About Sushiro at Bedok Mall
Sushiro at Bedok Mall brings Japan's number one conveyor belt sushi chain to Singapore's East Coast heartland. Located at #B1-10 in the basement — directly connected to Bedok MRT station — the outlet captures massive foot traffic from commuters, shoppers, and the densely populated Bedok residential estate. Founded in Osaka in 1984, Sushiro (formally known as Akindo Sushiro) has grown to become Japan's largest kaiten-zushi chain by annual sales volume, serving an staggering 1.2+ billion plates per year across 700+ outlets. The brand entered Singapore in 2021 and currently operates 17 outlets. The Bedok Mall location is one of the busiest, driven by the area's large family population and the convenience of the MRT connection.
The menu features over 100 items across multiple categories: nigiri sushi (the core offering), gunkan (battleship sushi), maki rolls, sashimi, ramen, udon, tempura, karaage, chawanmushi, desserts (including Japanese cheesecake and matcha parfait), and seasonal limited-time specials. The seasonal items are a major draw — Sushiro rotates premium offerings like Hokkaido scallops, snow crab, wagyu, and uni every few weeks, creating urgency and repeat visits. The ordering system is fully digital: browse the menu on the tablet at your seat, tap to order, and your plates arrive via the bullet-train delivery lane within 2-3 minutes. The conveyor belt also carries a rotating selection for impulse picks. At the end, plates are counted automatically for billing. During peak hours (weekends 12-2pm, 6-8pm), a 60-minute dining limit applies.

The Sushiro Experience
Join the Queue
Bedok MRT Exit C into Bedok Mall B2, escalator down to B1. Sushiro is at #B1-10. During peak hours (weekends 12-2pm, 6-8pm), expect a queue of 30-60 minutes. Pro tip: download the Sushiro Singapore app and join the digital queue before arriving — this can save 15-20 minutes. Off-peak (weekdays 2-5pm): usually walk-in immediately. The check-in kiosk asks for party size and seating preference (counter or table).
Tablet Ordering
Once seated, the touch-screen tablet is your ordering portal. Browse by category: Nigiri, Gunkan, Rolls, Sashimi, Sides, Ramen, Desserts, Drinks. The menu has photos of every item. For first-timers: start with salmon (the benchmark for any sushi restaurant), then try aburi salmon (flame-seared), the seasonal special, and one side dish. Orders arrive via the bullet-train lane in 2-3 minutes. The conveyor belt also runs with rotating selections — grab anything that catches your eye.
The Sushiro Experience
What sets Sushiro apart from other conveyor belt chains is the freshness system: sushi plates on the belt have an IC chip that tracks how long they have been circulating. After a set time, plates are automatically removed to ensure freshness. When you order via tablet, your sushi is made to order and delivered fresh via the bullet-train lane — this is always fresher than picking from the belt. The automated plate counting system scans your stacked plates at the end for quick, accurate billing.
Bill & Go
When finished, press the "Check" button on the tablet. Staff will count your plates (the automated system scans the stack). Payment is at the counter — cash, card, and contactless accepted. Average bill: S$20-30 per person for 8-10 plates (a satisfying meal). Students and budget diners can eat well for under S$15 by focusing on standard plates. Remember the 60-minute limit during peak hours — but most meals comfortably finish within 45 minutes.
Kaiten-Zushi: The Democratic Sushi Revolution
Kaiten-zushi (回転寿司, revolving sushi) was invented in 1958 by Yoshiaki Shiraishi, who owned a small sushi shop in Osaka and was inspired by beer bottles moving on a conveyor belt in a brewery. His invention — placing sushi on small plates on a rotating belt — democratised sushi dining by eliminating the intimidation factor of traditional sushi counters where customers had to interact directly with the chef. For the first time, anyone could eat sushi without needing to know the proper etiquette, Japanese terminology, or seasonal fish names. Just sit down, grab what looks good, and pay by plate colour. This simple innovation transformed sushi from an elite dining experience into everyday food for everyone.
Sushiro, founded in Osaka in 1984, took the kaiten-zushi concept and scaled it to unprecedented heights through technology and supply chain innovation. By 2023, Sushiro had become Japan's largest sushi chain by revenue, surpassing even Kura Sushi and Hamazushi. The key innovations: direct sourcing from fishing ports (cutting out middlemen), automated freshness management (IC chips in plates), touch-screen ordering (reducing labour costs), and bullet-train delivery lanes (ensuring made-to-order freshness). In Singapore, Sushiro's 17 outlets have quickly become the benchmark for affordable quality sushi — and the Bedok Mall location serves the East Coast's large family demographic perfectly.
Editor's Note
Sushiro at Bedok Mall is the East Coast's best-value sushi destination — and it knows it, which is why the queues are real. The technology is genuinely impressive: the bullet-train delivery, automated freshness tracking, and tablet ordering create a seamless experience that makes other conveyor belt chains feel dated. The sushi quality at standard plates (S$2.20++) is solid — the salmon is consistently fresh, the tamago is well-made, and the rice has the right vinegar balance. The seasonal specials are where Sushiro shines brightest: the limited-time Hokkaido scallop and snow crab items are worth a special trip. Where it falls short: the 60-minute peak-hour limit can feel rushed for families, the ramen and udon are mediocre compared to dedicated ramen shops, and the desserts are average. But for what Sushiro does best — fresh, affordable, tech-powered kaiten sushi — nothing in Bedok comes close. Download the app, join the queue early, and focus on the seasonal specials and standard-plate sushi. Skip the cooked food.
