Hirohisa

Gutes Omakase mit Sakebegleitung. Der Service war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Excellent quality and service. Will visit again soon

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. 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. For the Don, there is so much uni, I cannot believe that I am saying this, but the first bite made my brain fat-frozen for 2 seconds. The Hokkaido uni, varied in colors, tasted uniformly sweet and unami - absolutely no bitterness or fishness. I know this place didn’t skimp on ingredients or preparation. The uni are perfectly aligned on top of the unseasoned chewy sushi rice, with an extra layering of perilla leaves, which took on a surprisingly cumin-like flavor. The Chawanmushi is a savory jelly custard, but with warmth. Good to pair with the cold Uni Don for some sensational contrast. When I asked for the check, they offered a cup of soybean tea to each person. I guess this is supposed to help counterbalance the richness of the uni. For the price and the portion, I wouldn’t find a better deal for Uni Don anywhere else in the near future.

Great atmosphere and detailed instructions for each course. Just a little expensive I cost more than 500 dollars for 2 persons

I love their selection of tablewares. Aesthetic dining experience!!

Our experience at Hirohisa Restaurant left much to be desired, with a meal that failed to inspire or excite. Despite commendable efforts in presentation, the flavors fell flat, leaving all six of us underwhelmed. The food, at best, was average, lacking the depth and creativity expected from a dining establishment of its caliber. The sashimi, in particular, was disappointingly bland and tough, failing to leave a lasting impression. While we appreciated the effort put into presentation, it was not enough to salvage what was ultimately a lackluster dining experience. Hirohisa Restaurant receives an A for effort, but regrettably, it falls short of delivering a memorable meal. In summary, Hirohisa Restaurant's uninspired offerings and lackluster flavors warrant a rating of 4/10. For those seeking culinary excellence, Hirohisa may not be the ideal destination

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. I got the Chirashi set, which was delicious! They included some fish of the day, and had a variety of fish that wasn’t included in your typical chirashi, and had a uni and roe as well! The rice was seasoned well, and the sides that came with it were simple but well done. My friend got the uni-don, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I also got the Yame Green Tea x Grapefruit Sake Cocktail, which honestly could be one of my favorite cocktails of all time. The tartness of the grapefruit and earthiness of the green tea complimented well with the sake! All in all, Hirohisa is a great place to go if you want quality Japanese food! It’s definitely more of a splurge place (I mean, it does have a michelin star, so it’s to be expected), but worth it in my opinion!

Great food
