FUMI Joe: A Birth of a Refined Skyline Izakaya by Merging Two Unique Concepts into One

LKF Concepts is pleased to announce the opening of FUMI Joe, a refined skyline Izakaya that seamlessly integrates the best features of FUMI and Kyoto Joe. Both establishments have built loyal followings over the years, renowned for their warm hospitality and consistently fully booked tables, particularly during dinner and brunch periods. FUMI Joe introduces a new curated culinary concept, embodying a “refined izakaya,” merging FUMI’s expertise in Japanese seafood with Kyoto Joe's casual izakaya atmosphere, complemented by stunning views of Hong Kong's skyline. As more diners seek casual dining options that offer excellent value, this new restaurant’s culinary offerings include versatile, build-your-own choices designed to suit various budgets and occasions.

Inspired by Japanese tradition, Izakayas foster connection through shared plates, drinks, and conversation. At FUMI Joe, diners can enjoy small dishes and larger offerings such as Robatayaki, sushi, Tempura, and Sukiyaki, encouraging sampling and sharing. The drink programme is essential to the izakaya experience, with FUMI Joe offering a wide selection of fine and rare sake, available by glass or 300ml carafe, as well as extensive whisky options, enabling guests to pair drinks with their meals. They also enjoy whisky highball options and innovative cocktails crafted with authentic Japanese ingredients. The warm atmosphere fosters comfort, togetherness, and lively dining, set amidst a variety of flavours and drinks.

Modern Skyline Social Dining: A Playful Ambience Awaits

Perched on the 23rd floor of Lan Kwai Fong’s California Tower, FUMI Joe offers a sunlit dining area with large windows, inspired by Japan's modern izakaya culture. This 90-seat restaurant showcases Japanese warmth and vibrant city vistas, enriching the dining experience. The interactive space features a sushi counter for 14 guests and an 8-seat Robatayaki grill counter, where chefs create dishes theatrically with enticing aromas. An alfresco balcony for eight provides a relaxing spot to enjoy highballs, bites, and sunset views after work.

FUMI Joe offers a welcoming and lively atmosphere characterised by honey-toned Birchwood interiors. A modern yet whimsical mural spans an entire wall of the dining area, adding a playful touch to the space. The ceiling features a vibrant mural inspired by Japanese comics, further enhanced by neon lighting, which evokes nostalgic memories for many guests. These design elements are carefully complemented with Japanese stylistic accents, making FUMI Joe an excellent venue for casual dining and group celebrations.

The restaurant also provides a spacious private dining room accommodating up to 30 guests, decorated with Koshodo Kimono inspired by the Heian period. Furthermore, a lively red mural enhances the energetic atmosphere. FUMI Joe embodies the essence of conviviality and communal dining that is fundamental to Japanese tradition.
