Late Night Sushi Madness!!!

'Half-Priced Sushi? THIS IS MADNESS'
'No....THIS IS SUSHI ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE'

Yes yes, I am usually not a big fan of conveyor belt sushi. It usually ridiculously over priced, the seating is tiny and i never leave with a full stomach. They always put the most expensive ones on the conveyor belt and give you the evil eye if you order the cheap ones through the order sheet.

Worst still, there is always this fat kid who sits next to the chef. Always eating the best ones before it ends up spinning your way. God Damn that FAT KID!

Anyways, enough with the bitching. So where am I taking this?

Sushi One! A usual couple couple dining experience that charges ridiculously prices. But NOT ANYMORE. After 10:00pm, the restaurant goes on a inventory clearing spree and everything on the menu turns half price. YES, 50% off. EVERYTHING. That includes Liquor!

Getting annoyed with $70HKD shooters? DONT WORRY! After 10 pm, you can get bottle of Sake for $35HKD ($5 CAD?). By $100HKD, you already will be pissed drunk on sake crawling home. To give another non-alcoholic perspective....a typical Salmon Sushi at $9HKD turns to $4.5...CHEEAPP

Of course, picture is worth a thousand words. So here are our victims for the night.
Damn, forgot a picture of my warm sake.
This was just half the meal that we took photos of, the other were a set of sashimi and handrolls. Now Sushi One is better than the average conveyor belt sushi joints like Genki Sushi, so the overall quality is pretty good. It wont be tsukiji fish market fresh (that will be Kenjo), but good enough for a filing meal. But don't try their Sea Urchin Sushi ($14)....it was nasty...they use local sea urchin so the sushi tasted like sewage.

Oh, and since Sushi One is catered towards couple, did I mentioned that every wall in the resturant chain is.....
A MASSIVE coral reef tank with real fishy swimming around. Kinda slapping IRONY on the diners face (or the fish?). I am sure Nemo isn't too happy that we are eating Doria in front his face.

Final Verdict: Go! It's cheap and good. Excellent choice for dinner if you have the midnight munchies. Especially at times when you finish a movie late at night. REMEMBER, ONLY GO FOR HALF PRICE DEAL.

Word of Caution: Due to its popularity, although the Half Price Night Deal starts at 10pm. A massive line will start forming as early as 8.30pm. No Jokes! Some HK people have no lives. So don't go there at 10pm expecting seats. I recommend going there at least 9.30pm. A good place is to go to the Mong Kok Sushi One, its conveniently located next to a Starbucks Coffee, so you can chill as you wait for your table. The wait is probably around 60 to 90 min. Avoid going on Weekends.
