Ganko Sushi

Tucked inside the UBS Building like some kind of culinary secret, Ganko Sushi serves up serious omakase without the hotel price tag. Their 15-course experience runs $110 – practically charity work for this level of fish. The Japanese head chef has a direct line to Osaka’s fish markets, meaning your tuna was probably swimming in Japanese waters 48 hours ago. The setting is bright and modern, a refreshing change from the typical dimly-lit sushi counter vibe.
- 9 Penang Road, UBS Building, #01-01
Ginza Sushi Ichi
The Michelin star isn’t just for show here. Located in Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza, Ginza Sushi Ichi is where sushi becomes art. Their lunch omakase at $130 includes 10 pieces of nigiri that’ll make you question every piece of supermarket sushi you’ve ever eaten. Book ahead – good sushi waits for no one.

Dempsey Hill’s lush greenery provides the backdrop for some of Singapore’s most refined sushi. Chef Sato’s connections in Japan mean rare seasonal ingredients that most restaurants can only dream about. The $168 lunch experience is a masterclass in why good sushi costs what it costs. Every grain of rice, every slice of fish – it all matters here, in Sushi Sato.

The Conveyor Belt Circus
Sushiro
Japan’s biggest conveyor belt chain brought their A-game to Singapore. The quality-to-price ratio is almost ridiculous – where else can you get decent seared bonito for a few dollars?

Rakuichi
Dempsey’s Japanese spot, Rakuichi, does inventive maki that actually work. The signature soft shell crab wrapped in avocado and raw fish sounds like fusion gone wrong but tastes like fusion done right. The $48 salmon bento lunch is a steal for the location and quality.
