9 Affordable Omakase Restaurants With Prices From $38++

And they all offer options below $100++

April 8, 2022

“I’ll leave it up to the chef” is what “omakase” means in Japanese, which means you likely won’t know what dishes you’re getting till it’s on your plate. This unique selling point is what makes omakase dining – typically a multiple-course meal – so attractive!

Just sit back, relax and watch the chef prepare the food before your very eyes. Diners are usually not given a detailed menu prior to their session so each and every dish that is presented will be a surprise.

Unsurprisingly, such a meticulously curated meal can be quite an expensive affair. For example, an omakase dinner at the cult favourite Sushi Kimura can set you back about $300 to $400.

However, this does not mean that there are no wallet-friendly options available. There are a few places in Singapore that do offer decent omakase meals. While they’re not cheap by any means, these restaurants below are your best bet if you want to enjoy a premium experience for a reasonable price (there’s even one at a jaw-dropping $38++).

Unkai Sushi

Nestled within Orchard Rendezvous Hotel is Unkai, a new 30-seater sushi-ya opened by chef-owner Eugene Lam, whose experience spans over a decade at top establishments like Hide Yamamoto, Ashino and Sushi Mieda.

Curated with the season’s choice picks, the omakase sets are priced from $88++. This gets you an appetiser, 10 types of sushi, a handroll and miso soup. Pick the $138++ or $188++ menus and you’ll also get a grilled dish and 11 types of sushi, depending on which you go for.

The sushi line-up impresses with highlights like the Peek-A-Boo, with delicate narabi uni (sea urchin) and chutoro, the smokey and buttery Binchotan sushi, and the glorious house-smoked otoro which has been aged for twenty days.

Unkai Sushi is at 1 Tanglin Road #01-10, Orchard Rendezvous Hotel, Singapore 247905.

Nestled in a quiet corner of Goldhill Plaza is Ken Japanese Restaurant, where you can sample traditional kaiseki-style omakase. Head chef Ryo Endo sends out sushi creations and mainstays that place the spotlight on fresh produce imported from Yamagata, Japan as well as other Japanese prefectures.

You can look forward to hotaru ika (firefly squid) from Toyama, Mebaru (black rockfish) from Hiroshima, and kegani (hairy crab) from Hokkaido. The omakase menus are priced from $88++ to $198++. We’re told the best-seller is the $138++ omakase menu, which sees two seasonal appetiser courses, seasonal sashimi, tempura, shiizakan, a main dish, miso soup, and a dessert.

Best make your reservations asap — the Spring menu only runs till the end of April.

Ken Japanese Restaurant
Miraku
custom

Its most affordable omakase set is the Miraku Sushi course, priced at $88++, which is only served for lunch. A seasonal starter and chawanmushi (steamed egg) prime your belly for the nine types of nigiri sushi (raw fish sushi) that follow, was well as a wagyu uni rice roll, mini maze don, soup, and a dessert.

For dinner, prices go up to $188++.

Miraku is at 3 Pickering Street, #01-31, Nankin Row, Singapore 049660. Visit its website for reservations or more information.

Dinner sets are from $108++ to $238++, with cooked seafood, meat and seasonal or premium sushi.

Jidai

For a novel French-Japanese omakase experience, there’s the 30-seater Jidai at Circular Road, which beckons with neon magenta lighting and quirky Japanese fortune cats.

The eight-course omakase set ($78++) starts with Botan shrimp sashimi and a large plump oyster topped with crisp umami shrimp chin. There’s also a comforting collagen chicken broth nestling a whole abalone, grilled King Hokkaido Scallop that sits in a peach foam, and red snapper tempura.

For mains, there’s the Challans duck (French duck that’s more lean) done two ways, or you can opt for the wagyu beef bowl. Your meal ends with desserts of a pillowy coconut mochi and a Kyoho grape sorbet.

And if you think that isn’t enough to tame your growling belly, there’s the 11-course menu at $108++.

Jidai is at 9 Circular Rd, Singapore 049365.  Visit its website for reservations or more information.

Tajimaya Yakiniku

Specialising in charcoal-grilled meats, Tajimaya Yakiniku served up an eight-course omakase-style lunch at $88++ and a 10-course dinner that’ll set you back by $128++.

The restaurant uses seasonal and air-flown in from Japan, so you can expect the menu to be switched up almost daily. But beef lovers will want to check it out, because both sets star premium A4 Miyazaki wagyu striploin. You can also look forward to beef-centric sushi and seasonal specialties.

Read our review here.

Tajimaya Yakiniku is at 1 Kim Seng Promenade, #B1-115, Singapore 237994. Visit its website for reservations or more information.

Hana Japanese Restaurant
custom

Hana Japanese Restaurant has been located at Forum in Orchard for around several years. Apart from its ‘flying soba’ which went viral, it’s also popular for its affordable omakase sets which are priced from $38++ to $88++ — yes you read that right.

Its cheapest option comes with 15 courses which is a pretty decent amount of food for the price point and includes the likes of somen, shishamo tempura, salmon and hamachi sashimi, caramelised aburi salmon sushi, and more.
