My visit to Harlan's new sushi restaurant was without a doubt with some degree with expectations. After all chef Harlan does carry a high reputation and have many years of experience. However, I was deeply disappointed.I myself ordered the sushi set which came with roughly 10 pieces of sushi and 4 pieces of rolls. It was not bad but some that I could match at a To To Yo sushi and the selection of fish was not too exciting at all. The sushi rice was well prepared. Flavor was right and not to
I myself ordered the sushi set which came with roughly 10 pieces of sushi and 4 pieces of rolls. It was not bad but some that I could match at a To To Yo sushi and the selection of fish was not too exciting at all. The sushi rice was well prepared. Flavor was right and not too over powering and the sushi rice fell apart as nicely as it should in a fine dining sushi restaurant.
The sashimi set was needless to say the same as the sushi set... Boring. The fish was not extremely fresh but to be fair it was decent but perhaps the boring selection of sashimi just bored me out.
The pork cutlet was nice but nothing out of the ordinary. I did not have the pork cutlet but I didn't hear any praises from my guest as well.
One if my guests had the grilled cod. While they praised it the dish arrived with a fly lounging around it. Definitely not something I'd expect from a restaurant of this calibre.
The only praise I heard from my visit was the lobster set. It looked well cooked and well plated. And from my guest's feedback it was cooked perfectly.
One thing about this restaurant I should praise is the choice of plates and utensils. Very different and looks great with the food.
The other thing I was not too happy with was the service. Staff looks unprepared and not suitable for a restaurant of this calibre. The lunches go for about 200-600HKD. I'd assume most customers expected service that is equivalent to a four star hotel. But instead you get staff that is constantly chatting to one another and often there isn't enough staff on the floor. At one moment, our wait staff came over to collect our dishes. We were a party of 7, and had a table for 8. As he collected our dishes he then asked "is the other guest gonna be coming?" My guests and I were kind of surprised for we booked for seven and we were already done with lunch so why would there be an 8th guest and what have you such a stupid idea? Overall there are many other choices one could choose before sushi to and if improvements are not made, it's most likely I will not be returning.
