Keep your eyes peeled for Sushi Hibiki’s iconic fish logo to locate the elusive eatery. Dressed in muted shades of grey and taupe, the restaurant is dim, so as to direct focus to the sushi counter, where Makato Saito Sam serves up his craft omakase. Upbeat jazz play in the background, which might not be expected of most ‘serious’ sushiyas, but Sam is experimental (and a jazz lover to boot). From sushi served on orchid leaves to an impressive edamame flight featuring different soybeans grown in various prefectures of Japan, Sushi Hibiki’s dishes don’t stray too far from tradition but manage to keep things refreshingly fun.

The friendly chefs with flawless English make it engaging to sit at the sushi counter.
