I've eaten a lot of poki at this point, so this place was a bit of a let down for seafood when HK…read moreis so close to the sea. Maybe it's because I came right before closing, but a few things happened: - I ordered a bowl that was supposed to be tuna, but received a salmon poki bowl after waiting 5-10 minutes. They offered to replace it. I waited another 5 minutes. -the tuna bowl was missing the additional seaweed salad. I had to ask for it again. I waited another 2-4 minutes. -the tuna bowl wasn't that fresh, which was disappointing given how close we are to the sea and seafood markets.

Poke bowl in central!? I miss California poke bowl. If you…read morehave ever been to Cali to try their poke bowl, I would say theirs have the best. Anyways, back to pololi review: I used Google map to get here, so it's pretty easily and fairly accurate. Cute little restaurant that you can't miss :) Once you are inside, you will realized the a/c is not strong enough, which got me a little worried cause they are selling raw food. $90hkd for a bowl with two protein options, not including any sides. I was hoping their style could be more like California where you can pick any sides for free and at least have 10 sides for you to choose from. I like the flavor that they've created, especially avo-mayo. I think the Mayo actually helps breakdown the tenderness of the fish, so it's not as chewy as the other favor tunas. And sadly, they only have one type of flavor for salmon :( Overall this bowl got me full and didn't get me sick good flavor, clean, decent price. 4 stars

I'm a fan of the original location and it's literally outlasted many of its competitors with its…read moresimple straight forward menu. The location here well, they've tried to expand their concept into three different categories, but really it's two and half. The original concept of poke with pre-made sauces and garnishes are there and they've added a 'BYO' poke concept which I find strange; I've been to some of their competitors and I actually DIDN'T like the lack of premade flavor combinations. The other thing I liked was their musubis, again simple options: egg or egg and spam pre-made and ready to eat in a nice, tightly wound package. I've had the mususbis here and honestly I prefer the premade ones. The freshly made ones turn into a loose mess that actually makes it less enjoyable. The only real additions would be the Hawaiian style BBQ and their tiki bar but I generally don't want anything other than poke so the location in Central is better for me.

Great atmosphere with helpful, knowledgeable staff. Pololi offers excellent customer service and as…read morea poke place, it's definitely a fine place for someone to have their first poke bowl, seeing as staff offer great advice with regards to how someone could build their own poke, while offering pre-made bowls for the truly clueless. That being said, I do have a two critiques: 1. Why oh why is the rice hot? It messes with the flavours and textures that you get from your poke bowl. 2. Sauces are great, but they really could give us a little more- with some bites, I tasted the rice more than anything (though admittedly, that probably also has to do with the fact that the rice was hot). The bomb mush is were great, with their al dente (?) rice complementing the crunch of the chicken nicely. The avocado fries were great- literally tempura avocado, served with a tasty chipotle mayo. I do recommend it, but must warn anyone who's interested that it is very filling. The next time I come around, I ought to try their barbecue menu items.

What can you get for HKD $350 in Hong Kong for lunch? Tons of stuff. But can you get an Omakase 12…read morepiece sushi lunch with appetizers and dessert for that price? Along with impeccable service and an intimate atmosphere where the chef makes you feel like a friend? I'm gonna say no (but I welcome anyone that disagrees). Sushitsuru is a hidden little shop on the second floor of an old building in crowded Wan Chai. You walk up the muggy stairs and turn to one side to see a dirty hallway, then you turn to the other side and are greeted with a Japanese-themed, wood-decorated oasis. It's a complete escape from the hustle and bustle downstairs. HKD $350 (after service charge) will get you the 12 piece sushi set, at the chef's discretion. It also comes with a salad, a hand roll, udon, miso soup, and homemade ice cream/coffee, just in case you were worried you won't be full. Now, I can't tell you exactly what I ate because I was too intoxicated by the deliciousness to translate the chef's Chinese descriptions into English (plus, fish names are just confusing). However, there were some that really stuck out to me: Bonito(?) With Uni - I think the Chef said this was bonito, but I don't really remember. The texture was pleasingly squishy and the flavour with the uni on top was nice and strong. Sweet Shrimp with Crab Roe - The shrimp was so incredibly sweet and the crab roe had a perfect hint of that sea creature savouriness. It's like an oceanic flavour explosion. O-Toro - Can't deny a slab of good old tuna belly. The natural fattiness found its ideal place towards the end of the sushi set. Uni - They are not stingy with their sea urchin! You get a good 4-5 pieces piled up on a carefully rounded mound of rice. Pretty much when the Uni starts falling, he stops putting it on. The sea urchin was sweet and fresh, yellow creamy perfection. Flounder - Pieces of flounder were soaked in a soy sauce mixture, torched and then set on a piece of rice. I've never had fish like this before. It literally disintegrated in my mouth, making me panic because I thought I swallowed too quickly. As with all Omakase, it is best experienced at the bar, where you can watch the Chef craft his masterpieces, place the sushi gently in front of you, and quietly interact on a more personal level. The Chef in question, Mr. Ken Fung, is an undeniably great sushi chef and a wonderful person overall. He clearly has many regulars and they are all clearly fond of him as a person. I can see why! After hearing that I've never seen flounder sushi before and was leaving the country, he gifted me with a piece on the house, and asked that I hopefully return next time I'm in HK. Now that is how you get a repeat customer! As with most gems in HK, Sushitsuru is quietly hidden but a complete surprise when discovered. It's one of those places where you can celebrate an intimate special occasion, but as seen with the many regulars that visited, it makes for a very viable lunch option (they have cheaper but quality lunchboxes). Make a reservation, set aside 2 hours, and be prepared to experience some amazing food at a reasonable price, with staff that are very good at convincing you to come back again. (71/100) - 2017

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.
