Went here for dinner with a few friends. They didn't honor our reservation properly and we didn't get seated (after a few complaints) until 20 mins later. Plus, the problem was that there wasn't a designated greeter/conceirge, so multiple waitresses running around and telling us to wait. And they didn't give us the reason why there was a delay (found out later that we were assigned a room, and the company inside didn't finish). So started off bad. Food: For 4 ppl, we ordered: 2 Chef Rec S
Food: For 4 ppl, we ordered: 2 Chef Rec Sushi sets; 1 Chef Rec Sashimi set; 1 Chef Rec mixed tempura set; Fried fish bone chips; Few Asahi beers.
Sushi & Sashimi: Very very fresh and tasty, especially the raw stuff (tuna, scallop, shrimp, sea urchin, squid etc..). Served it very authentically with right temperature and little chef's amount of wasabi under the sushi fish. Highly recommend, believe for high quality sushi the value was acceptable.
Tempura: Pass. Was just decent, nothing special. Overpriced as well since it wasn't anything outstanding.
Fried fish bone chips: Was initially guarded against eating bones...but turned out very tasty - like fish chips, its actually the spine bone, not the little thinner bones. Served well as an appetizer with the beer.
Free stuff: They gave us a good amount of complimentary stuff. First each person got 2 mini appetizers - 2 slices of smoked duck with onions and a mix of mushrooms, slightly buttered. Super delish as cold appetizers, I ate the little bowls clean. Also, we each got a small cup/shot of sparkling peach sake - soo good! It tasted like those Chinese flower candy, but in a sparkling form. Also, at the end of the meal we each had a choice of ice cream (green tea, red bean, sesame, strawberry), which was nice as well.
Service: Besides the poor reservation management, the actual service during the dining was better and more attentive. Hot towels were given pre and post meal.
Decor: Restaurant actually spans floor 10 and 11 of Henry House. Limited seating, but I would recommend sitting by the bar for a more authentic experience. Bar seating was a half oval shaped, so its more intimate and appealing overall.
Sizing it up: Very very fresh sushi sashimi, but of course at a price. We spent $2000, so average $500 a person, but we did leave with full tummies and each had an Asahi beer, and had a good share of complimentary extras. So I'd recommend this joint for a more special occasion or if you have a very intense Tsukiji Market sushi craving. Make a reservation!!
