Ok I know I said "fine dining" below, and the prices would certainly place this place in a fine dining bracket, but the wooden snap-off chopsticks, the service etc would put this establishment back down to a normal sushi bar. But don't let that put you off going to this place!
With fresh ingredients, I think its always hard to maintain the same degree of high standards everytime. After all, every fish is different, every cow is different, get what I mean? Therefore when I read someone's post that the Ikkura was "alright", I have to disagree. It was the most flavourful Ikkura I have ever had. If someone knows better Ikkura than this place, please tell me.
I didn't try the sea urchin in its shell...that looks bloody awesome. Will have to get that next time I go back. Sea-urchin sushi was alright. My lunch companion thought it the next thing to heavenliness.
I, on the other hand, thought that the price was next to heavenliness! For lunch, this place drums you up an 8-block-sushi set for less than HKD200, which they normally sell for in excess of HKD800 (I am told). I would normally assume that the prices are lower because they utilise last night's leftover fish...didn't feel that way here...maybe they were SO fresh last night, they were still alive the next day.
Sounds awesome, yes? Well, the answer is yes and no. For all the fantastic prices and fresh ingredients, the portions are portions FOR GIRLS!!! If they didn't take (another quibble) an hour to get our food on the table (sushi? you need to cook sushi?), would've ordered another one. Would have HAD to order another one.
