Originally wanted to eat at Seasons but it was closed for the for a private party, so I came here for lunch.Gonpachi Tokyo, famous for being the setting for Quentin Taratino's bloody satire of Asian kung fu movies, Kill Bill, has a branch in Hong Kong. Entering the restaurant, I could imagine the characters from the film beating each other up in this setting as you enter the restaurant down a long dark corridor and end with a circular bright area with private Japanese styled tatami seating area
Gonpachi Tokyo, famous for being the setting for Quentin Taratino's bloody satire of Asian kung fu movies, Kill Bill, has a branch in Hong Kong. Entering the restaurant, I could imagine the characters from the film beating each other up in this setting as you enter the restaurant down a long dark corridor and end with a circular bright area with private Japanese styled tatami seating areas in the outer circle. There was a huge bar on one end.
Lunch menu was the usual Japanese fair with a highlight on a limited summer Kumamoto event. I decided on the okonomyiki as I love it and have yet to find a place that I can DIY and the good nonDIY are closed.
I was given a yuzi soda which I am addicted to everything yuzi. I loved this. Nice, refreshing. Lots of yuzi.
Service was amazing. Napkin was opened and placed on my lap. Food came out one by one after I was finished and not all thrown out at me all at once. This is what fine dining should be...take note CIAK!
Salad was lightly dressed greens with a few slices of white fish capaccio. Quite a decent portion size as well.
Appetizer was a mix of spinach, mushrooms and a bland miso paste. It was actually quite good after having the tart salad.
Miso soup was ok. Nothing to rave about. Had a few slices of pork in it.
Octopus okonomyiki was ok. Portion was huge. I think enough to share. Ratio of cabbage to flour was perfect. Octopus was tender. The whole thing was sliced in small squares so I could easily pick it up with my chopsticks without tearing away at it. Only thing was the okonomyiki wasn't crispy enough. I was also given at least 6 slices of pickles which I didn't bother to photograph because it's pickles.
Dessert I need to rave about. It was amazingly good! Custard cake that wasn't overly sweet. Had a serving of azuki, also not overly sweet.This was wonderful.
Would return again on a day I wanted a nice relaxing Japanese meal.
