Macau adds another heavyweight to its dining map as MGM Cotai welcomes Sushiyoshi this month. The Osaka-born restaurant, celebrated for its two Michelin stars, brings Chef Hiroki Nakanoue’s inventive take on omakase to the city, blending classic Edomae technique with forward-leaning interpretation.

Chef Nakanoue says Macau’s cultural mix aligns with the restaurant’s mission of pushing boundaries. His menus shift with the seasons and lean heavily on seafood sourced directly from Japanese prefectures, enhanced with refined European and local ingredients for layered flavor progression.

The new space sits within MGM Cotai’s Emerald Lobby and draws from Sukiya-zukuri and Kare-sansui influences. A single-piece Hinoki sushi bar anchors the room, while contemporary works by Hsiao Chin and Macau artist Eric Fok add a crisp creative thread. A private dining room for six is designed in Wa-Kon-Yo-Sai style.

For its first Macau season, Sushiyoshi presents dishes such as Fukuoka Mackerel with Tofu Toast, where Kyoto cotton tofu marinated in white miso balances the richness of the fish. The Deep-fried Shrimp-shaped Taro with Hokkaido Sea Urchin leans on playful texture, while the Aomori Oma Tuna Sashimi showcases the prized “King of Tuna.”

Additional signatures include Foie Gras Ice-Cream with Caviar and a rotation of seasonal nigiri built around ingredients like Chiba Alfonsino, Okayama Oyster, and Saga Gizzard Shad.

Sushiyoshi operates by reservation only. Lunch menus begin at MOP 580 / MOP 1,380, with the dinner omakase menus starting at MOP 980 / MOP 2,580 per person. To secure a seat at this two-star Osaka legend’s newest outpost, guests can book here.
