#ThrowbackThursday - Remembering Hong Kong…read more.. Conveniently located at Nathan Road near the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station, we decided to have our final meal in Hong Kong at Daikiya Japanese Restaurant. It's a very solid all-you-can-eat option with two thick notebooks of pictured items to choose from. The raw and the cooked, the fish and the meat, the meal and the dessert... Sashimi - The usual suspects abound (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, etc.), but they also have hokkigai (surf clam), amaebi (sweet shrimp), Hokkaido hotate (scallop), and nishin (Japanese herring with roe). Served on a bed of ice and decorated with artificial flowers, each platter was well-plated... and delicious! Nigiri - There are plenty of winners here, but let's focus on the one that topped the list - Grilled Scallop with Crab Oil and Garlic. Seared enough to give that burnt flavor, dabbed with crab oil, then topped with roasted garlic... Need I say more? This was the highlight of our meal and, yes, my younger daughter and I had this over and over and over! Worthy runners-up - Grilled Flatfish and Prawn with Black Fish Roe. Rolls - An assortment of maki (sushi roll), temaki (hand roll), gunkan-maki (ship roll), and sashimi rolls was on the menu as well, but we were able to try only a few. The Mango and Soft-Shell Crab Roll was too small and had more cucumber than anything else. There simply were better options to be had. Grilled - Surf and Turf! Shrimp, scallop, oyster, lamb chop, beef, chicken, pork, and even pineapple. The best dish was the Sautéed Diced Beef with Garlic. Perfectly seasoned and cooked medium, these beef chunks were so tender and tasty! Dessert - Gotta save room for some (or all) of these - mochi, macaron, ice cream, tiramisù, brownie, crème brûlée, fruit, nut, and so on. We indulged in their special Milk Top, which had a limit of one flavor per person. We tried the Romantic Moment and Green Tea Harmony, which had soft-serve ice cream, red bean/paste, mochi balls, jellies, and rice crispies. The only way to cap off an AYCE! After restocking on calories, we were ready to head back to the hotel and then to HKIA. Daikiya was just what the doctor ordered to fill up our bellies before leaving. We totally enjoyed our stay in Hong Kong, but we had to wrap up our adventure. It was time to say goodbye... for now...

OHHHH MYYY GOOOOD... It's one of my best meals in HK, amazing!!!! I've never been to an AYCE like…read morethis, putting Vegas buffets to shame. No wonder HK is the paradise for foodies! 1) The menu was extensive, almost overwhelming (there are 2 books), including sashimi boat, nigiri, tempura, seared fish, hand rolls, California rolls, desserts, anything you can think of! My eyes lit up when I opened the menu like I saw gold. 2) The food quality was very good for the price we paid. Everything raw was fresh and chilled and the rest were all served hot and steamy. 3) Service was super efficient and courteous too. They tried to fulfill all your requests. 4) It can be packed so book an early table. 5) You won't break your bank here to be able to enjoy a quality AYCE. We were all so full at the end. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in HK! I hope they stay in business for a while and keep the quality up! **** I heard the other locations don't taste as good so not every Daikiya is the same.

Wow what a great deal! Good bang for the buck in this cute little Japanese restaurant tucked in an…read moreunassuming street, almost alley, in Tsui Sha Tsui. Last call is 2:30 and we got there around 2pm on a Sunday. We had wait a little for the bar to clear up. It's a very small restaurant with only maybe capacity for 20 people or so. We ordered a sashimi lunch set and a tempura set and man it was such a great deal! My sashimi set includes almost 10 pieces of assorted fish like yellowtail, maguro, salmon, imitation crab (don't care), but hey they put amaebi and toro on my plate too and that was quite a nice surprise! Not only the sashimi was plentiful and amazing, my set also came with the steamed egg, miso soup and some pickled vegetables! The tempura was pretty good too and I liked the fried fish, very flavorful and tender! The sashimi set cost around $220 and the tempura a little less than $200. The prices are reasonable for the portions and the quality! Very great deal! Just come here earlier and be prepared to wait.

Boyfriend and I wanted to have a more pricey dinner so we are on vacation…read more This is a really cute, small restaurant. They closed at 10:30pm and we showed up at about 8:30pm. One of the waitress approached us and apologized that they were busy and no seats available. She walked around and came back to tell us that there should be seating at 9pm, and so we told her, "no problem, we will be back then." We walked around the block and went to the mall to kill time. When we got back about 8:50pm, we waited another 15 minutes, which was fine. We could tell it was busy and every seat in the place was taken (they had group celebrating a birthday-- they offer birthday cake!) By the time we were seated, half the place was getting up to leave. Every staff member starts their sentence with "I am sorry.." which they have nothing to be sorry for!-- but just could be their way of being polite. The waitress who took our order was an older lady. She's the one who approached us when we first arrived, who seated us, and took our order. Her English was pretty good, with a very thick accent (of course) but you can understand her. If you couldn't she will repeat herself or try to say it in a different way. She offered many great selections!-- including which needs to be dipped into their special soy sauce and regular soy sauce. We had sashimi of: baby tuna, tuna, salmon, sea urchin, yellowtail.. and a few others I can't remember. And one tuna roll. Their wasabi is delicious! Everything is fantastic! They offer coke, sprite, and orange juice, along with different types of alcohol. The staff is always busy, literally hurrying along. They come over and wipe down the soy sauce drops that are on the table. They switch out your plates once they start to look a little too used, and always makes sure your drinking glass is full. One of the best services I've ever had! I did have to ask for the check, but maybe they do that so you can enjoy your stay and not feel like you need to leave. Our bill was just a little under $250 USD, but that was expected with all the sushi we had, and just what we were looking for. We highly recommend this place!

