Best omakase restaurants in Singapore
Omakase, synonymous with fancy Japanese fare, actually means: I leave it up to you. The “you” here refers to the chef, who would present a series of dishes centred around the season’s best produce. Fancy it may be, it doesn’t always mean that you have to spend a bomb and then some—with that, here’s a list of the best omakase restaurants in Singapore for all budgets, with prices from less than $50 a person.

- Where to go for omakase in Singapore
1. Tentsuru
Image credit: @tentsurusg
At most omakase experiences, tempura might be but one of many courses. At Tentsuru, however, tempura takes centre stage on their chef’s choice menus—a decision founded on Master Chef Daiki Kawaguchi’s love for the deep-fried Japanese dish.
There are four omakase menus at Tentsuru, each with progressively more courses. These are Koto ($120++), Tsuzumi ($188++), Uguisu ($280++), and Tsuru ($380++). Whatever your choice, be certain that a fine-dining tempura and omakase experience awaits, built upon fresh ingredients air-flown from the Toyosu Fish Market and various parts of Japan. Typically, the experience involves an appetiser, a seafood and vegetable tempura medley, a tendon or a tencha, and a dessert. All courses are enjoyed on a Japanese bar counter, with front-row seats to Chef Kawaguchi in action.

If you’re in the mood for a splurge, order the Tsuru. The meal starts with a seasonal appetiser and dish of the day, before segueing into eight different tempura offerings. Of the lot are two Tentsuru signatures: the Sea Urchin Tempura, where uni roe is actually deep-fried, instead of being served raw on a deep-fried shiso leaf—a common practice at other omakase restaurants. Also of note is the Miyazaki A5 Wagyu Beef tempura, topped with earthy black truffle shavings and a house-made komi sauce. During the winter season, diners can also expect Hokkaido wild king crab to make an appearance on their plates.
A selection of premium sake—including an exclusive Tentsuru Kura No Hana Junmai Daiginjo—along with a curated range of fine wines, is also available for pairing.

2. Hana Japanese Restaurant
Image credit: @slurpsburps
Hana Japanese Restaurant in Forum The Shopping Mall is perhaps most well-known for their ingenious flying noodle dish, but they’re also one of the best places to get cheap omakase in Singapore. There are three sets to choose from here, priced at $38++, $58++, and $88++ respectively.
Image credit: Hana Japanese Restaurant
Whichever set you choose, it’s 15 courses right off the bat: they’re differentiated by the dishes that you’re served. For example, you can expect Chilled Japanese Somen, Grilled Hokkaido Scallop with Mentaiko, and Pan-Fried Asari Butter with Garlic in the cheapest set, versus Chilled Truffle Somen, Grilled 1/2 Boston Lobster with Mentaiko, and Minced Otoro Sushi with Uni on the other end of the scale.

Their menu is divided into lunch and dinner options, with the 11-course Ume during lunch only priced at $38++. This comes with a chawanmushi, eight pieces of sushi along with one grilled seafood and a miso soup. If you’d like to try more of their sushi, we recommend paying a little more and get the Take ($53++) instead. You get 10 pieces of sushi for this one.

6. Miraku
Image credit: @blessingsloft
A lunch omakase at Miraku sets you back $88++, while dinner costs $178++—not too crazy, considering they’re located in the CBD. The midday meal gets you a seasonal chawanmushi and appetiser, nine nigiri sushi, a Wagyu uni rice roll, and mini maze don.
Image credit: @miraku_sg
Come after work, and your repast features additional Usuzukiri, AKA Miraku’s special thin-sliced sashimi. You’d also be served A4 Wagyu sukiyaki or cooked fish, and an uni ikura bowl.

The Hamazake has five pieces of sashimi and eight sushi; moving up, there’s Shiokaze ($98++), with an added cooked dish, Uzushio ($148++), and Kuroshio ($188++)—this is left entirely to the chef’s discretion.

Cho Omakase is yet another CBD gem, with lunch omakase priced at $78++ and $108++. Both comprise the same menu of two appetisers, assorted sashimi, a pair of mains, a rice dish, soup, and dessert.
Image credit: @cho_restaurant
Their dinner omakase is reasonably priced too. At $128++, $168++, and $238++, it’s no wonder Cho Omakase is popular with the office crowd in the area. The cuisine here is said to be slightly modern, with touches of European culinary styles and techniques.
Address: 63 Chulia Street, #01-03, Payswiff Private Limited, Singapore 049514

9. Jun Omakase
Image credit: @heyfoodseek

Image credit: Jun Omakase
Even if you can only make it to dinner, their entry-level experience, Nigiri, is priced at $88++. Then there’s Ume ($158++) and Jun ($208++).
Look out for their pidan tofu, AKA century egg tofu—it’s meant to be quite the treat.
Address: 3 Church Street, #01-01, Samsung Hub, Singapore 049483
Opening hours: Mon-Sat 11:30am to 2:30pm, 5:30pm to 9:30pm

