⚡ Quick Navigation
⭐ The Michelin Guide
💡 Key Point: The Michelin Guide Hong Kong & Macau is the headline award, announced around March each year. In the 2026 guide, Sushi Shikon retained 3 stars, while Sushi Wadatsumi, Sushi Tokami, and the new Sushi Takeshi held 1 star; Sushi Saito notably lost its star.

💡 Using Awards
Awards are a strong shortlist, but the scene moves — stars are gained and lost yearly. Treat a current award as a reliable signal and an older one as a starting point to verify.
⭐ Pro Tip: The Michelin Guide (announced ~March) is the most authoritative signal, but standings change yearly — Sushi Saito lost its star in 2026. Always check the current edition rather than relying on past accolades.
