Craving fresh sushi without the fine-dining bill? We compared the 6 best value sushi chains in Singapore for 2026 plate for plate, starting with the three people always weigh against each other: Sushiro vs Genki vs Sushi Express. On price per plate Sushi Express is the floor at $1.50++ for white plates islandwide, Genki sits just above it at $1.80++, and Sushiro costs the most (its four plate tiers run $2.30++, $2.90++, $3.90++ and $4.90++) but serves the best fish of the three. Live now: Sushiro's Mid-Autumn 'To the Moon and Back!' fair islandwide (Part 2 to 6 October), with a Lunar Seaweed Imo-Mochi with Honey Butter at $2.30++, a Crab and Salmon Roe Mountain Wrap at $3.90++ and a Lunar Tuna with Uni at $6.90++; Genki's Salmon Feast from $1.80++ (Yaki Salmon Sushi), its Crayon Shinchan menu to 8 November and weekday lunch sets from $7.90++; Sushi Tei's Rewards-member 50% off weekday lunch, 3 August to 29 October, and a +$2.50 lunch side add-on open to everyone; Sakae Sushi, now down to just two Singapore outlets, with 1-for-1 matcha and hojicha lattes; and charcoal sushiya Sushi Zushi, whose famous $1 Sushi Madness is no longer published anywhere on its rebuilt site, leaving a printed menu that starts at $3 a piece. For each we list plate and set prices, what to order, outlets and the exact promo with its end date. Prices exclude 10% service charge and 9% GST unless marked 'nett'; none of these chains is halal-certified.
Six value sushi chains, priced plate for plate: Sushiro vs Genki vs Sushi Express, plus Sushi Tei, Sakae and Sushi Zushi.
> Quick view: cheapest plate is Sushi Express at $1.50++; Sushiro is the best fish and starts at $2.30++. Live now: Sushiro's Mid-Autumn fair islandwide (Part 2, 23 Sep to 6 Oct) and Sushi Tei's member lunch at 50% off (to 29 Oct). Catch: '++' adds 19.9%, and none of these chains is halal-certified.
The gold standard for conveyor-belt sushi: Sushiro is Japan's No.1 kaiten-sushi chain, known for premium cuts, express delivery lanes and seasonal fairs. Everyday plates run from $2.30++ on a printed ladder of $2.30++ / $2.90++ / $3.90++ / $4.90++, the priciest of the three big conveyor chains here, and the one worth paying for if the fish is the point. Its Mid-Autumn 'To the Moon and Back!' fair runs 9 September to 6 October 2026 and opened with Part 1, from 9 to 22 September, read off Sushiro's own poster (re-checked 14 Sep 2026): Lunar Grilled Eel Egg Omelette Roll, Lunar Osaka Fried Squid Nigiri, Moonlight Crispy Rice Natto Wrap and Lunar Hokkaido Cheese Imo-Mochi with Mentai Mayo at $2.30++; Lunar Mushroom Hamburg with Grated Radish, Big Cut Albacore Tuna with Wasabi Mayo and Tairagi Shellfish with Egg Yolk Soy Sauce Wrap at $2.90++; Lunar Salmon Rose, Sweet Shrimp & Roes in Egg Yolk Soy Sauce and Moon Moon Takoyaki with Wasabi Mayo at $3.90++; Kyoto-style Udon with Kujo Leeks at $6.30++; and two items tagged 'till 22 Sep', a Marinated Uni Wrap at $3.90++ and a Hokkaido Aburi Soy Sauce Scallop with Ikura at $4.90++, all while stocks last. Part 2 took over on 23 September and runs to 6 October (Sushiro's own post, re-checked 28 Sep 2026): Lunar Tuna with Uni $6.90++, Lunar Seaweed Imo-Mochi with Honey Butter $2.30++ and a Crab and Salmon Roe Mountain Wrap $3.90++, while stocks last. The 7th anniversary campaign (12 August to 8 September) is over, including its Part 2 menu and the $30-receipt ANA lucky draw. Two earlier deals have also closed: the Orchard Gateway opening 1-for-1 ran 21 August to 3 September 2026, and the SG61 birthday promo of selected items at $6.1++ ended 11 August. The Sushi Dog at $2.90++, launched 29 July 2026, no longer appears on the standard printed menu or the promo page, so check in store before making the trip for it. The 'Hokkaido Harvest & Tohoku Treasures' fair of 25 northern-Japan dishes ended 4 August 2026. 