Causeway Bay has the largest number of restaurants that open at a rapid rate. There is always so much to choose from. As I live near by, I always try something new for lunch from time to time. On this day, I decided to try out a new sushi restaurant called Sushi Kou. Located in a building called Aura on Pennington (which happens to have a lot of other restaurants), the restaurant isn't very big. There are a few tables but majority of the seating is facing the rather large central sushi bar. Of
During lunch time, they have a lunch set menu. Menu is in English and Japanese. All sets come with a salad, chawanmushi, udon, soup and dessert.
As I had a craving for sushi, I ordered the 9 piece sushi plus cut roll omakase set for $328.
The meal started off with a salad. Simple with crunchy greens and a light Japanese style Italian dressing with a slight yuzu taste.
Then the chef presented me with their pickles. Or more like a generous plate of pickled ginger. Actually, these were not sliced thinly like most places but diced into chunks. The ginger taste was not too strong which I liked but it was still present.
And then the sushi began! The rice was a good consistency. The fish was fresh.
This was a highlight. Diced sweet shrimp with a bit of uni with a bit of shiso. A great combination of textures and taste! The sweetness of the shrimp along with the gooey texture was wonderful. Combine that with the sharp uni taste, this was definitely a favorite.
We paused for chawanmushi. The egg custard was smooth and savory. I found some fish meat inside as well.
Then the sushi continued.
Another highlight was this one. Soy sauce marinated tuna. It wasn't too salty to cover the taste of the tuna. But still enough to give it that extra level.
I also adored this. Tamagoyaki two ways. On the left was with truffle which was ok. I wasn't as blown away by that. The one on the right was a sweet version and looked like a castella cake as it was caramelized on the top. Combined together, it was a balance of sweet and savory. Two extreme egg combinations.
The maki roll was a nice finish to the meal.
The set also included a mini udon (and it is very mini). The noodles were smooth and chewy. The broth had a light taste.
The set also came with a miso soup that was packed with flavor. I also found a clam as well.
The dessert was ice cream. That day it was either pumpkin or cheese. I chose cheese and I didn't regret. It was like eating frozen cheesecake.
A great new addition to the many sushi restaurants in Causeway Bay. Especially during lunch time as competition is stiff. Staff was courteous and inviting. Would definitely come again and perhaps try out the 12 piece omakase set or one of their other meals sets.
