Flight of Whiskey
Natasha S.

I can only review for their bar. My girlfriend and I had dinner nearby and wanted to grab cocktails. We had walked by DJAPA and thought the décor was so beautiful. It reeled us right in! We sat downstairs in their patio/bar area. We shared a flight of Japanese whiskeys. I'm not crazy about whiskey but my girlfriend loves it, and thought they had a great selection. The service was good and prompt. Prices are reasonable. Loved the music, vibe and atmosphere. Upstairs is the restaurant featuring more beautiful décor and art. We never got to come back, but the menu looked amazing. Would have loved to be able to try their food. Everything we saw and smelled was amazing!

Artistic beautiful place, Brazilian Japanese food. Need I say more? Exotic, beautiful, delicious.

Curious Brew

Drinks: They have quite a selection of drinks. I tried the Curious Brew cocktail ($78) and it came with a syrup I could add in to make it sweeter. I added a little but it seemed to be sweet enough for me. Service: They were efficient with the service and the people who worked there were friendly. Decor: The decorations were quite cute with the Japanese decorations. Loved the look of the amazing selection of the bar, with many whisky options as well for whisky lovers. Overall: Nice and relaxing spot to hang out and catch up with friends. Audio level good for chatting too. I'd recommend this place!

We walked past this place on the street and thought how cool it looked inside so we decided to come in for a drink. There were maybe three other small parties inside, but other than that all the tables were empty. We were seated near the bar area on the first floor and then the waiter gave us some time to look over the menu. Two of us were interested in getting some nice whisky, but the other two were not in the mood to drink or eat anything since we had just come from dinner. When we tried to order the first time, We were told they were completely out of all the whiskeys except the rare collections. We didn't quite understand how since we saw that they had these bottles on their bar shelves... A while later the waiter came back and the two people getting whiskey ordered two glasses of one of their expensive rare whiskeys. The two of us that didn't want anything said so, and the waiter told us there is a minimum per person so we had to get something. At this point we had been sitting there a half hour and no one had said anything to us. Plus the drinks that we did order were quite expensive, and there was almost no one else at the place, so it was pretty ridiculous. We decided to leave because of this, and we probably won't be back.

Gaaaaaaah, friends, this Nipo-Brasileiro restaurant, Japanese-Brazilian fusion, is just spot on in terms of concept. The interior of the restaurant is so hip, the service is fantastic, and the food makes it worth the prices. While the beer list is short (sorry to my better half), the wine and whiskey lists make up for it. There are many cold and warm small plates to choose from and share including their signature Japanese robatayaki skewers. We started with the cabbage pineapple salad (mild but refreshing) and the snapper passion ceviche which was so tasty with strong citrus flavors and a subtle crunch. From the robataykai we tried the serloin (flavorful and tender, both to the max), the chorizo (a favorite of our server, and us as well), and the chicken thighs with pineapple (good, but nothing to write home about). We finished up with coconut rice and the grilled octopus they was served up in LITERALLY the most tasty quinoa that I have ever tasted in my life (and I've eaten a TON of quinoa). Our server warned that the coconut rice might be a bit sweet to pair, but we were more than satisfied. Although we barely had room for dessert (the number of plates was perfect), we had the tapioca with mint that was more thick and gelatinous than expected but so, so good. Just a hint of delicate mint flavor and just the right level of sweetness. I wish we had a place like this back at home because I would be here all the time.

Ok I have to say a 4-Star rating for this place seems a bit low. This is by far my favorite place so far in Tung Lee Avenue. I can say with 100% confidence that just about everything in this place is unique. Where do I start... I came here with a group of friends and just decided to walk in for a drink, not having checked it out on yelp beforehand. As soon as you walk in, your attention is caught by the brightly colored yellow, green, blue, and red-colored chairs, and the graffiti art on the walls. That alone makes this place so unique. We sat at the bar to check out the drink menu, but were instantly distracted by just about everything else. I first noticed the beautiful selection of Japanese whiskey behind the bar... about 20-30 of them... but before I got a chance to check those out, my attention went to the busy bartender making art; yes, art! Not drinks! Seriously, I first noticed him picking various dried and fresh flowers with a pair of tweezers out of a jar, which he then poured into a beautifully constructed drink... whhaaaaattt?!?! So having forgotten all about the menu, we were mesmerized by the drinks he was making. Every single one was different and one more exotic than the next. I have never seen something like this. Check out my pictures for some examples of drinks with flowers, dried fruit, and one that had panties on! And they are not just looks. They are delicious!! A bit pricey, but worth every penny. If you have the chance, sit at the bar, even for a little bit. It's a sight seeing them being made, and definitely makes sense why they're expensive. I highly recommend this place to anyone who likes designer and artistic cocktails. My one gripe is that their menu does nothing to tell you about the piece of art you're about to get. Had I not say at the bar and looked at the 10-15 drinks the bartender made before we ordered ours, we would never know what we were getting.

