Omakase at Marina Bay Sands, or Dempsey Hill?
Singapore now has fine omakase at both ends of the island, and at the entry level the headline price is often the same: around $128 for a seasonal sushi sitting. The question worth asking is not what it costs, but what that price actually buys.
The Marina Bay Sands counter. A celebrated omakase inside Marina Bay Sands seats guests in a dedicated room off a larger restaurant-and-bar concept, open for a few evening hours, under the name of a world-famous chef who is rarely at the counter himself. The setting is grand, the wine list deep, the room busy. For many, the address is the occasion.
The Dempsey Hill counter. MIYU sits in the quiet greenery of Dempsey Road, ten minutes from the Bay. It is chef-owned: Executive Chef Ng Kam Kwan is at the counter every service, with over twenty-two years of Edomae training behind each piece. The fish is air-flown from Japan for the season. Lunch begins at $128 and dinner at $228 — the same craft at lunch and dinner, priced sincerely rather than to the postcode.
Where $128 goes further. At the hotel, $128 is the accessible edge of a premium, high-footfall room. At MIYU, $128 is a full seasonal Edomae lunch at a counter the chef owns and runs — no service surcharge for the view, no side-room to the main event. If what you want from omakase is the chef’s hand, the season on the plate and an unhurried counter, Dempsey is the value choice.
Getting here from the Bay. MIYU is a short drive from Marina Bay and the CBD — turn off Holland Road onto Dempsey Road, with complimentary parking across the Dempsey Hill estate. Find us and opening hours. If you are booking around the Bay, see also our note on omakase near Marina Bay Sands.
