The food we ordered was just so-so. Noodles came out undercooked; soft-shell crab had a very bad taste; the croquette was cold. The saving grace was the sushi. Fish was fresh. Next time, we will not order the deep-fried food.

Expect long queues at peak hours. Service was overall satisfactory, and they refilled the green tea frequently. Food is acceptable, but I'm giving it three stars because I felt the rice on the nigiri sushi was dry, hard, and cold. This was quite unlike the rice I had at Sushiro, which was damp and not so cold. Sashimi was fresh, and the ice cream was good, especially the matcha and black sesame flavors. Food prices are not cheap.

I visited Sushi Tei Raffles City for the first time four days ago. The portion of Kaisen Ikura Fried Rice was extremely small; the plate it was served on was noticeably smaller than at other Sushi Tei outlets I've dined at. Aburi Engawa and Nodoguro Don were somewhat sufficient. The Gyomei Nabe was my favourite. It contained meatballs and plenty of vegetables. However, the carrot slices could have been bigger. Best of all, the Tanjiro Okonomiyaki was the best. It tasted delicious. The rest were generously portioned. The service was excellent and polite, with special thanks to Victor, Xiao Mei, Ying Wei, Yee Looi, Poh Yee, Restaurant Manager Eileen Chai, and an unknown young male trainee waiter. Kudos to all of them. My thanks also extend to the people who cooked our food, including Leong Pun, Wai Nam, and their team of chefs. Thank you for cooking our food!

The truffle yuzu mayonnaise ramen is absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and I really enjoy the texture of the noodles. It would be even better with some truffle bits to enhance the taste. The salmon belly is fantastic, rich and smooth, while the Rengoku beef yakiniku bento is definitely a standout, so tasty! However, the red bean soup with rice balls is a bit too sweet for my liking. The staff were much more attentive during this visit compared to my last one. Even during peak hours, they offered us a four-seater table for just two people, which I really appreciated for the extra space.

The quality of their Hanasaki Ika is not as good as it was last time. Although we were given a bigger table, I hadn't finished my meal when the waiter assumed we were leaving. That wasn't very nice service. I might not order the Hanasaki Ika from now on.

I had a lovely solo dining experience here! I requested a more private seating, and the staff were so accommodating, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The restaurant manager was especially attentive—she promptly brought over my dessert with a warm smile, and I appreciated her prompt check-ins. I also loved that my green tea refill came just when I needed it, showing great attention to detail. Overall, a very pleasant and thoughtful experience!

It’s always such a pleasant experience dining at the Raffles City Sushi Tei! The service is the most attentive, especially Eileen and Elaine and all the staff. The food is very good, and we always look forward to coming here! Keep up the good work, and we will surely be back again very soon!

On 27/12/2024, our group of 8 pax had dinner. The 8 meals cost $350, and we also added on 2 sashimi, 2 salads, 7 chawanmushi, and 8 teas. We were happy with our meals, and the wait staff were attentive. It was almost like having a private area for our group, as the interior of the place is very big.

Here's an edited version of the review: "The food here is excellent. I ordered seasonal specials: seafood sushi and a pork-skewer rice bowl. Both were super delicious and of good quality. I can't say much for the service; it's almost non-existent. I waited in line for 15-20 minutes, even though there were at least three empty tables visible. This place used to have a nice ambiance for family and friends' gatherings, but during recent visits, tables have been squeezed closer to other parties. We couldn't really have short chats after a meal; now we just want to leave."

Here's the edited review: Definitely worth it to experience a Demon Slayer-themed anime restaurant collaboration at least once. From the entrance to the design, each themed food choice associated with a character seemed carefully thought out. Note that to purchase the exclusive merchandise, a minimum of $80 must be spent. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.

Dining at its outlet in Raffles City Shopping Mall certainly impressed me a lot. The quality of food is value for money, portions are generous, and I really love its range of special rolls; it’s a feast not just for the taste buds, but also visually pleasing. The fish is fresh, and I must single out the Kagoshima pork belly sushi as outstanding. The staff is attentive and food service is fast. Overall, it was a satisfactory meal.

It’s at level 3 in Raffles City. They have a regular menu and a seasonal menu. The Chutoro was nice and fresh. The restaurant has a great variety of interesting rolls, filled with avocado, soft-shell crab, and tempura. Agedashi tofu was easy to eat and topped with bonito flakes. We got the Aburi salmon roll. It was topped with avocado, making it more creamy. Pork tonkatsu was tender, not overcooked. The chawanmushi has quite a few varieties, e.g., foie gras, crab, ikura, etc. Will be back again.

Visited the Canning Tree Tunnel on my last day in Singapore — honestly, not worth it. I quickly grabbed a taxi to MBS, and the driver recommended Sushi Tei for lunch. I laughed and asked, "Why sushi in Singapore?" but he said his whole family loves it despite the higher price than other food. Turns out he was right — I had the best ramen I’ve ever had, even better than in Korea and Japan. I’m still thinking about it! Also, I visited many malls, and Raffles City was definitely the best for shopping. Thanks for all the amazing food!

Food was really yummy. Service was average. Fish was fresh and let the natural flavours sing. Dessert waffle and ice cream was nice too. Not cheap, but great quality!

Mains are doubtlessly delicious. Appetizers are truly delightful and a visually captivating start to this culinary experience. Each delicate slice of sashimi offers a sublime journey for the palate, showcasing the freshest ingredients with remarkable precision. The chef meticulously transforms fresh, high-quality seafood into exquisite edible art. I really appreciated Madam Elaine Mok and Hooi Fen for their kind patience and assistance.

Agemono refers to any dish that is fried. Agemono uses a special batter that helps keep the oil at a high temperature, thus helping to maintain the crispiness of the food. This time-honored Japanese cooking technique keeps deep-fried dishes as crisp and leverage surprisingly light.

Chutoro is the semi-fatty tuna. It is prized for its rich flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture. The fat content is higher than akami (lean tuna) but lower than otoro (fatty tuna).

Boasting a delightful crunch and a chewy texture, the engawa comes from the tail fin muscles of a flounder. Not only does it have a gratifying mouthfeel, but its flavour also intensifies with every bite. On top of being a tasty treat, it is also a healthy one. Rich in protein and brimming with omega-3 fatty acids, the engawa stands as a wholesome treat that nourishes the body while pleasing the palate.