I seriously stumbled upon this place because it was raining and I had no umbrella! What also caught…read moremy eye was that they had a set up of real display food. I mean how good can the side restaurants be on the sides of ladies market. I looked at the menu outside and couldn't believe how cheap this sushi place was. I mean for $38 you get two pieces of sushi and for two pieces of tuna is $13? They even had lunch combos at a fair price. I mean what can I lose? So I went in and thank god there was people eating here. They have a pretty extensive menu ranging from sushi to ramen. I just stuck with the sushi of course. I only ordered the salmon, yellowtail, red snapper, and tuna. My favorite was the salmon and yellowtail! Both weren't fishy and tasty! The red snapper had a funky texture that I couldn't make out. The tuna was fishy and felt like it wasn't fresh at all. My total only came out to $55 hkd! So I'm not complaining at all for average sushi.

Well you are correct, it's not the most amazing food I've eaten, but nor is it the worst. It lies a little above average. The rating comes from the value for food. Less that $40 for a set lunch with a ice lemon tea is not as common is it once was, in fact I don't know of any other Japanese restaurants that does that. I've been more times than I can count and every time at lunch. No matter how busy it is and it gets busy, there always seems to be a pair of chairs available. As is my norm once I find a decent dish on the menu its difficult for me to stray from it. The choice for me here is roasted chicken fillet, udon, and two little salmon sushis. I normally go with my girlfriend who orders the salmon sushi roll set and we share. By sharing I mean I take the food she can't finish/too slow to finish. As one would expect the service has room for improvement, the food arrives at all different times, sushi first, an udon bowl a minute later, it's a lucky draw. The food is good, I've never gotten food poisoning (touch wood), and my hunger has been sated. For $38 what more can I ask for. There are times I order the chicken and rice, and that's only $33! Over the year that I lived in Yau Mai Tei Nanamoto became my go-to restaurant. I mean, I could buy the groceries, spend time and wasted effort trying to make something edible... or sit in relative peace and have the food delivered in front of my nose, for only $10 more expensive. This explains why I'll never make it as a chef!

This review is only based after 10PM cause that is when mostly everything is 50% off. This is good quality sushi too, not the cheap sushi you find in America. Everything is freaking cheap!

FOOD: 2 SERVICE: 2…read moreAMBIANCE: 4 VALUE: 2 This was really a huge disappointment! We were expecting much better food and service, but what we got was average food, below average service and half our cocktail drinks didn't come until after we've finished our WHOLE meal. We ordered the following: 1. Seafood Soup in Teapot - four little clams, one small piece of white fish and one tiny scallop in a salty broth served lukewarm. 2. Steamed Egg with Black Truffle - eggs steamed with a piece of shrimp, piece of crab meat, a piece of chicken and a small dollop of black truffle. Despite looking nothing like the picture in the menu, it was probably the best dish of the night. 3. Japanese Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Tempura - yes it was tempura, but served cold. 4. Assorted Tempura - again, average tempura served cold. 5. Hiroshima Oyster Cutlet - fancy name for fried oysters and very average at best. 6. Spicy Tuna Crispy Chip - where's the spice? Where's the taste? 7. Special Sashimi Platter - nothing really special here, pretty standard fare and the fishes weren't that fresh. 8. Specialty Cocktails (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) - don't even bother looking at their drinks menu because you are not getting what is shown and it won't even taste like anything except artificial flavors. Sushi One is located towards the back and you will be walking past two other Japanese restaurants, if I was you, I would seriously consider the other two before walking into this trap! At 50% off after 9:30PM, it might be worth the deceptions on looks and tastes for the thrifty, but this Yelper will not be coming back at any time.

The sushi plates here are all HKD8 plus 10%. There are sushi, salads, appetizers, desserts and drinks. It is quite a bargain. This brand originates from Taiwan. It has takeaway stores in some mtr stations across Hong Kong. This is a revolving s sushi bar so everything is self service. Freebies include of course wasabi and soy sauce, green tea and preserved ginger. There tofu curd with corn/ seaweed salad is sweet and yum. The mackeal apendizer is tasty. The salmon roe sushi is not at its freshest. Another plate of crayfish salad like sushi is bit too strong in the seasoning, making it bit too salty. The drinks like coca cola and jelly drinks were from Taiwan. There were way too much salmon sashimi and sushi on the revoling belt. At last, only a handful of plates are eaten by each of us. Looking around, other customers are more ferocious. The sitting time is limited to 40 minutes. The quene was quite quick but when we left, it was long.
