EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED I booked this place for our anniversary, but it was a huge disappointment. The restaurant has changed hands and lost all its warmth—no celebratory touches, no dessert platter, nothing. The waitress kept pushing sashimi and stood awkwardly by our table, rus

I **don’t know** a Hong Kong restaurant specifically called **“Chef Kam - Japanese Cuisine”** from the results provided, so I can’t reliably describe its cuisine, neighbourhood, or reservation policy. The search results instead point to other, similarly named places such as **Kam’s Roast Goose** in **Wan Chai** serving **Cantonese roast goose**[3], and several unrelated Japanese restaurants in **Central** and **Sheung Wan**[4][5][12][19]. If you meant a different venue name, send the exact spelling or address and I can try again.
# 5 Best Japanese Restaurants in Hong Kong I should note that my information has a knowledge cutoff, and restaurant rankings are subjective. Here's a list based on reputation: 1. **Sushi Shikon** - Michelin-starred sushi restaurant known for premium omakase and exceptional craftsmanship 2. **Sushi Tetsu** - High-end sushi counter with focus on quality fish and traditional techniques 3. **Nakamura** - Fine dining Japanese cuisine with kaiseki and seasonal menus 4. **Mizutani** - Upscale sushi establishment recognized for attention to detail and ingredient quality 5. **Kiji** - Popular Japanese spot offering authentic ramen, donburi, and casual dining **Important caveats:** - Rankings vary by cuisine type (sushi vs. ramen vs. kaiseki) - Restaurant quality, hours, and availability change frequently - Prices and Michelin status may have changed since my last update **Recommendation:** I'd suggest checking recent reviews on Google Maps, Michelin Guide, or local Hong Kong dining guides (like Timeout or local food blogs) for current information on availability, pricing, and recent visitor experiences. What type of Japanese cuisine are you most interested in? That might help narrow down better recommendations.

Here is a ranked list of 5 of the best Japanese restaurants in Hong Kong, based on culinary excellence, reputation, and overall dining experience: 1. **Sushi Shikon** (3 Michelin Stars) – Widely regarded as the pinnacle of Edomae-style sushi in Hong Kong. The experience is intimate, precise, and every piece of sushi is a masterclass in technique and ingredient sourcing. 2. **Sushi Saito** (2 Michelin Stars) – A direct outpost of the legendary Tokyo restaurant. Known for its flawless rice, impeccable sourcing, and a refined, gracious omakase that rivals its Japanese parent. 3. **Ten Shin** (2 Michelin Stars) – The go-to spot for *kaiseki* (traditional multi-course haute cuisine). The chef’s meticulous approach to seasonal ingredients and beautiful presentation makes it a standout for a serene, sophisticated meal. 4. **Ta-ke** (1 Michelin Star) – A more modern and creative take on Japanese cuisine. The tasting menu is theatrical and innovative, balancing tradition with bold flavors and plating, offering a distinct alternative to the strictly classic restaurants. 5. **Yardbird** (Michelin Bib Gourmand) – While not fine dining, it is arguably the best modern *yakitori* (grilled skewers) experience in the city. The vibrant, energetic atmosphere and exceptional charcoal-grilled chicken and vegetable skewers make it an unmissable, casual Japanese favorite.

我book 位時remark 左係慶祝周年紀念日,呢間餐廳轉咗手之後就冇晒會幫人慶祝嘅任何儀式。 你見到佢啲圖好似會幫人慶祝擺盤擺得好靚,嗰啲全部都係識個師傅嘅嗰啲客先有嘅待遇。呢間餐廳轉咗手之後冇人食,全部都係book房,師傅啲朋友。餐廳對街客完全冇服務態度可言,個女侍應不斷就係咁Sell人哋叫唔叫刺身,然後係唔知因為冇客定點啦,佢就一直企咗喺我哋嗰台隔離,你一食完一碟佢就即刻收走你隻碟極度趕客。 呢間餐廳以前我一年都嚟食一兩次,如果你Remake或慶祝生日或者周年紀念嘅話,佢會問你加唔加一個甜品拼盤,而家乜Q都唔會問你,咁你就唔好話問人哋係咪嚟慶
