Amazing sushi! We lived in Japan for 3.5 years and this is the best sushi I have had outside of Japan. Conveniently located in the Raffles Hotel. The set menu is amazing, its expensive, but it actually worth it with the quality of the sushi and the experience overall. I tend to go at lunchtime which makes it a little... More

I had $450 SGD course and the food there is quite palatable. However, after tasting Star sushi places in Tokyo, I found the quality vs. price is not the best. You can go to good Sushi places and eat fatty tuna or Oh toro anywhere but you can find the real delicacy of sushi not necessarily from the material they... More

excellent sushi. I was amazed for sushi to be so good. but in my humble opinion, the price is way too high. almost $400 with plum wines. but then again, the wines are really really good! If you are going to stay at Raffles Hotel, this is the BEST OF BEST OF BEST SUSHI in singapore. 5-star!

The food is most definitely worth the hefty price. This place (out of all the Japanese restaurants in Singapore!) is the place we'll go to when we're craving good Japanese sushi and we are never disappointed by the chef's creations.

Exquisite, small and delicate sushi assortment freshly made by the Japanese chef Excellent taste! They taste even better than they look.:) Charming and humorous chef! He's a celebrity chef in his own rights! Japanese-styled wooden bar counter, brimming with Japanese customers, that's a sign of authenticity and good quality! Great hospitality from the service staff. Need I say more? Oishi!!

This has got to be my favorite Japanese restaurant in Singapore! I have eaten there about 5 times in 2011 (3 times for lunch, twice for dinner) and have never been disappointed - the service and quality of the food is always consistently mind-blowing. Run jointly by Joni Ong & Oishi-san, hospitality is at its very best, with Oishi-san's Japanese... More

This is a pricey place, so do not gow if 300S$++ per person will make you feel unconfortable. But if you can afford it and if you want to experience something extraordinery make sure to visit Shinji. The two hours I have spend there count among the most exciting and amusing time I have ever experieced during dinner. Can't wait... More

I visited shinji on mid November. It has nice authentic decor with beautiful wooden counter. We order omakase. Entire experience was ok but I just simply felt painful when I paid the bill (nearly $600). Of course with this price it should be good quality but I ususally concern the cost performance and it makes me feel not worth for... More
