Dining in Hung Hom | Sushi Tachi | Recommended: Sea Urchin Special and Sushi Tachi Soup

After watching three episodes of "Traveling Around Kansai," Waffle was feeling homesick and wanted to go eat #Japanese food. While looking for food at The Whampoa in Hung Hom, I discovered that "Tachisushi" had opened. Waffle jumped in without hesitation. Tachisushi is no longer a standing-only sushi restaurant. Not only does it now have more seating, but it also offers a wider selection of food beyond sushi. Waffle couldn't get a bite at the Causeway Bay branch the last time I visited. This time, I saw the Mini Sea Urchin Special ($99) on the menu and immediately ordered it, then slowly browsed through the other dishes. Although it was a mini version, the sea urchin was generous, completely covering the rice underneath, leaving Waffle very satisfied. Most importantly, the sea urchin was sweet and fresh without being fishy. The rice, cooked in red vinegar, had a slightly sour taste, which whetted Waffle's appetite. After hearing the wife at the next table rave about the Standing Fish Soup ($30) and give her husband a bowl to take away, Waffle ordered one to try as well. The fish soup was milky white, rich in fish flavor, without a hint of fishy overtones, and not too salty to overpower the freshness of the fish. A few tofu granules were added to the soup, which would have been perfect. After having the sea urchin rice, Waffle didn't want to order too much sushi, so he carefully selected two items. The first was the mantis shrimp with crab roe and sakura shrimp sushi ($25), which was a pleasant surprise with its rich and layered flavors. The other was the tuna nabe sushi ($49), which I had tried last time and wanted to try again. The tuna was fresh and plump, but not as stunning as the first time. The "limited-time offers" on the blackboard were very appealing. Besides the tuna nabe sushi, Waffle also ordered two other items. The live octopus (8 thinly sliced ​​pieces + sucker) ($78), sprinkled with light snow salt, was even more beautiful. The thinly sliced ​​live octopus was softer than expected, a stark contrast to the crisp sucker, making it worth a try. Finally, two small Nagai oysters ($48 each) were plump, thick, and refreshingly sweet. Before leaving, I noticed the stunning "Mt. Fuji under the cherry blossoms" on the wall and couldn't resist taking a photo. #立鮨 Address: #Hunghom120 Baker Street #WhampoaHub3Phase3BoutiqueGround FloorG9 #Waffles and Shrimp Cakes #Waffles and Shrimp Cakes in Hung Hom #Waffles and Shrimp Cakes Japanese Cuisine #Hung Hom Food #Hong Kong Food #Hong Kong Restaurant Exploration #Sashimi #wifeandhusband #blog #blogger #hkblogger #hkig #hunghom #hkfood #foodie #hkfoodie #sushi #foodblog #hkfoodblog #hkfoodblogger #Eating in Hung Hom
