2 japanese rooms worth the trip across Hong Kong, editor-ranked. All cuisines in Hong Kong.
Sushi Shikon ★ 4.9 · Hong Kong
central · 15 Queen's Road Central, Central, Hong Kong
Sushi Shikon at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental is the Hong Kong outpost of Tokyo's Sushi Yoshitake, holding three Michelin stars for an eight seat omakase counter trained in the Yoshitake lineage.
Tip: Lunch service is the same omakase at a slightly lower price; book the moment the calendar opens.
Yardbird ★ 4.6 · Hong Kong
sheung-wan · 154-158 Wing Lok Street, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong
Yardbird in Sheung Wan is Matt Abergel and Lindsay Jang's yakitori izakaya with one Michelin star, serving 20 plus skewers from local three yellow chickens over binchotan charcoal.
Tip: Order the Mei Hua chicken whole when you book; it sells out by 21:00 and is the kitchen's headline dish.
