The 10 Best Sushi Restaurants in Singapore

Singapore's strongest sushi and omakase counters, from Michelin-starred Edomae rooms to more accessible chef-led picks.

Reviewed by our editors · Updated July 2026 · How we rank

Our verdict: Shoukouwa is the best sushi restaurant in Singapore right now - singapore's most complete luxury sushi counter. Sushi Sakuta runs it closest.

Choosing a sushi restaurant in Singapore is mostly about format, budget and how much ceremony you want. The top end is dominated by small counter omakase rooms where rice temperature, fish ageing, vinegar balance and chef pacing matter as much as luxury ingredients.

For a wider price spread, we included both destination sushi counters and reputable omakase restaurants that still put seafood, nigiri or seasonal Japanese produce at the centre. Book early for the most serious counters, and check lunch menus if you want a gentler entry point.

Shoukouwa
89/100
Two-MICHELIN-starred Edomae sushi counter at One Fullerton using seafood from Toyosu Market.

THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Shoukouwa is the counter we would pick when the brief is precision first. The rice has presence without shouting, the seafood programme is strong, and the room keeps distractions low so each piece gets proper attention. It is not the most relaxed or spontaneous sushi meal in town, and the bill is firmly special-occasion territory. Still, for diners who care about Edomae technique, ingredient quality and a polished rhythm from start to finish, it remains the Singapore address to beat.
Why Shoukouwa made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It takes the top spot for its rare combination of two-MICHELIN-star recognition, Toyosu-led sourcing, disciplined Edomae technique and a focused counter format that consistently appeals to serious sushi diners.
Shoukouwa is one of Singapore's clearest benchmarks for high-end Edomae sushi. The restaurant runs a small, formal counter at One Fullerton and focuses on seafood flown from Tokyo's Toyosu Market, served through lunch and dinner omakase menus. Its cooking is built around classical nigiri, careful rice seasoning and a restrained room where the chef's pacing matters. The restaurant is also one of the few sushi specialists in Singapore with two MICHELIN stars, which reflects its consistency, ingredient sourcing and service discipline. It is best suited to diners who want a serious, quiet, top-tier sushi meal.

Sushi Sakuta
88/100
Refined Mohamed Sultan sushi restaurant known for premium omakase and a highly controlled counter experience.
11 Mohamed Sultan Road, #01-02, Singapore 239010

$$$$ price range
“Luxury omakase with real technical depth.” - our editors
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Sushi Sakuta feels expensive in the way a top omakase room should: measured service, beautiful produce and a counter that takes timing seriously. The meal leans luxurious, but it avoids feeling flashy for its own sake. What stands out is how carefully the progression is built before the nigiri arrives, giving the dinner more shape than a simple parade of premium fish. The trade-off is obvious: this is not a flexible or value-led booking, and it is best saved for diners who want the full fine-dining treatment.
Why Sushi Sakuta made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It ranks this high because it has become one of Singapore's strongest modern luxury sushi rooms, with serious technique, premium sourcing and a reputation that reaches beyond regular Japanese fine-dining circles.
Sushi Sakuta is a luxury sushi and Japanese dining room on Mohamed Sultan Road, built around counter omakase and premium seasonal produce. It has quickly become one of Singapore's most discussed fine Japanese restaurants, with strong recognition for its sushi, seafood handling and discreet hospitality. The experience is polished and expensive, with the sort of pacing, tableware and product selection expected from the upper tier of Singapore omakase. Diners come for a composed sequence of otsumami, nigiri and seasonal courses rather than casual sushi. It suits guests looking for a celebratory, chef-led meal in a calm setting.

Shinji by Kanesaka
87/100
Tokyo Ginza-style sushi counter with long-standing MICHELIN recognition in Singapore.
76 Bras Basah Road, Lobby Floor, Carlton Hotel Singapore, Singapore 189558
shinjibykanesaka.com
$$$$ price range
“A classic benchmark with staying power.” - our editors
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Shinji by Kanesaka has the confidence of a restaurant that does not need to chase trends. The counter experience is precise, calm and deeply traditional, with the sushi doing most of the talking. Compared with newer luxury rooms, it may feel less dramatic in presentation, and some diners may prefer a more personal or contemporary style. But for balanced rice, clean knife work and a Ginza-style mood in central Singapore, it is still one of the safest high-end bookings.
Why Shinji by Kanesaka made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It earned a top-three place for longevity, technical consistency and its role in setting Singapore diners' expectations for proper Tokyo-style sushi omakase.
Shinji by Kanesaka is one of Singapore's established names for traditional sushi omakase, connected to chef Shinji Kanesaka's Ginza lineage. The Carlton Hotel counter is the better-known address, with a setting designed around direct chef interaction and a classical sequence of seasonal items and nigiri. Its appeal is old-school: polished service, disciplined craft and a clear respect for Tokyo sushi traditions. It has held MICHELIN recognition in Singapore and remains a reliable choice for diners who want a serious Japanese counter without experimental theatrics. Lunch is often the more approachable way to experience it.