22 trading outlets islandwide: Tiong Bahru Plaza, Wisma Atria, Isetan Scotts (Shaw House), Suntec City, Jewel Changi Airport, Tampines 1, Waterway Point, Causeway Point, Bedok Mall, Lot One, Thomson Plaza, Perennial Business City, The Linq (Upper Bukit Timah), Mandai Wildlife, Holland Road, Square 2, Our Tampines Hub, New Bahru, 100AM, Chinatown Point, myVillage @ Serangoon Garden and Orchard Gateway (277 Orchard Road, #B1-07/08, linked to Somerset MRT), all daily 11am to 10pm with last order 9.30pm, except Jewel which opens at 10am. Three things the outlet lists elsewhere get wrong: there is NO Sushiro at Westgate, Funan, IMM or Bugis Junction; Taste Orchard is permanently closed and Parkway Parade temporarily closed; and a 23rd outlet at Hougang Mall (90 Hougang Ave 10, #02-23/24) is listed on the locator as opening 1 October 2026. One pricing catch worth knowing: Sushiro Mandai Wildlife Reserve is a 'Digiro' outlet with its own menu, and its four tiers are $2.60++ / $3.20++ / $4.20++ / $5.20++, about 13% above the standard card, a difference Sushiro's promo posters also flag in their footer. Sushiro takes no phone or web bookings: reservations run through its free Singapore Sushiro app (iOS and Android).BEST FOR: sushi lovers who want Japan-quality plates and limited-run seasonal cuts at chain prices.
Mid-Autumn 'To the Moon and Back!' fair islandwide 9 Sep to 6 Oct 2026, now on its Part 2 menu (23 Sep to 6 Oct, re-checked 28 Sep): Lunar Seaweed Imo-Mochi with Honey Butter $2.30++, Crab and Salmon Roe Mountain Wrap $3.90++, Lunar Tuna with Uni $6.90++. While stocks last; prices differ at the Mandai Digiro outlet.
Expired
A family favourite with express-train delivery: Genki Sushi serves colour-plated conveyor sushi delivered on mini bullet trains rather than circling on a belt, which is why plates tend to arrive fresher and why it wins with kids and big tables. Its Dai Man Zoku sharing range ended on 20 September 2026. The headline now is a Crayon Shinchan collaboration, 24 September to 8 November 2026: a Signature Cheesy Ebi Fry Taco at $3.20, Mentai Cheese Baby Scallop $3.90, Tako Karaage with Mentai Mayo $5.60, Miso Butter Corn Ramen $8.60, Shinchan Cheeky Chicken Katsu Rice $8.90 and an Irodori Sashimi Platter $12.60, plus a gachapon-style spin for every $50 nett spent (Genki vouchers, Shinchan cup holders, phone straps and cable clips) and a Shinchan thermal lunch bag at $10.90, or $7.90 with a DBS/POSB card and $6.90 for Genki members. Also on, with no end date printed: 'Genki's Biggest Salmon Show', over 40 salmon items from Yaki Salmon Sushi at $1.80 and Salmon Sushi at $2.90 through Extra Long Salmon Sushi ($3.50), Triple Stack Salmon Belly Gokaimori ($6.20) and a Salmon Oyako Sashimi Platter ($12.90), so $1.80++ is still the floor plate. Weekday lunch remains the best-value slot: five lunch sets, Best Value $7.90, Sushi Soba $10.90, Tendon $11.90, All Salmon $13.90 and Premium Dai Man Zoku $13.90, plus a meal-combo add-on from $3.90, weekdays 11am to 5pm, not on public holidays, their eves or special occasions. Every Genki price here is subject to 10% service charge and GST, per the footer of its own posters. Note the Sembawang Shopping Centre opening deal (2 sushi for $2.20) ended on 31 July 2026; that outlet is still open. 22 outlets, from Genki's own locator (re-checked 29 Sep 2026): Chinatown Point, Bugis+, Waterway Point, Junction 8, Westgate (#03-05), Tampines Mall (#03-26/27), Suntec City (#02-456/457, Tower 1), City Square Mall, Plaza Singapura, Hillion Mall, NEX, VivoCity, Northpoint City, Compass One, Jurong Point, United Square (#B1-07/08), i12 Katong, SingPost Centre, The Woodleigh Mall, 313@somerset, Pasir Ris Mall (#B1-33) and Sembawang Shopping Centre. Most open daily 11am to 10pm (last order 9.45pm), but City Square Mall, United Square, i12 Katong and Pasir Ris Mall close at 9pm Monday to Thursday (last order 8.45pm). Queue number: there are no table bookings, but Genki Club and Premium members can take a queue number for their chosen outlet in the Genki Sushi app before they arrive, and Premium members get a shorter VIP express queue. Membership is free; spending $68 within 62 days lifts you to Club.BEST FOR: families and kids (the train delivery is a hit), and anyone who wants a proper weekday lunch set under $10.

