Yahoo Finance Affordable Omakase in Singapore for Under $100? It’s Possible at These 6 Japanese Restaurants
If you need further proof that Singaporeans are dead serious about dining, consider the fact that bento lunches or, worse, Australian-style sushi rolls, are not considered real Japanese food. And Sakae sushi? Pfft.
No, if you want to enjoy the best Japanese food in Singapore, you’ve got to sit down to no less than an omakase meal. “Omakase” basically means the chef decides what you eat (and no, that fastfood chain Omakase Burger has nothing to do with actual omakase).
Omakase in Singapore is typically practised only at higher end restaurants, resulting in a meal that could span over 10 courses… and make you cry when the bill arrives.
But at these 6 Japanese restaurants, you can enjoy affordable omakase experiences in Singapore.

They’ve got some of the best affordable omakase deals in Singapore, the cheapest omakase lunch set being only $18. Only 18 diners per day get to enjoy this, so you’ll have to fight off the other CBD workers and leave for an early lunch if you’re serious about getting it.

Ah, the famous Teppei. Singaporeans are so obsessed with Teppei that you might need to pre-register online to snag a spot, and people have gone through hours of queueing or months on their waitlist in order to get a seat.
Their 17-course omakase set is $80. Yes, 17 courses sound huge, however don’t expect huge portions, as many are just bite-size appetisers.

Osaka Kitchen ($80)

You don’t go to Osaka Kitchen expecting sushi. This is a teppanyaki restaurant, so expect to go home smelling a little like meat (so worth it though).
They’ve also got a 9-course omakase set priced at $80 that features a succulent ohmi wagyu beef steak as well as a seafood course. That’s a very reasonable price considering what you get for it.
Address: 435 Orchard Road Wisma Atria #04-46 Singapore, Singapore 238877

Fukusen ($80)

This restaurant is a hidden gem. Located at Hotel Clover, far away from the usual big shopping malls or F&B hotspots, Fukusen has quietly made a name for itself thanks not only to their fresh produce but also their affordable omakase sets.
Their cheapest omakase set is called Hana and costs $80 for five courses. They’ve also got 7- and 8-course omakase sets, but be prepared to pay more.
Address: 33 Jalan Sultan #01-02 Singapore 198965
Phone: 6291 4818
Mikawa Japanese Sake Bar & Restaurant ($80)

Those working at Changi Business Park might be familiar with Mikawa. While its name makes it sound like it’s more appropriate for a post-work piss-up than a nice meal, it’s actually a restaurant which has become popular with employees in the area for its affordable set meals.
And yes, they’ve got omakase sets starting from $80 which you can choose according to your budget, each with sushi and/or sashimi. You’ll probably want to spend a bit more to wash it all down with sake.
