I will probably never have the privilege of dining at Sushi Saito in Tokyo but I have to say the HK outpost is very good . Maybe expectations are raised as it’s the sister shop to the legendary Tokyo institution but on face value the quality in HK is very high .

The lunch menu which seemingly caters to the finance bros who work in the area is a speedy affair , gone in less than 60 minutes .

A quartet of otsunami start the meal , the ankimo was of high quality and the grilled belt fish unctuous.

9 nigiri follow , loved the punch of the horse mackerel , the smoothness of the akami tuna and the uni was spectacular.

It’s a welcome development that Sushi Saito seems to be much easier to book these days with their reservation phone line now open every day rather than 1 day a month .
