As you exit the Sheung Wan MTR on Wing Lok street, you will notice a sign advertising an all you can eat sushi buffet. I know. Buffet + Date = FAIL. Usually. However, I am happy to report that Urawa is a regular Japanese restaurant that happens to have a "buffet", which is to say that you pay $198 HK(!) per person and order all the sushi, sashimi and cooked foods the same way you generally do at a sushi place. So no, it's not like Hometown Buffet. Not that the HTB is not awesome. The atmosphere at Urawa is certainly nice enough for a date and the staff is attentive. Very attentive. Dude, if you're going to give me a bottle of sake and a shot glass to drink it in, then fill me every time I'm empty, just pull up a chair and let's make this a three way date 'cause you're going to be at my table all night.
Everyrthing was tasty, especially the salmon, which was like buttah. However, if you get the salted mackerel, be careful. It comes whole and was very good, but at some point I ate some part that really should not have been eaten and needed three shots of Sake to keep me from thinking about the fact that I just ate a mouthful of fish crap. They made up for it with the fried salmon skin (pictured below). Think pork rinds, but with fish. White trashy goodness, Asian style!
