"Hailing from Tokyo, the head chef Kakinuma is a master in ageing raw fish for deeper and fuller flavours. Some are aged together with pickled fish entrails that add exceptional umami. He takes meticulous care to keep flavours of each piece pristine without interfering with the next. Apart from sushi, Shimane abalone steamed in sake is also a highlight. The elegant interior design and artisan dinnerware befit the sophisticated food." - Michelin Inspector

Just perfect homakase menu and topnotch sushi. Sit at the counter and enjoy the view and chat with the Chef...thanks for best sushi I ever had! Excellence at its best. 4 stars for service because i had to wait 3 minutes before opening.

Simply phenomenal. A massive highlight and will return again. Arguably the best sushi in HK - each piece of aged sushi was especially delightful, and left me wanting more. Can’t wait till the next time!

I booked my one year anniversary dinner with my girlfriend at Shikon this past Friday and all I can really say is Wow! The experience was one of a kind! Our menu congratulated us with a beautiful personal touch. The ambiance was very pure, clean, and traditional whisking us away to Tokyo. Shikon’s staff was super attentive and professional. However the star of the show was Chef Kaki San and the cuisine! Each dish, be it the appetizers or sushi mains were full of different flavors, amazing and unique. The ingredients flown to Hong Kong daily from Japan were incredibly fresh. To witness Chef Kaki San plate is the equivalent of seeing an artist create a work. My absolute favorite was Shikon’s signature Abalone with liver sauce, delicate soft texture and rich flavorful combination melted in my mouth. The medium fatty and fatty Toro sushi were close seconds! Overall, Sushi Shikon and Chef Kaki San with his team provided a memorable special experience! More than worthy of 3 Michelin stars, I will definitely be back and cannot recommend dining here enough!

Ive given it 2 star not because it tasted bad but rather because it didn’t tasted great. It was such an average meal that I wouldn’t go pay more than 1000HKD (it was 3.5k lunch menu) and it was even more disappointing knowing that is it a 3 star restaurant for 10 years!! Even through is a lunch menu but i should expect the same level of satisfaction as dinner. But the fish was not any special, I also didn’t think it was exceptional selection, my favorite might be horse mackerel and uni (expected); the signature dish was not that good as well like it felt like it was lacking some texture or depth. I would’ve been happy to pay for an experience but there was no story or emotion behind it. Everything was so average and just average. But the services is exceptional as always. Also I think being at the mandarins means a certain level of quality but I was just so underwhelmed

Simply amazing. We had so much enjoyed the Sushi omakase from the beginning to the end. Thank you so much chef.

I came back to Sushi Shikon after 4 years. My had a very good experience my first time, (it was just before Covid). This time my expectation was very high, also because I read a lot of bad reviews. I chose also a sake pairing for my omakase experience. The dinner was good, not great. I was expecting a bit more particular dishes as the first time but unfortunately didn’t get any. I added to my experience the octopus and a gunkan with sea urchin which costed me 200+550hkd. I mean the experience was very good but it didn’t give me a wow effect and something to distinguish themselves from the other omakase as I expect from a 3 Michelin Stars restaurant. I felt also the dinner a bit rushed as well. Last time I had around 2:30 relaxing experience, this time in 1:30 we were done… Anyway the service was excellent which is a must for such kind of restaurant

This is my first time to Shikon. It’s quite different to other Omakase I’ve been to. I’ve realize that out of all the places I’ve been through, Shikon is the only place that doesn’t de-skin the fish before hand. The chef did it as he filet the ingredients. The way the chef slices the fish is also different, and this can truly change the texture of the fish. What I thought would be chewy can be really tender. The meticulous preparation resulted in a meal that is every bit live up to its three stars award. The Uni was done better than any other Omakase place I’ve been to. The rice has a little more pronounce taste, which brought out the taste of the Uni ever more. Shikon also has the best Kinmedai I’ve ever had. Even the usually hated Kohada taste great here 😊

I was surprised Sushi Shikon is Michelin 3 star, I find Michelin HK guide not trustworthy. To be clear, this is a branch of the original Sushi Shikon in Tokyo. The actual name of the HK branch is Shikon by Yoshitake. Food: mediocre, like one other review, I also find a fish bone in my tuna roll. This is intolerable for a normal omakase restaurant, Not to mention a three star restaurant. I don’t think the restaurant deserve any star based on this point alone. Service: good, service staff attentive and friendly. Sushi chef is reserved but professional. This is the only sushi restaurant in HK (ex-Araki) where chef and service staff noticed I’m left handed and arranged utensils and food accordingly. Overall: really overrated. I can easily find sushi restaurant with better food, similar service at half the price in HK. I recommend to go to non-branch restaurants with founder/chief chef based on HK, they have better quality and service.
