About

Sushi Tei (すし亭) has been a cornerstone of Singapore's Japanese dining scene since its founding in 1994. With over 20 outlets islandwide and a menu spanning 370+ dishes, Sushi Tei offers one of the most comprehensive Japanese dining experiences available outside Japan — covering sushi, sashimi, tempura, donburi, ramen, udon, nabemono (hotpot), yakimono (grilled dishes), and set meals. The One Holland Village outlet on Level 3 (#03-19/20) brings this massive menu to the heart of Holland Village, with Matsukiya — Sushi Tei's kushiyaki (grilled skewers) sister brand — conveniently located next door at #03-21.

The menu is Sushi Tei's greatest strength. Where specialist restaurants focus on one category (Ippudo = ramen, Gyukatsu Katsugyu = beef cutlet), Sushi Tei covers the entire breadth of Japanese cuisine under one roof. Sushi ranges from affordable salmon nigiri to premium aburi (torched) creations. The Dragon Roll (S$17.80) — king prawn tempura topped with avocado — is a perennial bestseller. Sashimi platters offer thick-cut fish in generous portions. Hot dishes include tonkatsu, karaage, grilled teriyaki, and various donburi bowls. The Una Bara Chirashi Don (S$22.80) combines mixed sashimi with premium unagi in a single bowl. This variety makes Sushi Tei the ideal choice for groups where different members want different things — everyone finds something on this menu.

The Holland Village location adds a unique dimension: Matsukiya (松きや), Sushi Tei's kushiyaki sister brand, operates right next door at #03-21. Matsukiya specialises in Japanese charcoal-grilled skewers (kushiyaki) using binchotan — premium Japanese white charcoal that burns hotter and cleaner than regular charcoal. Signature items include Bacon Ebi (S$8), Tsukune (S$7), and the showstopping Wagyu Ikura Don (S$58). The combination of Sushi Tei and Matsukiya on the same floor means you can order sushi from one and grilled skewers from the other — effectively creating a comprehensive izakaya experience at One Holland Village Level 3.

Compass Verdict

Should you eat here?

Sushi Tei at One Holland Village — the full-service Japanese chain for groups who cannot agree on what to eat. Sushi, sashimi, tempura, teppanyaki, everything on one menu. Not the most exciting option at OHV, but the most versatile. The safest group dinner choice.

Sushi Tei + Matsukiya Combo

The power move at OHV Level 3: dine at Sushi Tei for sushi and sashimi mains, then walk next door to Matsukiya (#03-21) for binchotan-grilled skewers as your 'second course.' This creates an izakaya-style multi-course experience unique to Holland Village. At Sushi Tei: Dragon Roll (S$17.80) + Salmon Sashimi (S$12.80) + edamame. At Matsukiya: Bacon Ebi (S$8) + Tsukune (S$7) + Asparagus (S$3). Total for two: approximately S$60–80 for a comprehensive Japanese feast.

Editor's Note

Our honest take

Sushi Tei at One Holland Village is the safe, reliable choice for Japanese dining in Holland Village — and that is meant as a genuine compliment. With 370+ dishes, it is impossible not to find something you love. The Dragon Roll and Una Bara Chirashi Don are the standouts. The adjacent Matsukiya adds a grilled-skewers dimension that no other sushi restaurant in the area can match. At S$15–30, Sushi Tei sits in the accessible mid-range — less expensive than Ippudo or Gyukatsu Katsugyu, more substantial than fast-casual options.

