I had the chicken with peas and cashews, my wife had the spicy mustard chicken and the kids split a huge plate of fried rice. There wasn't anything left when we got up from the table.

I would have to come a couple of times to give this one five stars, but on a first visit I was very happy. I had pork and veg steamed dumplings for entree, which came out with a variety of side dishes (pickled vegetables and kimchi) which complemented well. For main I had Dolsot Bibimbap with beef added. This was a collection of vegetables, mushroom and beef served over rice with a fried egg on top, in a hot stone bowl (picture added). So much food, I couldn't finish it, and you add the spice to your liking (it's not hot unless you add the chilli sauce). I embarrassed myself with the chop sticks though, I'd recommend a fork. The food came out so quickly and the staff were very polite and welcoming. I will come back here again.

It's a crazy setting this place is, one part Japanese, one part Korean with a splash of Thai minus the dillution of the cuisine's personalities. Bento box of goodies for Mr. Michael, Unagi roll for Bam C., some more sushi for Veena J., and some katsu chicken for myself, washed down with some awesome "hundred years" rice wine. Yea, it's not really a hundred years old...but it's aged well and satisfies like cold water to a traveler from the desert. "You guys ready?" asked Michael. "Sure, where we going first?" I respond. "(King) O'Malley's across the way" says Veena... Let's go, let's go!!!

The menu is quite extensive so ask your server if you get overwhelmed. The hot and sour soup was quite yummy and was enough for two small servings.

The dumplings were freshly prepared with good ingredients and excellent seasoning. Recommended.

There is a lovely modern feel as you enter - the walls are in birch and moveable so it can so aptly cater for variances in group sizes. Light and 'airy' there is a overall feel of being in a low key and relaxed envoirnment where fine food matters will occur. And they do, and there are some standouts - the Pork Belly sewers are in a delightful sauce; the char grilled cold eggplant in sesame sauce is tasty and from the mains the Pork Spare Rib in black pepper balsamic soy was good as was the Lamb cutlet with spicy wasabi vinaigrette.....some lovely dishes to choose from.... And if you like Sake there are plenty to pick from...at least 20, and yes the wine list is good too. This place is relatively new so I can only imagine what it will be like as it 'matures'.

Fully booked of course, but a HK student waiter was smart to suggest if we were happy to eat in the bar area sitting on high stools. We did not mind at all as the bar area was relatively quiet with a street view. The smart waiter suggested the tasting plate menu at $65 each min 2 people which was perfect for me and my wife. Each plate was served , nicely cooked and explained to us what it was. The Japanese style dessert as recommended, Mucha ice cream, torfu with syrup was a surprise to end the meal. It was a dining experience. The Japanese beer list was awesome , the two we chose were delicious and so different from the Australian beers. Would come back again to try other dishes. Very reasonably prized . Good value.
