We waited for Uchi Coffee in Tai Wai to open its doors at 11:30am as we were afraid of the long queue that would start forming on weekends. Sure enough, the small minimalistic coffee shop started to get pretty full after just a while, so maybe itโs a better idea to visit their other bigger branches instead.
The hojicha souffle was the main reason for our visit and it surely didnโt disappoint! The richer toasted taste of the hojicha ice cream on the side complemented the lighter and fluffy hojicha souffle well, and we gobbled up the whole thing in no time.
The salmon ochazuke came on a wooden tray with a small dish of wood ear mushrooms as an appetizer. The corn, seawood, salmon, katsuobushi (bonito flakes) and rice were soaked in a flavorful broth, effectively enhancing the simple ingredients. Although it was not super fulfilling, the portion was definitely reasonable to its price.
We added $20 for special beverages on the menu. The black sesame and tofu milkshake was a little too mild, although we could taste hints of sesame and even slurp up bits of slippery tofu.

ย ย ย Read moreUchi in Hong Kong is a cosy spot that blends Japanese-inspired flavours with a modern touch. My visit was memorable with three highlights that showed both skill and care in preparation.
The Braised Beef Cheeks Pice was rich and satisfying. The beef was slow-cooked until tender, soaking up the deep, savoury sauce with a hint of sweetness. Each bite paired perfectly with the soft rice on the side, creating a warm and comforting dish.
The Daifuku Matcha was delicate and well-balanced. The soft, stretchy mochi revealed a smooth matcha filling with a pleasant earthiness, balanced by the gentle sweetness of red bean paste. It was a simple yet refined dessert.
The Osmanthus Milk Cap Iced Tea was light and refreshing. The floral aroma of osmanthus blended with the creamy and slightly salty milk cap, creating a flavour contrast that kept each sip interesting.
Uchi delivers food and drinks with balance, flavour and thoughtful presentation. It is a great choice for anyone looking for hearty mains, elegant desserts and refreshing drinks in a...
