You may have noticed that I have left a comment earlier on their Mini Sukiyaki lunch set and I was really disappointed because their Mini Sukiyaki set was essentially a shabushabu but not sukiyaki at all. We decided to give it a try again for the real Sukiyaki Set of which pre-ordering was required. I made the reservation too late so only managed to get a table seat instead of the bar table.

You may have noticed that I have left a comment earlier on their Mini Sukiyaki lunch set and I was really disappointed because their Mini Sukiyaki set was essentially a shabushabu but not sukiyaki at all. We decided to give it a try again for the real Sukiyaki Set of which pre-ordering was required.

I made the reservation too late so only managed to get a table seat instead of the bar table. It was quite hot and there was no air-conditioning so we kept sweating especially when we were eating the hot food. We had to ask them twice in order to have the temperature lowered but then in the middle of our meal they raised the temperature again so I had to ask them again......

We ordered 2 Sukiyaki sets but later on (after we had left!) we found out that the salad had not been served to us!

Appetizer 煙燻螢光魷魚

The 魷魚 was slightly crispy with a gentle smoky flavour. The veggies were quite fresh. Overall, this appetizer was pretty nice.

櫻花蝦蒸蛋

櫻花蝦蒸蛋

The container was so big but the egg custard was so little. It looked very pleasant to the eyes though. The eggs were really smooth with a strong flavour of tofu. The texture was quite interesting given the crispy 櫻花蝦.

近江牛 (rib eye, sirloin & shoulder from the bottom to top)

The order of eating was from bottom to top in the increasing level of fat. This was the portion for two persons, which was quite small given the price I would say.

Vegetable Plate from Japan

The Japanese chef who served us was so nice to ask if there was anything we didn't like on this vegetable plate maybe because he noticed that I was checking out the veggies.

Then the chef started the sukiyaki by the beef fat.

Japanese egg dip

When my lunch partner finished one egg, the chef asked if he would like to have one more without anybody telling us that they were going to charge us $20 more. We were a bit surprised when we saw that on the bill. Next time we should really remember to ask before ordering.

Sukiyaki with rib eye & leek

Then the chef started the sukiyaki with rib eye and leek. It was quite enjoyable watching the chef cook for us, like the way he sprinkled sugar and added sauce onto the food. Maybe most of the cost of the meal really went to the service of the chef. But when he was cooking towards the end, the sukiyaki pot spilt out some sauce onto my face and blouse. It was ok. The chef did apologise.

We were given a very small bowl of rice which could be refilled for free. The rice was quite moist which was my cup of tea.

1st bowl: rib eye & leek

It was the first bowl prepared by the chef. The rib eye didn't have a strong flavour of beef nor a strong flavour of yummy sukiyaki sauce. It was quite disappointing indeed. Dipping into the egg just made the sukiyaki sauce even more diluted.

2nd bowl: Japanese vegetables

The second bowl was all vegetables. I thought vegetables should be served later after eating more beef. The vegetables could have been better, especially those cabbages which were a bit rough. The tofu were quite good though. The tofu-like cube on the left was very smooth!

3rd bowl: sirloin

The third bowl was sirloin with some refreshing greens. The sirloin tasted more or less like the rib eye.

4th bowl: onion

It was a very pretty and nicely presented onion. I could eat it ring by ring!

5th bowl: sirloin, potato noodles & leek

There was some leftover sirloin with potato noodles and leek. The potato noodles didn't taste particularly good as they didn't absorb the sauce well. It was really quite disappointing.

6th bowl: shoulder

The shoulder gave a much richer taste of beef than rib eye and sirloin. The greens were so pretty with a nicely tied knot. Still the beef was not comparable to those we recently ate in Tokyo...

The best thing about this was the tofu cubes at the bottom.

7th bowl: udon with beef & eggs

We could choose between rice and udon. Of course we went for the udon. The chef cooked udon first and then beef pieces with our leftover eggs to make the toppings. The udon looked really nice with the toppings. The udon itself was pretty good, not super al dente but acceptable, and it was very smooth. Again, it was not comparable to those sukiyaki noodles we ate in Tokyo.

Green tea ice cream

The ice cream was ok.

Hot lemon water

We asked for hot lemon water (they didn't offer cold drinks) instead of coffee.

Overall, I would say this set was quite pricey at $580 + 10% considering the quality of the beef and the portion. I had expected better quality of the beef and sukiyaki itself (although my expectation could have been too high given our recent amazing sukiyaki experience in Tokyo). Having said that, the service of the Japanese chef (but not the staff) was quite good. In short, I would never go back again.
