Best Sushi in Kennedy Town

Colour key: prices · what to do · cautions · places

For sushi in Kennedy Town, start with Genki Sushi on Forbes Street for a seated chain meal, or enquire about Song Sushi on Catchick Street for takeaway. Both appear in OpenRice’s HKD 101–200 spending category, but neither listing establishes a guaranteed final bill. Evidence is too limited to name an objective neighbourhood winner.

Genki Sushi at 38 Forbes Street suits diners wanting tables and individual sushi orders. Song Sushi at 78–86 Catchick Street suits local collection, provided you reconfirm operation and menu availability first. Older Kennedy Town guides contain moved or closed restaurants, so the address matters as much as the name.

30-second decision: Need to sit down? Check Genki. Taking food home nearby? Enquire at Song Sushi. Planning destination omakase? Compare Sheung Wan sushi restaurants instead of assuming every local sushi shop offers a chef-paced counter meal.

1. A seated meal on Forbes Street

Genki Sushi, Kennedy Town

Where: Shops A and B, G/F, Luen Fat New Building, 38 Forbes Street, Kennedy Town. Open Google Maps. The branch listing identifies Kennedy Town MTR Exit C.

OpenRice lists 11:30–22:00 Monday–Thursday, extending to 22:30 Friday–Sunday, public holidays and their eves. Phone 2817 5522. Confirm last orders separately.

Choose it for: a casual meal where everyone orders their own selection. Reviewer Serenaconie described a comfortable two-person booth during a March 2025 lunch. That is an attributed observation, not a guarantee of seating availability.

Budget: use the current menu rather than the spending band. The listing also displays an unexplained HKD 10 per-person entry under additional information. Its purpose and applicability are unclear; ask staff what mandatory charges apply.

Think twice if: you want individually paced omakase or guaranteed counter seating. Neither is established here. Check the operator’s store locator and our Genki menu guide before visiting.

2. A takeaway enquiry on Catchick Street

Song Sushi

Where: Shop B, G/F, 78–86 Catchick Street, Kennedy Town. Open Google Maps. OpenRice lists phone 2660 6630 and WhatsApp 6906 0958.

Choose it for: enquiring about sushi, sashimi rice and cooked dishes for collection. Reviewer Phoebe Yim reported collecting a customised sashimi rice bowl with a drink for HKD 117 in July 2023. That historical price is not a current offer.

Think twice if: you need a dining room. A February 2023 reviewer explicitly reported no dine-in seating, and recent confirmation was not available. The listing gives Monday closure, Tuesday 11:30–21:30 and Wednesday–Sunday 11:30–22:00.

Before ordering: confirm the shop is trading, request today’s menu and agree collection time. Old delivery-platform labels on the listing do not establish current delivery availability.

3. Avoid outdated addresses and unsuitable plans

Save this address correction: Genki’s old Smithfield Court listing is marked “Moved”. Use 38 Forbes Street. Oonami on Cadogan Street still appears in some neighbourhood round-ups, but OpenRice marks it closed. Do not plan dinner there without fresh confirmation.

Keep the neighbourhood boundary clear. Hanamiyama Sushi on First Street is in Sai Ying Pun, not Kennedy Town. A nearby alternative should not silently replace a local recommendation. Our district guide helps compare areas.

Copy this enquiry: “Hello, are you open on [date]? We are [number] guests seeking [dine-in/collection]. Please send the current menu, confirm mandatory charges and tell us whether seating or advance ordering is available.”

Compare takeaway near MTR stations or Hong Kong sushi chains if convenience matters more than a specialist counter.

4. Frequently asked questions

Which option is suitable for sitting down?

Genki is the seated option supported here. Reconfirm Song Sushi’s seating before assuming dine-in is possible.

Are the quoted prices current menus?

No. Spending categories and historical diner prices do not replace a current restaurant quote.

Does a Kennedy Town location guarantee harbour views?

No harbour-view seating was established for these venues. Do not book either on that assumption.

Research checked October 2026 using OpenRice branch listings, Genki’s store locator and supporting location sources. This is a researched guide, not a firsthand review or measured ranking. Local evidence is limited, particularly for Song Sushi’s present operation, seating and prices. Diner observations are opinions. Confirm hours, menus and charges directly. Maps links open searches; verify the branch.
