One major problem with being a tourist in Hong Kong is going to tourist areas - if it's not standing in an overcrowded space with someone trying to sell you something you don't want, it's the overpriced food, doing the ‘authentic' Dai Pai Dong experience is more expensive than eating at a proper restaurant outside these haunts.The best bit of advice I can give any tourist is getting out of these areas, into a residential area, brush up on your Cantonese numbers and manners and find a place to ea
The best bit of advice I can give any tourist is getting out of these areas, into a residential area, brush up on your Cantonese numbers and manners and find a place to eat good food geared to locals.
However, I digress. In around the market precinct I had to get my family of 6 fed, quick smart. As I have mentioned, this presents challenges in finding places to eat. Even the chain restaurants are sometimes a gamble. We're happy sitting at a 4 person table, but even that may not be available in a busy period.
So when we looked at this little tiny place, we thought 'nope' but in fact they accommodated us with grace and good service. A big tick for service.
Another big tick was for value. We rolled out of there eating more than we probably should have, thanks to a case of 'big eyes, little belly'. I reckon paying $5 for fresh salmon boat sushi is a bargain and the Unagi is excellent value as well. The mandatory plates of gyoza and I'm happy too.
There's only a slight downer - in Australia, all sushi is offered with soy, wasabi and picked ginger. Unfortunately, the ginger wasn't there. Not a show stopper, but it would be a little extra for the customer. I would have been happy to pay for it.
Honestly, it isn't high end sushi. You'll have better and pay huge amounts for the privilege. You'll likely have worse and pay way more than you should for that dubious privilege. Ninoen is good, honest sushi at a very good value price in an area known for fleecing tourists. That gets it a big thumbs up from me. Service gets another thumbs up from me. Beer is 7-Eleven prices, not restaurant markup, another thumbs up.
