Naked is pretty high up on the mid-levels escalator. I guess one of the reasons why it was pretty empty during lunch hour. The decor inside the restaurant also hinted that it’s more suitable for dinner as all walls where painted black and servers uniforms were also black. Only thing that could be considered bright or cheerful were the servers there.They have a pretty focused lunch menu, 7 mains to choose from. For starters we had quinoa salad and scallop miso soup.

They have a pretty focused lunch menu, 7 mains to choose from. For starters we had quinoa salad and scallop miso soup. Soup was standard; salad was fresh – crunchy veg with goji berries to give it the Asian flare and lots of quinoa to give texture. Unfortunately they used too much sesame dressing. It was too salty to eat the last few pieces of lettuce as they were soaked in the pool of dressing.
For mains, we had Mount Fuji and Naked Sashimi Donburi. Mount Fuji was prawn tempura sushi roll topped with a bed scallop sashimi and quinoa coated with mayo dressed in their “lava sauce” (hot sauce). Supposedly the more creative dish in the menu. I think the lunch chef forgot to put the kombu flakes and seaweed flakes as listed in the menu - we didn’t see them when the dish arrived. They probably wouldn’t have an impact on the taste anyway, only there for aesthetic reasons. The tempura prawn was soggy, probably made way in advance so they could be efficient with the lunch ‘crowd’. The roll was wrapped very loosely and fell apart as soon as your chopsticks touched it. The scallop and quinoa topping saved the otherwise very bland dish, yet you can tell the scallops were not fresh.
Naked Sashimi Donburi was rather disappointing. You think they would put more effort in the dish if they put their name on it, but no. Uni was very appallingly pungent (you know, the unique smell/taste of stale uni). They gave us very generous portions of yellowtail tuna and big eye tail tuna but both lacks personality. Quinoa was very chewy and personally I didn’t think it went well with the rest of the ingredients. Tried too hard to be a fusion dish, but failed.
The sets came with tea or coffee. Two meals came to $271, we couldn't finish the donburi. Price was okay but maybe I’m not a big fan of wannabe fusion food, maybe their true potential is only realised in their dinner menu, I wouldn't bother walking so high up for lunch at Naked.