Sushi Kimura
86/100
Chef-led Orchard sushi counter known for aged fish, careful rice work and a restrained Edomae style.
390 Orchard Road, #01-07 Palais Renaissance, Singapore 238871
sushikimura.sg
$$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Sushi Kimura is for diners who enjoy the quieter technical side of sushi. The best moments are not always the richest cuts, but the pieces where ageing, seasoning and rice temperature line up cleanly. It feels more intimate than many luxury counters, which is part of its appeal. The trade-off is that it can be less immediately showy than restaurants built around rare ingredients and dramatic service. For sushi purists, that restraint is exactly the point.
Why Sushi Kimura made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It remains one of Singapore's most respected sushi counters because of its Edomae focus, chef-led personality and reputation for careful ageing, curing and rice calibration.
Sushi Kimura is a respected Orchard Road sushi counter centred on chef Tomoo Kimura's Edomae approach. The restaurant is known for ageing and curing techniques, premium Japanese seafood and rice seasoned to match different fish. Its compact room and counter format keep the focus on the chef's sequence rather than ambience or broad menu choice. It has been recognised in Singapore's fine-dining scene for its traditional craft and is especially valued by diners who notice texture, temperature and vinegar balance. This is a serious sushi restaurant, but slightly more personal and less grand than some hotel counters.

Sushi Ichi Singapore
84/100
Ginza-origin sushi restaurant in Orchard with a formal counter and seasonal omakase menus.
320 Orchard Road, #01-04 Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel, Singapore 238865
sushi-ichi.com.sg
$$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Sushi Ichi is a strong choice when you want the structure of a proper sushi omakase without disappearing into an ultra-private dining room. The Orchard location is practical, the counter is polished, and the meal has enough classical discipline to satisfy serious sushi fans. It is not the boldest or most intimate counter on this list, and the hotel setting slightly softens the edge. The upside is reliability: it works well for business meals, special occasions and diners new to high-end sushi.
Why Sushi Ichi Singapore made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It was selected for its Ginza roots, MICHELIN-level reputation, convenient Orchard location and dependable execution across seasonal Japanese omakase menus.
Sushi Ichi Singapore brings a Ginza sushi format into the Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel, with a counter-led omakase built around seasonal seafood and traditional Japanese technique. The restaurant is known locally as a polished, high-end option for diners who want a central Orchard location and a formal sushi meal. The menu typically moves through cooked seasonal dishes, sashimi and nigiri, with attention placed on product quality and counter pacing. Its hotel setting makes it easier to access than some more discreet omakase rooms, while still keeping the mood refined and chef-led.

Sushi Masaaki

South Beach sushi omakase counter known for warm service, premium produce and polished presentation.
26 Beach Road, #B1-17 South Beach Avenue, Singapore 189768
sushimasaaki.com
$$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Sushi Masaaki's strength is how it combines serious product with a more relaxed counter personality. The nigiri is polished, but the meal also has a sense of theatre and generosity that makes it easy to enjoy even if you are not a sushi obsessive. Some purists may prefer a quieter, stricter Edomae room, and the pricing still requires planning. For many local diners, though, this is one of the most enjoyable premium sushi bookings because the hospitality feels as considered as the fish.
Why Sushi Masaaki made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It deserves its place for combining high-quality omakase with a more approachable counter mood, making it a strong bridge between purist sushi rooms and celebratory dining.
Sushi Masaaki is a South Beach Avenue omakase restaurant led by chef Masaaki Sakashita, with a strong following for its lively hospitality and premium sushi counter format. The restaurant balances fine ingredients with a warmer, more personable style than many hushed luxury counters. Diners can expect seasonal Japanese seafood, composed appetisers and nigiri served in a compact setting. It is often recommended for guests who want omakase quality without an overly stiff mood. The experience still sits in the premium category, but the room feels welcoming enough for repeat meals as well as celebrations.

IYASAKA by Hashida
82/100
Chef Kenjiro Hashida's Sentosa omakase counter mixing Japanese tradition with contemporary touches.
Raffles Sentosa Singapore, 4 Bukit Manis Road, Singapore 099947
+65 8129 5336 contact@hashida.sg hashida.sg
$$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
IYASAKA by Hashida is the most expressive entry here. Chef Hatch's food has personality, and the Sentosa setting gives the meal a different rhythm from city sushi counters. It is especially good for diners who like Japanese technique but want more than a linear nigiri progression. The honest trade-off is that sushi purists may find it too broad for a sushi-specific craving. Treat it as a Japanese omakase with strong seafood credentials, not as a replacement for Shoukouwa or Shinji.
Why IYASAKA by Hashida made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It was included for chef Hashida's reputation, premium seasonal Japanese sourcing and intimate counter format, while offering a more creative alternative to strict Edomae sushi menus.
IYASAKA by Hashida is chef Kenjiro 'Hatch' Hashida's current Singapore restaurant, now located at Raffles Sentosa Singapore. It is not a pure sushi-only counter, but it belongs in this ranking because its omakase is built around premium seasonal Japanese ingredients, counter seating and a chef-led format that sushi diners appreciate. The restaurant presents traditional Japanese dishes with contemporary touches, and its menus change with produce availability. With only chef's counter seats, the experience is intimate and highly controlled. It is best for diners who want Japanese omakase with more variety than a strict nigiri-focused meal.

