#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!

This spot has probably only about 30 seats and was busy even on a Sunday night. We showed up early…read morearound 6PM when they opened and this was the only reason we got a table. We saw them turn people away as time went on. Make a reservation if you are headed here for dinner. We took the Ding Ding and where you hop off (like stop 101E, David St, I think), you are a block away. Just head down Davis towards the ocean. Easy to find. We had a great sushi experience. We enjoyed some sashimi (toro and salmon) and they were above average and the salmon in particular was exceptional in quality. We asked about items of seasonal fish off the menu and we were guided to an Aji, which was beautifully presented as sashimi and as the whole fish (see photo). It was delicious and something I have not had myself. It was firmer, sweeter, delicate and fresh. Then after some additional items, we enjoyed their whole soft shell crab (not in the form of a sushi roll, but the crab itself). It was hot, delicately coated and fresh. Although we did not order sake, we saw sake being served to the table next to us. Their sake menu seems extensive. When they bring you the sake, they also bring a tray with a vintage miss match of little sake cups in which you pick a cup. I thought this was a cute little niche idea in the world of sake presentation. Our big meal came to $1300, including two glasses of wine and an automatic 10% gratuity. Yes, expensive, but absolutley in line with our experience and quality.

Best valued Japanese restaurant in Kennedy Town. This is my first time have dinner here and tried…read morethe 2-pax set dinner. This $499 set has surprised us - this has been an experience. And I can feel the effort behind. The starter was urchin poached egg, not some random urchin but a very decent one, and the presentation was perfect. This has successfully win my heart at once. Then the sashimi, already I decided to give them a five star as there is no salmon and no tuna. Intentionally making it as authentic as it could. Then comes the A5 wagyu. Hehe, I never expect my first time for A5 wagyu would happen in a set dinner as cheap as this. And the wagyu was almost raw, tho it melted and tasted so good! The other dishes like the chicken wings, chicken cartilage, and the sashimi rice are all very nice and authentic. Finally, the service is superb. The eagerness to strive for the best has truly impressive. They have asked me twice but sorry that I cannot think of any improvement point as they have already exceeded my expectation and I forget to mention......the set dinner comes with a big bottle of sake!!! OMG!

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. The uni tasted ok, decent and can't complain for that price. The negitoro was minced nicely, tasted good.

In many places the wasabi that's served isn't real but here they serve it fresh. You know because wasabi isn't suppose to have that lingering spiciness after you eat it. I've been to this location & another one in HK & it's amazing. Will always come back whenever I visit HK again!