The go-to for cheap-and-cheerful conveyor sushi: Sushi Express (and sister brands Sushi Plus and 争鲜gogo) prices its signature white plates at just $1.50++ each every day, no membership or promo needed, one of the lowest standing sushi prices in Singapore, and the figure its own menu banner still leads with. Its current feature range is 'Salmon Elevated' at $3++ a plate: Foie Gras Salmon with Berry Glaze, Salmon with Sweet Shrimp Salad and a Salmon Crystal Roll. That has replaced the Cheese Series on the brand's own banner, though cheese plates (cheddar salmon belly, cheddar shrimp, cheesy thick-cut unagi, salmon with peach and cheese) remain on the a la carte menu. New on its homepage banner: 'Zermatt's Protein Picks', created with competitive eater Zermatt Neo, which prints each plate's protein count: a Saba Power Roll at $1.50++ (6.1g), an Ebi Tamago Boost at $2++ (6.8g) and a Golden Egg Hanamaki at $3++ (6g); no end date is printed. One thing to cross off: the Sushi Plus all-you-can-eat sitting at $61 nett for 2 pax, $35 nett for a third, was an SG61 promotion that ran Tuesdays through August 2026 only, and no September dates have been announced, so do not travel for it. The group runs 39 outlets across its three brands: 21 Sushi Express (IMM, Westgate, Funan, Changi City Point, NEX, Jurong Point, Parkway Parade, Century Square and more), 15 争鲜gogo takeaway counters (Junction 8, Toa Payoh HDB Hub, Tampines MRT and other transit sites) and 3 Sushi Plus (313@Somerset, Bugis Junction, Tampines 1), with occasional outlet-opening days at $1.50++ across ALL plates. Note there is no Sushi Express at VivoCity.BEST FOR: students, families and anyone who just wants to eat a lot of decent sushi for as little as possible.
Everyday white plates at $1.50++ each islandwide, no membership needed, plus a 'Salmon Elevated' range at $3++ a plate (Foie Gras Salmon with Berry Glaze, Salmon with Sweet Shrimp Salad, Salmon Crystal Roll). New on its homepage (re-checked 29 Sep): 'Zermatt's Protein Picks' (Saba Power Roll $1.50++, Ebi Tamago Boost $2++, Golden Egg Hanamaki $3++). The Sushi Plus $61 nett all-you-can-eat was an SG61 promo that ran Tuesdays through August 2026 and has no September dates announced.
When you want a proper sit-down Japanese meal rather than a $1.50 plate: Sushi Tei is a full a la carte restaurant with sushi, sashimi, cooked mains, ramen and lunch sets (from about $13.80++), across malls islandwide (JEM, VivoCity, Marina Square, Paragon and more). Its standout deal is a fresh three-month run: Rewards members get 50% OFF a rotating weekday lunch dish from 3 August to 29 October 2026. Monday is Hokkaido Shirobuta Pork Belly Tamago Toji at $5.90 (U.P. $11.80), Tuesday the Kani Mentai Mayo Roll at $5.90 (U.P. $11.80), Wednesday Salmon Sashimi at $5.40 (U.P. $10.80) and Thursday Chicken Katsu at $5.40 (U.P. $10.80). Terms: Mon to Thu 11.30am to 4.30pm, dine-in only, one redemption per table per bill, minimum $20 subtotal, excluding public holidays and their eves. Membership is $68 including GST, valid one year, and gives you ST$80 to spend immediately, a standing 10% rebate on your next bill with no minimum spend, and a 20% rebate through your birthday month (it does not cover the Hokkaido-ya brand). If you would rather not join, the other lunch deal is open to everyone: add any one side dish to a Donburi or Noodles main for +$2.50, Monday to Thursday 11.30am to 4.30pm, dine-in only, one side per main, with sides including chawanmushi, chicken karaage (3pcs), yuzu sorbet and matcha ice cream. It does not stack with membership rebates.BEST FOR: quality-conscious diners, date nights and office lunches who want fresher, made-to-order Japanese food and don't mind joining the rewards programme.
