Ginza Kuroson Takashimaya

Excuisite presentation that makes the food looks too nice to be eaten, but eat we must as GK is the typical higher end Japanese restaurant that may just burn a tiny hole in the pocket. Still, the food in general is very good with the freshness of the sashimi very evident. As I would always say, good sashimis are those that are not scrubed squeaky clean and you can still sense a taste of the sea. The kaiseki sets are quite good valued and tasted good although I would say the grilled fish could have been better charred. The desserts were absolutely brilliantly. Loved the yuzu sobert. Other than sets, there are also ala carte dishes on the menu. The overall decor and ambience goes smoothly with the quality of the food although the service was a tad disorganised. Seems like staffing is a problem with the service team. Service was a tad slow n haphazard. 3.5 stars for me, hopefully service would improve in future.

The quality of the food is not too bad especially the sashimi. Ordered the tuna fair but felt the fish a bit too chill.. like Just gotten out from the fridge. The grilled pork neck was great but served a little slow and felt it is cold. The salt grilled kinki fish is very good. The torch charred sushi should serve when it is still warm. The perfect fried assorted shrimp and mixed vegetables Tempura were great! Another good one is the baked Gingko nut .. so perfectly bake with crispy shell that cracked easily! Good ambience with great service ..

Excellent place for sashimi and seafood in general. Although it’s more expensive than the Nakajima Suisan downstairs, the difference in quality is pronounced and evident. For one, they serve sashimi, unlike Nakajima Suisan. The fish was actually better than at Nakajima Suisan in terms of quality, and the other sides exceeded that of Nakajima Suisan. And the miso soup. Where in Nakajima Suisan it’s salty and generally not good for your health, the soup here packs a nice earthy punch from the miso without tasting salty. All in all, although this is three times more expensive than its comparatively cheaper competitor downstairs, the price hike is well worth it.

Beautiful restaurant and capable service. Unagi roll was easily double the diameter expected— it was giant, with good flavor. Sashimi was delicious. Edamame were a bit stiff and sauce with tofu gelatinous. Overall a beautiful restaurant with a gorgeous menu and could be even better with a little more attention to detail.

Had a very nice Sunday lunch with my wife here. Sashimi was fresh, though personally I would prefer not to have salmon. It was interesting choice of mixed grain rice instead of white rice, though I felt for my dish it was a miss. But I did thoroughly enjoy my grilled specialty fish. Ambience is nice for a date, friends outing, or even a working lunch. Would come again to try out the other dishes they have to offer
