Sushi Tokami — Restaurant in Kowloon

Sushi Tokami - This is my favorite sushi 🍣 restaurant. I visit every time to go back to Hong Kong. This is the best sushi place I ever have. All the fish 🐟 captured in the early morning from Japan 🇯🇵 and delivered to the store by the afternoon of the same day. Therefore, everything is super fresh. They only use onsen water from Kagoshima for all the dishes you can try and see if you can feel the difference 😍. Services are very good, they can speak Japanese, English, and Cantonese and they can answer all the questions you ask about the sushi 🍣 they have. Their seats are very limited so please remember make reservation before you go. When you finished and leave the restaurant, the sushi chef 👨‍🍳 and the server will walk you to the door and say goodbye to you. This restaurant I super recommend 👍🏻.

Compared to other ‘acclaimed’ top sushiya in HK, sushi Tokami is one of the most reliable spots to dine at. You can tell the ingredients are extremely fresh. That day I ordered the set of 16 pieces of sushi for $1200. First came the seaweed and kegani (crab) appetizer, a very refreshing dish to start the meal. Then came several white fish sushi and three types of tuna, I especially loved the otoro (the fattiest part). My favourites were the squid and white shrimp as they had a very chewy and collagen-like texture, which was stunning. The sardine was also the highlight, fatty and full of flavour. As summer is sea urchin season, I had high expectation for the quality of the sea urchin that will be served towards the end, and I was not disappointed at all. I was given a genrous portion and the uni was incredibly sweet and fresh. I also have to mention how great the anago (sea eel) was, it was very tender and immediately melts in your mouth. All in all, a great experience at sushi Tokami, the head chef and the staffs were accommodating. Will definitely...

Sushi Tokami is an offshoot of the very popular sushi-ya in Tokyo (Chef Sato-san of Hakkoku and Tokami fame).

As many reviewers have already mentioned, the owners of Tokami are also owners of a very reputable Tuna supplier in Tokyo, hence the consistently high quality of the fish (neta).

This is a great place for a special occasion (it’s rather pricey!), and definitely one of the best sushi-yas in Hong Kong.

We had about 5 otsumamis and 12 nigiris before dessert and fruits. Couple of interesting dishes that were not common (baby eel, and the tuna tossaki roll which was pretty bloody awesome). The shari is warm with a slight tang and was the perfect bed for the neta.

Chef spoke a little English and Cantonese and was engaged with all customers throughout dinner service, which is pretty impressive considering there’re 10 seats compared to most omakase counters with only 6-8 seats.

Good for: special date night, when you’re feeling bourgeoisie, when you don’t know how else to...