Rewards members: 50% OFF a rotating weekday lunch dish, 3 Aug to 29 Oct 2026 (Mon pork belly tamago toji $5.90, Tue kani mentai mayo roll $5.90, Wed salmon sashimi $5.40, Thu chicken katsu $5.40). Mon to Thu 11.30am to 4.30pm, dine-in only, one serving per member per table per bill, min $20 subtotal, not valid on public holidays or their eves.

Valid till 29 Oct 2026
The homegrown chain that has been feeding sushi lovers here for 25+ years, but check the map before you go, because Sakae Sushi is no longer a mall chain. Its own store locator now lists just two Singapore restaurants, and both trade as co-branded concepts: Sakae Sushi / Starlight Cafe at 217 East Coast Road, #01-01, and Sakae Sushi X Jeju Wok at 28 Boon Lay Way, #01-175/176 Tradehub 21, the latter also serving teppanyaki and Korean dishes. Both now run 11am to 9.30pm every day, Friday to Sunday included (last order 9pm), with dine-in, takeaway and delivery at each. The promotions have turned over completely too: 1-for-1 on the Matcha and Hojicha Latte Series at both outlets until 1 January 2027; a Thai Rice Special Set at $14.90++ (deep-fried salmon, chicken katsu or ebi fry in spicy Thai sauce with rice and an iced Thai milk tea, with salmon sashimi (+$4) or a tom yum fried rice upgrade (+$3.50) as add-ons) at the East Coast Road outlet only, until 12 March 2027, with the terms explicitly saying it is not valid at Tradehub; and a second bottle of Nanawarai Junmaishu Sake at 50% off until 25 March 2027. The old $10 Japanese Meal Sets, the free-sides-with-any-platter delivery offer and the Maybank weekly card deals are no longer listed on its site. Its loyalty scheme earns 1 point per S$1 spent across four tiers (Neko, Wasabi, Sakura, Mount Fuji), redeemable for vouchers.BEST FOR: east-side and Boon Lay diners who want variety beyond sushi, meaning rice bowls, ramen, teppanyaki and Korean, rather than a mall conveyor belt.
1-for-1 Matcha & Hojicha Latte Series at both outlets till 1 Jan 2027. Thai Rice Special Set at $14.90++ (with iced Thai milk tea) at the East Coast Road outlet only, till 12 Mar 2027, not valid at Tradehub. Second bottle of Nanawarai Junmaishu Sake at 50% off till 25 Mar 2027.
Valid till 1 Jan 2027
For a more artisanal-feeling meal without fine-dining prices: Sushi Zushi is a made-to-order sushiya, and its Westgate outlet (3 Gateway Drive, #03-01) trades as Sushi Zushi Charcoal Grill & Sushiya, built around a genshi-yaki sandpit grill burning binchotan charcoal, with whole prawns, scallops and seasonal catch cooked to order in full view alongside an open sushi counter. Charcoal-grilled unagi and aburi nigiri are the picks to order, and there is a curated sake, cocktail and Japanese bar-snack list. Price check before you go: this guide previously led with a '$1 Sushi Madness' promotion, and that offer, along with the $4 Specials of the Month and the 1-for-1 handrolls, no longer appears anywhere on Sushi Zushi's rebuilt website. Both live menu PDFs (Westgate and Funan) price nigiri, aburi and gunkan from $3, handrolls and sashimi from $4, charcoal-grill items from $4.80 and sushi sets at $12 to $13, so treat $3 a piece as the real floor and ask in store whether any in-store promotion is running. Three outlets: Westgate, Funan (107 North Bridge Road, #02-01) and Bugis Junction (200 Victoria Street, #B1-K21/22). Walk-ins only, no reservations, and hours differ by outlet: Westgate runs a split day, 11.30am to 4pm (last order 3.30pm) and 5.30pm to 9.30pm (last order 9pm); Funan follows the same split Mon to Fri but stays open straight through 11.30am to 9.30pm on Saturday and Sunday; Bugis trades 11.30am to 9.30pm daily, with a takeaway-only coffee and snacks counter running 11.30am to 8.30pm.BEST FOR: sushi fans who want counter-fresh, charcoal-grilled sushi and are happy to pay sushiya prices rather than conveyor-belt ones.

