Morihachi Yakiniku

Last night I went to Morihachi Yakiniku, one of the popular Japanese grill restaurants in Hong Kong. There are two branches, and I went to the one in Causeway Bay which is located in an old office tower, and there you would not expect any good food up there.

I felt like I needed some Japanese food, and so I went up and had a try. The space was pretty dark and moody, but it was open and people could see each other in their seats instead of having any booth seatings. Maybe we should just start the food here, haha...

We started with this Japanese salad, which was not very special but okay. Then we had this ricepaper rolls with shrimp filling and mango sauce. It was quite nice with a bit of sweet in the vegetable!

Then the main course came, which was a big bowl or raw food for your grilling pleasure. There were several kinds of beef, with ox tongues (bottom ones with garlic on top), two giant shrimps (in the middle) and pork.

And you can see the pork and shrimps being grilled:

And of course, the perfect wagyu meat! (和牛)

And this dinner set also includes this Fried Rice with Wagyu Slices, and it was very good without much oil and the beef was very tasty. The only problem is the size. It was pretty small to share between two people.

The whole dinner was delicious, and I must say the beef was very, very good while the giant shrimps were fresh and juicy. We also ordered two glasses of peach wine, and that was good too, not too sweet not too alcoholic in the taste.

The dinner was pretty expensive but with that quality, you may agree that every once in a while its good to treat yourself.
