Sushi Zanmai
Highlights
About
Sushi Zanmai is one of Malaysia's most successful Japanese chains, with 36+ outlets over nearly two decades. Singapore debut late 2023 at Holland V, now 4 outlets. Queues at peak hours are already common.
280+ dishes spanning the full spectrum — hot pots, grills, tempura, rice bowls, noodles, desserts. Direct procurement from Toyosu Market tuna and Hokkaido scallops delivers high quality at prices well below most sit-down Japanese restaurants.
Single-piece pricing is remarkable: tamago S$0.80, salmon S$1.20, toro S$4.80. Conveyor belt prices with full-service restaurant experience — that's the winning formula.
Compass Verdict
A mid-range sushi chain bringing the Tokyo Tsukiji market experience to Singapore. Fresh sashimi and sushi at prices between conveyor chains and premium omakase. The lunch sets offer the best value.

Book Ahead or Arrive Early
Holland V and Katong outlets queue on weekends. Book ahead. Weekday lunches are easy walk-ins. Use QR code for the full 280+ menu.
Start with Single-Piece Sushi
Single-piece pricing lets you build your own tasting course. Start light with salmon, work up to toro. Fresh-made, cheaper than sets, more control.
Explore Beyond Sushi
280+ dishes means there's far more than sushi. Try the Mentai Spider Roll, Spicy Niku Nabe hot pot, mini temaki. Non-raw-fish eaters have extensive grilled and hot pot options.
Don't Skip Dessert
Cheesecake and hazelnut mocha cake at S$3.80 are absurdly good. Join the membership app for a S$5 welcome voucher.

Editor's Note
Sushi Zanmai has quietly disrupted Singapore's Japanese dining scene. Toro at S$4.80, salmon platter at S$16.80, at a proper sit-down restaurant? The 280-dish menu is absurdly deep. Two decades in Malaysia have refined operations to impressive consistency. Start with single-piece sushi, try the hot pots, join the app for S$5 off. One of the best-value Japanese restaurants in Singapore right now.
