Teppei Japanese Restaurant at Orchid Hotel Tanjong Pagar

PC Sunday, July 23, 2017

Everytime when we pass by Orchid Hotel at Tanjong Pagar, we are always so attracted by the crowd in 2 small shops. The crowd are laughing and many of them with the bright smile on their face. We took a look at the menu and realised that they are fully booked till next month and reservations would need to be placed 2 to 3 months in advance.

Teppei Japanese Restaurant is what we are referring to and has been rumoured to be the cheapest and value for money omakase in Singapore. The restaurant has only counter seats and one thing to note is not to bring too many stuff along.

There are space limitations and all customers are seated shoulder to shoulder. All ingredients are freshly flown in from Japan and there are no fixed menu. You eat what they cook based on the ingredients they have.

The omakase is about a 10 course meal and fortunately the portion isn't too big. Only 2 seating timings are available: 6.30pm and 8.30pm. The pictures you see probably describes the creativeness of the chef and all are ensured with quality and taste.

Besides the good food served, the entire 2hrs meal was interactive and fun with the servers and chef playing along with the customers. We love the fun and food. Pictures of the food and people says it all!

The only setback is the price although it is considered to be one of the cheapest omakase. Mon to thurs set are at $60 per pax and Fri to Sun at $80 per pax. Prices are subjected to gst and service charge. This is definitely one restaurant where you would take at least 30 photo shots for all the food and happenings.
