I've been trying out all the places in Midtown recently for lunch. On this day, I tried Sushi-to. Japanese by Harlan Goldstein.I arrived and was promptly given a table.

I arrived and was promptly given a table. Decor of the restaurant was a light beige and clean minimalist with a fantastic view of Victoria Harbor below. Service was attentive. Lunch sets ranged from $200 - 600. With prices like this, I expected quite a bit.
It was hot outside and I felt like cold noodles so chose cold udon with wagyu beef and an onsen egg. Set included appetizer, chawanmushi, salad, miso soup and ice cream. I was not given tea until I asked for it. I think they were hoping I'd order something from the drinks menu as they offered me that first.
Appetizer was actually pickles and a slice of steamed corn on the cob. Corn was extemely sweet, though hard to eat in a civilized manner.
Salad was ok. Greens were fresh. Dressing was nice.
Chawanmushi was a disappointment. It was a bit bland and over steamed.
Miso soup was nothing to write home about. It was watered down miso. Something I would find in low end Japanese restaurants.
After munching away disappointed, I was served something at least decent. Cold udon with wagyu and onsen egg. The udon was chewy and smooth. The dashi soup was perfectly sweet. The wagyu melted in my mouth. Mixed with the onsen egg, it was just right. Portion was huge and easily shareable.
Dessert was a choice of ice cream: vanilla, green tea or tofu. I chose tofu. It was sweet like soymilk.
I paid $300 for lunch. Quality was ok but not spectacular. As Causeway Bay is full of Japanese restaurants with many really good high end ones, Sushi-to doesn't measure up to those places in terms of quality. Price is high and can't compete with other high end Japanese in Causeway Bay who do lunch sets at a far more reasonable price range of around $200.
Sushi-to was a disappointment. I won't return.
