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.)
