We decided to order their 12-piece sushi set at $420+10%. The price set was somewhere in the middle between the top sushi bars and the cheaper ones in Central I must say. 

Pickled gingers

Very soon we were welcomed by some pickled gingers. I had to admit that they were pretty bad. They were all well-prepared in advance and they were so thick cut and not particularly yummy. In fact I found them a bit too spicy. Yet I had to eat one piece in between the sushi to clear my mouth to try the next piece. Really disappointing indeed although they were not supposed to be the focus of the meal.

The salad, which was included in the set, was quite fresh and there were quite a lot of veggies. The salad dressing was tasty but it was actually just standard.

The steamed egg, which was also included in the set, looked pretty appealing. There were quite a lot of ingredients and the egg was indeed smooth. The taste was ok with the right degree of saltiness.

The first sushi was 关伊左目 with fresh seaweed on top. The chef introduced to us that the texture was a bit chewy. It was the first time that we heard about and tried this sushi. I actually tried to search for more information on the website about this sashimi but couldn't find much. It was really a bit chewy although I couldn't recall much about the taste afterwards except for the seaweed. The sushi rice was well seasoned although there could have been slightly more wasabi.

深海池鱼 almost always appeared as one of the first few sushis of such sushi set. It was fresh indeed but was like other similar sushi out there. No surprise.

I forgot to take a photo of the 3rd sushi which was 昆布渍左口鱼. Please excuse me for being unable to recall much about the taste without a photo

The 4th sushi was 𫚕鱼 which was quite fatty and was pleasing to the tongue! I recalled this one had slightly more wasabi than the previous sushi although I didn't know why.

大沟贝 with lime and yuzu juices had a very interesting texture as it was crispy but not as crispy as those other shells you normally got. It was really refreshing with the lime and yuzu juices added.

I found this one taste a bit like red tuna although my lunch partner didn't agree. It was not particularly pleasing.

Then we waited for a long long time before our next sushi arrived because the chef was very busy preparing the omakase sets for others. It was quite pleasant watching the chef prepare food but unfortunately we still had to work after lunch! 明太子甜虾 had the typical sticky prawn sashimi texture which I really liked. The 明太子 was ok although I don't like it normally as it is usually too salty. Having said that, I think the quality of the prawn could have been much better, especially at this price.

鳕鱼干 with salad dressing was served to us for free maybe as an apology for having kept us waiting. It was really appreciated. The 鳕鱼干 was very crispy and went well with the salad dressing. Although again we had to wait for quite a long while before our next sushi was served.

Starting from this sushi, the sushi rice started to fall apart when I tried to take it from the sushi plate to my own plate using chopsticks. I suspected that it was all because the chef was in a rush.

It was not fatty nor salty so I wondered why they served this in such an order? It was a bit too plain to me  actually. By that time I had already asked for faster serving of sushi because we had to go soon so all the remaining sushi sort of rushed in. The chef did apologize to us.

Toro was good as always but it was not the fattiest of all.

This one really melted in my mouth and it was so fatty!

The uni was quite fresh. For some reason, it was better when eaten with the whole thing in my mouth compared with just trying 1 slice of uni from the top.

We had a choice of either miso soup or udon and we both went for the udon. The udon was a bit disappointing given the class of such a sushi restaurant because they could have been much smoother. The soup was ok as it tasted quite good.

We had a choice of coffee or ice-cream and of course we went for the ice-cream. The quality of ice-cream was quite good. 

Although my stomach was quite big, I did feel full after finishing everything from the set. 

Overall, I would say the quality of the sushi was ok although more special sushi could have been served given the price. Moreover, I was really a bit disappointed by the sushi rice towards the end of the meal. At such a price, I think I would rather top up a little bit to go to those better sushi bars in the same district.
