Had a really satisfying dinner at Mitsubaya Udon & Soba in Fortress Hill. 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.

I opted for one of their dinner sets, seared sushi with beef udon, which was really good and filling. Fish is fresh, although I would've liked my fish seared a tad bit more. My bf had their deluxe sushi set which looked really good. I got a piece of one of the tuna nigiri - literally melts in your mouth. Presentation of all the dishes was really nice. Everyone in my group who got the hot dinner sets was also really satisfied with their choice too. Some of the dinner sets came with a red bean mochi Haagen Dazs ice cream, which was a pretty unique flavor (a tad too sweet though). Service was really good and they're very prompt with filling water, which is always appreciated so you can feel comfortable talking as much as you want w/out worrying bout being thirsty haha. The server who took our order was really nice too because she came back to make sure she got everyone's order right. Ambience is nice for a date or casual night out. This is in a shopping area so you can window shop (or real shop) and walk off your meal afterwards.

Came here for lunch with a friend at 1:15 pm. We felt super rushed throughout our lunch even though…read morethere were other tables occupied. They charge a 10% service charge and I felt like it wasn't worth the pushy service. Supreme Sushi Set ($168 HKD) - beef udon, sushi, salad, steamed egg, and ice cream. The fish was not super high quality so I was disappointed at the price point. The udon and salad were okay. The highlight was the steamed egg - it was very flavorful and silky smooth. The ice cream at the end was a mini haagen Daz. Grilled beef tongue with beef bone sauce on hot pan set ($128 HKD) - the beef tongue was super tender and the sauce was very good. It comes with salad, sashimi, steamed egg, and miso soup. Ice cream or coffee is included.

It's decent enough, but nothing particularly good, considering that HK is full of amazing ramen…read moreplaces. The Shiro, Aka, Kuro, etc. are pretty much the same thing with different soup base. Shiro means white in Japanese, so it's pork bones. Aka means red, so it's spicy.. and so on. If you go for a set, you got some assorted sushi. Mind you, they are at Genki Sushi level of quality. You'd probably expect more in IFC. That led to my main problem with this shop - it's expensive. $138 for a set of ramen + 3 sushi (no drink). Again, I know it's IFC, and even the McDonald's costs you more money than other branches... but still. Otherwise, the seating was okay and staff were nice and friendly.

This isn't your typical ramen bar -- in addition to their signature noodles, guests can order from…read morea variety of appetizers and small dishes to share. I've been here a number of times, but only discovered on my most recent visit that they actually have a private room in the back -- good for when you're dining with a group of friends and want to enjoy conversation more easily. For the food, the ramen is pretty solid, and the Shiro has never let me down with its rich broth. Bonus: you can order a half-portion of this, if you want to leave stomach space to try more dishes. Prices are as expected for a restaurant in IFC (the half portion of Shiro costs HK$68 each), and service is friendly. If you do happen to be seated in the private room, it's more of a struggle to get the attention of wait staff.

I just had a quick lunch here following the recommendations of some coworkers, and I'd say the…read moredining experience offered by this place is satisfactory. I ordered a lunch set which came with a "mini" sashimi rice, "mini udon", two small pieces of tempura and unlimited refills of green tea (self-serve). For what I paid, portions feel a tad small, but overall food quality wasn't bad. The udon was straddling the border between chewy and mushy, but the broth overall had enough flavour. Tempura was a bit of a let down in two ways. Firstly, it's literally tiny portions, and secondC the batter was starting to become crusty instead of crunchy- these differences matter. It's also odd they both pieces of tempura despite looking completely different in terms of colour were also sweet potato. The ingredients on the sashimi rice were okay. While the fish was exceptionally fishy, suggesting that it's not very fresh, I was surprised to find slightly sweet ikura (salmon roe), which is associate with the better batches of ikura that I end up finding in the Sapporo fish market. They were also a bit too soaring with the rice and this particular set did not come with a free soup or additional beverage, but then again it wasn't particularly expensive so I could let that slide. Japanese food is often expensive and if you are looking for better value to money, there are definitely other places in the area that can give you more bang for your buck- just don't expect that place to also serve Japanese food.

