Sushi Man is opened by Chef Cupid - a young and passionate sushi chef who was trained in Hong Kong and, according to him, spent a lot of money eating at all of the sushi restaurants in Ginza on a trip once to improve his craft. I was so in shock that I forgot to ask him which restaurant was his favorite (oops).
The decor inside is similar to what you would find in a sushi restaurant in Tokyo with a L-shaped 10 seat counter but a lot more spacious with additional tables in the back for group dining as well.
Lunch omakase starts at a very reasonable price of $180 while dinner starts from $600-$1300. We were here to try the $1300 omakase dinner and during the meal, we also got to try 3 different types of sake where we were treated to a $8000 bottle of sake - which turned out to be my favorite out of the 3 (unsurprisingly)!
I had quite a few Torigai (鳥貝) during my recent Japan trip and I was glad to see this in Hong Kong. It was very much alive and still moving when we were served this!
The abalone was probably my favorite tsumami of the night as it was soft and tender which went perfectly with the accompanying rich sauce made from abalone liver. The sauce was so good we were given a rice ball to finish it off with so we don't waste a drop of it!
We got treated with a mix of Murasaki and Bafun Uni together as a gunkan-maki which I wasn't sure worked for me because the bafun uni tends to be creamier and richer in flavor - hence overpowering the other type of uni.
Verdict - while this may not substitute a trip to Tokyo, Sushi Man delivers solid sushi that is excellent in value for the price while it is great for those who will no longer have to trek to Hong Kong Island for quality sushi!