Prices below are per plate or set and exclude the usual 10% service charge and 9% GST unless marked 'nett'. One important note: none of these chains is MUIS halal-certified, and most serve alcohol, so Muslim diners should look for dedicated halal Japanese restaurants instead.
These are the three most-compared conveyor-belt chains in Singapore, and the honest summary is that they sit on a straight ladder: Sushi Express is cheapest, Genki is in the middle, Sushiro is the most expensive and has the best fish.
| Cheapest plate | Lunch set | Best at | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sushi Express | $1.50++ (white) | None | Lowest possible bill, most outlets |
| Genki Sushi | $1.80++ (Yaki Salmon) | From $7.90++, 11am-5pm weekdays | Families, cooked menu, bullet-train delivery |
| Sushiro | $2.30++ | None | Fish quality, seasonal fairs, limited items |
Genki is cheaper; Sushiro is better. Genki's plates start at $1.80++ (Yaki Salmon Sushi in its Salmon Feast) against Sushiro's $2.30++, and Genki's weekday lunch sets from $7.90++ have no equivalent at Sushiro, so a comparable meal at Sushiro usually lands 20% to 40% higher.
What you get for the difference is real, though. Sushiro is Japan's No.1 kaiten-sushi chain, and it puts that to work in the cuts and in the seasonal fairs. The 'Hokkaido Harvest & Tohoku Treasures' run of 25 northern-Japan dishes ended 4 August 2026 and the SG61 promo that took its place ended 11 August, so what is live now is the Mid-Autumn 'To the Moon and Back!' fair (Part 2, 23 Sep to 6 Oct, islandwide), which adds plates from $2.30++, such as a Lunar Seaweed Imo-Mochi with Honey Butter, up to a Lunar Tuna with Uni at $6.90++. Genki's counter-argument isn't price alone: plates are made to order and delivered by mini bullet train rather than circling on a belt, the table-side screens make big orders painless, and the cooked menu (donburi, ramen, sides) is wider.
Go Sushiro when the fish is the point and the bill isn't. Go Genki for a weekday lunch, a meal with kids, or a table of six.
This is the widest quality gap of the three. Sushi Express is $1.50++ a white plate; Sushiro's cheapest plate is $2.30++, 80 cents more per plate, or about $8 across a ten-plate meal. For that you get noticeably better fish, thicker cuts, and access to seasonal items Sushi Express simply doesn't run.
Sushi Express's case is volume and reach: it has far more outlets, and its $1.50++ white plates need no membership, code or timing. If the goal is to eat a lot of decent sushi for as little as possible, nothing here beats it. If you're eating sushi as the occasion rather than as the cheap option, the $8 is worth it.
A common mix-up worth clearing up, because the chains cluster in different malls:
These two get compared the most, and they win on different things:
Short answer: go Sushi Express if price per plate is the whole point; go Genki if you want a bit more range and don't mind paying about 30 cents more a plate.
Promos and prices change and opening deals are outlet-specific, so always confirm the current offer and terms on each brand's official channels before you head down.
Sushiro prices by plate colour, and its printed menu has four tiers, so 'is Sushiro expensive?' depends entirely on which plate you reach for.
| Plate | Price | What sits on it |
|---|---|---|
| Red | $2.30++ ($2.76 nett) | Tuna, salmon, engawa, inari, tamago, shrimp, most everyday nigiri and gunkan |
| Silver | $2.90++ ($3.48 nett) | Big cut fresh salmon, albacore, grilled eel, beef galbi, aburi salmon cheese |
| Gold | $3.90++ ($4.68 nett) | Medium fatty tuna, young yellowtail, salmon belly with ikura, premium aburi conger eel |
| Black | $4.90++ ($5.88 nett) | Bluefin fatty tuna, jumbo scallop, fresh red snapper, braised kurobuta pork |
Nett figures add 10% service charge then 9% GST. A ten-plate meal off the red tier lands around $28 nett; the same ten plates from the black tier are closer to $59.
One outlet does not use that ladder. Sushiro Mandai Wildlife Reserve is a 'Digiro' outlet with its own printed menu, and every tier is dearer: $2.60++ / $3.20++ / $4.20++ / $5.20++, roughly 13% above the standard card, with the same items on each colour. Sushiro's promo posters carry the same warning in their footer. If you are pricing a meal at the zoo, use the Digiro numbers.
