For the accessible price point, we appreciate how Sushi Kyuu offers premium items and omakase favourites with the course, especially the generous serving of uni, fatty otoro sushi and minced toro handroll, plus a sashimi don topped with ample sashimi, hotate and ikura to finish. Even though it’s called a “tasting” course, there was enough food served to make you satisfied—not overly stuffed, yet not hungry for more. They also have affordable sakes from just $11 per glass to pair with your meal.
The Tasting Course is available daily at both of Sushi Kyuu’s outlets (Orchard Plaza and City Gate), only for one seating at 5pm. Our only gripe is that unlike Sushi Kyuu’s regular omakases there’s a dining limit of 60 minutes for the tasting omakase course. If you’re used to savouring your omakase slowly, you might feel that the pace of this tasting course is a little rushed. But if you’re just looking to eat and aren’t picky about the vibe, this is definitely a value-for-money omakase option for you.
