Ishizawa

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. This newly opened Japanese fine dining spot is a hidden gem! The ambiance is elegant yet welcoming, and every detail feels thoughtfully curated. What truly sets this place apart is the chef—clearly a master of the craft. Each dish was a work of art, both visually and in flavor. The sushi was melt-in-your-mouth fresh, and the tasting menu was a perfect balance of traditional techniques with modern creativity. Hands down some of the best Japanese cuisine I’ve ever had. Highly recommend for anyone looking to be wowed.

The sushi here is exquisite. Each sushi piece comes with interesting yet delicate layering of seasoning and fresh Japanese herbs, which enhance the flavors of seasonal fish. The rice was airy and tangy. The sushi melts in your mouth while you try to savor it. I'd strongly recommend pairing the meal with champagne or sake so it doesn't overpower the delicate flavors of sushi but that's just me being very Japanese. Anyways it's a great deal for what it is.

Food is amazing. We were always huge fans of Shinji at Carlton and this place is run by the same folks. They actually remembered us from the Shinji days. We had the Ten Omakase which was a lot of food but well worth it. The quality is really amazing and the set up of the restaurant is cozy and welcoming.

Food, service and ambience were fantastic! The attention to detail and preferences makes the overall dining experience great! Great value for money! Highly recommended!

Ishi san was the former head chef of Shinji Carlton (1 Michelin star), joining Shinji when it first opened at Raffles Hotel years ago. He now has his own space in what was previously Oshino. At Shinji he was known for his clean, precise, sushi - in the Kanazawa house style. Sushi there was always about the delicate balance between neta and shari. You might get better quality of fish / more luxe ingredients (at higher prices) elsewhere, but no other chef I tried got the balance just so. Now that Ishi san is no longer part of the Kanazawa group, he does not need to stick to the house style. He can pick and choose from his fishermen contacts, and the neta quality is a 1/2 to 1 step up. His shari is warmer, cleaner mouth-feel, a touch more umami. The sushi still held in that delicate balance of restraint and yummy.

amazing sushi with the most talented chef (ishi), 10/10 recommend for omakase in sg<3

Absolutely unforgettable omakase experience at Sushi Ishizawa, Raffles Singapore. The craftsmanship here is Michelin‑level – every piece of sushi, uni, and sashimi is prepared with such precision and respect for the ingredients. Chef Ishizawa is incredibly kind and communicative, making the evening feel personal and welcoming. The photos I took won’t do justice at all. You really have to come and experience this yourself. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an intimate, top‑tier sushi experience in Singapore!
