My cousin Ben wanted to meet up for dinner since I was visiting Hong Kong for the first time in 20 years (and it had been nearly a decade since we'd seen each other in person). Originally, he wanted to take me out for some true local food like char siu rice, but then when I got back to HK from Japan, he messaged, "If we go for char siu rice, we will literally have a 15-minute dinner so I'm going to book somewhere else." And so he made a reservation at Yakiniku Great Soho, where I learned the art of eating Japanese beef with the Omakase "Great" set menu:
Beef tartare with parmesan
House green salad
Seared wagyu with browned butter and wasabi
Seared wagyu!
Seared wagyu!
Wagyu topped with egg salad and ikura
Wagyu meatball
Seared wagyu!
Rare wagyu in broth
Wagyu steak topped with uni on rice
Cold somen noodles with shrimp
Monaka ice cream sandwich
This set menu features 8 different cuts of wagyu (which are all presented, explained, and cooked to perfection in front of you), chef's recommended sides, a noodle course, and dessert over the course of two hours. File this one under MOST EPIC MEALS I'VE EVER HAD. (While I would've also enjoyed char siu rice, we agreed that this dinner was far, far superior.)
