Also got the deep fried oyster, I wasn't too impressed of that dish because I was expecting to see bigger oysters.

I'd come back but I highly doubt it because of the bad ventilation. After a 45 minutes lunch my clothes smelled like I have been deep frying for the whole morning. This is a big let down.

This is one of the best sushi places I have been in Hong Kong, everything is seasoned so you don't need to dip them in soy sauce. The chef meticulously prepare each dish and it's beautifully presented. Absolutely love the clean and minimalistic decor and would highly recommend booking the sushi counter for lunch. Dinner starts at 2000 per person so lunch time is definitely a steal.

Two years ago I had a very memorable experience at Sushi Mori 鮨森日本料理 in Causeway Bay, right in…read morefront of Mori-san himself. It was my one and only visit, and it was extremely memorable. You can read that experience directly here http://beefnoguy.blogspot.com/2013/08/hong-kong-sushi-mori-causeway-bay.html Last year back in HK I tried looking for Mori-san, but he left the restaurant. 2 years ish later he resurfaces in North Point (closer to Fortress Hill) at Sushi Mori Tomoaki where he has more business decision power, and his loyal local fans managed to find him. Mori-san is an interesting fellow. Half Kansai Japanese, half Hong Konger (he's also a local!). And he speaks both fluently. His father is trained classically in kaiseki, though he chose the route of sushi. Made a reservation at the bar in front of him the day before, and it was like reconnecting with an old friend. Non stop conversation with delectable solid bites in between. As it was my last lunch in town, I did a pretty much full blown omakase and went to YOLO town, despite the fact that two days prior I went to the 2nd best nigiri joint in Osaka. The entrance is just a wall with an electronic sliding door, and a set of noren with a Japanese symbol. If you do not look for this, you will miss it. Then again this is the only JP restaurant on Shell street. The restaurant expanded in the past 8 months to include two sushi bars side by side. All of the staff are well trained, but you want to sit in front of Mori-san himself. To start, a spectacularl gorgeous authentic chanwanmushi with Matsuba snow crab, mushroom, yuzu zest (grated from fresh imported Japanese yuzu). Silky smooth, intense, delicious just like the one I had in Kyoto. Thick pickled ginger slices (akin to daikon) placed on the earthenware dish. No excess moisture and very pleasant with a crisp. Nigiri time! Shima aji - a prime specimen with delectable garnish and knife strokes Buri (wild JP yellowtail) - a light brush of nikiri seals the deal Kawahagi (filefish) with raw liver on top - Two places in SF Bay Area used to offer this seasonally and now they don't get them anymore. Such a pleasure. The liver is soft and runny, guess it is advantageous for JP/HK to be within 4+ hours of air travel. Aji - So delicate, with very light garnish! This lunch is getting good! Applewood smoked Nagasaki oyster - fecking incredible Seko gani kani miso (香箱蟹) - the tomalley/inside of the female JP crab head. Looks like ankimo had a one night stand with mustard seeds. Very interesting Aka mutsu - look at the knifework on that! Kohada - it's not a tip top prime specimen, but Mori-san puts in the necessary skill (and fusion touches) to make it complete. First he marinates it in apple vinegar which is already very unusual. Then he puts a thin layer of kelp on top, akin to Osaka style saba sushi (battera). His reasoning: you can find Edo style sushi easily in HK, the dare to be different and doing it right, makes you stand out. And I have to agree. Kuruma ebi (imperial shrimp) - Last time I had this was Akiko's San Francisco before chef Ricky left last year. Here this specimen is more crisp and spectacular. Chu-toro - it's excellent, can't complain Shirako (cold milt) - look at the picture, it's so fecking CUTE! Seared and prior to that, smoked with apple wood. Genius and creamy! Seared meiji maguro (baby bluefin) - Ridiculous hard to procure. He sourced this cut to a katsuo (bonito) specialist vendor in Japan. Sometimes baby bluefin are caught in the nets meant for bonito, and thus a rare treat. Otoro - sublime Japanese uni - nuff said, looks a bit like aka uni. From 888 Ogawa Company. This one is interesting... blue fin tuna meat from the top of the head! A very unusual cut, and after searing almost looks like JP beef. Super interesting texture and taste! Hokkaido scallop with shaved yuzu zest - tried and always true. Meaty with the right balance Unagi senbei - Mori san doesn't screw around. The traditional approach is to steam, grill, then steam again. To achieve the crispy "rice cracker" effect, he doesn't do the final steam, but instead just heats it up more. This mofo is not deep fried like a jive ass roll. Great job Mori-san! Steamed abalone - Kuro awabi must be darn expensive to get to HK, and whatever he used is good. Loved that extra nikiri/brushed sauce on top! Tamagoyaki - this is his signature castella / Katsutera pound cake style tamagoyaki. Good stuff indeed. Mori-san continues to season his sushi rice with aged red vinegar, and the color is far darker (once applied to the sushi rice), yet it does not taste terribly sour. I didn't even see this kind of colored sushi rice in Osaka. It's yet another attention to detail and skill that elevates the experience. Had to run and passed up on offer for free dessert and coffee (coffee in a JP restaurant? Haha nice). Half the price of 3 Michelin star Sushi Shikon. Until next time!

Sushi Raku is located inside Aeon on the 3rd floor. Great place to come for lunch if you are…read moreshopping in the plaza and not as crowded as other eateries inside Cityplaza. I love the menu which is on a tablet! I know this is not something new but the photos of the food are of good quality and I have to give them credit that the actual food representation is really similar to the photos! Set lunch is definitely the way to go. My Chirushi Don with Uni ($138) looked better in the photo, a little disappointed as some of the fish was not as fresh as expected. But the portion is huge for Japanese cuisine. The representation of the food is all above average but I wish they taste better?! Maybe stick with the cooked entree? My father loves their Unagi Don ($138) and that's the only thing he would order from here!

We tried the dinner…read moresets--Japanese fried chicken with taru taru sauce and cold udon, plus grilled steak with miso and hot udon. The chicken was crispy without being too oily and went really well with the sauce. The steak was nicely grilled and very tender. The udon noodles were cooked perfectly--springy and full of flavor. We also had the 3-type sashimi, and all the fish was super fresh, with two kinds of soy sauce to pair, which the staff directed us which was for which. Staff were friendly and spoke enough English to make ordering smooth and easy.

Came for lunch, which is much less expensive than dinner for similar if not identical food…read more Definitely make reservations as they don't really take walk-ins. There are 3 options ranging from $450-900. The more pricey options get sashimi and grilled fish, but have 4 less nigiri pieces. Interesting, there are no special fish with the higher priced options so I think the best value would be the middle option (12 nigiri plus 1 hand roll). All options come with chawanmushi, miso soup and your option of coffee or ice cream (pistachio or yuzu). Pieces included ebi (one of the best I've had), squid with uni, toro and chutoro, geoduck, mackerel, anago. All were great and I wasn't disappointed with any pieces. 5* for the middle option as quality for $600 HKD is a steal. The highest priced one isn't worth the extra money IMO.

I came here for the lunch set on a weekday. Like all places in this area lunchtime is really busy…read moreso I would suggest getting here before 12:00 pm to avoid the lines. They have non sushi items but the thing to order here is the sashimi. I had the special tuna don which is a bit on the pricey side but in line with what you would pay in Hong Kong (200 hkd). The tuna is definitely high quality and had a nice texture to it. I would definitely recommend ordering it. This isn't a place I would go every day but it's nice to treat yourself to a nice lunch on occasion.
