Hirohisa Restaurant

The special fish of the day, which name I unfortunately cannot recall, is grilled to perfection. The skin is crispy, and the inside is layered and tender like a cod. I highly suspect it is a sablefish but don’t quote me. The fish was pre-marinated with fermented substance before and was paired with miso for dipping. The fried potatoy ball tasted good too.

The Uni Don came as a set with a savory egg tofu, pickled vegetables, and miso soup.

Miso soup is just miso soup, nothing really special.

They surprised me with the tofu. The egg tofu, when bitten, bursted and melt in the my mouth. It is one of the closest things I had to maybe a solid savory cloud. Interesting it left a lingering taste of almond, despite its savory gravy.

Pickled vegetables has sea grapes and the texture tastes like roe. They are salty and offsets some of the heaviness of the uni.

We enjoyed our omakase dinner here. $190 per person. All the dishes were amazing, beautifully presented! My only complaint was the waiter… he didn’t do anything wrong but we had a very hard time hearing what he said, after I addressed the issue and kindly asked him to speak up a little, the situation did not improve. The whole time we had no idea what he was trying to tell us the idea and story of each dish…

I also think there’s too many “chefs” back there doing the preparation. But nobody talks to the customers except the waiter (that I couldn’t hear what he was trying to say). When I dined at other omakase restaurants, the chefs always took time to make conversation with the guests. But maybe it’s just different concepts here.

I very much enjoy the beautiful and tasteful tableware here! Whoever arranges the presentation – did a perfect job!

Have been wanting to come here for lunch for years, as I first eyed on their Uni Don, the lunch special in this omakases-for-dinner-only place. Upon arrival, the external door is black and the name label is very small. The kinda minimalist feeling you get from a typical Japanese place (like Muji etc).

They opened the door at 12 pm sharp for lunch, and when entered, the evasive dashi aroma greeted me and my fellow friend. There are only 4 tables and some bar seats: no wonder why the reservations are so limited. The open kitchen is just beside the bar, and you get to watch all the preparations take place.

We ordered the Special fish of the day (got as appetizer) and two Uni Don and a Chawanmushi.

Fantastic restaurant. Incredible food. A must go to restaurant. We had the tasting menu with sake pairing and it was just amazing. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff, and a “over the top” kitchen. If you like Japanese cuisine this is the place to go. Top score!!!

My japanese friend was the one who dragged me here to try out their food (specifically the uni-don, she’s addicted I swear). She’s particularly finicky about where she eats her japanese food, so I knew I was in for a treat!

We came in for lunch, and got a reservation for 12 PM on a Sunday. It seems like for lunch, there’s a mix of people who reserve and walk in. The restaurant interior is simple and homey, with an open kitchen concept.

I will preface, it’s not cheap to eat here. This isn’t a 3 roll combo lunch special type of place, Hirohisa is a place with a streamlined, limited menu of dishes. And you know with places like these, that a smaller menu means they Know what they’re doing.
