It was my first time dining at Grand Hyatt. Besides the colorful Japanese cuisine, the cafe is also quite famous, but I haven't tried it yet. This restaurant specializes in Japanese dishes. I dined there on a Sunday evening; the price for one adult was $1780 plus service charges. I used the birthday discount for the month, so for four people, one person ate for free, which brought the total to about $1500 per person.

Here are some items I noted down that are must-tries: salmon sashimi, deep-fried whole shrimp (with shell on skewers), grilled flounder, grilled salmon, hand rolls with selectable fillings, red bean soup (with optional purple rice), Japanese imagawayaki, and the ramen broth was surprisingly impressive. The catch of the day was red grouper, and there was also a special large octopus.

The portions were not very large, but everything was quite delicately presented and had a good Japanese vibe. I think the quality was quite good, and I highly recommend the grilled flounder; it was incredibly delicious, even better than many Japanese dishes outside! Other than the recommended dishes, nothing else was really disappointing, although the Japanese desserts looked just okay, so I didn’t take many more.

Overall, although the selection was a bit less than I expected, everything tasted quite good. My first visit to the Grand Hyatt was beautiful; the atrium had a large Christmas tree. After the meal, it's nice to stroll around and take some photos.