10. Shinji by Kaneseka
Image credit: @bambi16
Shinji by Kanesaka traces its roots to Ginza, where Master Chef Shinji Kanesaka first established his acclaimed Edo-style sushiya. With two Michelin stars to his name in Tokyo, Chef Kanesaka then branched out to Singapore in 2010, opening in The St. Regis Singapore. Now one of Singapore’s longest-standing omakase restaurants, the local Shinji by Kanesaka outpost has earned itself a Michelin star, and continues to uphold the pinnacle of omakase dining.
Image credit: Shinji by Kanesaka
The Yume ($280++) menu is one of its more popular offerings—a seasonal journey showcasing appetisers, sashimi, cooked dishes, nigiri sushi, soup and Japanese fruit.
Address: 29 Tanglin Road, The St Regis Singapore, Singapore 247911
Opening hours: Mon-Sat 12pm to 3pm, 6pm to 10:30pm
Tel: 6884 8239

Shinji by Kaneseka is not a halal-certified restaurant.
11. Sushi Seizan
Image credit: @ohtastyfats
Edomaezushi, or Edomae sushi, typically refers to sushi with fish that’s undergone some sort of cooking or curing—this has its roots in 19th-century Tokyo when refrigeration didn’t exist. At Sushi Seizan, this is the style of sushi they serve, prepared by a chef who’s been in the line for more than 20 years. What’s more, they’re named after two Michelin-starred Seizan in Tokyo, who oversees the menu here.
With that, the Lunch Mini Omakase ($138++) comes with a wider spread of dishes, with options for top-ups. If you’re up for a treat, get the Uni Garden ($38++), where you get two types of sea urchin plated beautifully.
Address: 470 North Bridge Road, #03-19, Bugis Cube, Singapore 188735
Opening hours: Daily 12pm to 3pm, 5:30pm to 12am
Tel: 9737 1334
Website

12. Ryo Sushi
Image credit: @dondon.otoro
Ryo Sushi is a familiar name in the local Japanese omakase scene, famous for their nett pricing and affordable sets—their omakase sets used to start from as low as $18 for 10 courses! The cosy space doesn’t seat many, so it gets hard to secure a reservation here.
Image credit: Ryo Sushi
These days, there are two omakase menus to choose from: they’re both 18 courses, but one is priced at $98+++, and the Sea Urchin Menu at $128++. The latter menu includes delectable uni sushi amongst the 12 pieces you get. Look out for Chef Roy’s signature soya sauce foam, typically served with toro! Also on the uni menu is a Small Sea Urchin Rice Bowl, where Chef Roy stirs fresh uni into hot rice, then tops it with ikura and wasabi.
Address: 1 Tras Link, #01-06, Orchid Hotel, Singapore 078867
Opening hours: Mon-Sun 11:45am to 2:45pm, 6pm to 10:30pm

Image credit: @jiak.ho.liao
Lunch at Ishi starts from a wallet-friendly $98++—the Ulala set comprises seven pieces of sushi, an ikura don, starter, soup, and dessert.
Image credit: Ishi
As a splurge, the Botan set would set you back $138++, while the full Chef’s Special Omakase is priced at $268++. This includes a seasonal appetiser and Wagyu beef, while the ikura don is further zhnged-up with uni. If you’re feeling fancy, their Toro Roll ($90++) stars a trio of otoro, chutoro, and negitoro.

Opening hours: Tue-Sun 12pm to 2:30pm, 6:30pm to 10:30pm

14. Sushi Yujo
Image credit: @vanessa_kou
Only several months old, Sushi Yujo is helmed by Chef Desmond Fong, who before this headed the team at Sushi Jin. Sushi Yujo doesn’t claim to be a classic omakase restaurant; rather, they describe themselves as “modern” and “unconventional”.
Image credit: Sushi Yujo
Come at lunch for Rikai ($98++), a value-worthy set with five kinds each of sashimi and sushi, as well as two cooked dishes. At $198++, Shinrai includes a Yujo Wagyu or Toro Don, both of which are rice bowls with glazed foie gras, shaved truffle, caviar, onsen egg, and truffle sauce. The beef here is A5 Wagyu, while the toro comes lightly torched—the tuna bowl has uni as well.
Address: 165 Tanjong Pagar Road, #02-26, Amara Hotel, Singapore 088539
Opening hours: Daily 12pm to 3pm, 6:30pm to 10:30pm

15. Moss Cross Tokyo
Moss Cross Tokyo is a 40-seater diner at Capri by Fraser China Square, where you can dine in a serene, minimalist space without loud music or conversations distracting your time with your loved one. They are best known for the Shokado-9 ($150++), served in a traditional Japanese-style bento box split into nine sections.
For the best experience, start from the top right of the box, and slowly make your way down to the bottom left square. This means you’ll start with a fresh Japanese oyster, followed by bouillabaisse, which is a miso seafood soup with sea bream, crab, mussels, seaweed and more. Before you reach the end—dessert of the day—you get to try donabe too, which is essentially Hokkaido rice cooked with a ton of seasonal ingredients.

