Singaporeans will never say “no” to Japanese food, right? They’re like the food that combines atas-ness with hawker taste (good-looking and tasty af!).

Now, here’re the ten Japanese makan places that combine the atas-ness, the hawker taste & the hawker price (sort of lah) in Singapore that you really can’t miss!

1) Senmi Sushi

They serve one of those really fresh Chirashi Don that you cannot resist. At $26, it is filled with chutoro, mekajiki, sake, hotate, ama ebi, tamago and topped with ikura. These fresh ingredients lie on top of a bed of rice and look so yummy you will want to eat everything up.

Address: Emporium Shokuhin @ Marina Square #01-08

2) Sushi Express

When it comes to affordability, you can miss Sushi Express. You can think of it as the Daiso of Japanese food, with each plate at an affordable fixed $1.50. With 15 outlets in Singapore, it’s the to-go when you’re in need of some sushi and yet have less than $15 in your wallet.

Address: Various outlets. Check out their outlet locations here.

3) Muji Café

If you are looking for healthy Japanese deli, look no further. The Muji Café serves both hot and cold deli with rice and a drink for $12.90. It is healthy and delicious and you can even choose to upgrade your meal to their 10 grain rice and chia milk tea for a small token, making it even healthier!

Address: Orchard Paragon #04-36

4) Mikoto Singapore

This little joint is opened by a Japanese man so you can be sure that the food here is definitely Japanese! They served a really good steamed salmon, costing you $18, but tasted priceless. It is definitely worth your time and money to come by here for a meal.

Address: 60 Robertson Quay #01-12

5) Tanuki Raw

Tanuki Raw also serves up a great bowl of Bara Chirashi Don. It is cheaper than Senmi Sushi at $17 but of course the portion of the raw fish is also equally reduced. Nonetheless, it is still a steal for the ingredients that are really, really fresh.

Address: Orchard Central #02-03

6) The Sushi Bar

The Sushi Bar is another affordable place to have a decent Bara Chirashi Don. It is of a decent portion and will fill you up real good. At $22, it is affordable and reasonable for a bowl of freshness.

Address: Ngee Ann City #05-34/35

7) Tamoya

Tamoya serves really good udon. If you are a udon lover, you must come here to enjoy their udon. You can choose to have it in a rich golden broth (kake udon) or the thick soya sauce broth (sanuki udon). Either one cost you less than $10, so what are you waiting for?

Address: Liang Court, #01-32

8) Nanbentei

Nanbentei is only affordable for lunch, so do remember this if you wish to head there for dinner. During lunch, Nanbentei serves up an amazing Yakitori Bento at only $13.50. It has yakitori, quail eggs, mushroom and rice. To make it better, all skewers are charcoal-grilled to perfection so you will enjoy every single bite of this bento.

Address: Far East Plaza, #05-132

9) Teppei Japanese Restaurant

Teppei needs no introduction. The rejections we get in trying to book a seat is legendary, and the queue outside the shop every day says it all. Teppei serves a Bara Chirashi that packs more than a punch with its affordable price of $17.60. With the kind of freshness and quality, it is simply a must to try no matter how long the queue is.

Address: Orchid Hotel, #01-18

10) Koji Sushi Bar

It is better for you to go for dinner as it gets really packed for lunch (as it’s in CBD). Koji also serves a great bara chirashi and it cost you $17. With freshness guaranteed and quality in every bite, who is not in love with Koji? Other than Bara Chirashi, they also serve sushi sets that are affordable.

Address: China Square Central #01-42
