I always have this struggle during lunchtime – where to find nice sushi in Wanchai? I am a die-hard fan of Japanese food, but when the question comes, it makes me realize it’s indeed difficult to find a decent Japanese restaurant in this office-packed jungle. Then there comes a day after work that I randomly stroll past this new sushi place, “Sushi Jun”. You wouldn’t be surprised that I immediately decided to give it a try the next day with my colleague, and I’m glad it did not disappoint. Heard
I always have this struggle during lunchtime – where to find nice sushi in Wanchai? I am a die-hard fan of Japanese food, but when the question comes, it makes me realize it’s indeed difficult to find a decent Japanese restaurant in this office-packed jungle. Then there comes a day after work that I randomly stroll past this new sushi place, “Sushi Jun”. You wouldn’t be surprised that I immediately decided to give it a try the next day with my colleague, and I’m glad it did not disappoint. Heard the resto was managed by a famous chef who was in charge of Grand Hyatt’s Kaetsu before – no wonder why.
Here is what I ordered, the Omakase Nigiri Sushi set (HK$450) which consists of 12 kinds of sashimi and sushi, including toro, sea urchin, sea eel, flounder’s porch, needle fish, leather jacket fish with liver sauce, striped jack and scallop. The sashimi is so fresh and smooth that it literally slides down your throat in one gulp, and the flavor is so strong that it still remained in my mouth even after I swallowed the entire piece of fish. The thickness of every piece of sashimi is overwhelming – which makes the lunch set totally worth the price.
My colleague ordered the tempura set (HK$150). I tried one of the shrimp tempura which is so crispy but light in texture. We both agreed the food quality here was above average.
The lunch sets are all served with appetizer, salad, steamed egg custard, miso soup, pickles and dessert. The miso soup is especially impressive – don’t miss it.Full lunch indeed, but my sushi crave is totally satisfied!
