Menu:

I used to go to Syogun a lot before I started going to Sano Sushi. I stopped going because first I wanted to try something new, second the service was not good =/ But it seems like the service has improved..

Seaweed salad 海草沙律

Miso soup 面豉湯
- i love it =) it taste good (the miso soup @ Sano Sushi is tasteless.)

Spider roll (soft shell crab roll) 軟殼蟹卷
- I like how they only give you 4 pieces, so I can try the other rolls
- the roll is too big though! no good!

Flying Dragon roll 飛龍卷
- shrimp tempura, cucumber, avocado, crab meat, crispy flakes, salad dressing & flying fish roe
- again, roll too big =/

Eel sushi
- as you can see, no sauce on the eel =/

Sushi (flying fish roe, spicy salmon, scallop, shrimp) 
壽司 (飛魚子, 辣三文魚, 帶子, 蝦)
- the shrimp is so fresh! yummy
- the spicy salmon sushi is not spicy enough =/ kinda tasteless

Spicy white tuna hand roll & Spicy salmon hand roll
- no good! they are not spicy enough =/ there are only a few drop of spicy sauce in it
- DON'T like the white tuna =( it's still frozen in the inside!! ARGH disgusting.

Sashimi (salmon, white tuna, red snapper, surf clam, sweet shrimp, and herb white tuna in the bowl)
刺身 (三文魚, 白吞拿, 立魚, 北極貝, 甜蝦, 勺草白吞拿)
- the sweet shrimp is soo good!!! so fresh & yummy
- the herb white tuna in the bowl was ok.. nothing special
- the white tuna is disgusting! it's still frozen in the inside (soft on the outside, and hard frozen in the inside)

Beef sashimi 牛肉刺身
- it's so far the best beef sashimi compare to the other ALL YOU CAN EAT Jap place
- it's thin slice and fresh! =)

Wasabi Mussel 芥末青口
- I used to love the wasabi mussel here but the taste is not as strong as before.. not wasabi-ed enough =/
- the mussel itself is so fatty & fresh! =)

Takoyaki (fried squid ball) 章魚小丸子
- it's good! =)

Japanese style fried spring roll 日式春卷仔
- it's vegetable inside
- it's alright, nothing special..

Black cod 雪魚西京燒
- it's sweet & yummy!

Short ribs 果汁燒牛仔骨
- it's so tender! so YUMMY!! =D love it!

Garlic beef 蒜香牛仔粒
- it's tender & tasty =)

Shrimp tempura 大蝦天婦羅
- too much batter. you can see big pieces of batter on the shrimp. I have to use chopstick to crush out the extra big pieces of batter

Garlic + butter mushroom 蒜蓉牛油白菌
- the mushroom are so big, however I prefer them slice into half.
- they change the sauce =( I used to LOVE this dish, but now it just taste ok. The sauce before was white creamy buttered garlic sauce.. I asked why they change the sauce, they said the sauce before takes too long to cook =/

Golden Scallop 帶子黃金燒
- it's so good! =)
- it has salad dressing in it (a bit sweet-sour taste) yummy!

Osaka ramen 大板拉麵 (豬骨湯)
- the soup base is pretty good!
- the noodles are good! yummy!

Green tea ice cream
- dessert: only ice creams (green tea, red bean, and mango)
- the ice cream are all pre-scooped and put into the fridge so the ice cream are all frozen & hard

Environment
- the place is nice and spacious
- the place is so nice that you couldn't tell it's a all you can eat place if you haven't been told
- the seats are big, cushioned and comfortable!

More info: www.bistrobelge.com

 Castafiore (tomato, basil, garlic, and cream)
- the mussels are so fatty! SO YUMMY!
- we ordered 1kg, there are probably more than 60 mussels. I couldn't finish it =_=""
- all the mussels come with fries

Dijonnaises (French shallots, white wine, creme, and Dijon mustard)
- taste pretty good!

Roquefort (blue cheese)
- it's creamy & the blue cheese wasn't too strong, but it's still good
- even if you don't like blue cheese, it's still worth trying

Madagascar creme (Madagascar pepper and cognac)
- spicy but not overpowering

Kwak (Belgian beer)
- All beers at the Bistro are served in their company glasses, so all aspects of the beer could be appreciated. (eg. Heineken would be served in a Heineken glass. The Kwak in the above picture was served it's own specially designed glass)

Here is the mussel menu (click to enlarge)

We were sitting upstairs.. it's like an attic:
