Tired of ordering the same old a la carte choices whenever you dine at a Japanese restaurant? Why not try an omakase menu for a change? Depending on the price range, you don’t have to worry about picking the dishes since the chef will take charge in this area. That said, here’s the 2021 edition of Top 10 Omakase Restaurants in Singapore!
1) Teppei Japanese Restaurant
For an omakase experience that doesn’t cost you a fortune, Teppei would be an ideal place! But just because it’s affordable doesn’t mean that the quality is compromised. Expect fresh and delicious food, coupled with an overall good ambience and friendly services. Keep in mind the restaurant’s 22-seater often fills up pretty quick. So, it’s highly advisable to book your seat in advance to avoid disappointment.

2) Fat Cow
The word “fat” within the name of this Japanese restaurant actually refers to “fat”, meaning “prosperity” in Cantonese. They specialise in Japanese wagyu beef, where you can enjoy them a la carte or omakase-style. The latter, which is dubbed “Wagyu Omakase” consists of a well-curated menu, namely Miyazaki Tenderloin Steak served with ginger sauce and Shabu Shabu with Himeju Wagyu Striploin. And if possible, try pairing your Wagyu Omakase with Kamiki’s blended malt whisky to help balance the umami flavour of the meat.
