pitch is along the line of "Michelin for the people". The most interesting aspect of the restaurant is the standing table, which sought to create a more casual dining experience. About 30% of the tables in the restaurant consists of standing tables.There is also an outdoor area so it should be good for happy

About 30% of the tables in the restaurant consists of standing tables.There is also an outdoor area so it should be good for happy hour.
There is a seasonal menu which consists of dishes recommended by the 2 star Michelin chief, Okamoto san. We've almost ordered everything on that list.
The food came after a short wait.

Wagyu tenderloin foie gras truffle sauce: ($480) This was highly recommended by the friendly Japanese manager (the one who has curly hair and who speaks fluent Cantonese).The grade of the wagyu wasn't specified. Everyone liked the beef, which was succulent, tender and tasty. The sauce was also very good, which consisted mainly of what seemed to be teriyaki sauce with a hint of black pepper taste. The foie gras was also nice. The portion was generous but the surface could be crispier.
The mashed potato was excellent. Very buttery. Similar to the one I had at Robuchon. Recommended.

Seared abalone wrapped with Japanese paper "Housho": The whole dish came in a piece of Japanese paper which wrapped the whole dish before being served. I suspect the purpose was to keep the flavour and moist of the dish.The abalone was a bit tough and lacked taste. The uni did not have much umami either. It was slightly enhanced by the abalone liver sauce (essentially tasted like ponzu) and sesame sauce. The sea mustard (konbu) was dry and hard to swollow. Overall, just OK. Not something I'd recommend.

Buri Shabu shabu: The soup base of this shabu shabu was simply konbu and yuzu. The citrus taste was refreshing.It came with 8 pieces of Buri. Literally just dip the buri in the pot for a few seconds and it's ready to eat. It was fun but not particularly tasty as the buri was not extremely fresh, even after dipping it into the ponzu or sesame sauce.

Steamed sushi: Essentially a steamed chirashi sushi with Ikura, crab meat, shredded eggs, Uni and a few slices of awabi.The awabi here was far more tasty than the previous dish. The other ingredients were fresh and delicious. We thought the steamed sushi would have been very different from normal sushi but actually it wasn't. A solid choice but nothing too spectacular unless you've never had chirashi suchi before.

This was intestines of sea cucumber with steamed egg. The egg was very smooth. At the bottom part of the chawanmushi was some kono wata, which is a highly acquired taste. It may taste like seawater for some. Worth a try if you are adventerous.

Service: I don't usually comment on service unless it's very good or very bad. In this case, it's the latter situation. Despite repeating the order for red mine for more than 10 times and in three different languages (Japanese, Cantonese and English), they still managed to mess up the order - twice.
There was zero explanation of the dishes by one Japanese manager (not the one who spoke Cantonese), messy arrangement of dishes and utensils, and generally pretty rough and clumsy services.
Conclusion: The bill came down to about HK$800 per person, which I think was reasonable considering the amount of food and drinks that we've had (2 cocktails, 4 beers and 4 glasses of red.)
There were more misses than hits when it comes to the food. Overall, the service was poor. Neverthless, because of the reasonable price, I'll give the place a reasonable doubt and will not give it a crying face.
OK
