Chikuwa Tei
About
One powerful idea: genuinely thick, fresh sashimi at honest prices. Chirashi Don S$25, Chirashi Kou S$35. Many restaurants charging twice the price fail to match this quality.
Heritage shophouse on Mohamed Sultan. Unpretentious interior. Part of The Yoi Group (Manzoku sister restaurant). Quality sashimi at accessible prices — executed more consistently than competitors.
18 bento sets — most comprehensive Japanese lunch in Robertson Quay. From S$12 (Ten Cha Soba) to S$48 (Chikuwa Tei Bento). For workers wanting solid Japanese lunch under S$20, hard to beat.

📍 Open in Google MapsThe Sashimi Standard
Generosity in a market where others have reduced portions while raising prices. Thick slices cut to be eaten, not photographed. Old-school sashimi quality — measured in thickness and freshness, not plating. Popular for over a decade.
Small, frequent fish shipments = consistent freshness. S$10-15 below comparable restaurants. Loyal following: expats, sashimi enthusiasts, and office workers who've made the S$25 chirashi their go-to lunch.
Your Dining Journey
Mohamed Sultan Walk
Mohamed Sultan is Robertson Quay's Japanese street. Bar counter is the best solo seat. Weekend lunch: arrive at 11:30am opening or queue.
Order the Chirashi
First-timers: Chirashi Kou S$35 for the full experience. Regulars: standard S$25 is dependably excellent. 18 bento sets for non-sashimi eaters.
The Thick Cut
The sashimi is visibly thicker than competitors. Each piece has substance. Ikura glistens, tamago is house-made. S$25 bowl delivering S$40+ quality.
Editor's Note
Thick, honest chirashi without S$50. Standard S$25 is one of Singapore's best-value bowls. Chirashi Kou S$35 worth the upgrade. 18 bento sets for value lunches. Mohamed Sultan Road: 3 excellent Japanese restaurants within 2 min walk.
