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.
Table of Contents
Starting with the cheapest on this list is Sushi to Sumi, a cosy Japanese spot in the CBD near Raffles MRT Station. 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.

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.
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 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.

Head to Tajimaya Yakiniku at Great World for their exclusive omakase experience, priced at $88++ at lunch, and $128++ come dinnertime. The menu is subject to the chef’s discretion, but they’ve previously had Wagyu omakase menus or featured Wagyu sushi too—they’re known for stocking the premium beef after all.
Do note that you’ll have to make a reservation at least four days ahead of your intended meal. If you’re going for the omakase set, you’ll get to sit away from the main dining area, in one of two private dining rooms.

You wouldn’t expect a Michelin-starred sushiya to have menus under $100, but Shinji by Kaneseka does. Of course, you can’t expect to be served the same items as on the most expensive, $550++ dinner menu, which goes by the name Chef’s Omakase Special. But for $100++, you can chow down on nine pieces of nigiri and maki sushi on the Hana menu. With the Tsuki ($150++) menu, there are 12 pieces, and 15 on Yuki ($200++).

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 Mini Omakase ($98++) comes with a wider spread of dishes, with options for top-ups. If you’re up for a treat, get the Uni Garden ($48++).

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.
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.

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”.
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.

Moss Cross Tokyo is a 40-seater diner at Capri by Fraser China Square, where you can dine in a serene, minimalist space without having loud music or conversations distract 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.

Enter one Michelin-starred Sushi Kimura, and you can’t miss the hinoki counter, carved from a 150-year-old tree. This sushiya is fronted by chef-owner Tomoo Kimura, who uses organic rice from a specific farm in Yamagata Prefecture in Japan, cooked in Hokkaido spring water, in all his sushi. A particular condition of dining here is that diners are not permitted to wear fragrances into the restaurant, as it affects one’s appreciation of the cuisine.
There are three menus here: Hagi ($180++), Raku ($250++), and Rikyu ($450++). Courses you can look forward to include Yuba & Ikura with Dashi Jelly, the seasonal chawanmushi, and Chef Kimura’s decadent rice bowl, mixed with copious amounts of uni and egg, and topped with ikura.

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

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.
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.
