Tucked away up a flight of steps in a nondescript commercial building on Lockhart Road, the only sign is a tiny street-level black and white sign with "石山". I was first brought here by a friend - would never have found it otherwise! If you want authentic Japanese food, this is a good place to come.

If you want authentic Japanese food, this is a good place to come. The restaurant is small and plainly decorated: stepping through the door, it's like you are transported to Japan! Its clientele is mostly Japanese, and the default menu is also Japanese. There is no English menu, but they do have an abridged Chinese menu. However, if you can't read Japanese it's better to bring a friend so that you can order from the whole menu, including the daily/seasonal specials on the wall. (The waitresses can speak Japanese and Cantonese.)
Recommended dishes include:
- house tofu (cold tofu in a dashi sauce)
- yakitori (grilled chicken skewer)
- gyudan shioyaki (grilled salted ox tongue skewer)
- stir-fried udon (it comes with a mix of veggies and the okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise. It's so umami and delicious -- like eating okonomiyaki but without the thick heaviness of the batter (so you can eat more of it!)
- sukiyaki, the beef tofu hotpot, both are very good (for the latter, might be a bit salty so order rice to go with it)
- did not try the sashimi or tempura, but they looked very good. Maybe next time!
This is definitely a hidden gem of Causeway Bay, and a place to take your foodie friends if you want to impress them with your knowledge of this very authentic restaurant!
