Disappointed with both the service (which normally isn't great unless you are VIP) as well as some of the dishes. It seems the standards may be sliding. Good thing I'm spending more of my money at Seventh Son.

Always pretty reliable food here. Service was surprisingly good this day, considering we were not regulars.

- Peter Chang added a new meal Dinner at RyuGin Hong Kong at Ryugin
The format has changed from 10 to 12 courses, and the classic hot/cold dessert has been taken off the menu. Dishes still show classic flavors as well as some modern techniques.

- Peter Chang added a new meal Disappointing taste of HAKU at HAKU
This was an invitational tasting for media people. While the dishes showcased were somewhat tasty, it was nevertheless a disappointing experience as one wonders whether the chef presented dishes with premium ingredients simply to "wow" people - without delivering real flavors.
