5 Best Sushi in Singapore (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Thorne Savarin, Culinary Explorer · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 9 min read

Sushi in Singapore now means more than a conveyor belt: it means handroll bars, dry-aged nigiri, and rooftop izakaya menus competing for the same Telok Ayer crowd. Across the sushi spots on this page, customers have left over 18,000 Google reviews, and most sit within a tenth of a star of each other at 4.7 to 4.9, so the real difference between them is style, not quality.

Short answer: The top-rated sushi restaurant in Singapore is Toku Nori Handroll Bar (4.9 stars across 3,425 Google reviews), a Telok Ayer shophouse specialising in made-to-order handrolls with sake pairings. Shinrai (4.8, 3,636 reviews) and Kozen Sushi Bar & Restaurant (4.7, 4,064 reviews, the most of any name on this page) are the other standout picks. Expect $30 to $100+ per person depending on the format.

Toku Nori Handroll Bar – Telok Ayer

4.93,425 Google reviews

Toku Nori Handroll Bar is a Japanese restaurant in a heritage Telok Ayer shophouse, built entirely around made-to-order handrolls rather than traditional nigiri sets.

A sushi omakase is available exclusively at its Boat Quay location.

Our take: Toku Nori tops this list on both rating and consistency, and its handroll-and-sake format is genuinely different from a standard sushi counter. It's the pick if you want something more interactive than a set nigiri course.

Shinrai

4.83,636 Google reviews

Shinrai is a modern Japanese restaurant and bar on Telok Ayer Street, blending traditional dishes with a retropop, neon-lit interior. Its menu spans maki rolls, foie gras sushi, truffle pasta and yakitori rather than sticking to a single format, and reviewers describe it as a lively spot for group dinners and birthday celebrations.

What people praise

Signature maki rolls and foie gras sushi singled out repeatedly as standouts
Fun, retropop atmosphere suited to celebrations and group bookings
Consistently busy even on weeknights, a sign of steady local demand
Small celebratory touches like table desserts for birthdays

Worth knowing

Service can lag on refills and small requests during busy periods
Some seasoning choices, like saltier dishes, don't land for every palate

Kozen Sushi Bar & Restaurant

4.74,064 Google reviews

Kozen Sushi Bar & Restaurant is a cosy shophouse Japanese restaurant known for dry-aged sushi and air-flown seasonal ingredients, a less common approach that reviewers say deepens the umami and texture of the fish. Its tasting platters mix sashimi, sushi, tempura, uni and Wagyu-style beef short ribs in one order, alongside signature dishes like the Tokujo Nigiri.

What people praise

Highest review count of any sushi spot on this list at over 4,000
Dry-aged sushi and tasting platters praised as standout, not gimmicky
Wagyu Beef Wine Short Ribs and Chawanmushi called out as highlights beyond the sushi itself
Intimate, low-key setting that reviewers contrast favourably with more formal rooms

Worth knowing

Can get busy, with waits up to 10 minutes reported at peak times
Premium tasting formats push the per-person price higher

Our take: Kozen has built the deepest review base on this list while holding a 4.7 rating, which is a strong signal of consistency at volume. Go here for the dry-aged sushi specifically; it's not something every kitchen in Singapore attempts.

Tora Tora Tora Japanese Restaurant Singapore

4.82,772 Google reviews

Tora Tora Tora is a modern izakaya on the rooftop of Oxley Bizhub 2, built around air-flown sashimi and sushi alongside charcoal-grilled dishes and an extensive collection of Japanese sakes and whiskies. It positions itself as a seafood and sake bar rather than a straight sushi restaurant, with a sushi menu that leans into signature maki like salmon ikura mentaiko.

What people praise

Sushi platters and salmon sashimi frequently called out by name in reviews
Large sake and whisky selection is a genuine draw for evening groups
Consistently packed even midweek, reflecting strong local repeat business
Owner responds directly to lower-scoring reviews with specific follow-up

Worth knowing

Rooftop industrial-building location can be tricky to find on a first visit
A few reviewers rated the food average rather than exceptional on quieter nights

Our take: Tora Tora Tora shares the 4.8 rating tier with Shinrai but leans harder into its izakaya and drinks program. It's the pick if the night is as much about the sake list as the sushi.

Misato

4.82,213 Google reviews

Misato is a Japanese restaurant on Orchard Road specialising in donburi rice bowls, from generous ebi prawn sets to leaner tonkatsu cutlet bowls, alongside A5 Wagyu don and okonomiyaki. It recently relocated from Centrepoint to Orchard Gateway, and reviewers describe the format as hearty, well-presented, and better value than the Orchard Road setting might suggest.

What people praise

Ebi and Wagyu don bowls praised for generous portions and freshness
Consistently strong service, described as warm and welcoming
Genuine value for the Orchard Road location, according to repeat reviewers
Okonomiyaki called out as a standout beyond the donburi menu

Worth knowing

Rice texture inconsistency noted by a couple of reviewers
Lowest review count on this list, so the sample is smaller than its peers

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Singapore sushi restaurants. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from thousands of diners carries more weight than a 5.0 from a dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does sushi cost in Singapore? (2026)

Pricing depends heavily on format, from a casual donburi bowl to a handroll-and-sake tasting. Based on price-per-person figures reviewers reported across the restaurants on this page in 2026:

Job	Typical price
Donburi bowl or set lunch (Misato)	$10 to $40 per person
Izakaya or modern Japanese dinner (Tora Tora Tora, Shinrai)	$30 to $80 per person
Handroll bar or dry-aged tasting menu (Toku Nori, Kozen)	$40 to $100+ per person

Ranges compiled July 2026 from price-per-person figures reported directly in Google reviews for the restaurants on this page. Set menus and add-ons like premium Wagyu or uni can push the total higher, so confirm current pricing when booking.

Serving all of Singapore

What to ask before you book a sushi restaurant

Is a reservation required, and how far in advance should I book?
Is the menu à la carte, set, or omakase-style, and what’s included?
Are the fish and seafood air-flown, and how often does the menu change?
What’s a realistic per-person budget for the portions I want?
Are there vegetarian or allergy-friendly options on the menu?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these sushi restaurants?

We started from every sushi restaurant in Singapore with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

What’s the difference between a handroll bar and a regular sushi restaurant?

A handroll bar like Toku Nori makes cone-shaped rolls to order at the counter, meant to be eaten immediately while the seaweed is crisp, rather than serving pre-plated nigiri or maki sets.

Is there a budget-friendly sushi option in Singapore?

Misato’s donburi rice bowls are the most accessible option on this list, with set lunches reported from around $10 to $40 per person depending on the bowl.

The bottom line

Toku Nori Handroll Bar is the safe default for the highest-rated, most distinctive sushi experience in Singapore, while Misato is the pick if you want something quicker and more casual. Whichever you choose, book ahead for dinner service.
