Restaurant review: Ebi-no-Hige serves up fantastic sashimi
Causeway Bay restaurant lives up to the hype, with very little to dislike.
spends almost as much telling us about the concept, the place, the tableware and ingredients as it does listing dishes. Thankfully, with all that build-up, we weren't disappointed with the meal.
The three set dinners — HK$580, HK$680 and HK$780 — seemed a reasonable deal as they gave a taste of the different styles of cooking. We went with the largest menu.
The appetisers were excellent — good quality sushi (Japanese sea urchin and lean bluefin tuna), a delicate steamed egg custard with prawns, and excellent salmon roe with grated radish. This was followed by a very light prawn dumpling in a subtle, clear broth.
The sashimi course was fantastic: Japanese amberjack, medium-fatty bluefin, sea bream and northern prawn, all served on crushed ice on a beautiful plate. Moist, perfectly cooked salt-grilled rosy sea bass was another highlight of the meal.
