Two concept restaurants, Sushi Zo and Gishiki Lounge, are opening this month at Tai Kwun Centre for Heritage and Arts – the former Central Police Station, in Hollywood Road.

Sushi Zo, an omakase dining concept with branches located in Los Angeles, Bangkok, New York and Tokyo, will soon be adding Hong Kong to its growing list of successes.

Only two sittings will be open per day, with the number of diners capped at 14 people. The 18-dish omakase experience, which features seasonal dishes, is set at HK$2,500 per person.

Gishiki Lounge, which adjoins Sushi Zo, is a cocktail lounge heavily influenced by a Japanese myth of the Hannya.

Hannya is a character used in traditional Noh theatre representing scorned women turned into a devious-looking, inhumane form.
