Sushi Zo

Central·$$$

Sea Urchin and Eel Sequence

Hokkaido uni and anago (seawater eel) served in rapid succession.

Tip: This two-piece sequence demonstrates the chef's mastery of progression. The subtle flavours and textural shift showcase refinement often missed at less experienced omakase shops.

Sushi Saito

Central·$$$$

Seasonal White Fish

Premium white fish rotating with season — typically flounder, sea bream or snapper.

Tip: This course represents true Edomae technique — simplicity, precision, respect for the ingredient. No tricks, no heavy sauces.

Sushi Saito

Aged Toro Nigiri

Fatty tuna aged for maximum umami and tender texture.

Tip: If you've had good toro elsewhere, this will change your expectations. The difference between 1-day aged and Saito's method is remarkable.

Aged Toro with Truffle Caviar

Fatty tuna topped with Australian winter truffle and lumpfish caviar.

Tip: This is the most photographed dish at Sushi Zo — the visual contrast of black truffle, red toro and gold caviar is striking. Feel free to snap a pic before eating.

Kushiro

Tsim Sha Tsui·$$$

Hokkaido Sea Urchin with Caviar

Premium uni topped with caviar for layered umami and textural contrast.

Tip: This course demonstrates the umami layering philosophy — creamy uni + salty caviar + delicate rice = sophisticated depth. The progression shows how each element enhances the others.

Sushi Mamoru

Wan Chai·$$$

Aged Toro and Chu-Toro Progression

Evolution of fatty tuna from medium-fat to premium belly, demonstrating aging progression.

Tip: This progression demonstrates the aging philosophy — observe how flavour deepens and texture transforms as aging extends from 3 to 7 days. Chef Chiba explains each piece's aging timeline.

Sheung Wan·$$$

Seared Toro Nigiri

Fatty tuna lightly seared and served as nigiri sushi.

Tip: This course represents kappo philosophy — it's neither pure raw omakase nor fully cooked kaiseki. It's the chef's creative interpretation of both traditions.

Sushi Shikon

Central·$$$$

Aged Toro Nigiri

Premium fatty tuna belly aged for peak umami and marbling.

Tip: Pay attention to how the chef grips the rice and fish — the angle and pressure affect how it sits on your palate and dissolves. This level of detail is why three stars were awarded.

Udatsu Sushi

Tsim Sha Tsui·$$$

Aged Toro Nigiri

Fatty tuna aged for textural refinement and maximum umami.

Tip: All 12 seats are at the counter, so you have front-row access to the chef's technique and real-time commentary on every piece.
