Nishiki has finally introduced its dinner set menu, and I was genuinely delighted that they managed to reserve us an indoor table for two when I messaged them around 6:00 p.m. at the last minute.

The restaurant was bustling with regular patrons, and those without reservations had to settle for the outdoor seating or the sushi bar.

I ordered Set A, while Mr. Hubby went with Set C.

Unfortunately, my Set A wasn’t exactly as advertised. The sashimi was supposed to come with six slices, but mine arrived with only three and a half.

The Ika Karaage was little disappointing, it looked more like assorted leftover fried squid bits. That said, the pork chashu was tender and flavourful, although the sauce leaned a little too sweet for my preference.

Mr. Hubby found his Chicken Oyako Ni noticeably salty and ended up drinking plenty of water. On the brighter side, I had a taste of his Saba Shioyaki, and it was well-cooked with a nice, clean flavour.

The miso soup and steamed Japanese rice were the most consistently satisfying parts of the meal. While the dinner sets offer a decent variety, the execution felt somewhat inconsistent during our visit.

Kthxbye.
