Sushiro (Wong Tai Sin) — Restaurant in Kowloon

SUSHIRO, I have been told; it may take few hours for you to get a table. Although, I only had been to the one in Japan, therefore I would like to try this chain restaurant in Hong Kong.

Today I went to this restaurant in Wong Tai Sin for lunch. It wasn't as busy as I thought, perhaps, today is Monday therefore not many people. It only took 5 minutes (arrived at 12:30) for me to get the number to sit down.

Start from cleaning, I got chopsticks from the box, and it was dirty. I called the waitress and told her to aware of the hygiene. That was my first impression, dirty.

I started with of course sushi, mainly shellfish and clam. Most of them taste good, however, the sushi rice was too big.

The prawn tempura roll was disappointed. The tempura was cold, the batter was soft, and the prawn was not fresh. The roll was too loose, it fell apart when picked it up. However, interestingly, inside the roll has a piece of egg roll (tamagoyaki) instead of avocado or cucumber.

I order an extra egg roll (tamagoyaki) sushi, it was as sweet as eating sugar.

I have to say the chef’s cutting skill was brilliant. The clam on sushi was cut as thin as paper. As the result, I can only taste the sushi rice, instead of the clam meat.

Ramen was the most disappointed. the meat was so fatty and chewy, the noodle tastes like chemical. The soup was the most disgusting Japanese noodle soup I ever had. It was gluggy and salty. It feels like eating instant noodle in thick congee. I would highly discourage trying it.

10 pieces of sushi and a bowl of ramen, cost HK$171.

It was truly overrated. For this price and taste, I would rather go to the Japanese supermarket to get some sushi box and instead noodle.

But for those who like to spend money and wait in a long queue, I would suggest you re-think...

Sushiro is notorious for having long queues -- arrive after 6pm and expect at least a 2 hour wait before getting seated. Nonetheless, the sushi isn't really that out of the world either, paling in comparison to bona fide omakase places. Indeed, to compare sushiro to most omakase places would be like comparing a Toyota Camry to a Lamborghini.

Still, where Sushiro excels is it's price to performance ratio as well as how consistent the food is. The sushi is always very good if not excellent, the seafood is always fresh, the service is fast, and place is always clean and hygienic. Ordering is done via an tablet, while convey belt sushis are...

Avoid mini rice nigiri, fish on top also comes in mini size but they charge same price as regular version.

✅ Recommend sea whek sushi served on in 2 ways 海螺兩食 and ebi nigiri赤蝦一貫.

❌ Avoid squid wasabi sushi 魷魚秋葵和布蕪軍艦 looks disgusting hardly any squid just bunch of slimy green stuff sitting on the rice contained by soggy seaweed.

Not as good as they used to be when first opened in Hong Kong, mostly low value fishes and lots of salmon in their menu. Well …u get what u paid for. Friendly and polite staff in this branch, arrived 11:45am sat morning can go...