All three are the same company. Sushi Express Group runs Sushi Express (21 mall conveyor-belt restaurants), 争鲜gogo (15 grab-and-go counters at MRT stations and HDB hubs, which is what people mean when they search 'Sushi GO') and Sushi Plus (3 newer conveyor outlets at 313@Somerset, Bugis Junction and Tampines 1), 39 outlets in total. The $1.50++ white plate is the shared floor price. Sushi Plus is the one that periodically runs an all-you-can-eat sitting: its most recent was an SG61 promotion at $61 nett for 2 pax on Tuesdays through August 2026, which has ended and has no September dates announced.
For plain everyday pricing, Sushi Express is the cheapest: its white plates are $1.50++ each at every outlet, with no membership or promo code needed. Genki Sushi is next, with plates from $1.80++ (Yaki Salmon Sushi in its Salmon Feast, now that the Dai Man Zoku range ended on 20 September 2026). Sushiro sits highest of the three big conveyor-belt chains, with plates from $2.30++ (its ladder runs $2.30++/$2.90++/$3.90++/$4.90++). Sushi Zushi is no longer the per-piece bargain it was: its '$1 Sushi Madness' has come off its website entirely, and both live menu PDFs start at $3 a piece, so it is now the dearest per piece on this list, not the cheapest. Remember most of these '++' prices add 10% service charge and 9% GST, so a $1.50++ plate is about $1.80 once it hits the bill and a 10-plate meal is closer to $18 than $15.
Genki Sushi is cheaper; Sushiro serves better fish. On price, Genki's plates start at $1.80++ (Yaki Salmon Sushi) and its weekday lunch sets start at $7.90++ for a full set with 11am to 5pm availability, while Sushiro's cheapest plate is $2.30++ and its other three tiers run $2.90++, $3.90++ and $4.90++, so a like-for-like meal at Sushiro typically runs 20% to 40% more. On quality, Sushiro is Japan's No.1 kaiten-sushi chain and it shows in the cuts and in the seasonal fairs. The 'Hokkaido Harvest & Tohoku Treasures' run of 25 northern-Japan dishes ended 4 August 2026 and the SG61 promo that followed ended 11 August, and what is on now is its Mid-Autumn 'To the Moon and Back!' fair (Part 2, 23 September to 6 October), where the new plates start at $2.30++ and a Lunar Tuna with Uni tops out at $6.90++. Genki's edge outside price is the format: made-to-order plates delivered by mini bullet train rather than circling on a belt, table-side ordering screens, and a broader cooked menu of donburi, ramen and sides, which is why it wins with families and larger groups. Pick Sushiro when the fish is the point and you're happy to pay for it; pick Genki for a weekday lunch, a kids' dinner or a big table. And if neither the fish nor the format matters and you just want the lowest possible bill, Sushi Express undercuts them both at $1.50++ a white plate.
Two, and both are worth knowing. Sakae Sushi has 1-for-1 on its Matcha and Hojicha Latte Series at both its remaining outlets until 1 January 2027, which is the only standing 1-for-1 left on this list. For half-price, Sushi Tei's Rewards-member weekday lunch specials run from 3 August to 29 October 2026: a different dish at 50% off each day, Monday to Thursday, 11.30am to 4.30pm, dine-in, minimum $20 subtotal per table. Several 1-for-1s that were live in August have now expired and are worth crossing off. Sushiro's Orchard Gateway opening 1-for-1 ran 21 August to 3 September 2026 and is done, its SG61 promo ($6.1++ picks) ended 11 August, and Sushi Express's sister brand Sushi Plus ran an SG61 all-you-can-eat sitting at $61 nett for 2 pax on Tuesdays through August with no September dates announced. The biggest change is at Sushi Zushi: its 1-for-1 handrolls and '$1 Sushi Madness' are no longer published anywhere on its rebuilt website, so treat its printed menu (from $3 a piece) as the price and ask in store whether anything is running. What is on without being a discount: Sushiro's Mid-Autumn fair, with a Part 2 menu to 6 October and new plates from $2.30++; its 7th anniversary menu and ANA lucky draw ended on 8 September. Opening and anniversary deals are outlet-specific and time-limited, so check each brand's official channels before heading down.
'Sushi GO' is how most people refer to 争鲜gogo, the grab-and-go arm of Sushi Express Group, so yes, it is the same company as Sushi Express rather than a rival chain. The group runs 39 Singapore outlets across three formats: 21 Sushi Express conveyor-belt restaurants in malls, 15 争鲜gogo takeaway counters at MRT stations and HDB hubs (Ang Mo Kio Hub, Toa Payoh HDB Hub, Tampines MRT, Junction 8 and more), and 3 Sushi Plus conveyor outlets at 313@Somerset, Bugis Junction and Tampines 1. The $1.50++ white plate is the shared floor price across the group. Against Genki Sushi the comparison is really a format one: 争鲜gogo sells pre-packed boxes to take away with no service charge on a takeaway counter transaction, while Genki is a sit-down conveyor restaurant with made-to-order plates on bullet-train lanes, weekday lunch sets from $7.90++ and a full cooked menu. Go 争鲜gogo when you want cheap sushi in hand on the way home; go Genki when you want to sit down, especially with kids or a big table.
Yes. Sushiro, Genki Sushi, Sushi Express, Sushi Tei and Sakae Sushi all add 10% service charge and 9% GST on top of the menu price. That is what the '++' after a price means, and it is why your bill always lands higher than the plates suggest. The combined uplift is 19.9%, not 19%, because GST is charged on the subtotal after service charge, so a $2.30++ Sushiro plate is $2.76 nett, a $1.50++ Sushi Express white plate is $1.80 nett, and a $6.10++ item is $7.31 nett. A quick rule of thumb: multiply by 1.2 and you will be within a couple of cents. Prices marked 'nett' already include both, so nothing is added. Genki Sushi is '++' too, even though its website lists bare figures: the footer of its own posters says prices are subject to 10% service charge and prevailing GST, so its $1.80++ plate is $2.16 nett and a $7.90++ lunch set is $9.48 nett. Minimum-spend thresholds are usually measured on the subtotal before service charge and GST, which matters for deals like Sushi Tei's $20 minimum.
Sushiro prices by plate colour and its printed menu has exactly four tiers: $2.30++, $2.90++, $3.90++ and $4.90++. The $2.30++ red plate covers most of the everyday menu, including tuna, salmon, engawa, inari, tamago, shrimp, the gunkan and the maki rolls. $2.90++ buys big cut fresh salmon, albacore, grilled eel, beef galbi and the aburi salmon cheese range; $3.90++ gets medium fatty tuna, young yellowtail and salmon belly with ikura; $4.90++ is the top plate, with bluefin fatty tuna, jumbo scallop, fresh red snapper and braised kurobuta pork. Add 10% service charge and 9% GST and those become $2.76, $3.48, $4.68 and $5.88 nett. So Sushiro is the priciest of Singapore's three big conveyor chains, 80 cents a plate above Sushi Express, but a ten-plate red-tier meal is still only about $28 nett. One outlet is dearer than all of that: Sushiro Mandai Wildlife Reserve is a 'Digiro' outlet with a separate printed menu whose four tiers are $2.60++, $3.20++, $4.20++ and $5.20++, about 13% above the standard card, with the same items on each colour.
Sushiro Singapore has no paid membership scheme. Unlike Sushi Tei, there is no joining fee and no members-only price list. What it has is a free app, Singapore Sushiro, on both iOS and Android, and that app is the only way to reserve: the brand takes no phone or web bookings, and its reservation page simply points you to the download. Bookings for the Orchard Gateway outlet opened in the app on 14 August 2026. Its 7th-anniversary ANA lucky draw, which gave a scratch card for every single receipt of $30 or more from 12 August to 8 September 2026, has ended and nothing has replaced it, so for now the app is purely for booking.
No. Sushi Zushi is not MUIS halal-certified at any of its three outlets, Westgate, Funan or Bugis. It is a charcoal sushiya (genshi-yaki) whose menu includes pork and alcohol, so it does not hold halal certification and has not applied for it, and neither its website nor any outlet displays a MUIS certificate. There is no separate halal kitchen and no halal-certified branch. Muslim diners who want conveyor-belt or counter sushi should look for a restaurant displaying a current MUIS certificate, since certification in Singapore is granted per outlet and can lapse or change: a brand being certified at one branch never means every branch is.
No. None of the major sushi chains in this list, meaning Sushiro, Genki Sushi, Sushi Express, Sushi Tei, Sakae Sushi and Sushi Zushi, is MUIS halal-certified, and most serve alcohol (sake, beer) alongside non-halal items. Muslim diners looking for Japanese food should look for specifically halal-certified Japanese restaurants instead, and Singapore does have MUIS-certified options. Always check for a displayed MUIS certificate rather than assuming, as certification is outlet-specific and can change.
