Food Review: Nasubi in Wan Chai - Japanese
Recommended dishes: yuba with dashi gelee (HK$98) was an excellent starter. It was cool and delicious, with the mild taste of the thin, sheets of bean curd skin taking on a slightly smoky flavour from the dashi jelly.

the duck in the roasted duck salad (HK$98) was very tough. Grilled eggplant with seafood was expensive at HK$168 for a small portion. Chicken kara-age (HK$120) came as too-large chunks of under-seasoned meat, and the coating was too light and therefore not crunchy.
On our visit, there was a separate menu offering early summer dishes featuring Nagasaki seafood.
