If you’re a fan of the offerings at popular Japanese ramen joint IPPUDO, here’s good news for you: they just launched Roll Sushi by IPPUDO, a brand-new sushi takeaway kiosk at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands!
While IPPUDO’s speciality is tonkatsu ramen, this kiosk, on the other hand, focuses on sushi rolls. Compared to the many dine-in sushi joints, the offerings here are packed conveniently for takeaway, perfect for a quick bite on the go.
Roll Sushi by IPPUDO specialises in two types of sushi rolls: Maki and Tatami. The former is a classic cylindrical sushi roll, while the latter is a type of pressed sushi roll that resembles a sandwich. There will be 16 flavours of Maki and Tatami to choose from, starting from $16.

To start, go for their most popular item: the Samurai Spice Roll ($17) tatami, packed with all the good stuff: salmon, shrimp, fried enoki mushrooms, and crab sticks, packed with chilli mayo, chives and avocado. Or if your taste is a little more atas, go for the Tokyo Crunch Roll ($23) which features tuna tartare dressed in wasabi mayonnaise for a little kick.
For something more unique, try their Tatami Mediterranean Delight Roll ($20), which features broiled shrimp with cream cheese, asparagus, diced tomato, prosciutto, basil, and mayo.
The basil flavour was prominent and added a refreshing layer to the dish, complementing the sweetness of the shrimp nicely. With the diced tomato and prosciutto, this item was definitely a refreshing take and strangely reminded me of a pizza.
If you prefer something more conventional, get the Island Sunrise Tatami ($17), which features marinated soft-boiled eggs and vegetable tempura. Combined with avocado, shiso leaves, mayo, and a salt-based sauce, this is a hearty choice for lunch or dinner.
The egg was incredibly creamy with a runny yolk enveloped in smooth, velvety egg white, pairing beautifully with the mayo. The cucumber added a refreshing crunch, and when combined with the crispy and flavourful tempura bits, there was a delightful texture contrast!

If you’re looking for something more indulgent, go for the Mentaiko Spam Tatami ($16), which consists of fried spam, tamago, cabbage, and mentaiko. Else, the Garden BBQ Tatami ($16), starring deep-fried tofu and avocado tempura, is another great choice.
The new kiosk is located in the basement of MBS, so make your way down to see if the new items are worth the hype.
