Japanese omakase has exploded in popularity over the years. Whether its for Kaiseki, Kappo, or sushi omakase, Singaporeans are flocking to Japanese omakase restaurants more than ever before. One of the earliest omakase restaurants to have made its mark must have been Teppei. They still offer their very affordable and popular omakase which will fill you up to the brim. I remember the days where online booking wasn't such a big thing and people had to call for hours once phone reservations were opened to only be disappointed as they were already fully booked for months.
Singaporeans love cheap and good stuff, but a good omakase more often than not comes with a hefty price tag. Big names such as Shinji, Shoukouwa, Oshino, and Sushi Kou offer $350 - $500 omakase and they're often fully booked and the wait for a spot to dine there might take months. If you're looking for great omakase options that are more wallet-friendly or a mid-range omakase treat for a special occasion, here are 8 restaurants you should consider!
1) Miraku - $68 Lunch (2020)
$108 lunch (2026)
The
$68 Raku Sushi Course might be the most value-for-money lunch omakase
in town. There are 13 courses which comprise 9 pieces of nigiri. There's
uni, otoro, and A5 Miyazaki beef in the mix.
We weren't really full by the end of the meal but we were definitely satisfied. $68 for such premium ingredients? Damn, that is really quite hard to beat.

$128 dinner (2026)
Those who love Japanese food, particularly sushi, would know Ryo Sushi. Even if you have not dined here before, you would most
probably have heard of their amazingly-priced omakase sets. They have the best value-for-money, and most reasonably-priced, dinner omakase in town.
For $98, you get 18 courses of which about 11 courses are nigiri sushi. The $98 set includes otoro, uni, and their signature uni ikura bowl. I've eaten here many times and I've gotten hirame, engawa, shirako, anago, etc on separate occasions. I'm always looking forward to the seasonal pieces, and the mainstays such as the famous chutoro with house-made soy foam, crab handroll, and uni gunkan.

3) Haku Sushi - $128 Dinner (2026)
A 12-course Kansai-style omakase by a Japanese chef, in a shopping mall, for just $128 in this economy? Unheard of. Staff were super friendly and it's one of the most value-for-money omakase experiences I've been to in Singapore.

4) Sushi SEIZAN
The Edomae-style omakase here is made with fish sourced by their local team in Tokyo. The cuisine is supervised by SEIZAN (Michelin 2 stared restaurant in Tokyo), so it definitely has some standards. Although the restaurant is hidden in a nondescript mall, it has made it past 5 years at this location.
470 North Bridge Rd #03-19 Bugis Cube, Singapore 188735
$228 dinner (2026)
Run by the Les Amis Group, Sushi Jin certainly is not stingy when it comes
to the incorporation of premium ingredients into their omakase dinner. To be very honest, $180++ for an omakase meal of this standard is quite a
huge bang for the buck. There's a substantial sashimi platter, A4 Kagoshima beef, uni, otoro, caviar, foie gras, scallops and more.

6) Sushi Katori - $150 lunch (2023/2026)
I'm a huge fan of Chef Katori so when I heard that he opened Sushi Katori, I dragged Miss Tam Chiak with me for a visit. Impeccable food and service as always
21 Tg Pagar Rd, #01-03, Singapore 088444
7) Sushi Sato - $150 lunch (2020)
$188 lunch (2026)
Leading the charge is Chef Yuji Sato, a native of Obihiro, Hokkaido, with over 30 years of experience as a chef. Expect traditional edomae-style sushi here in a quiet and lovely setting nestled in Dempsey.
6B Dempsey Road, Singapore 247662
8) Hiryu - $188 Lunch (2020)
$198 Lunch (2026)
A
contemporary sushi restaurant along Tras Street, Hiryu has been getting
rave reviews ever since its inception. If you're looking to pamper
yourself a little, you might want to try their lunch omakase set which
promises otoro, Miyazaki beef, uni, and foiegras with a touch of luxe in
the form of truffle shavings, caviar and gold flakes.

$300 dinner (2026)

One-Michelin-Starred Ginza Sushi Ichi at Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza
Hotel might possibly offer the best sushi omakase in Singapore. The
esteemed restaurant offers two types of omakase for dinner (starting
from $220++). Walking into a
Michelin-starred establishment, I had my expectations and I was really
hoping that Ginza Sushi Ichi, an offshoot of the award-winning
restaurant in Tokyo, will exceed my expectations. "Did they?" You might
ask. Well, they certainly did. Every item was a hit, and the charcoal aburi otoro, which they are famous for, was just insanely amazing.
Ginza Sushi Ichi is currently my favourite Japanese omakase restaurant in Singapore, and if you can only pick one restaurant from this list, pick Sushi Ichi.

On top of sushi, the omakase came with a palm-sized oyster, abalone, and a few grilled items. Flounder
fin is apparently the star at Akashi. Their uni ikura rice bowl, which is topped with some truffle, and melt-in-your-mouth flounder fin, was a creamy bowl of
pure goodness that stole my heart from the very first mouthful. I found the omakase to be very pretty well priced! It's no wonder the restaurant has such a strong and loyal following!

Rebranded from Sushi Kimura
One-Michelin-Starred Sushi Kimura is hidden in a quiet corner of
Palais Renaissance. The fine dining sushi restaurant focuses on
Edomae-style sushi that's made with fish air-flown from Japan, sushi rice from a specific farm in Yamagata prefecture, and only
premium ingredients imported from Japan.
Chef Kimura chooses to introduce fish that is rarely found on the menus of Japanese restaurants in Singapore. The amiable chef attends to his guests with a big bright smile and explains every dish succinctly. It was my first time encountering fish such as oki aji, and usuba hagi,
and it was truly an eye-opening experience. Chef Kimura highlights the
natural flavours of the fish expertly. Come to Sushi Kimura for an exquisite and elevated omakase experience!

Hashida Sushi was first opened in Tokyo, in 1966, by Master Sushi Chef
Tokio Hashida. His son, Kenjiro 'Hatch' Hashida, is at the helm of Hashida Sushi
Singapore, which is now Hashida Private Dining. I visited Hashida when it was still at Mandarin Gallery. It later reopened at Mohamed Sultan, and it is now located at OUE Social Kitchen in Downtown Gallery. Prices start from $120 for lunch, and $250 for dinner.

My
lunch here back in 2018 was pretty phenomenal. Every piece of sushi was awesome, and I absolutely loved the sushi rice! You can certainly count on 'Hatch' to deliver an exceptional omakase experience. While I haven't been to Hashida Private Dining, I'm sure it's equally good or even better than the original Hashida Sushi Singapore!
