Central, Hong Kong｜Tempura Taki-瀧

We have ordered the 13 pieces omakase set. Basically all tempura were nicely prepared and fresh. Specially recommend the uni and basil wrap.

The Tempura Taki is a Japanese Tempura restaurant that serves Omasaki, the Japanese for chef's menu. Located in Central on Wellington Street on the 8th floor of an obscure commercial building. The premises is decorated in a no frills manner and can seat about 20 in the general dining area and another number of people in a VIP Room that has a sliding door. So, last night, around 8.30 pm, my wife and I were walking around the area and came across this place without any booking. It was quite full actually but we obtained 2 seats at bar with 3 more places to spare. We were received and served by a man who appeared to be the manager and another younger gentleman. Both gents were neatly attired in black suits. They were extremely polite and bilingual which was good. Their service was consistently good throughout the dining that only finished at 11 pm. We ordered two separate menu sets that were actually the same for some of the dishes. The taste of all the dishes was consistently high in standard throughout the service and I could find no fault in them. Upon my enquiry, the head chef, a local man, divulged his 20 years experience in Tempura and well cooked Tempura dishes certainly reflected it. Finally, the cost, with a special discount for celebration of their 6th anniversary, came to HK$2,850. Overall, it was a good dining experience and I would highly recommend this place.

Absolutely delicious meal! Thoughtful and nice service! Clean toilet! Everything is just beyond perfect!
