Ship Street is a relatively short street running perpendicular to Johnston Road and Queen’s Road East. However, this short lane has already been settled with a few interesting multinational restaurants such as 22 Ships serving Spanish cuisine, Limehouse for British food, Wing Hing as local neighbourhood eatery, and this Yuyu with Japanese food.
Don’t get misled by its name, this dining outlet does not only serves sushi or sashimi. It offers a full range of Japanese food such as appetizers, teriyaki and tempura. The interior of this Japanese restaurant is modern. You won’t hear the staff shouting “i-ra-sha-i-ma-se” (welcome in Japanese), however, they are still serving with courtesy.
a) Japanese Hairy Beans 日本枝豆 ($38) – 7.5/10
Poached beans with sprinkle of salt, a common snacks to go with beer.
b) From left clockwise, Sea Bream Sushi真鯛壽司 ($36 for 2pcs ), Striped Jack Sushi 深海池魚壽司 ($48 for 2 pcs), Yellow Tail Sushi 油甘魚壽司 ($36 for 2 pcs), Fatty Tuna Mix Shanghai Onion Gunkan 大蔥吞拿魚腩軍艦 ($45 for 2 pcs), Salmon Roe Gunkan 三文魚籽軍艦 ($50 for 2 pcs) – 8.5/10
All the sushi and gunkan were fresh, in particular the sea bream which tasted sweet.
c) From left to right, Crab Roe Gunkan 蟹籽軍艦 ($22 for 2 pcs), Duck Meat Mix Goose Sauce Gunkan 鴨肉鵝肝醬軍艦 ($32 for 2 pcs), Grilled Salmon Sushi 三文魚炙壽司 ($24 for 2 pcs) – 7.5/10
The grilled egg suishi in Kyoto style was different from the egg roll 玉子燒 (da-shi-ma-ki), beaten eggs are baked in a pan which makes the exterior look like a pound cake. The baked egg was not too sweet and was the highlight of the dish. The credit goes to them as I haven’t tried the other two sushi.
f) Left, Avocado Fried Soft Shell Hand Roll 牛油果炸軟殻蟹手卷 ($38), right, California Hand Roll 加洲手卷 ($28) I haven't tried any of these.
g) Deep Fried Chicken Soft Joints – 8/10
The soft joints were tender yet chewy, the flavour can further be enhanced with some Japanese spicy seasoning.
h) Sea Urchin Hand Roll 海膽手卷 ($55) – 8.5/10 The sea urchins were large and fresh.
i) Crab Meat Clear Soup 蟹肉清湯 ($45) – 8.5/10 Despite a clear soup, the unami flavour of the crab legs was strong.
j) Sea Bream Simmer Soup 鯛魚湯 ($48) – 9/10 I’m a soup person and this is really my “cup of soup”. The creamy colour was just right for a good fish soup. Smooth and milky, you can find dices of mushrooms and tofu inside.
The noodle was chilled to its required temperature.
u) Ice Cream (complimentary) – 8.5/10 The restaurant offers 7 choices of ice cream, black sesame and coconut are recommended. The former was blended with noticeable sesame seeds while young coconut could be found in the coconut scoop.

Right, so I guess this entry will be my first restaurant review writing in English, haha, I guess it will always be a good idea to explore something new and I suppose I will be able to pick up some english writing skills if I keep doing this so I forced myself to make a good start in 2013 since I am going to have 2 days off!I went to a Japanese Restaurant for lunch with a good friend of mine today at Wan Chai since my friend works in Pacific Place and it is kinda accessible for him to come over.

