Having heard so much good reviews about Ore-no, we came here with high expectations. Unfortunately it was so much of a disappointment that I would not recommend it to my friends. Can't believe they are a Michelin 2 star restaurant seriously - absolutely overrated. After trying it myself, I would advise you to be sceptical about some of the reviews here.
So we made a booking at 8:15 as they have two seatings (first one at 6:30) and we got seated when we arrive since the restaurant is not busy (i tried booking for couple of Friday dinners but they are full everytime for both seatings)
First we ordered the small assorted sashimi ($480) which consists of uni, tuna and 4 other types of fish (no salmon) with three pieces each - portion was ok and fish was fresh but they are definitely not one of the best
Then we ordered the wagyu beef steak ($400) which was soft and tender and a bit more cooked than medium rare - generally good but for this price, i can probably get better beef steak
Next we ordered curry beef rice - MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT of the whole nighttheres only a few tiny cubes of beef and taste pretty much like instant curry that you can make at home, not impressed at all!
We also ordered the bukkake udon ($50) - which is one of the only things that we would recommend the whole night, its a cold udon served with scrambled egg and little soup, good value for money...we should each have just ordered this udon for dinner seriously...
We then ordered the chicken breast - not something that i would put on the menu...again taste exactly like something i eat at home
Lastly we ended the dinner with the pineapple creme brulee ($60) which was really good and i would recommend it.
I felt really bad for choosing this restaurant when my friends did not feel full at all after the whole dinner.
i'm not sure if it was cos we didn't order their specialties or it was really the food quality, but i suppose everything on the menu should live up to the standard of a michelin 2 star restaurant.. I would have expected it to be a much more pleasant meal. very disappointed
题外话/补充资料:
Do not expect any services at all...the restaurant was half full tonight yet it was so hard to get the attention of a waiter..
Food was served super slow..we waited for half hour before our food came
They don't serve tap water...you must order either sparkling or still water but one bottle is the size for one person..Didn't pay attention to how much per bottle though
