Continuing this newfound fascination with the sushi counter, we booked seats at Sushi Hiro for Saturday lunch. We were lucky that they still had seats, so we took the 12pm opening, promising to leave within an hour.Feeling like splurging a little, I got the 16 piece sushi set for HK$250, and my gf had the sashimi rice for HK$120, which was a real steal. The meals come with appetizers, miso soup, fruit and coffee/tea.The ambiance was more reminiscent of a sushi bar in Tokyo than Sushi Imamura wit
Feeling like splurging a little, I got the 16 piece sushi set for HK$250, and my gf had the sashimi rice for HK$120, which was a real steal. The meals come with appetizers, miso soup, fruit and coffee/tea.
The ambiance was more reminiscent of a sushi bar in Tokyo than Sushi Imamura with no visual impediments blocking the customer from seeing the chef at work. Sitting down, it was eye level, which made us able to appreciate what what the sushi chefs were doing. We sat right in front of the chef working exclusively on gunkan.
With the 16 piece set, I could choose what I wanted from a list. There’s the cheaper 9 piece set which is predetermined by the chef at HK$120, which makes it less flexible than Imamura, which allows the customer to choose for that price. For the set, we choose 2 pieces each of chu-toro, tuna, salmon and 深海池魚, as well as single orders of sweet prawn, mini squid, salmon roe, scallop, sea eel and a few other fish I can’t name.
It came beautifully presented. I'm not a fan of a lot wasabi so I asked the chef for less. He suggested that he leave it out so I had the option of adding the amount I liked.
The chu-toro was unforgettable, easily the best piece of fish I’ve had this year. It felt like the fish melted in my mouth. The salmon, tuna and sea eel were better than the ones I've had at Imamura for lunch. The 深海池魚 was good but not spectacular. There was a piece of white fish I didn’t care much about, it was too sinewy and chewy.
My gf's set was really value for money especially considering the quantity. Her bento was seperated into two: the sashimi rice and a side of sashmi. Her sashimi rice came with salmon roe, uni (sea urchin) and mushrooms. The side of sashimi had scallops, cutterfish, tamago and a few other fish. I had a few pieces, and while it wasn’t as fresh as the sushi I had, it was still good.
