Shiro Central: New Contemporary Japanese Dining In Central, Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s food scene just got even tastier with the launch of  Shiro Central — the latest hotspot from the popular Shiro family, opening soon (January 18, 2026) in the historic charm of Tai Kwun, Central. This all-day contemporary Japanese gem blends sleek Tokyo-inspired vibes with the colonial architecture of the heritage site, making it a fresh spot for busy parents craving quality sushi, robata-grilled goodies, and relaxed terrace moments without the fuss.

Whether you’re after a quick power lunch, after-school bites, or a leisurely family dinner, Shiro Central delivers an extensive menu of sushi, sashimi, yakitori, robata-grilled meats and seafood, plus exclusive Tai Kwun-only dishes. Led by Executive Chef Tatsuya Iwashi and Executive Sushi Chef Jeff Ko, expect premium ingredients with creative twists — think fresh, flavorful plates that keep everyone happy. You can even book an exclusive omakase experience, too! For early mornings on the weekend, try their breakfast bento.

The bonus? Outdoor terraces on the ground and first floors (including the Parade Ground Mango Tree terrace) for that open-air feel — perfect for Hong Kong’s milder days when the kids want space to wiggle.

Shiro’s established spots (like Pacific Place) are already family favorites, known for kid-friendly touches like junior bento boxes, mini sushi sets, and fun origami activities to keep little ones engaged. While Central’s branch focuses on a refined yet relaxed all-day experience, it’s a natural fit for families, introducing adventurous eaters to Japanese cuisine in a stylish, welcoming setting.
