Omakase gives diners an intimate front-row experience of master chefs at work.

Sushi lovers in Hong Kong are spoilt for choice with city-wide options of top quality sushi bars. Especially with dining restrictions finally easing, diners are sure to enjoy an evening to splurge on the best options the city has to offer. But when it comes to sushi, there is no substitute for the quality fresh ingredients and skilled craftsmanship brings to the table. As such a meticulous form of food preparation, it’s probably best to leave it to the masters. 

Here are three of the city’s top Omakase sushi restaurants in Hong Kong:

Sushi Saito
45th floor, Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, Finance St, Central

Atop the highest floor of the Four Seasons Hotel is the exclusive two-Michelin-starred Sushi Saito. The restaurant continues to live up to the reputation of its original three-starred Tokyo branch, serving Omakase-style Edomae sushi with rice from Akita and cooked in spring water from Kagoshima which is then dressed in a special blend of vinegar. Dinner at this prestigious restaurant is priced at $3280 per person but booking a table here can be difficult as reservations are only taken at a specific time on the first day of each month. 

The Araki
FWD House 1881, Main Bldg, 1881 Heritage, 2A Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui

The Araki, the latest outpost of the legendary Chef Mitsuhiro Araki, is set in an exclusive 12 seater dining area in the main building of 1881 Heritage. Here, patrons can witness first hand outstanding omakase-style Edomae sushi craftsmanship personally served by the master chef himself. An evening here will set you back $4000 per person but it is undoubtedly a unique experience to be served by one of the world’s greatest sushi masters. 

Sushi Shikon
15 Queen’s Road Central, The Landmark, Central

Nestled on the 7th floor of the Landmark Mandarin Oriental is the three-Michelin-starred Sushi Shikon. The limited seating and art-filled dining space provide an exclusive Omakase dining experience. Their Shimane abalone dish, the highlight of their delicacies, is steamed in sake for seven hours and served alongside their secret recipe abalone liver sauce. Their dinner menu of six appetizers, 10 sushi pieces, soup, and dessert will cost $3500. A list of sakes from world-renowned breweries is also curated to complement their seasonal menu.
