Chose this place for lunch with my friend because 1) really wanted to check out the nice harbor view; and 2) heard that the food here was good for value. However, it really didn't turn out that great!I went to the restaurant and arrived there first. When I was on the lift heading up to the 9/F. The lift was suddenly stalled on 7/F. It was so scary. We were kind of trapped on the lift on 7/F for around 3-5 minutes and eventually had to press the security's button to go up again. The lift ju
I went to the restaurant and arrived there first. When I was on the lift heading up to the 9/F. The lift was suddenly stalled on 7/F. It was so scary. We were kind of trapped on the lift on 7/F for around 3-5 minutes and eventually had to press the security's button to go up again. The lift just refused to move until we pressed the security button.
Anyway, despite that little fright of getting trapped in the elevator, I managed to get into the restaurant. I was rather early and got a harborview seat. Seriously, the view is amazing, but it was far too hot and too much sunshine. So I moved to a booth seat inside instead, which was very cozy.
My friend then arrived and we ordered the following dishes:
I went for the cod fish set lunch ($108): the cod fish was very nice, but slightly too oily. The rice was not delicate at all and they gave us far too much rice. The set lunch looked pretty empty. The fish soup tasted funny when drinking it at the very end.
she went for the 豚肉 set lunch ($88): my friend's set lunch was of a big portion. They gave her lots of pork and again she complained that the rice wasn't delicate enough and not very refined. Far too much rice and the fish tasted a bit fishy when she had it at the very end.
as my friend skipped breakfast, she also ordered the tomato skewers. They were so nice!!!! The tomatoes were wrapped around some kind of pork and it tasted good.
finally the soft shell crab sushi was disappointing! ($68) There were 4 pieces of sushi and each sushi was very big, in fact, super large, compared to the others I had before. Even though the crabs smelt very nice, the sushi didn't taste that great at all. I just managed to have one as it was disappointingly unrefined. The crab was bland and had no taste at all. There was no sauce around it and the rice again didn't mix in well with the crabs. All in all, a very disappointing dish. Plus, since the sushi was far too big, whenever we had one bite, the rest will fall apart into bits and pieces.
last but not least, there was the dessert. My set had this chocolate mousse, but I gave it to my friend. My friend complimented on the mousse. She said it was extremely smooth, even softer than soft chocolate ice-cream! However, the spoon was far too badly organized and they didn't even care to give us a round spoon, which made it hard to dig in at the very end.
we also paid $1 just to get an all-you-can-eat salad bowl. But again the selections were limited and the salad bar was simply mediocre. Nothing special at all.
Anyway, service was not the best, but still satisfactory. Seriously, they really need to improve on their quality of sushi as it's simply very disappointing. Large, but not good in taste. Prices are not low either. The set lunch was good, but not the best. Anyway, with such a nice harborview, this restaurant could be doing much much better with the food taste. But it is not.
