Frommer's Review

The Hong Kong branch of a well-known group of restaurants in Japan, Unkai serves excellent and authentic traditional Japanese cuisine, prepared by chefs from Osaka (known for its food) and catering to discerning Japanese, who make up a large proportion of the Sheraton's guests. True to Japanese form, the elegance of the restaurant is subtly understated, an aesthetic that is also carried into the food presentation. Foremost, of course, are the kaiseki courses, artfully arranged dishes that change according to the season. There's also tempura (meat and vegetables coated in batter and then deep-fried), teppanyaki (grilled foods), and sushi counters. Since ordering a la carte can be expensive and bewildering due to the many choices, order a fixed-price meal (called a "course" on the menu) or come for lunch, when you have a choice of many fixed-price meals, including sushi, tempura, and teppanyaki courses and obento lunch boxes.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
