Wan Chai, Hong Kong｜一木小料理 Kitchen Ruto

We had the set dinner here and chose different dishes and shared. It was all Japanese style home cooking. Price was more than reasonable and taste was excellent.

Small, cosy restaurant with delicious food. Had the braised beef tendons in yuzu, beancurd with miso, pork chop, okra and black fungus in yuzu, marinated squid (as pickles), and mentaiko rice in tea. Total seating of probably abt 26 pax, so best to make a reservation before going. Service was also top notch. Tea was their own blend and the bouquet was distinctly fragrant.

<A Nice Japanese Restaurant in Wan Chai> I was wandering along Amoy Street in Wan Chai after working out in the hood to see what I can get for dinner. I came across Ruto, thinking that I have been wanting to try this Japanese restaurant for quite some time. The dinner menu looks good, so I decided to give it a try. For HKD$108, you get an appetizer, a vegetable, a main and a bowl of rice together with a cup of Japanese tea. Very reasonable indeed. The 2 pieces of Mild Spicy Cod Roe Tamagoyaki definitely got my heart! The slightly sweeten tamagoyaki was very smooth and enjoyable. The spicy cod roe was definitely my thing! It went well as seasoning for the rice too. I opted for Beetroot Sweet Potato Croquettes as vegetable. The freshly fried croquettes were so delicious and special! Love the refreshing beetroot. The main of Salmon Marinated in Vinegar Sauce was perfect for a warm and humid spring night. The vinegar sauce was quite unique, it’s actually my first time to have salmon in a sour dressing. Very interesting indeed. Would love to visit Ruto again for its affordable, healthy and tasty meal set.
