Rave reviews brought us here. Not too difficult to
navigate from Causeway Bay Station. The place was full and no
reservations got us counter seats. With a feudal setting and dim lights,
it felt like dining in Japan…for that moment.
Plates of grated radish for their famous tamago.
Everything emblazoned with their brand name.
The Mon Salad (HKD 58)
Wafu sauce makes all salad taste good. Loved the seaweed sheets as well, yum for this!
Miso soup to kick start the meal!
California Roll (HKD 120)
Rice was too soft which made this disappointing already.
Tonkatsu
A tad too dry.
Yakitori
Chicken, Scallops
Chicken was decently juicy but scallops dry. Disappointing I say!
Ox Tongue Stew (HKD 55)
Too sweet for comfort which caused the downfall of the dish. Not a fan.
厚燒玉子 (HKD 40)
Almost everyone had amazing things to say about
this must try. Watching the chef flip the pan back and forth tons of
times over was also interesting yet it was just a huge tamago if
anything. Nothing surprising though. At least it was not
cake-like like the cheap sushi joints have them.
Service was surprisingly attentive despite reviews
that suggest otherwise. Food, however did not exceed expectations,
infact it fell short of. I’ve had better Japanese food elsewhere and as
ascertained by the hongkonger, The Mon has had
better days before.