Right, so I guess this entry will be my first restaurant review writing in English, haha, I guess it will always be a good idea to explore something new and I suppose I will be able to pick up some english writing skills if I keep doing this so I forced myself to make a good start in 2013 since I am going to have 2 days off!
I went to a Japanese Restaurant for lunch with a good friend of mine today at Wan Chai since my friend works in Pacific Place and it is kinda accessible for him to come over. We were suppose to go to a Teppanyaki place today but I am not feeling too well so I picked a sushi place as well, a reservation has been made but they only have sushi bar table available since it is fully booked.
The restaurant was empty when I entered, and in fact the setting of the restaurant is plain I would say, we were lucky enough as our seats are not right next to the toilet . They served us with hot tea and refilled it quite often, I am kinda impress with that to be honest.
Rather than sushi they have different lunch sets available including some donburi sets or udon sets with a few pieces of sushi, price range from $85-$230 which is reasonable enough in wan chai area, it is pretty chilly today so we decided not to eat any sushi or sashimi, instead my friend ordered a teriyaki chicken donburi set and I ordered a Salmon Steak with miso set , both served with green salad and miso soup.
Green salad and miso soup came about the same time, salad comes with some Lettuce, Cucumber and cherry tomatoes served with a japanese salad dressing, the veges are kinda fresh and the taste of the dressing is not too sour for me which is pretty good too!
The miso soup for me is pretty good, I reckon it is not hot enough when they delivered it on the table, and the taste is a bit too light as a miso soup but I found spring onion,tofu and mushroom in my bowl of soup though, in terms of ingrident it is good! Oh well I can’t say it is a bad one but is just not too impressive for me.
While we are half way through finishing our salad and soup my friends teriyaki chicken donburi ($85) arrived, there were at least 6-7 slices of chicken fillets and some pan fried vegetables on top of a big rice bowl that filled with rice, those chicken pieces looks okay , at least it doesn’t look overcooked so hopefully my friend enjoyed it , he was saything that the portion is way too big though therefore when we are finished with our meal there was roughly half of it left in the bowl.
My Salmon Steak with miso set ($95) came in a bowl of rice and a plate of vege and fish, pretty much some pan fried veges and a big piece of salmon steak coated in miso sauce. The veges for me is average, they are lightly seasoned and the presentation was quite bad indeed, the fish was okay and the miso sauce is kinda tasty, but it will be much better if the salmon skin is crispy, the fish itself was juicy enough so I will rate it good but not very good! The rice was done nicely and the texture is good so I manage to finish around 2/3 of it, I have eaten the whole piece of salmon steak except the skin but I have left half of the veges on my plate though.
Overall the food is okay and the service was pretty good, at least the servers in the restaurant are really attentive which is really good because it is more or less an essential element of working in a service industry. Anyways it is really good to catch up with a good friend, and we have some interesting travel ideas in mind today, see if we will make this happen within this year
My friends and I went to have lunch at the restaurant yesterday. Although we were early, the waiter insisted that our table was allocated at 1.05pm despite our recollection that the appointment was for 1pm. We ended up waiting for 15 minutes. During this time, two staff continued arguing with us that we had a mistake on the appointment time and were not happy with our request to sit at a table for 4 (despite our requested booking. On the food, the rice with the raw seafood was hard and the grill

On the food, the rice with the raw seafood was hard and the grilled salmon was not grilled. In all, an unpleasant experience. At $110, it was not cheap and there are plenty of other places with decent food and much better service
My friend brought me to this Japanese restaurant to welcome me coming to HK. I have to say they pick a great choice! We ordered a bunch of sashimi and sushi. The sashimis are very fresh and the eel sushi are very nice.My friend also order some foie gras sushi for me to try. Oh my god! They just melt in my mouth! It was good I can just eat that for the whole night.My friend also recommended the curry pork cutlet to me. The pork is really thick and juicy. Definitely would come back again w

三文魚腩壽司新鮮肥美，差點入口即溶，而魚的份量很大，飯很少，所以口感十分豐富。
燒鰻魚亦是當晚的亮點，鰻魚亦是相當肥美，燒得剛好，很嫩，配合燒汁啖啖肉的吃，好不和味！鰻魚壽司有過之而無不及。
黑豚肉日本菇串亦令人充滿驚喜，豚肉燒得金黃，配合帶有水份和鮮味的日本菇，吃了還會覺得健康。
蟹籽沙律的青瓜條切得大小適中，跟蟹籽的份量也恰到好處，清新怡人，可以多吃兩口。
燒口舌便一般吧，比較難咬開，而右上角的醬原來是芥末，不知道的我試了一大口，很嗆鼻呢！
京都厚蛋燒是我不會推介的，好像吃蛋糕一樣，吃下去的質地十分奇怪，噱頭成份居多；還是傳統的燒玉子比較好吃。
