#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.

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. It is on the pricier side but the quality of fish and hospitality get the most bang for your buck.

Our meal included a small potatoe salad and garden salad with ginger dressing. We had the grassfed steak, jumbo shrimp, scallops and Chilean seabass. This meal was overall satisfying.

I'm one lucky girl to be celebrating my birthday here with my dearest family, and didn't have to pay a dime (heh). They only serve one tasting menu here, so you don't get to choose what you're having, but you do get to choose what sake to accompany your meal with. You also get to choose the exact sake cup to drink it from. There are 8 savory courses and 2 sweet ones. Quite a few of them are out of this world, including a dish with fresh figs, topped with foie gras, wasanbon sugar and sesame cream, which my dad raved on and on about for weeks after, delicious sous vide wagyu beef that melts in your mouth, and a luxurious chawanmushi (steamed egg) topped with crab and crab roe. The desserts are mindblowingly good as well. There is a candy-shelled pear with pear jam inside, all frozen with liquid nitrogen, and tasted like fresh pears in falling snow. The other dessert is chestnut ice cream topped with shaved chestnut -- as the biggest chestnut fan on Earth this was my absolute favourite, and while I was quite full I still devoured it all. The meal ended with some matcha and sweets, and was such a perfect ending to a perfect meal. I would totally come here again, if only it wasn't so expensive as well. Be prepared to spend a couple grand (HKD) here, but for Michelin 2 stars and the food, I'd say it was totally worth it.

Beautiful night skyscraper, vibe, hongkong city. This ryugin location offers hongkong exclusive menus such as shanghai crabs and few other local ingredients.

Wow amazing and the best place in the world so far for me for tempura!!! And yes that's also what…read morethey're known for as they have a tempura bar! Their sashimi and everything else were fresh and exquisite too! The restaurant is located on the 4th (as I remember) inside Four Seasons in the IFC mall. The front is a bit dim but you can't miss the giant blue ball there. The lunch sets offer very reasonable prices but your wallet might be broken if you go there for dinner so I suggest you try their lunch first before you take the jump. Lunch sets include teppanyaki, sashimi and tempura sets. Plenty to choose from! I got the Kagoshima kurobuta (black Berkshire from a specific locality in Japan) katsudon (breaded pork cutlets over rice) lunch set which comes with a small bowl of Inaniwa udon. Bonus includes a dessert that was not stated on the menu so make sure you ask! My mom got the tempura lunch set and it comes with sooooo many items and it seems like they never stop bringing out food so id say that one is a better deal than the katsudon, but the katsudon is the best I've had in my life so far!! The pork in the katsudon was so flavorful and was deep fried to perfection! The rice they used was of excellent quality which was also cooked to the perfect texture. Then the egg and sautéed onions... The flavor was just addicting and I finished everything in the bowl! Normally I don't finish the rice! The udon was amazing too. This lunch set is highly recommended! The tempura set includes many items as stated on the menu, but the tempura and the sashimi are the stars of the set, of course. It's good to see they gave us freshly ground wasabi for the sashimi. Score! The yellowtail was very fresh and had the perfect fat/meat cut. Then the tempura. It's the first time I get to sit at a tempura bar where the chef deep fries your order behind the fryer with a big shiny copper lid. He deep fries small batches and we eat as we go. Tempura items include shrimp, mushrooms, root vegetables, etc. tempura is supposed to be eaten when it's piping hot so make sure you choose the bar! Otherwise they'll just put everything on a plate and have the waiter bring it out to you. Food quality was amazing. That doesn't need to be mentioned at this point. If you can, opt for the green tea cake. The chocolate mousse thing was just alright. Amazing service and reasonable prices for the quality of food (lunch time only). Will definitely be back to try their other stuff!!!

Went in not expecting much as I had not heard about it previously…read more Left in awe of how nearly perfect the nigiri was - baby hamachi; mirugai; akagai; botan ebi; and ama ebi. Flavourful neta, freshly firm, the right temperature, with the right hint of the ocean. The rice was the right texture, temperature, and flavour. Comparable to the best I've had in Tokyo, LA, or NY. It might have been an anomoly, but it was that good. This tempered after a week's distance and objectivity. Why, then, only 4 stars? The combo ranged from great - foie gras, grilled kuruma ebi and properly separated and fried head / shell - to just very good (over cooked wagyu rolls) And service that seemed to have a forced congenial hospitality. I can't wait to go back to see if I was delusional when I had this eye opening meal. Pictures to come...

Lots and lots of hand roll options…read more Be prepared to wait on line for a while though, but it's worth it. I came for the UNI handroll, but also tried a spicy salmon handroll and the spicy salmon actually ended up even better! They put a wasabi mayo mixture sauce, and it was so tasty! A bit overpriced for HK street food at 50HKD for the uni hand roll and I believe 30HKD for the other, but still very fresh and delicious. If you're a sushi lover like me, their hand rolls won't let you down.

I must say it is a little deceiving as all the uni and raw fish were mostly at the top of the handroll. The raw ingredients are gone half way and onwards.

My husband were in Hong Kong City checking out the outlet situation (ISA Outlet specifically) when…read morewe decided we were too far from home to make dinner ourselves and so we would just grab something close before we hopped on the MTR and headed home. Looking on Yelp for "sushi," we found Fukumura in the same shopping structure and although it did not have any reviews, we thought we would go. SO GLAD WE DID! My husband eats sushi and I eat sashimi as a general rule. In both situations, we agreed that this meal was fantastic! Not just kind of fantastic, but "holy crap this fish is so fresh I should slap it" kind of fantastic. The sashimi scallops and sweet shrimp were so delicate and sweet and simple perfection. The tuna, the flounder and the salmon were equally perfect and cut in large fat sizes. We sat at the actual sushi bar and were able to see all the cool rolls and items that the sushi chefs were preparing. Quite the art amongst this group of sushi chefs! We ordered veggie tempura and a bottle of cold sake. Cold sake was presented in a cool serving vessel and kept pefectly chilled until the last drop. The staff was so accomodating and on it at the completion of a dish, refilling of tea or reorder of more sushi. A lot of staff, regularly available, welcoming and helpful, genuinely glad that we were there and happy for our business. The restaurant is not large, seating only 50. It does have a small sushi bar that sits about 10 and also a teppanyaki bar that sits about 10 too. Then there is the small dining room and also appeared to have a private back room of some sort. The low ceilings and the llight wooded walls make the place have a warm feel, but there is no sitting on the ground or anything here in some traditional Japanese spots. This is not a bustling area at 6PM on a Sunday, very dead really. We think this place and the restaurants all around it must have a busy work crowd during mid week lunches and such, for again it was dead when we showed up. The whole plaza around Fukumura appeared dead. But don't let this fool you, this restaurant was great and we would defiinately go back. It is expensive, so be warned. We walked out with a bill around $2200HKD for just the two of us, but you get what you pay for. They do have a $600HKD sashimi sampler that included tuna, salmon, shrimp, scallop, toro and something else. We tend to over indulge when it comes to sushi, so our bill can get out of hand. So if you are not getting out of hand, neither will your bill.

Ichiran really has a great system down so your order is ready as soon as possible. There's nothing quite like the joy of filling out your paper to customize your ramen. The seats have dividers to the left and right (you can still chat if you've come with friends though!) so when you get your ramen, it really feels like it's just you and your ramen in that space. It's pretty magical. They also have really good water...there's just something really good about it, you'll see. Go here. I still dream about Ichiran and I've been back in the US for over a year now. PS I definitely had already eaten some of my ramen before I took this pic. No restraint
