Local Essence, Exquisite Taste: The Experience at Ben She Buffet

Located in Central's Lan Kwai Fong, "Ben She" may be called a restaurant, but it offers a level of sophistication comparable to a five-star hotel buffet. Stepping into its space filled with minimalist Japanese aesthetics, everything feels serene and restrained, as if isolating the urban hustle and bustle outside, providing a tranquil and healing journey for the palate. The buffet options are few but carefully selected. The daily limited sea urchin rice bowl and seared sushi are delicately flavorful and melt in your mouth; Japanese grilled dishes like Saikyo-grilled black cod and thick-cut beef tongue are crafted with great skill. The desserts, a perfect pairing of matcha tiramisu and yuzu sorbet, are refreshing without being heavy. Notably, their tea pairings offer a variety of cold-brewed sencha and hojicha, adding a ceremonial touch to the overall dining experience. This place is not just about dining but more like a quiet cultural mini-journey, especially suitable for diners who prefer a refined and tranquil atmosphere.
