Kennedy Town Neighbourhood Sushi and Sashimi Shops
Colour key: prices · what to do · cautions · places
For neighbourhood sushi and sashimi in Kennedy Town, start with Song Sushi on Catchick Street for a takeaway enquiry and Genki Sushi on Forbes Street for a seated alternative. The useful distinction is collection versus dine-in, not an unsupported quality ranking. A current, directly confirmed menu was not established for either shop.
Song Sushi suits residents comparing sashimi rice bowls, individual sushi and cooked dishes to take home. Genki Sushi suits diners who want to sit down rather than organise collection. Both appear in OpenRice’s HKD 101–200 spending category; that category is not a menu price or guaranteed final bill.
30-second decision: Taking dinner home nearby: contact Song Sushi. Need tables: check Genki. Want sashimi without rice: request a separate platter quote. For a broader dining comparison, see our Kennedy Town sushi guide.
1. Song Sushi for a local collection enquiry
Song Sushi, Catchick Street
Where: Shop B, G/F, 78–86 Catchick Street, Kennedy Town. Open Google Maps. OpenRice lists phone 2660 6630 and WhatsApp 6906 0958.
A foodpanda listing corroborates the address and includes reviews dated in 2026. This is more recent evidence than the shop’s older OpenRice reviews, but a listing does not confirm availability for your address or collection time.
Choose it for: comparing a complete rice bowl with individual sushi orders. Reviewer Phoebe Yim reported a customised sashimi rice bowl with a drink for HKD 117 in July 2023. That establishes a historical ordering format, not today’s price, portion or fish selection.
Think twice if: your decision depends on the large portions shown in old photographs. On foodpanda, reviewer Man complained about smaller portions on 3 July 2026, while Ada praised an order on 10 July. These are individual opinions, not independent measurements.
Before ordering: ask for today’s menu, quantities and collection total. A February 2023 reviewer reported no dine-in seating. Opening hours differ between platforms, so confirm them directly rather than relying on a late collection.
2. Genki for a seated alternative
Genki Sushi, Forbes Street
Where: Shops A and B, G/F, Luen Fat New Building, 38 Forbes Street, Kennedy Town. Open Google Maps.
The branch listing gives phone 2817 5522 and identifies Kennedy Town MTR Exit C. Published hours are 11:30–22:00 Monday–Thursday, extending to 22:30 Friday–Sunday, public holidays and their eves.
Choose it for: a seated meal when everyone wants to select their own dishes. Think twice if: you expect takeaway pricing to match dine-in. Current branch prices and mandatory charges were not established. Check the operator’s store locator and request the relevant menu.
3. Compare what is actually in the order
Save this comparison: record the fish varieties, piece count or stated weight, rice inclusion, sauces, collection time and final charge. A sashimi bowl and a sashimi platter are different purchases. Compare like with like before calling one better value.
For a shared order, ask whether the platter is supplied as one tray or separate portions. For mixed appetites, compare individual bowls with a shared platter rather than assuming a “two-person” label suits everyone. Our sushi portion-planning guide offers a broader framework.
Copy this enquiry: “Hello, can we collect an order for [number] people on [date] at [time]? Please send today’s sushi and sashimi menu, platter quantities, whether rice is included and the final collection price.”
Check chain takeaway sets for alternative formats, or our delivery-fee guide if collection is impractical. Delivery coverage is not evidence that a shop is physically in Kennedy Town.
4. Frequently asked questions
Can I sit down at Song Sushi?
An older review reported no seating. Confirm directly; use Genki as the seated enquiry instead.
Is the HKD 117 bowl still available?
That price comes from July 2023 and must not be treated as a current offer.
Are these shops selling ingredients for home sashimi preparation?
That was not established. Prepared sushi and sashimi orders are different from fish sold for home preparation.
Research checked October 2026 using OpenRice branch listings, Song Sushi’s foodpanda listing and Genki’s store locator. This is a researched planning guide, not a firsthand review. Current menus and direct restaurant confirmations were unavailable. Diner observations are opinions. Prices, hours, seating and platform availability may change. Maps links open searches; verify the branch.
