A pretty solid Japanese restaurant in Jakarta. We did in-room dining and the presentation was still impeccable. They use high quality ingredients and didn't disappoint.

If there is one thing that you should order, it'll definitely be the Truffle Gyu Don. The beef was tender and cooked to perfection. The truffle didn't overpower the entire dish, and the onsen egg mixed with the sauce was very creamy. The sauce itself was not overly sweet or rich. It also comes with tempura, sashimi, sushi and other side dishes. Most of them were pretty spot on, especially the prawn and scallop tempura. However, the tamago was a bit of a let down, as it was doused in too much sweet mayo. And some of the side dishes were also filled with cheese which ruined the entire bento set.

Another supposedly popular dish is the Aburi Salmon. We felt like it was a hit and miss. While the salmon was grill-torched to perfection, the mayo killed the entire dish. It was way too sweet and a little bit too spicy for Japanese sushi (maybe the sauce was adjusted for Indonesian palate). The sushi rice wasn't the greatest we've tried too.

Overall, it was still a pleasant experience and will definitely try more dishes in the future. The price point is a little bit high for Indonesia, but I guess the service and quality of the ingredients justified it. If they could perfect some of the small points above, it would definitely be a 5-stars experience.

Had great time in here. The sashimi was mind blowing, they for maguro and some fish their fragrance it with like orange and lavender. Oku black karaage was also good, inside of it there is a sauce and that sauce is the key. Hanami cocktail is good pair for having a sushi in here, based on vodka and sochu. Chirashi bowl is not just mere fish and rice, but there is umami and salty taste, this one is also nice

Very nice and classic Japanese restaurant. With fine taste and attractive presentation. Very good and friendly service and a nice private room. They helped us to prepare a projector and a screen for our meeting.

For a prestige Japanese Resto with such expensive price, actually I think the food is overrated and overpriced. The karaage is unique but actually tastes just ok. The truffle gyudon bowl tastes good but I think for more than IDR 300k, it's not super duper better than other similar dish in other Japanese resto. The service is also not really great, one of the waitress was actually quite impolite because when we asked something she just put a sulking face and didnt say ok or anything just left and brought the things to the table like unhappy with the request. Also the toilets are so dirty, quite disappointing for a 5 stars hotel. You may want to try for once since people talk about it a lot but this will not be my favorite resto.

Second time at High End Restaurant.
Ordered steak and sashimi.
Got to admit the sashimi is amazing. The freshness is just wow. The salmon smell is the best i had ever smell till that day. While the taste, no words. I just want to go back to eat the salmon sashimi.
For the steak, compare to the previous restaurant. This one taste much better.
But i just got to say the service is quite lagging. My order got mixed up easily and it end up quite slow. The good side is because of that, i got to taste the sashimi.
So overall its good.
