What a coincidence tonight! Without any special arrangements, we happened to encounter the one-year anniversary celebration of Sushi Suzuki at Mondrian Hotel. Chef Suzuki not only continued to provide us with delicious dishes, but also prepared fine wines for the anniversary celebration. Thank you chefs and staff for creating such an unforgettable weekend for us! 😍
Vanessa Ng
An incredible omakase experience! Highlights included the creamy monkfish liver, a show-stopping snow crab (agemono) dish, and 7 sushi pieces. Special touches like a heart-shaped negitoro maki with uni and a surprise birthday dessert made it even more memorable. Service and presentation were top-notch. Something minor—they charged us for tea separately at $2 each, which we thought should be included in the meal, but this doesn’t take away anything from the great experience. Can’t wait to return!
Nancy Chen
Thanks for chef Suzuki and his team. Every dish is tasty and well seasoned. Especially the abalone and unagi. I really had a lovely dinner.

2. WAKU GHIN

Second time back at Waku Ghin to celebrate NYE with the family! We were inside the private dining room and had the view of the water show as well. Every dish was delicious, and having the signature dish – Uni with caviar, is the absolute best. It is a must have when you are here in Waku Ghin!
Angel Tan
Year-end dinner 🥰✨ Also my first time at this restaurant; it’s been in my to eat list since forever, hence I was really looking forward to dining here. The food was amazing and service was top-notch, so I’m not sure why they dropped down to a 1-star this year. Nonetheless, I enjoyed everything. Recommend!
Cindy
Had a lovely dining experience at Waku Ghin last Sunday. Kimi, our host was very friendly and gave good recommendations. He was very patient in answering our questions. Will definitely come back to try the omakase menu next time.

Excellent taste ! Love the Wanmori soup and its tasty zest mixed with yuzu ! Next the A5 Wagyu shabu shabu , tender and juicy . The oukado cold somen was my favorite . The noodles thickness was so thin and chewy . They were also kind enough to switch the salmon out with truffle and mushroom on rice .. the umami was perrrfffect !! Definitely would come by again ! Dessert – warabi mochi was warm and baked on the outside . Best and unforgettable taste of warmness …..🥰🥰🥰 thank you Chef Shuji!
Patricia Lim
Crab season is here. What a feast we had. Will look forward for Chef Shin to be back for his show.

4. SHOUKOUWA SHINJIDAI
Shoukouwa Shinjidai breaks away from traditional Japanese dining norms. Formalities are swapped for a rebellious punk rock vibe, with bold flavour pairings woven into a Kaiseki-inspired menu. Each dish is playfully named after iconic hits: “Like a Virgin” by Madonna arrives as a selection of sashimi topped with inventive garnishes, while Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine” showcases indulgent kegani (hairy crab) served with crab roe sauce and pickled watermelon radish. If you’re a girl who loves good food and good music, then Shoukouwa Shinjidai is for you!

This is my first itamae sushi experience, and it was great. Before I went I did not understand why people pay so much and make such effort for this experience, but I do understand now, and wanted to go again. Somehow like how I felt about Disney. 😂
Reese W
You will eagerly anticipate each dish, and your expectations will never be disappointed. Enjoy a dinner filled with surprises and happiness, exceptional service, and a wonderful experience!
Allegra Parisi
A supremely special evening. The dining experience is remarkable without trying too hard. The curation of courses worked so well and unique dishes were punctuated by traditional flavors highlighted by surprising twists. The setting is incredibly peaceful from start to finish.

5. KOMA SINGAPORE
To all my travel girlies out there, no need to book a flight to experience the exquisite taste of Japanese food! Step into KOMA and let it transport you straight to Japan! Begin your journey with a dramatic walk through its 20-metre-long torii gate passage, a nod to Kyoto’s iconic Fushimi Inari Shrine. Inside, marvel at the grandeur—a striking 2.5-metre bell overlooking a serene footbridge and reflecting pool, all set beneath a soaring seven-metre ceiling adorned with lily pad-inspired panels. But KOMA isn’t just about the jaw-dropping ambiance; its menu is a true masterpiece, featuring inventive dishes crafted with fresh, seasonal Japanese ingredients. For something truly unforgettable, indulge in the Omakase menu—a culinary tour through Japan’s seasons and regions.

Koma Restaurant at Marina Bay Sands offers exceptional service—truly professional and exactly the standard of service we all look for. My family and I were delighted not only with the food but also with the impeccable service. I would like to give special recognition to Kaye, who is the epitome of professionalism. Her dedication reflects the heartwarming Filipino hospitality that I’ve been waiting to experience. Thank you, Kaye, and to the entire team at Koma. You’ve done a fantastic job—keep up the great work and continue to serve with heart. I highly recommend Koma Restaurant to everyone!

6. HASHIDA SINGAPORE
For an omakase adventure that truly hits all the high notes, make your way to Hashida Singapore. While the city boasts no shortage of omakase spots, there’s something about the playful rhythm and light, refined flavours of Hashida’s menu that keeps us coming back for more. Chef and owner Kenjiro Hashida sticks to traditional formats but spices things up by alternating hot and cold courses, keeping your palate on its toes with delightful surprises. And dessert? Forget the predictable slice of melon—you’re in for some deliciously experimental twists. For the girls who love the thrill of surprises, you’d definitely enjoy this one.

Visted Abura Kappo by Hashida, to celebrate my birthday. Chef Yamamura made it a memorable experience for us. Food was really good too!

Absolutely the best omakase in Singapore. To be tested urgently. Exceptional culinary experience, a taste and visual capsule. Thank you Chef.

7. KI-SHO
Nestled within the elegant, colonial-style Chateu TCC, Ki-sho promises a tranquil zen retreat away from the city’s hectic pace. Does it deliver? Absolutely. Exclusivity is at its core, with a ten-seat sushi bar and two private dining rooms accommodating just 18 guests in total. But what truly sets it apart is the meticulous craftsmanship of its interiors—every element, from the gold-leaf wallpaper to the hand-laid wooden floors and custom furniture, is the work of skilled Japanese artisans, creating an atmosphere of understated luxury, perfect for a lunch date with your girl best friend after a session of pilates.

Thank you so much for the excellent service and good omakase. Our chef, Kayo and all the waitresses (Tammy and the other lady) were very nice, thoughtful, and welcoming. Happy to chat with them about the dishes and also to get to know them. 🙂 Food was fresh and yummy. And thank you guys for making this early celebration for my friend’s birthday special. That cake was very good too! Really appreciate it! 😀 We came from Taiwan and will recommend this omakase place to my friends!
