Phoenix Sushi Description

Phoenix Sushi has a loyal following who regularly claim one of 20 available seats on any given night. Arriving without a reservation is pointless, and aiming for a weeknight booking is your best shot.

You might wonder how this omakase joint, led by a chef from Anhui, has become so popular. First of all, Chef Dong has worked in Japanese restaurants since 2003, most notably as an apprentice at Kenji Naramoto’s eponymous upscale sushi restaurant on Yongjia Lu. The other reason is that the most expensive set at Sushi Phoenix costs just RMB398, which is a bargain compared to similar establishments around town.
