  食物偏咸

  Jo | Jul 26 2011

  去完旅行回來只係想食中國菜/日本菜, 星期六工作完畢又怕等位, 最後同友人來此店食飯就算.
  
  2條餓鬼叫左客唔知咩名壽司, 什錦天婦羅, 滑蛋蜆肉飯, 日式炸豆腐及再追加皇帝菜炒什菌.
  
  5樣食物當中我最喜歡都係天婦羅炸得唔油d蝦亦好好味, 至於同樣都係炸既豆腐就覺得偏油又無味道, 最咸係個炒菜唔知點解味道都唔算特別, 至於個蜆肉飯都係偏咸幸好有d飯配送

  Good Option if you

  EdEats | Sep 28 2009

  The key to success: stick with the fun stuff and avoid the classics. Classic sashimi and sushi are not the highlights here so you can give them a miss unless you really must. It's an Izakaya for heaven's sakes.
  
  What we had fun with and enjoyed:
  
  The Japanese omelette stuffed with eel.
  
  The carpaccio of salmon, yellowtail with a light dressing - The dressing on this dish made the difference - with a Japanese twist, the tang was nicely balanced with the soya and dusted wtih crushed pepper, it was quite an appetiser. Only complaint - the octupus was too chewy. If you order this, see if they can substitute with more fish and give Octopussy a miss. Other complaint: this was forgotten and came after we ate most of our other food.
  
  Hamburger Steak Sushi - An interesting combination of 2 classics. Wasn't spectacular but few can complain about Japanese style hamburg steak.
  
  Crab meat pizza - The pizzas were surprisingly very good - thin crust and generous toppings. The crab meat pizza was our favourite, followed by the teriyaki chicken. Given the salmon a miss since we thought it was less than mediocre.
  
  Korean style Kimchi fried rice - Surprisingly tasty and made even better with the bacon and eggs. It was actually the first dish to arrive (did I say service is a little weird here) and the hungry wolves polished this off in about 45 seconds flat.
  
  Curry hotpot - This took a long time coming and we were hoping to cancel since we were quite stuffed but they charged us for it and insisted that they were already preparing it. It wasn't bad at all especially if you like your Japanese curry but we would have enjoyed it a lot more if it came in the thick of dinner. Generous chucks of prawns, scallops, clams, chicken and accompanied by lots of cabbage, potatoes and carrots made the soup very sweet and drinkable.
  
  Lest I forget, the drinks list is pretty incredible- both alcoholic and non. I enjoyed my white peach calpico a lot! Very thirst-quenching!
  
  While I won't go out of my way to eat at Shirokiya, it is a worthwhile option if you want to check out the humongous MegaBox mall in Kowloon Bay. Make sure you're in a good mood since the service can be a little trying too.