Great place for a fresh blend of Japanese and Brazilian food. The bento-style set offered a great variety of full flavor dishes. Got the skewer selection, coconut & seafood rice, edamame salad, baby potatoes, and cinnamon maça. Great and quick service. Definitely going again soon!

Ben K.

Definitely a very nice and quiet place to dine with your family and friends here... very roomie and trendy. Overall food here are soso.... 4.5/10 CP rating in term of food.

An absolute must eat in Hong Kong! Come for the crunch…read more Prior to Saboten, I have never actually had good tonkatsu. In my experience, all tonkatsu was flat and soggy, so it never appeared appetizing to me. But Saboten and a visit to Japan opened my eyes and my ears (that crunch!). The tonkatsu here is juicy, tender, glistening white pork surrounded by a golden brown, super crispy deep fried delicious crunchy crust! The first bite totally changed my perspective on this dish. The whole meal from beginning to end is just filled with so many textures and tastes, it's such a good, comprehensive, satisfying meal! You are seated comfortably and offered UNLIMITED cabbage salad with picked veggies. Then you get a small, cute bowl of sesame seeds and a small pestle (surikogi) to crush your sesame. Once you've had your fun crushing your sesame, you can assemble your cabbage, pickled veggies and sesame into a salad and top with the creamy sesame dressing (the best!). The unlimited/all you can eat cabbage salad is served to you throughout your meal. It pairs perfectly with your tonkatsu and lightens up your meal. You will certainly eat a ton of this, more cabbage than you've ever eaten in one sitting. And rightly so because I would enjoy it as a meal alone! There is a good variety of tonkatsu here; something to suit everyone's taste. The tonkatsu can be eaten as-is with rice, or in a curry, or topped with radish, etc. There are even combo options that have different mixes of shrimp, oysters, etc. with a smaller portion of tonkatsu. My favorite option is the tonkatsu & roll combo. You must order the roll, it's unique: a small ball of pork with filling. Sooo good. There are three options, but ham & cheese is my favorite. The tonkatsu is served on a mini tonkatsu rack so that it is crispy all around. Your table will have all the accoutrements: mustard, tonkatsu sauce, salad dressing, etc. You really won't need much else. (I don't think I've ever written tonkatsu so many times in my life, but this restaurant will make you so excited about it!) It's located in the busybusybusy-ness of Causeway Bay and while there are endless food options here, you will not be disappointed when you try Saboten. This may be the best tonkatsu outside of Japan. The restaurant is clean, roomy, comfortable. Service has always been attentive and quick; keep the cabbage coming! And as I've clearly illustrated above, the food is amazing, every time. Don't forget to get your stamp card stamped so you can come back for more crunch!

The shop closed , no more business. Put an upright stand at the entrance to inform visitors.read more

Omg the sushi here is uhmazing! thanks to my sis who's an expert in F&B I was in luck when she took…read moreme out for lunch :-) this location has just opened for 3 months after moving for their old location, also in causeway bay, of 3 years. They occupied the whole floor of 19/F of the building, like many hidden restaurants in HK where they're completely off the streets. Once you exit the elevator, you'll see the sake display case on the left. It seems like they have a good selection. We were seated at the bar. I got the 12-piece sashimi and my sis got the eel rice. Wow the seafood were super fresh and they weren't your regular selection. There was fish and way of preparation that I never heard of. Also everything is seasoned already according to the chef's wish so you won't find soy sauce on the table, which you know is a legit Japanese sushi restaurant! However there's extra fresh wasabi for you if you so incline to eat it plain like me... for details of fish, check out the pics! The eel rice was their signature dish here. It has to be eaten right away so the skin won't turn soggy. It's crispy with the right amount of seasoning and the rice was cooked perfectly! Even the house sake was delicious. Given the full amazing experience with high-end sashimi quality plus a few fish ordered a la carte, the price was within reason. Our lunch ended being HKD 1100 which is about USD 140 including mandatory 10% service charge and no tax, so roughly $70 per person. My lunch set actually cost about $50 but that was almost like an omakase by itself! The price was comparable to sushi ota in San Diego, but the quality is much much much better! Great experience and will take my hubby there next time!