My sister-in-law recommended this place for dinner. The name is somewhat different from the name in…read moreOpen Rice. The one is Yelp said teppanyaki and the one in Open Rice was called izakaya. Deep Fried Little White Fish - It was a kind of nice snack to eat before a meal Deep Fried Dish Skin - The dish was still hot when it arrived. They were crispy and crunchy. A Platter of Sashimi - There were four different kinds of fish on the platter. Each kind had to dip in different sauces to enrich the taste. Clams cooked in Sake - The soup was so delicious and the size of the clams was big. The meat was thick. It was a good dish to eat especially in the winter. Hot Pot with Beef Briskets - Very similar to the Chinese way of cooking. The hotpot had beef briskets, turnips, lettuce, and scallions etc. The taste was just right, not too salty and the briskets were tender. Rice Balls with Plums and Fish Roes - Love the way the chef pan fried the rice balls to make the outside crispy. I would be satisfied with just the plain pan fried fish balls . Chocolate Ice Cream It's the dessert on the house. I first thought it's an ordinary chocolate flavour ice cream. In fact, it's chocolate flavour with chocolate chips ice cream, a nice dessert to conclude my dinner tonight.

Salad + miso soup + 7 pieces of premium sushi (ur choice) + a bowl of veggie udon come to a total of $148hkd. I liked the sushi but not the udon. Udon is kinda blend.

My subpar experiences in western restaurants and especially fusion restaurants initially had me…read morevery skeptical of Gochiso. The idea of pizza and pasta by way of Japanese inspiration sounded nice in theory but could it really be pulled off well? Surprisingly, yes. The first time I experienced Gochiso was via delivery. A few hungry heads and I scoured for pizzas throughout TST and finally decided we wanted our own individual pizzas instead of going massive with something from other nearby spots. I was prepared for something incredibly mediocre, but the craving was real. Enter our three pizzas: salmon + avocado, margherita, and Japanese rice cake + cod roe. All three were thin with a crispy crust, a bit skimpy on the fixings, but tasty overall. No one saw this coming and we devoured our 11 inch pies like wild boars in the jungle. The sweetness from the cherry tomatoes on the margherita, the creaminess of the avocado and salmon, and the "mentai" flavor from the rice cake and cod roe were impossible to ignore. Next day we decided to dine in and get a feel for the place. The initial impression was that it was quaint overall, somewhat bistro like if anything. There was a bar counter that had all sorts of red + white wines that presumably would pair well with their Italian inspired fare. The bathrooms were clean, but it was expected considering this was located inside the K11 mall. The well dressed servers were excellent. They were polite and attentive, which is all one can ask in this crazy service climate of HK. We discovered the pastas were also solid, though the presentation was lacking somewhat. It didn't matter in the end, we managed to clean our bowls up of the pesto shrimp, linguine carbonara and a few pizzas to share. Nothing was overly outstanding, but given our reasonably low expectations this was a solid meal. Pizza connoisseurs might be confused with the toppings, but considering the limited quality pizza options here, Gochiso is alright by me.

While walking through the K11 mall, came upon this restaurant. Menu looked varied, so we decided to…read moretry it. Ended up with the set menu which seems to be a great price at around HKD530. One entries to share, two soups, one large salad, choice of one pasta or rice or pizza, two desserts, and two drinks which are upgradable to alcoholic beverages for a small additional charge. Salad came out and was good; then soups which were extremely hot; followed by the entree (I.e., steak) which was Luke warm; and, followed by dessert which was cake with a strawberry. Service was quick and food was acceptable. We were full; but, this was a strange dining experience that one must learn to like.

Enjoyed a delicious late night dinner here last night. A friend and I shared several items and…read morewe're both foodies but we had no complaints! The mori hachi salad provided a bit of greenery, the tuna sashimi, 15% off, was five slices of perfectly tender raw fish, the karaage was nice and crispy (just wish there'd been more), pork belly was juicy and we grilled it up to perfection, and the ox tongue fried rice was really a treat. All washed down with 500ml of half-price Asahi on draft and we were leaving happy. Decor is nice, especially for a place with no windows. They definitely invested some energy in emulating a Japanese Korean fusion vibe to match the food. It's freezing cold inside but they did turn the temp up a bit when I asked, and even gave me a jacket to borrow. Come for the late-night discounts and you won't be disappointed. Just don't all come at once! The place was kinda empty and I liked it that way. I was even hesitant to add it to yelp & review it. But others should be able to try it too. Enjoy!

My husband got the spicy tsukemen which I always prefer over the non-spicy... but it's always good to try without the spice to be able to taste the original. I'm glad I did - it was delicious without being overly salty. Noodles had a nice chew to it, almost like udon noodles. We also got sides of gyoza which I can do without.. it is clear the tsukemen is the star of the show here. Immediately felt the need to visit again! Roughly $120 a person with gyoza appetizers.