Conveyor-belt (kaiten) chains like Sushiro, Genki and Sushi Express send colour-coded plates around a belt or via express delivery lanes. You grab what you want and pay by plate, which is fast, casual and cheap ($1.50 to $2.90 a plate). A sushiya like Sushi Zushi is more of a made-to-order counter concept: sushi and handrolls are prepared fresh, often with a charcoal grill (genshi-yaki) for items like unagi and aburi, so it feels a notch more artisanal, and its menu is priced to match at $3 a piece and up. Sushi Tei sits in between, a sit-down a la carte restaurant with cooked dishes and sets as well as sushi.
For some deals, yes. Sushi Tei's 50%-off weekday lunch specials (3 August to 29 October 2026) are exclusive to Rewards members. Sign-up is $68 and gives you ST$80 to spend immediately, and members also get a 20% birthday-month rebate, so the joining fee effectively pays for itself on the first couple of visits. Sushiro has no paid membership at all: its free Singapore Sushiro app (iOS and Android) is simply how you reserve a table, and it is the only booking channel. Genki Sushi's membership is free in its app: spend $68 within 62 days to reach Genki Club (1 point per $10, 10 points = $5 off) or $588 within 365 days for Genki Premium (10 points = $10 off), and Club and Premium members can also take a queue number in the app before they arrive, and Sakae Sushi's scheme earns 1 point per S$1 across four tiers (Neko, Wasabi, Sakura, Mount Fuji). Sushi Zushi publishes no membership or loyalty scheme at all: there is no sign-up, card or app on its website, all three outlets are walk-in only with no reservations, and the menu price is the price. Plenty of other deals need no membership either, including Sushi Express's $1.50++ white plates, Sushiro's Mid-Autumn fair menu, and Sushi Tei's +$2.50 lunch side add-on. Signing up for a chain's free app is still worth it for e-vouchers and members-only prices.
Genki Sushi takes no table reservations. Instead, Genki Club and Premium members can check the queue and take a queue number for a chosen outlet in the Genki Sushi app (iOS and Android) before leaving home, and Premium members get a VIP express queue with a shorter wait. Basic sign-up is free with a Singapore mobile number; spend $68 within 62 days to become a Club member, or $588 within 365 days for Premium. Genki's own locator lists 22 outlets, including Tampines Mall (#03-26/27), Westgate (3 Gateway Drive #03-05), Suntec City (#02-456/457, Tower 1), United Square (#B1-07/08), Pasir Ris Mall (#B1-33), VivoCity, Plaza Singapura, 313@somerset, Jurong Point, NEX, Northpoint City and Sembawang Shopping Centre. Most run 11am to 10pm daily with last order at 9.45pm, but United Square, Pasir Ris Mall, City Square Mall and i12 Katong close at 9pm from Monday to Thursday. How much to budget: plates run from $1.80++ (Yaki Salmon Sushi) and weekday lunch sets from $7.90++, and every price adds 10% service charge and GST, so about 20% more at the till.
No to all four. Sushiro is in none of them, and a different sushi brand sits in each, which is exactly where the confusion comes from. Sushiro's own store locator lists 22 trading outlets: Tiong Bahru Plaza, Wisma Atria, Isetan Scotts, Suntec City, Jewel Changi Airport, Tampines 1, Waterway Point, Causeway Point, Bedok Mall, Lot One, Thomson Plaza, Perennial Business City, The Linq, Mandai Wildlife, Holland Road, Square 2, Our Tampines Hub, New Bahru, 100AM, Chinatown Point, myVillage @ Serangoon Garden and Orchard Gateway. Here is what is actually in each mall people search for: FUNAN has a Sushi Express and a Sushi Zushi. IMM has a Sushi Express (#02-64). BUGIS JUNCTION has Sushi Plus, the Sushi Express group's sister brand, plus a Sushi Zushi. WESTGATE has a Sushi Express, a Sushi Zushi and a Genki Sushi (#03-05), and third-party listings advertising a 'Sushiro Westgate' at 3 Gateway Drive #03-01 are quoting Sushi Zushi's unit number, which is how the mix-up keeps spreading. If you are in Jurong East and specifically want Sushiro, the real nearest branch is Sushiro Perennial Business City at 1 Venture Avenue, about a five-minute sheltered walk from Jurong East MRT. Three more worth knowing before a special trip: Sushiro Taste Orchard has closed permanently, Parkway Parade is temporarily closed, and a Hougang Mall outlet (90 Hougang Ave 10, #02-23/24) is listed on the locator as opening 1 October 2026.
