Hong Kong: Mori Sushi 森壽司

I've been MIA. My apologies for the inconsistency, no excuses.

Good news is, I'm back and I will try to write as much as I possibly can. My newest review is Mori Sushi, a hidden jewel in Central, Hong Kong. What I mean by "hidden" is down an alleyway leading to a chinese wet market with a door so nondescript that you would've missed it even if you knew what you were looking for.



It took me one full week to book a 3 person table for lunch at 1:35 on a weekday. The Japanese restaurant that seats no more than 15 person serves lunches at $58-$88hkd per person.


The set lunch comes with a small appetizer(we got spinach gomae), a salad, an entree (rice with sushi or cooked Japanese food), a miso soup and also a fruit plate.


The portions were average, weren't huge but sushi rice had more than enough seafood for a mere $58hkd.  What a steal! For that price, the seafood was far more fresh than some restaurants charging $200hkd for literally the same thing.

The salmon/uni rice, priced at $88hkd was decent. The salmon sashimi was extremely sweet, however the uni was inconsistent. I had a few excellent pieces of uni and yet had a couple pieces that were bitter. Regardless, this restaurant proves to be of excellent value and worth visiting again.
