Kou Teppan
At Kou Teppan, the fusion of omakase and teppanyaki takes centre stage with their exclusive lunch ($58) and dinner ($88) omakase sets. With large teppanyaki grills, guests have the delightful experience of watching their meals being expertly grilled and served right in front of them.
The menu boasts tantalizing options like Scallop Flambe, and sumptuous mains such as Japanese A5 Wagyu Kamameshi and Kou Okonomiyaki, all served in a rich sauce. Check out our full review of Kou Teppan here.
Unkai Sushi
Located within Orchard Rendezvous Hotel, Unkai Sushi has an 8-course lunch omakase ($68++) that features seasonal ingredients and a mini chirashi don with an option to upgrade to the exquisite Magic Bowl, which includes delicacies like white shrimp and uni.
For something more substantial, there are heavier omakase sets that lean towards the pricier side. Read our full review on Unkai Sushi here.
Kissajin
Kissajin has only one expertly crafted omakase menu for both lunch ($68++) and dinner ($98++), refreshed quarterly to showcase the best of seasonal produce.
A unique twist here is the yoyo tsuri experience, a game typically seen at festivals. In a delightful culinary twist, you’ll be catching and popping the balloon over a bowl to unveil a silky Goma Tofu orb.
The menu is filled with innovative dishes including a bowl of Japanese curry rice paired with Kagoshima Wagyu, alongside other unique offerings like Chawanmushi and gourmet Sandos!

There are four omakase options available for both lunch and dinner at Sushi Michi. The lunch courses are more budget-friendly, priced at $80 and $108, each featuring a 13-course set. For dinner, patrons can indulge in either an 18-course or 20-course set.
We tried the 10-course set and were particularly impressed with options like the Uni Handroll and the Yellow-Backed Seabream which stood out as highlights. Read our full review on Sushi Michi here!
YUTA
YUTA has just one menu option, their YUTA Omakase ($115), featuring an 11-course meal. Three staple dishes like the charcoal-grilled A5 Wagyu Sirloin remain constant, while the rest of the menu gets a refresh every two weeks.
We thoroughly enjoyed the experience at YUTA and highlights from our meal included unique offerings like a charcoal-grilled tofu pouch filled with chicken tsukune! We suggest pairing the meal with their specially selected sake and umeshu, which are thoughtfully chosen to complement the different stages of the omakase.

A standout feature is their use of aged red vinegar in the sushi rice, imparting a distinct and enjoyable flavour. Read our article on Shin Yasuke here.
