Umegaoka Sushi No Midori Souhonten is a chain of sushi restaurants in Japan known for its low cost yet value for money meals. But boyfriend told me it was a lot more expensive here and he heard it wasn't as good.Well ... as I have long realized, restaurants in Hong Kong are more expensive than their counterparts in other parts of the world and the quality is never as good. With extreme low expectations and as I was by myself, I decided to just give it a try and see for myself.Located in Mong Kok
Well ... as I have long realized, restaurants in Hong Kong are more expensive than their counterparts in other parts of the world and the quality is never as good. With extreme low expectations and as I was by myself, I decided to just give it a try and see for myself.
Located in Mong Kok, the restaurant was fairly quiet for lunch time. Seating was spacious.
They had a lunch set menu. Menu is in English, Japanese and Chinese. Ordering is done by scanning the QR code that is in English and Chinese.
Sets include a chawanmushi and miso soup. The chawanmushi was ok. There was a slice of shitake mushroom and some chicken meat. The miso soup was alright and just your typical miso soup.
I ordered the chirashi rice bowl and udon set ($108). The udon was a decent portion and not over cooked.. The soup was not too salty and rich in taste.
For the rice bowl, you have three choices. I chose the Crab and Scallop. Though the bowl was small, they didn't skimp on the toppings. Lots of crab meat and there was a fairly fresh scallop sashimi with some salmon roe on top. The rice was seasoned with sushi vinegar as well.
Digging inside, the middle portion had pieces of chopped tamagoyaki. I didn't expect that as all the places I've had chirashi it's just rice with the topping and nothing else.
Over all, the food was not as bad as people say. Is it more expensive that Japan? Yes. But for Hong Kong, it's fairly reasonable and not that expensive for Japanese. Service is both good and bad. The person at the front was a bit nonchalent and bored. But the woman who brought me my meal was wonderfully nice and constantly refilled my tea. Nonstop. I guess some staff care and some ... don't. I'd be back.
