About
Named for its chef, Sushi Takeshi is situated in the lobby of The Mira Hotel on Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, and represents the independent flowering of a career spent at some of Hong Kong's and Tokyo's most acclaimed sushi counters. Chef Kin-san trained at Michelin-starred Ginza Iwa in Tokyo before moving to Hong Kong to work at Sushi Wadatsumi, where he built his reputation as a precise and soulful Edomae practitioner. When he opened Sushi Takeshi, the city's food community took immediate notice, and the 2026 Michelin Guide rewarded the restaurant with one star — a first-year recognition that underscores the quality of the rice, the sourcing, and the chef's command of classical Japanese technique. The Nathan Road address in Tsim Sha Tsui gives Kowloon diners a serious Edomae destination without the need to cross the harbour.