Scotts Road kappo omakase restaurant serving seasonal Japanese produce in an intimate counter setting.

$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Ki-sho is a strong pick for guests who want omakase intimacy but not a strict sushi-only dinner. Chef Taro Takayama's background in refined Japanese cooking shows in the balance of seasonal dishes, seafood and presentation. The bungalow setting gives it character without turning the meal into a spectacle. The limitation is category fit: if you want piece-after-piece nigiri, this is not the most direct answer. If you want a graceful Japanese counter with high-quality ingredients, it earns its place comfortably.
Why Ki-sho made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It made the list because it gives Singapore diners a serious, chef-led Japanese omakase option with clear pricing, strong seasonality and a refined counter experience.
Ki-sho is an intimate Japanese kappo omakase restaurant on Scotts Road, set in a conserved black-and-white bungalow. Under chef Taro Takayama, the restaurant focuses on seasonal Japanese ingredients, classical technique and a chef-led counter experience. Its menus are not limited to sushi, but seafood and precision preparation remain central to the meal, making it relevant for diners who enjoy omakase but want a broader Japanese format. Lunch and dinner menus offer different course counts, with pricing published clearly. The restaurant is polished, quiet and best suited to diners who value seasonality and refined pacing.

Ryo Sushi
79/100
Tanjong Pagar sushi counter popular for relatively accessible omakase in a central location.
1 Tras Link, #01-06 Orchid Hotel, Singapore 078867
ryosushi.com.sg
$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Ryo Sushi is useful in the best way: it makes counter omakase feel reachable. The location is easy, the format is clear, and the meal delivers enough variety to satisfy a sushi craving without the weight of a once-a-year bill. You should not expect the same depth of ageing, service choreography or rare seafood as the luxury counters. What you get instead is a practical, enjoyable sushi experience that works for regular dinners and diners testing the omakase waters.
Why Ryo Sushi made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It was chosen for value, central accessibility and its role as one of Singapore's better-known entry points into sushi omakase.
Ryo Sushi is a compact Tanjong Pagar sushi counter that has built a reputation for more accessible omakase compared with Singapore's luxury hotel and Michelin-starred rooms. Located at Orchid Hotel, it appeals to diners who want a chef-led sushi meal without committing to the very top price bracket. The format is straightforward: counter seating, seasonal seafood and omakase sets that focus on value and convenience. It is not trying to match the luxury sourcing or ceremony of the restaurants above it. Its strength is giving office workers, couples and first-time omakase diners a credible entry point.

Miraku

Icon Village omakase restaurant with an 18-seat setting and seasonal ingredients flown from Japan.

THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Miraku rounds out the list as a dependable modern omakase option rather than a trophy sushi counter. The 18-seat room keeps things intimate, and the use of seasonal Japanese ingredients gives the meal a proper sense of occasion. It is a good fit for diners who want something more refined than casual sushi but less formal than Singapore's starriest counters. The trade-off is that sushi purists may want a tighter nigiri focus. As a balanced, accessible omakase pick in Tanjong Pagar, it holds up well.
Why Miraku made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It earned the final spot for its intimate format, convenient CBD location, seasonal Japanese sourcing and appeal to diners seeking a polished but less intimidating omakase meal.
Miraku is an 18-seat Japanese omakase restaurant at Icon Village in Tanjong Pagar. The restaurant presents seasonal ingredients flown from Japan in a refined but approachable setting, with lunch and dinner service from Monday to Saturday. Its menu is broader than sushi alone, but seafood, sashimi-style courses and counter-style omakase are central to the experience. Miraku suits diners who want a polished Japanese meal in the CBD without heading straight into the highest luxury bracket. The room is small enough to feel personal, while the location makes it convenient for workday lunches and after-office dinners.

Sushi Restaurants in Singapore - your questions

What is the difference between sushi omakase and a normal sushi meal?

In sushi omakase, the chef decides the sequence based on the day's seafood, rice condition and pacing. A normal sushi meal usually lets you order rolls, nigiri or sashimi a la carte.

How much should I budget for sushi omakase in Singapore?

Serious sushi omakase often starts around the high hundreds before drinks and service charge. More accessible counters can be closer to S$100 to S$200, especially at lunch.

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes for most counters. The best rooms have limited seats, fixed seatings and fresh seafood planning, so last-minute walk-ins are uncommon.

What should I tell the restaurant before booking?

Mention allergies, pregnancy restrictions, shellfish limits and strong dislikes before the visit. Many omakase menus are seafood-heavy and may not be able to adjust on the day.
