Sushi Kimura Plus is chef-owner Tomoo Kimura's new chapter after his original Sushi Kimura closed in 2024 — an intimate eight-seat Edomae omakase inside Conrad Singapore Orchard that took a MICHELIN star in 2026.

what to order

Signature dishes

  • Akami zuke — lean tuna marinated in soy and mirin, hand-pressed on Yamagata rice (the signature)
  • Seasonal white fish and hikarimono
  • Japanese prawns and anago
  • Chutoro and otoro
  • Grilled shirako with fish-bone broth

The omakase is seasonal, and several items (black abalone, monkfish liver, Murasaki uni) are supplements rather than fixtures.

The concept

A personalised Edomae omakase at an eight-seat counter — closer to a private room than a restaurant — where the chef oversees every guest himself. Seasonal seafood and produce arrive from Japan four times a week; the meal runs nigiri alongside cooked dishes, soup and vegetables.

The chef

Owner-chef Tomoo Kimura trained in Tokyo (Hattori Nutrition College, then Tsukiji-Sushi Sei) before moving to Singapore in 2012 as part of the opening team at one-star Sushi Ichi, then working as executive chef at Hashida Sushi. He opened the original Sushi Kimura in 2016 and, after a year away, returned with this eight-seat counter, drawing on long-standing supplier relationships in Japan.

Getting there

#01-03, Conrad Singapore Orchard, 1 Cuscaden Road, in the Orchard/Tanglin district — the same hotel as Summer Palace. Nearest MRT is Orchard Boulevard on the Thomson-East Coast Line, about five minutes away.

Prices

Lunch omakase is S$250++ and dinner S$380++. Supplements include black abalone S$80++, monkfish liver S$45++ and Murasaki uni S$60++, with add-ons such as extra zuke maguro S$20++ and a toro-taku handroll S$25++. Sake, drinks and corkage are extra. "++" is before service charge and GST.

How to book

Book direct through the restaurant's own system or via TableCheck; reservations open up to a month ahead and require a full non-refundable deposit. With only eight seats, book as early as you can. No vegetarian or gluten-free options, and no last-minute changes to party size.

Opening hours

Lunch 12:30–2:30pm; dinner 7:00–9:30pm, Tuesday to Sunday. Closed Monday. Sittings are fixed, so arrive on time.

The room & dress

A compact, calm, counter-focused room of eight seats at a glass counter with a mirrored underside, built around direct interaction with the chef; there is no private room. No official dress code — smart casual is fine. The counter is fragrance-free, so avoid strong scents, and it cannot accept flowers.

A little history

Kimura came to Singapore in 2012 for the Sushi Ichi opening, moved to Hashida Sushi, then opened the original Sushi Kimura in 2016, where it held a star at around 22 seats until it closed in November 2024. After roughly a year away travelling, he reopened as Sushi Kimura Plus at Conrad Orchard in late 2025 with eight seats, earning a star under the new name in 2026.

Who it’s for

For serious sushi enthusiasts who care about seasonality, sourcing and direct interaction with the chef, and it is solo-friendly as well as suiting couples and small groups up to eight. Not for spontaneous walk-ins, vegetarians, gluten-free diners or anyone wanting à la carte — this is Kimura's intimate second chapter.
