My friends asked me to go to this Free Flow Sake Night in a relatively new Japanese restaurant in Wan Chai so I joined them. The set dinner was like a marathon. There were so many dishes. I had low expectation on set dinners normally but after the meal, I had this rare satisfaction of feeling complete both stomach-wise and soul-wise. The decor of the place was just right - classy in a contemporarily comfortable way. Small tables were arranged in zones with good privacy. Private rooms were
The food... gosh!!!::::::
1) First it was a nicely marinated pumpkin with smoked duck breast. To me, the pumpkin was more impressive. Not saying that the duck breast was bad, but the pumpkin was marinated to perfection. I should have asked them what crazily yummy sauce they had used.
2) Assorted sashimi was above average. Fresh by HK standard. Don't compare to Tsukiji of course! But I was happy.
3) Now this beef roll with tofu inside was interesting. The smooth tofu made the entire thing very smooth. Smart. The fish was very Japanese too. I am not really that much of a Japanese fish expert, but it did taste very fresh and very Jap. Nicely done.
4) Fois Gras. I wish it were less oily, but gosh, can a fois gras be non-oily and non-fatty? HAHA! Very tender.
5) The minced tuna sushi gave us a nice feel inside the mouth. I've forgotten how the perch tasted though.
6) Oh, this combo was a killer. The pork cutlet with pork cutlet sauce and the battered fish in a very light kind of tartar sauce created a nice contrast. Strong vs light.
7) I was pretty full by now. The wagyu beef was from Australia I heard. I still ate it all though!
8) Fried rice - not their fault. Personally I like fried rice to be wet, but all the restaurants make it pretty dry. So probably my only complaint during the entire evening but it's completely my personal preference.
9) Yuzi Sorbet - can't believe they ended this incredible meal by serving my favorite flavor of sorbet. I was in heaven by now!
Overall, an impressive presentation of food, a very comfy environment and a very enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely come back, be it for casual dining with friends, for business dinners or for a romantic purpose. A 9/10 by me.
P.S. The set dinner was priced at $398 with free flow sake, but many other great choices of different price ranges available on the menu.