One of the best Japanese restaurants in town - highly recommended! Great atmosphere, food quality…read moreand service.

3.5 Stars Just…read morearound the corner from Via Tokyo, a quiet cul-de-sac awaits with hidden gem eateries like cafes, dessert shops and now a Japanese yakitori bar comically named Bilibala. Why is the name comical? Well "bilibala" is supposedly what loud chatters sound like in Cantonese and thus the name is aptly suited then for a bar serving drinks and yakitori which is perfect for a night out chit chatting with friends. Some of the things we tried were: Cold Japanese Tomato with Black Truffle ($58) - the black truffle was quite aromatic while the sweet and fresh tomatoes made for a very refreshing snack. Japanese Fish Ball with Wasabi ($48) - I was pleasantly surprised by this unique combination as the chewy fish balls went perfectly with the spicy wasabi. Tamagoyaki ($58) - the tamagoyaki was well executed with the many soft layers of sweet egg. Lychee with Bacon ($32) - whoever thought of this combination of lychee with bacon is pure genius. The sweetness of the lychee balanced the saltiness of the meat perfectly. Just be careful when eating this as the lychee may still be quite hot and may burn your mouth. Ox Tongue ($40) - the ox tongue was a bit average as the tongue could be thicker and bouncier in texture but the array of sauces for the yakitori were a nice touch. Fresh Eel ($88) - Loved the crispiness of the skin and the tenderness of the eel! Tsukune ($48) - the ever classic minced chicken meatball was delicious to eat as bits of chewy cartilage had been incorporated into the meatball so it was crunchy-licious! Grilled Rice Roll ($38 each) - in 3 flavors: cod fish roe, pickled plum, and bonito flakes. The rice rolls were quite crunchy to eat while I especially liked the spiciness of the cod fish roe and the tartness of the pickled plum. Japanese Mochi with Cheese ($28) - finally we ended the night perfectly with these scrumptiously soft and chewy mochi filled with melting cheese that were just heavenly to eat. Verdict - the affordable price tags and great quality of food at Bilibala make it a great spot for happy hour with friends to eat and drink the night away.

Last night was a spectacular fusion of tastes and artfully presented Japanese Tapas…read more The Kirin Ichiban was ice cold and the service was excellent. I'll definitely be back next time in HK. Order the grilled black cod and enjoy the surprise.

I always walk by this location and have been wanting to try it. The menu looked attractive and…read moreseafood options appeared mouthwatering fresh. The hostess stand was empty during prime lunch hour and I had to flag staff down to be seated. Once seated, the menus were dropped off and we flipped through several pages showcasing a wide variety of Japanese cuisine including soups, salads, sushi, sashimi, katsu, rice dishes, noodles, amd tempura. There were also set menus where soup, salad, + a small side accompanied the main course. I opted for the chirashi sashimi gozen which was filled with a nice variety of raw fish including uni, amaebi, + ikura. The taste was quite fresh but the bowl it came in was not packed with rice...actually packed pretty loosely and the depth of the bowl was deceptive. The chawanmushi it came with was very good though, as the savory steamed egg pudding was smooth and fragrant. My friends ordered a lunch set menu item and the omelet over rice with wagyu beef. They didn't think the price was worth the amount of food they got and they both agreed that there are better options. To be honest, I had higher expectations from this restaurant. The service during our meal was also spotty and inconsistent, as we did not have a primary server bt rather many. We are not in a hurry to come back.

Really really good Japanese restaurant. Torn between 4/5 stars. The place is small but I went at 9…read morepm on a week night so I was able to secure a spot. Instead of the omakase, we ordered a bunch of things from the menu and also some specials. Their appetizers and sweet apéritif were really yummy. So were the tempuras that we randomly chose piece by piece. Sashimi was super fresh and tasty, and service was very attentive. Overall delicious but at that price point (think 400-500 cad) I'm don't think the value was there to give it a 5 star.