The Art of Japanese Menu Diversity

Sushi Tei's 370+ dish menu is not merely large — it represents the full spectrum of Japanese culinary tradition under one roof. Understanding the categories helps you navigate effectively. Sushi (寿司) — vinegared rice topped with fish or other ingredients. Nigiri (hand-pressed), maki (rolled), temaki (hand-rolled cone), gunkan (battleship). Sashimi (刺身) — sliced raw fish without rice. The purest test of fish quality. Yakimono (焼き物) — grilled dishes. Teriyaki, shioyaki (salt-grilled), misoyaki. The char and smoke add depth. Tempura (天ぷら) — battered and deep-fried seafood and vegetables. Light, crispy, not heavy like Western fried food. Nabemono (鍋物) — hotpot/soup dishes. Shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, and various nabe for communal dining. Donburi (丼) — rice bowls topped with various proteins and sauces. Quick, satisfying, complete meals. Agemono (揚げ物) — deep-fried dishes beyond tempura. Tonkatsu, karaage, korokke. Nimono (煮物) — simmered dishes. Slow-cooked, flavourful, comfort food. Menrui (麺類) — noodle dishes. Ramen, udon, soba. This categorical breadth is what distinguishes a full-service Japanese restaurant like Sushi Tei from specialist outlets. At Ippudo, you get world-class ramen but nothing else. At Gyukatsu Katsugyu, you get exceptional beef cutlet but nothing else. At Sushi Tei, you get good-to-very-good versions of everything — the jack-of-all-trades that a comprehensive Japanese dining experience requires. For families and groups with varied preferences, this versatility is invaluable: the sushi lover, the tempura fan, the ramen craver, and the teriyaki enthusiast all eat at the same table, from the same kitchen, at the same time.

One Holland Village Level 3: The Japanese Floor

Level 3 of One Holland Village has effectively become a dedicated Japanese dining floor. Sushi Tei (#03-19/20) anchors the level with comprehensive sushi and Japanese cuisine. Matsukiya (#03-21), right next door, adds binchotan charcoal-grilled kushiyaki — creating a natural izakaya pairing (sushi from one, skewers from the other). Ginkyo by Kinki (#03-01 to 04) occupies a large corner space with modern Japanese fusion bistro dining — stunning interior design, creative cocktails, and dishes that blend Japanese technique with global ingredients. This trio creates a dining floor where you could spend an entire evening: start with appetisers and cocktails at Ginkyo, move to Sushi Tei for mains, and finish with grilled skewers at Matsukiya. Alternatively, families can split across restaurants — parents at Ginkyo for the sophisticated atmosphere while older children enjoy sushi at Sushi Tei next door (the restaurants are literally adjacent). This concentration of three distinct Japanese dining concepts on a single floor is unique in Singapore's suburban mall landscape and reflects the developer's strategic decision to position One Holland Village as a premium dining destination. For visitors arriving via Holland Village MRT (CC21), take the escalator to Level 3 for the full Japanese experience.

Singapore's Sushi Revolution: From 1994 to Today

When Sushi Tei opened its first outlet in 1994, Japanese sushi in Singapore was largely confined to hotel restaurants and high-end dining rooms in the Orchard Road corridor — priced beyond the reach of everyday diners. Sushi Tei changed the equation by proving that quality Japanese sushi could be served in a casual, accessible format at mid-range prices. The timing was perfect: Singapore's economic growth in the 1990s created a middle class hungry for international cuisine, and the Japanese food boom was just beginning. Over the next three decades, Sushi Tei expanded to 20+ outlets islandwide, training an entire generation of Singaporeans to appreciate Japanese cuisine. Today's diverse landscape of Japanese dining in Singapore — from S$1.80 conveyor belt sushi at Sushiro to S$500 omakase at Shoukouwa — can trace its roots in part to Sushi Tei's pioneering role in making Japanese food a mainstream dining category rather than an exotic luxury. The One Holland Village outlet represents the latest chapter: a return to the neighbourhood where expatriate families first created demand for quality Japanese food decades ago, now serving a new generation of Holland Village residents who have grown up with sushi as a regular part of their dining repertoire. The 370+ dish menu has evolved significantly from the original 1994 offerings — incorporating aburi (torched) sushi techniques, creative fusion rolls, and premium items like the Una Bara Chirashi Don — but the core philosophy remains unchanged: authentic Japanese food, freshly prepared, at prices that make regular visits feasible.
