Sushi Tei Singapore: Menu, Prices, Outlets & Review

When Singapore wants Japanese food that feels like a proper night out without fine-dining prices, Sushi Tei is the name that keeps coming up. This homegrown institution runs one of the island’s most extensive Japanese menus — bento sets, sashimi platters, aburi rolls, seasonal wagyu specials — all served in polished mall restaurants that work as well for family dinners as for date nights.

Sushi-on-the-go has its own champion: the Genki Sushi menu runs famously cheap kaiten plates from S$1.80. Beef-bowl loyalists, meanwhile, should see the Yoshinoya Singapore menu for gyudon under S$10.

Below is the Sushi Tei Singapore menu with approximate prices — appetisers, sashimi, sushi, bento sets and seasonal specials — plus the dishes regulars reorder and answers to the questions everyone asks before booking a table.

Three decades in, Sushi Tei’s trick is range without chaos: sushi, sashimi, bentos, noodles and cooked dishes all under one roof, consistent across every outlet. It won’t thrill the omakase crowd, but as the default ‘let’s just do Japanese’ for groups, it has no real rival at these prices.

Sushi Tei Menu Singapore: Dishes & Prices

The menu’s depth is its signature: dozens of appetisers, a full sashimi counter, aburi-topped rolls, rice bowls and bento sets that bundle a whole meal into one box. Seasonal chapters — summer poke bowls, autumn wagyu, spring sakura dishes — rotate through, so repeat visits always surface something new.

Appetisers

The chuka (marinated) starters are the classic opening move — most sit around S$8.50, from Chuka Wakame seaweed to Chuka Iidako baby octopus. Edamame runs near S$7.60, Lobster Salad about S$11.40, and Ikura Shoyuzuke (salmon roe) near S$12.60. The Homemade Meat Gyoza at roughly S$11.40 is a crowd favourite.

Sushi Tei Bento Sets: The Lunch Value Play

The smartest way to eat at Sushi Tei on a weekday is the bento list. The Teriyaki Chicken Bento — grilled chicken with teriyaki sauce on steamed rice — is the entry point at around S$12.30 on delivery menus, and cheaper still on the in-store takeaway menu (from about S$9.50). From there it steps up: Buta Belly (S$16.70), Special Mentaiko with half-broiled salmon and cod roe (S$17.30), Kaisen Tempura (S$17.90), Yakiniku (S$20.50) and Unagi (S$21.70).

What makes the bentos work is that they’re complete meals, not tasters: a proper main, rice, and the small sides that round it out. For office lunches near any of the 10+ outlets, the Special Mentaiko Bento is the one regulars swear by — half-broiled salmon, cooked omelette and crab meat with cod roe on sushi rice eats like a S$25 dish.

Price discipline matters here because the same dish costs three different prices: cheapest on the takeaway menu, mid-range dining in (++ charges), highest on delivery apps. If you live or work near an outlet, the takeaway bento is one of the best Japanese lunch values in Singapore, full stop.

The takeaway menu is the insider play: bento from about S$9.50 in-store versus S$12.30+ on delivery apps for the same box. If you work near an outlet, walking in beats every delivery platform on price — the apps add both markup and fees.

The sashimi list rewards the confident: salmon, hamachi (S$14.80) and hotate (S$14.80) for the regular rotation, ootoro (S$38.80) for occasions. The moriawase sets — Asama 3 kinds (S$23), Tokachi 4 kinds (S$44.80), Rishiri 5 kinds (S$58.80) — are the way to taste across the range without committing to full portions.

Cooked dishes round out the menu for the sushi-sceptic at the table: chicken karaage, homemade meat gyoza (S$11.40), agedashi tofu and soft-shell crab maki. It’s why Sushi Tei works for mixed groups — the non-raw-fish options are real dishes, not afterthoughts.

The 10+ outlets span the island — Tiong Bahru Plaza, and every major mall cluster — which makes it the default ‘let’s just do Japanese’ for groups that can’t agree. Consistency across outlets is the chain’s quiet strength; the salmon tastes the same everywhere.

The dessert case is small but the matcha soft serve and seasonal parfaits punch above their weight — and the chawanmushi (S$5.50) remains the best-value starter on the menu, a proper steamed egg custard with seafood that arrives before your sushi and sets the tone. For the full experience, book the omakase-style chef’s counter seats where available; watching the itamae work the knife is half the meal.

First-timers should know the drill: Sushi Tei runs a queue system at peak hours, so put your name down and browse the mall for 15 minutes rather than hovering by the entrance. The lunch crowd moves fast — most tables turn in under 45 minutes — which is why the queue always looks worse than it is.

Bento	Price (S$)
Teriyaki Chicken	12.30
Buta Belly	16.70
Special Mentaiko	17.30
Kaisen Tempura	17.90
Yakiniku	20.50
Unagi	21.70
