Best Sushi in Singapore 2026: Omakase, Conveyor Belt, Budget and Halal Picks

Singapore has sushi at every price point — from $1.50 conveyor belt plates to $400 omakase counters.

The challenge is matching the format to the occasion: a quick solo lunch calls for Sushiro, a date night for Ginza Sushi Ichi, a family outing for Genki Sushi.

This guide sorts the best sushi in Singapore by format first, then by budget, so you can find the right restaurant without scrolling through 50 options.

1. Omakase sushi

Omakase means "I'll leave it to you" — the chef selects the courses. In Singapore, lunch omakase starts around S$100-$130 and dinner runs S$200-$400+. Reservations are essential.

Ginza Sushi Ichi — one Michelin star, inside Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel on Orchard Road. The lunch omakase (S$130++) includes an appetiser, 10 pieces of nigiri, sushi roll, miso soup and dessert. Fish flown from Osaka's fish market multiple times a week. The benchmark for sushi in Singapore.

Sushi Kimura — Michelin Plate, 10-seat counter at Palais Renaissance. Chef Kimura sources directly from Tsukiji and serves Edomae-style sushi with aged fish. Lunch from S$150++, dinner from S$300++. One of the few places in Singapore practising traditional ageing technique.

Sushi Sato — tucked in Dempsey Hill's greenery. Chef Sato's connections to top Japanese suppliers mean rare seasonal fish that most competitors cannot access. Lunch omakase from S$168++. A special-occasion pick.

Ganko Sushi — the accessible omakase option. A 15-course sushi omakase at S$110++ per person with fresh fish flown from Osaka three times a week. Penang Road, near Dhoby Ghaut MRT. The best entry point if you want to try omakase without the S$200+ commitment.

2. Conveyor belt sushi

Conveyor belt (kaiten) sushi is the most family-friendly format — kids pick what they want, damage is controlled per plate, and there is no wait for individual orders.

Sushiro — Japan's #1 kaiten chain with multiple outlets including Tiong Bahru, Woodlands and Orchard. Plates from S$2.20++. The quality-to-price ratio is the best in Singapore for conveyor belt — the fish is fresher than most competitors at this price point.

Genki Sushi — 22 outlets island-wide with the signature bullet-train delivery system that kids love. Plates from S$2.50++. Good aburi sushi selection and fresh sashimi. Delivery available (min S$35, fee from S$5).

Sushi Express / GOGO — the cheapest sushi in Singapore at S$1.50++ per plate. Multiple outlets. Best for a quick grab-and-go lunch, not a sit-down experience. Sushi platters available for parties.

Sushi Tei — straddles conveyor belt and à la carte, with frequent lunch deals and member promotions. Good balance of quality and price across many outlets. One of the most reliably consistent chains.

3. À la carte sushi restaurants

These sit between conveyor belt casual and omakase fine dining — you order specific pieces, and they are made fresh to order.

Itacho Sushi — handmade sushi since 2009 across Bugis, Orchard and Novena. Every piece is made to order, ensuring freshness. Wide menu from basic salmon to creative specialty rolls. From S$5++.

Tomi Sushi — five locations including Millenia Walk and Novena. Known for seasonal sushi promotions, especially their maguro (tuna) promo with half-price fatty tuna cuts. Worth following their Instagram for deal drops. From S$6++.

Akashi — premium à la carte in the heart of Orchard. Specialties include Uni Tempura Nori and Foie Gras with Caviar on toast. Two locations (Tanglin and Orchard). From S$15++ per piece.

Ichiban Sushi — the mid-range family option with affordable set meals (katsu curry, teriyaki don, sushi combos). Multiple heartland locations including Bukit Panjang, Hougang and Sengkang. From S$8++.

4. Budget sushi under S$15

You can eat well for under S$15 at these spots.

• Sushi Express / GOGO — S$1.50++ per plate. A 10-plate meal runs under S$15. The cheapest sit-down sushi in Singapore.
• Sushiro — S$2.20++ per plate. Quality is noticeably above Sushi Express. A 5-plate meal with miso soup stays under S$15.
• Genki Sushi — S$2.50++ per plate. The bullet-train delivery is free entertainment. 5 plates plus a side under S$15.
• Umi Sushi — S$1 per box on selected days. Grab-and-go takeout sushi for when you need a quick lunch. Donburi rice bowls also available. Multiple heartland locations.
• Tomi Sushi — watch for their seasonal promos where premium cuts go half price. A regular à la carte meal can stay under S$15 with smart ordering.

5. Halal sushi in Singapore

Halal-certified sushi options are limited, but one standout exists.

Hei Sushi — the world's first halal-certified sushi conveyor belt restaurant (part of the Sakae Sushi group). Casual dining with a full menu of sushi, sashimi and Japanese dishes. Sushi party platters available for celebrations. Outlets at Downtown East, Woodlands Civic Centre and Jurong East. From S$3++.

For halal Japanese food beyond sushi, Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen is also halal-certified — see our best ramen in Singapore guide.

Stacking tip for omakase

Some omakase restaurants also accept Chope bookings, which occasionally offer Chope Deals vouchers (e.g. S$200 voucher for S$180). Check before booking direct.
