Sushi Restaurants for Business Lunch in Hong Kong

A business lunch needs three things: a room where you can talk, food that arrives on time, and a bill that does not embarrass anyone. A silent eight-seat counter or a noisy belt chain rarely works. This guide lists sushi restaurants that suit clients and colleagues.

Business lunch picks. Impress a client in Central: Kanesaka, lunch noon to 3pm. Private rooms: Sakurada at Royal Park Hotel, business sets from about HKD 158. Mixed tastes: Hana Sakazuki in Causeway Bay. East Kowloon: Tenohira Sushi and Yohaku, lunch to 3:30pm. Allow about 90 minutes.

What makes a good business lunch room

Table separation or a private room, so conversation stays private. Set menus that arrive without negotiation. A predictable finish time. And English service if your guests are international. Counters work for small, senior meetings where the food is the point; tables work for everything else.

Central and Admiralty

Kanesaka on the 5th floor of CCB Tower, 3 Connaught Road Central, is a serious Edomae counter rated 4.9, with lunch from noon to 3pm and closed on Sundays. Diners describe bold seasoning and memorable sushi. Shikigiku at ifc mall serves sushi, tempura and teppanyaki with harbour views, which helps if your guest avoids raw fish. See the best sushi in Central and Central lunch omakase under HKD 800.

Causeway Bay

Hana Sakazuki has served sashimi, sushi and teppanyaki since 2004 in a polished room that handles mixed tastes well. It is a reliable choice for a team lunch. See the best sushi in Causeway Bay.

Tsim Sha Tsui

Imasa at The Peninsula is a fine-dining Japanese room rated 4.5, listed as good for groups and fully wheelchair accessible, with lunch from noon to 2:30pm. Omakase IKI on Chatham Road offers a quiet counter where reviewers praise attentive chefs. See the best sushi in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Kwun Tong and East Kowloon

Tenohira Sushi in Camel Paint Building is unusually spacious, with bamboo-screened sections that suit a work conversation, and sets from about HKD 138. Yohaku on the 8th floor of Ming Sang Industrial Building runs lunch until 3:30pm — handy when a meeting overruns — and is rated 4.8. See Kwun Tong sushi lunch sets.

Sha Tin

Sakurada at Royal Park Hotel offers live teppanyaki, sashimi, Miyazaki A5 wagyu, private rooms and business lunch sets from about HKD 158.

Keep lunch to time: choose a set menu, tell the restaurant your finish time when you book, and ask for the bill when the last course arrives.

Practical rules

Book a week ahead for a table, longer for a private room. Collect guests' allergies and send them in writing. Ask for a quiet table away from the counter. Expect a 10% service charge; no extra tip is expected. Check the dress code — smart-casual is fine almost everywhere. See dress code and seating rules and do you tip at omakase.

International guests? Most premium counters handle English service routinely. See omakase counters with English-speaking chefs.

Catering for the office

For a team meeting in the office, a chain catering set is easier: Sushiro's set for 8 to 10 people at HKD 1,200 includes cooked items and drinks. See sushi catering for office events.

Not everyone eats raw fish. Pregnant colleagues and guests with allergies need cooked options. Choose a restaurant with tempura, teppanyaki or cooked sets. See shellfish allergy at sushi restaurants.
