Hong Kong’s top sushi restaurants
1. Sushi Saito
Landing at the Four Seasons in 2018, this bastion of fine fish by master chef Takashi Saito offers some of the most exceptional Edomae sushi in Hong Kong. The premium seasonal seafood showcased at Sushi Saito is flown in fresh daily from Tokyo’s famed Toyosu Market. Securing a reservation to delight in chef Takashi’s highly sought-after omakase menus (HKD1,980 for lunch; HKD3,480 for dinner) is an experience in itself as booking is only available by phone between 12PM and 8:30PM every day except Wednesday.

2. Sushi Shikon
Sushi Shikon is another hotel restaurant standing tall in Hong Kong’s sushi scene, this time at Mandarin Oriental The Landmark. Crowned with an incredible three Michelin stars for the past decade, the main counter seats just eight diners eager to savour the master sushi chefs’ Edomae sushi excellence. These chefs carefully age the raw fish to achieve an intense umami. Even more eye-watering than Sushi Saito, the lunch omakase course is priced at HKD2,250, whilst the dinner omakase course comes in at a cool HKD4,000.

3. Mikasaya
A more wallet-friendly option for high-quality and impeccably prepared sushi, Mikasaya’s omakase menus (HKD780 for lunch; HKD980 for dinner) are made all the more enjoyable owing to the gregarious nature of sushi chef Taichiro Motoyama. Originating in Tsim Sha Tsui over a decade ago, the chef’s loyal patrons have gladly followed him to this iteration in Causeway Bay. Chef Taichiro’s delicious homemade ice cream is a bonus!

4. Sushi Nyoi
Also in Causeway Ba, Sushi Nyoi delivers another well-priced sushi experience on Hong Kong Island. The sushi chefs at this tranquil restaurant are friendly and accommodating, crafting sterling seasonal sushi. Lunch is particularly good value for money, with the premium sushi nine-piece set costing HKD368 and the deluxe sashimi set priced at HKD408. We especially love the briny, buttery uni at Sushi Nyoi.

5. Udatsu Sushi
Udatsu Sushi is the one of the newest sushi hotspots to open in Hong Kong, the first outside the Michelin-starred restaurant’s home in Tokyo. This outpost is located within FWD HOUSE 1881 in Tsim Sha Tsui in a contemporary space designed to resemble an art gallery, hosting rotating exhibitions of Japanese, local, and international artists. Chef Hiroki Nakamura, chef Hisashi Udatsu’s sous-chef and protégé for over a decade, drives the creative omakase menus (HKD1,180 for lunch; HKD2,380 for dinner) that focus on conscientious sourcing and sustainability.

6. Sushi Tachi
Sushi Tachi is Hong Kong’s first standing sushi bar, first opened in Tsim Sha Tsui in 2018 and expanding to a further two locations since then. The chain uses freshly imported fish from Tokyo’s Tsukiji Market, rice from Fukui Prefecture, and premium red vinegar to craft its extremely affordable and extensive sushi menu. Sushi Tachi’s collection of handrolls is particularly impressive, holding around 40 varieties. We’re big fans of the tuna with chopped toro (HKD40) and red shrimp with sea urchin (HKD58) rolls.

7. Umegaoka Sushi No Midori Souhonten
Another Japanese import with a long-standing presence in the Land of the Rising Sun, Umegaoka Sushi No Midori Souhonten has just one restaurant in Hong Hong, located at New Town Plaza in Sha Tin. Umegaoka offers quality sushi at prices that won’t break the bank. One of the best sushi deals out there is Umegaoka’s 100-minute all-you-can-eat Wednesday and Thursday dinner promotion, priced at an unbeatable HKD298 per person, allowing diners to chow down on over 80 kinds of sushi, sashimi, cooked items – and even a complimentary Häagen-Dazs to send you on your merry way.

8. Sushi Hare
Notorious for being one of the hardest-to-book restaurants in Hong Kong, Sushi Hare is famed for chef Motoharu Inazuka’s meticulous attention to detail, particularly in terms of the shari (rice and vinegar) utilised to complement each market-fresh cut of fish. There’s only one seating each for lunch (from HKD900) and dinner (from HKD1,900) at this uber-exclusive eight-seat sushi counter.
Sushi Hare, G/F, 29–31 Bridges Street, Sheung Wan, 3008 4606
9. Sushi Fujimoto
Kenichi Fujimoto is the man behind Sushi Fujimoto’s moniker. Chef Kenichi was formerly the head sushi chef at Sushi Saito (see above), and he continues his dedication to the artistry of traditional Edomae sushi at his eponymous restaurant. Immaculate simplicity is at this sushiya’s core, with the chef minimising the use of seasonings in order to allow the natural essence of each premium ingredient to dazzle in the lunch (HKD1,580) and dinner (HKD2,980) omakase menus.

10. Sushi Wadatsumi
Sushi Wadatsumi defies staid mall-side dining with its location at K11 MUSEA. This long-time Michelin-starred restaurant moved from Sheung Wan to the swanky Tsim Sha Tsui shopping mall in 2021, with its top-of-the-range sushi now attracting even more discerning diners. Whether you’re splashing out for lunch (HKD1,080) or dinner (HKD2,380), we feel the omakase price tags are justified given the exemplary ingredients and service presented by chef Kin-san, a local Hong Konger who has honed his craft over several decades.
Sushi Wadatsumi, Shop 607, 6/F, K11 MUSEA, Victoria Dockside, 18 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, 2619 0199, WhatsApp 9406 3806, book here
11. Kanesaka
This sushi stunner is an offshoot of two-Michelin-starred Sushi Kanesaka in Tokyo. Kanesaka, brought to Hong Kong in 2023, is headed by chef Seiji Taniguchi, formerly of Sushi Kanesaka’s Palace Hotel Tokyo branch and an Edomae sushi genius. The chef’s seafood sourcing is obsessive, and a comprehensive list of the fresh seafood items he’s sourced from various regions in Japan can be provided upon request, guaranteeing quality and safety. Kanesaka offers four season-driven menus: the lunch nigiri set (HKD1,180), lunch omakase (HKD1,980), dinner nigiri set (HKD2,380), and dinner omakase (HKD2,980).

12. Sushi Zinc
A contemporary eight-seater sushiya located off the beaten track in Shau Kei Wan, Sushi Zinc has garnered a loyal following since its mid-2024 opening for its artistic seasonal sushi creations brushed with Italian touches. Chef Zinc Leung closely collaborates with top-tier local seafood supplier Davey Wong to design his lunch (HKD880) and dinner (HKD2,400) omakase menus.

13. Daigo
Mori-san is back! Beloved sushi master Mori Tomoaki’s sushiya in Hong Kong closed at the end of 2023, but the chef has returned in 2026 with a 20-seat space in Central alongside his long-time apprentice chef, Tony Szelung Leung. Each chef oversees half the seats in the space. The seasonal sushi crafted by both chefs at Daigo can be savoured in languorous lunch (from HKD800) and dinner (from HKD2,280) omakase menus. We’ve heard that the restaurant is already fully booked out for both chefs through early 2027!
