Merry XMAS, Happy Holidays, and Sushi Hiro

It's been a long time... Merry Christmas to everyone (Happy Hannukah, Kwanzah...) and a Happy upcoming New Year~.

I happily ate at Sushi Hiro, a restaurant in Causeway bay, this evening with an old friend - Justin. Ended up costing about USD 90, but it was pretty tasty, and I tried some new types of fish. Since there is a severe lack of HK restaurant online reviews, I thought I'd do some of my own.

Restaurant: Sushi Hiro
Type: Sushi-focused
Location: 10/F., Henry House, 42 Yun Ping Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. Phone:, 2882-8752
Chef's Ethnicity: Japanese. The master chef was also Japanese.
Ambiance: 4/5
Food: 4.5/5
Service: 4.75/5
Expected damage: HKD 700 pp, with light drinks

Our Menu:
  1. Yellowtail (2x)
  2. Shimaaji (another type of Yellowtail, a bit sweeter)
  3. Aji (horse mackerel)
  4. Uni (de Hokkaido)
  5. Ikura (almost too mild)
  6. Chutorro (the best fish of the night. We saw the Otorro, and it looked like fish bacon)
  7. Engawa (a chewy fish which the chef recommended, and Justin had had before) \
  8. Kinki (a fish, medium chewiness, but only half as much as the Engawa)
  9. Mirugai (not bad, though I'm not a regular shellfish eater)
  10. Abalone (as it looks, tasty, good texture)
  11. Oyster-Miso soup, with tofu, veggies, etc.
Sa-bi-su:

  1. Peach liqueur with soda water
  2. Turnip with miscellaneous mushrooms, okra, and other small-sized ingredients in a small bowl
  3. A meatball, reminiscent of Porter Square's Cafe Mami's Tokyo Hamburg Steak, with tasty sauce
  4. Ice cream or fruit. We both had green tea ice cream.

Drinks:

  1. 3 draft Asahis total
