food is great, but that is to be expected for a restaurant in this price category. The reason I rated Mitsui with 'poor' is their service, and in praticular the speed with which they try to rush you through a 50 EUR / 8 course meal. If I pay this much for food I want to take my time and... More

Everything that we ordered were soooooo delicious! From the sashimi, to the fried fish, to the beef, to the soup with glass noodles, really awesome & impressive. Presentation can't be beat either. The dessert was so-so, but that's fine since we came here to have a japanese meal, not have dessert. The servers speak Mandarin, not english. The menu was... More

My wife and I ordered the NTD1,800 menu for lunch. For some stupid reason, diners have to pick identical menus. The appetizer was a boring salad, albeit with a succulent abalone (how else are they going to jack up the prices?), and also an uni on sliced carrors. Then we had a sashimi plate that consisted of toro and and... More

This is a restaurant that a person should try at least once. Expensive but a worthy experience. We had lunch at the building where Citibank is located along Song Gao Road in Xinyi. A la carte items are pricey, and can cost you an arm and a leg. We chose the set meal comprising sashimi, grilled fish, sushi, chicken, scallops,... More

We ate at the branch in Citibank tower in xinyi district. The decor of the place is very elegant, with a three storey high ceiling, dramatic lighting and velvet curtains to boot. Service was swift, the servers spoke English well and our dishes arrived with perfect timing. We were encourage to take pictures of each dish as it arrived as... More

Not unlike many of the reviews here, I second/triple the views here that this is a fantastic destination for a fabulous meal with a full spectrum of fresh and finely prepared Japanese cuisine. Must try the oysters (fresh and fried), uni (which was very memorable) and of course the sashimi. Will undoubtedly go again though it's pricey (but not for... More

I didn't know about trip advisor then, but went to Taiwan last year and ate at this place. It was highly recommended by the blogs we read last year. It was good sashimi. Very fresh and the ambiance was really romantic. We ordered a few more stuff off the a la carte menu... they have a lot of exotic sashimi,... More

Went to Mitsui for our company's annual dinner. Had a great meal of about 8 courses, largely based around various forms of seafood and sushi. The courses were thoughtfully timed so that diners didn't feel rushed and the food didn't come out cold or overcooked. The service did an excellent job of subtly pacing the meal. Standout dishes included steamed... More

We dined at the Mitsui on Nong An St. (original), but there are many other locations. Atmosphere is warm and inviting. Good for couples, parties, and business diners.They have private rooms for larger parties. The eight course omakase started with very fresh sashimi, follow by a seafood salad with a ponzu dressing. Nice and light. The juicy oyster was served... More
