The Best Japanese Restaurants For Sushi In Hong Kong

Hong Kong has no shortage of Japanese restaurants serving authentic and indulgent omakase. From Genki Sushi to Sushi Hare, Sushi Saito and more, we’ve rounded up the best sushi in Hong Kong across all budgets.

In the mood for sushi? With the huge variety of Japanese restaurants at our fingertips in Hong Kong, it can be a little overwhelming deciding which one will really hit that sushi spot (so many rolls, so little time). Needless to say, budgets can range anywhere from $4,000 for an omakase dinner to less than $20 for a nigiri. We’ve done the legwork — here’s our ultimate guide to sushi in Hong Kong (we’ve even shamelessly chowed down a couple, in the name of research of course!).