Another Tanjong Pagar gem is Ushidoki Wagyu Kaiseki—as the name suggests, they specialise in Wagyu beef.

When the Les Amis group opens a Wagyu-centric, omakase-only restaurant, it’s more probable than not that it’ll be good.

Image credit: Ginza Sushi Ichi
At lunch, you can choose from Tsubaki ($130++), Botan ($180++), and Lunch Omakase ($270++). The first comes with 10 pieces of nigiri sushi but no sashimi course; Botan includes sashimi and a dish, as well as eight pieces of sushi.

Image credit: Sushi Ashino
All, if not most, of the fish you’ll eat here have undergone curing using different methods to various degrees, though the flavour of this fermentation might not be for everyone. An omakase lunch course here starts from $165++, which comes with grilled fish, sashimi, 10 pieces of sushi, hand roll, soup, and dessert.

21. Teppei Japanese Restaurant
Image credit: @diet4what
Teppei Japanese Restaurant is one of two omakase spots in the Orchid Hotel, the other being Ryo Sushi. Here, they only do dinner omakase, and you’ll have to keep an eye on their Facebook page to find out when they release the slots for booking and for last-minute seats.
Image credit: @teppei_japanese_restaurant
At the point of writing, their current Kyoto-themed set is priced at $100++, making this one of the more wallet-friendly options on this list.
Address: 1 Tras Link, #01-18, Orchid Hotel, Singapore 078867
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 11:45am to 2:30pm, 6:30pm to 10pm, Sat 12pm to 2:30pm, 6:30pm to 10pm

22. Hamamoto
Image credit: @thefoodchapter
Before he opened his eponymous restaurant, Chef Kazuhiro Hamamoto was the face of Ki-Sho. Just last month, he won himself a Michelin star for Hamamoto, less than a year since the restaurant opened last October. Dining at Hamamoto is an experience—from the custom ceramic lacquerware to his very own house sake, hamamoto 7, which Chef Kazuhiro had a hand in creating—every element is specially designed for a harmonious meal.
Image credit: @hamamotosg
There’s only one seating at each lunch and dinner session, so reservations are notoriously difficult to secure. The Hamamoto Lunch ($280++) is the only option at lunch, simply comprising a seasonal appetiser, dish, selection of nigiri sushi, and dessert. Choose from the Hamamoto Classic ($425++) or Hamamoto Experience ($550++) at dinner; since you’re holding this golden ticket, just go straight for the latter.
Address: 58 Tras Street, Singapore 078997
Opening hours: Tue-Sat 12pm to 3pm, 6:30pm to 11pm
Website

23. Sushi Masaaki
Image credit: @iris.nihao
There are only 12 seats in Sushi Masaaki, around a Hinoki wood counter crafted from yet another centuries-old tree. Then, there’s the pink Gucci wallpaper with its dancing cranes and lounge areas for pre- and post-meal chilling. If the dark, brooding space of Hamamoto doesn’t sit well with you, Sushi Masaaki boasts a brighter, more mood-lifting ambience.
Image credit: @sushi_masaaki
The Yui omakase lunch menu here is priced at $220++ and comes with sashimi, sushi, hand roll, and a rice bowl. One level up is Sakae ($280++), which has an additional hot dish. The Miyabi ($280++) at dinner replaces the sashimi and hot dish with a grilled one; the most expensive is Ren ($380++), where you get the sashimi, hot dish, and grilled dish. Chef Masaaki’s star dish is definitely the ultra-luxe Uni Cake, topped with caviar.

24. Shoukouwa
Image credit: @amymokk
Singapore’s highest-starred Japanese restaurant is Shoukouwa—the Edomaezushi restaurant was awarded two Michelin stars at 2022’s award gala. The seafood served here is air-flown in daily from Toyosu Market in Tokyo, and the sushi rice is a blend of two, mixed to a precise ratio.
Miyabi ($380++) is the lower-priced of the two lunch menus, if you’re up for a splurge, Hana, which is also available at dinner, is priced at $520++ a diner. Both are six-course meals. The top-of-the-line experience is En ($60++), which includes a Chef’s Special dish.
