Most of Singapore’s best-known omakase counters sit in hotels along Orchard Road or in the towers of the Central Business District. MIYU sits somewhere quieter. We are the omakase restaurant on Dempsey Road, tucked into the greenery of Dempsey Hill — a former army barracks turned dining enclave in the Tanglin district, a short ten-minute drive from Orchard and the CBD, yet a world away from their bustle.
Why Dempsey Hill for omakase
Dempsey Hill has become one of Singapore’s most characterful dining enclaves — low-rise, wrapped in rain trees, and unhurried. It is a setting that suits omakase. An omakase meal asks you to slow down and to trust the chef with the evening; the calm of Dempsey lets you do exactly that. There is no valet queue, no lobby crowd — only a short walk through greenery to an intimate counter. For a business lunch, a quiet anniversary, or a first omakase, the enclave sets a tone that a hotel floor rarely can.
MIYU: Edomae craft on Dempsey Road
MIYU has welcomed guests at Dempsey Hill since 2019. Every menu is composed by Executive Chef Owner Ng Kam Kwan, whose more than 22 years of Japanese culinary training — including time at Hide Yamamoto and Kacyo — inform an Edomae approach rooted in the historic Tokyo style of sushi-making. The shari is seasoned with precision, fish is aged to draw out umami, and each piece of nigiri is a considered act rather than a routine one.
Ingredients are air-flown fresh from Toyosu Market each week, so the menu follows the Japanese idea of shun — the peak season of an ingredient. From sakura masu in spring to rich autumn uni, no two sittings are quite the same. You can read more about our chef and team, or explore what omakase means before your visit.
The finest quality at the sincerest prices
MIYU’s name is drawn from the words for kindness (実) and the yuzu citrus (柚) — a reminder of the sincerity we hope to show each guest. That sincerity extends to our pricing. Our lunch omakase begins at $128 and our dinner omakase at $228 — a level of Edomae craft that, elsewhere in Singapore, often begins well above $350. We are rated 5.8/6 by verified diners on Quandoo and 4.6/5 on Google, and are frequently named among the city’s best-value omakase experiences.
