The food is always well-prepared and the service is excellent. It's just a really reliable spot for a good meal. Definitely book a table for lunch, though, as it gets pretty busy. Super happy to have this as a go-to!

Overall, our server was great--super attentive with refilling tea and helping us with the menu. The ambiance, too, was nice; you have the choice of the bar, regular table, or tatami table. For the price of the meal, I had a higher expectation of the quality of the dish. Don't get me wrong, the fish was fresh and everything came promptly, but for almost 600 HKD, I just had different expectations coming in. Overall, this was a good restaurant experience, but nothing special.

The yakitori here embraces the whole bird, from thigh cuts to more adventurous bites like heart and thyroid, all charcoal grilled. Each skewer has a distinct flavor and texture. We were impressed by how each cut tasted, it's different texture and chew, winning us over to the concept. There is a strong case for their Michelin star earned in 2021, from where we were sitting. Beyond skewers, the spherical corn fritters and sweet, spicy KFC cauliflower were standout sides, and cocktails, some incorporating Japanese whisky and liqueurs, are thoughtfully crafted. The modern atmosphere, great service, and celebratory feel made for a fun and delicious night out.

The drink of the day was sold out so I just got a gin and tonic (solid but nothing to write home about). My favorite was the wingtip skin because it was so much collagen but you can't go wrong with any of the usual cuts. I would try the more interesting ones like bicep because you rarely see that at yakitori places (at least in the US). Service was fantastic, they would check on you and explain each skewer but also monitor you to make sure they always bring it out fresh.

Our Japanese chef came from Tokyo. He was very friendly and explained the names of fish to us in Cantonese. The restaurant is renowned for their tuna, and all the tuna pieces won our praises--from akami (lean tuna), chu-toro (medium fatty), o-toro (extra fatty), to the signature tuna tossaki hand roll. Both the chu-toro and o-toro were true delicacy without any fiber that melted immediately in our mouth. The signature tuna hand roll (突先巻き) used the rare cut of a tuna that is treasured for its intense flavor. The double uni sent us double happiness. It was very buttery and sweet, leaving us with a rich and unforgettable taste. As a perfect closing, they served some special desserts unlike other omakase spots. The tamagoyaki had a crème-brulêé-like custardy texture. Lastly the strawberries marked the end of our Christmas Day feast. ***You can either choose 13 pcs (HKD1,000 ~USD128) or 16 pcs (HKD1,300 ~USD166). If you like uni, you have to opt for the 16 pcs.

First time visiting HK so our local foodie on the scene brought us here and I will say, there were…read moresome good dishes and some ok dishes of the dreamers course. It's definitely fusion japanese cuisine. I would say my favorite would be the octopus tartar which I thought would be chewy but it came out more like a takoyaki crossed ceviche. The chicken dish turned out a little dry which followed by a rice dish that was a little heavy on the seasoning. The experience was great though and I loved the matcha lava cake at the end of the meal! Service was great and meal was well paced!

Don't get me wrong, we're eat literally everything and love experimenting but places like Honjo simply reinforce our beliefs. It misses the mark. The sushi was fine but to me, they just try to hard to come up with new ideas. The little shrimp toast was just ok. The wagyu carpaccio was good but didn't need all those fried garlic pieces. Don't get me wrong, the food is good but just not our cup of tea. We've been here a few times for the brunch - the earlier days were much better.

After having experienced hte…read morehooplah that was one of the most reviewed businesses in NYC's Ippudo (https://www.yelp.com/biz/ippudo-ny-new-york), it was only fitting I gave the HK version a fair shot. It's been a few shots now and for the most part, I've been content with all I've sampled. Ippudo might be in a household name in Asia, but the HK version certainly has its own specialties in what seems like a regionalized menu. There were a number of things I've never seen in NY or Japan but I suppose that's the beauty in visiting other franchise locations right? If only all global brands had this much variety. The prices are still $$$, but it's nice enough in here where people will still come rolling in. Firstly, the lobster ramen? This is likely seasonal and even a little weird. The lobster meat is tasty and while the presentation is on point, the broth does not complement the lobster at all. By retaining the shell, it forces the diner to eat both separately (i.e. removing the lobster and eating the noodles). Awkward sure, but HK'ers will definitely bite. Gone are also the hirata pork buns that have garnered a lot of fanfare and in their place, a vastly wimpier charsiu version that is a tad disappointing. They also have a happy hour that includes various skewers / izakaya pieces at discounted prices, along with frozen beer and a number of other items I've not seen in Ippudo before (scotch eggs anyone?). Someone tell the chef to relax on the chives for the gyoza ... they were practically buried in green. I still wouldn't put it past Ippudo to showcase some quality meals. The decor here is modern, the interior is clean, and the place is large enough to accommodate all kinds of party sizes. There is still the semi-cheesy Japanese welcomes from the staff, but I've actually encountered quite a few actual Japanese folks working here. And I've also seen a few of the HK'ers sleeping in the back room. Ippudo Corp: Your employees need a break.
