If someone asked me what I love most about sushi, only two things come to my mind: Music For a Sushi Restaurant by Harry Styles, and cheap, quality sushi. Although they say that money can’t make you as hot as Harry Styles, it can still buy you some good sushi—I know that might sound like a long shot, but well, it’s better than nothing.

The Don Don Donki empire is rapidly expanding in Singapore, and it looks like the ‘Don Don Don, Donki’ jingle is going to permanently live in my head.

Some of their popular nigiri items include A4 Wagyu Beef Sukiyaki ($6), Fresh Salmon Mentaiko ($2), and O-toro and Uni ($4).

Sushi Plus offers economical sushi, with prices starting from just $1.50++. We highly recommend trying the Triple Flavour Salmon Selection ($5++), which features aburi salmon with three delicious toppings: Caramel, Cheese, and Mentaiko. If you prefer something lighter on the palate, the Cheese Masago with Tamagoyaki ($1.50++ per piece) is an excellent choice. This sushi features capelin roe and a soft, fluffy omelette, creating a pleasant contrast of textures. Additionally, the omelette’s pudding-like sweetness and savoury cheese masago complement each other perfectly.
