My family and I have been going to Megumi for as long as I can remember. The sushi is always fresh and top quality, some of the best and most reasonably priced in Singapore. The staff are attentive and very accommodating. We’ll keep coming back, it’s super value for money.

Came on a Thursday and had the weekday set lunch. We had the Unagi and Bara Chirashi set where you can either choose the chawamushi or sashimi for your side. The cold tea is refillable too!
Bonus points for allowing pet dog to sit beside us outdoors, and we will definitely be back!

Good sushi roll, other foods were small portions and quite expensive and a 10% service charge on top. Food was ok but nothing amazing and quite pricey. The lady serving us was nice, the place was very quiet so not much atmosphere.

Food is incredible high quality for the price (Real Value for $$$). Sashimi is fresh and you have multiple combinations of ingredients. I saw some people ordering Hot Pot, but didn’t manage to try. The restaurant doesn’t look fancy like other Japanese restaurants in the area. But the food speaks by itself. I’ll be back! 100% recommended if you around the area.

Teppayaki Beef, sushi and garlic rice are yummy. Sadly no salmon belly when we were there. We ordered a spicy noodle level one thinking it will be mild spicy but it turns out to be very spicy even at level 1; the noodle is soaked with the spiciness.
Ambience is great and price is good.

Tried Soba noodles and tempura for the first time and found it quite bland even after adding some soy sauce and a bit of the other condiments.
Nonetheless, the tempura was quite crisp and I liked the Avocado Maki as it’s not often to find vegetarian sushi anywhere! 😛

Had their sushis, steak and chawanmushi which were pretty satisfying. Sushis were fresh and steak was on the chewier side.
Service was a little slow, with an item being missed out, but the servers were quite friendly, which made up for the entire experience.
Overall would recommend if around the area 🙂

Returned to Megumi in October. Can see that management has worked hard to improve everything. 5/5 would return and recommend. I have been coming here for the past 20 years, and I hope to eat here over the next 20.
Food – excellent. The team has clearly made good tweaks to the menu. The ramen chashu melts in your mouth and has been nicely seasoned, agedashi tofu has always been excellent. Soba and salmon sashimi were also excellent.
Service – very fast. Waiter count seems to be very much higher (went on Saturday evening) and received all the food, bill, water, etc near instantaneously. Was very impressed.
Price – very reasonable: I ordered enough for two people (2 mains, 2 sides) because I was keen to see what had changed, and it only came up to 60 including gst and other charges. There are premium items at higher prices on the menu to cater to all tastes. Will try that next time.
Ambience – excellent: Megumi looks extremely charming now and is a lovely place to dine at. menu spruced up with high quality pictures of the food. Gone is the robot coming in and out of the kitchen. Entrance has been very much spruced up and looks way better now (see pics) without a stack of kitchen equipment.
———–————————-
I’ve been a longtime customer of Megumi of more than 15 years, and in it’s heyday at Siglap would eat there once a week. At the time, it was by far the best Japanese restaurant in the east. Sadly I think that standards have fallen significantly. For instance, the Maki (picture below) has become tiny with a light smattering of fish roe, just a little filling and was falling apart because the rice was dryish/hard when it was made. The sashimi tasted as unfresh as it looked, with the flesh becoming a deep pink and losing the translucency of the white fat marbling. The edamame appeared to have been taken out of a microwave rather than steamed, with the entire dish emanating immense heat and the beans turning mushy.
It is extremely sad to me because this is a restaurant that I’ve grown up with and loved, and which I hope will do well in the future. I’d like to make the following suggestions:
(a) The menu has aged and looks nearly exactly the same as it did 15 years ago and needs updating — for instance, the ramen may have been fine a decade ago but can’t stack up against new competitors bringing in more authentic recipes. IMHO I’d suggest taking a look at Eat Tokyo in London which is probably the pinnacle of Japanese casual dining. Their menu is not only simple for staff to prepare, made of inexpensive ingredients, but also really tasty. Their recipes are all public on Amazon UK if you look for a book called “more than SUSHI”.
(b) Megumi is much lower on the value for money totem pole than it was before as the food is neither cheap nor particularly excellent — I’d suggest trying some of your competitors (there’s a good one at Katong V) to get a sense of the market. To some extent I suspect this is because rental costs per customer are higher because your current premises are large but don’t seem to be fully utilized.
(c) Food consistency is pretty hit and miss. This month seems to be terrible for some reason with portions shrinking and food not very fresh. I’d suggest maintaining a consistent level to avoid damaging brand equity and raising prices if necessary while keeping in line with other competitors as per (b)
I’ll keep coming back now and then, and I hope to be able to change this score to 5 someday. All the best.

Excellent service and friendly staff & owner!
Food was reasonably priced for its quality! Fresh and umame.
What surprised us was the kaisen ramen or seafood ramen! The milky broth was thick and rich, perfect for rainy days! What’s more is that it is not salty and a perfect balance.
Also, of all the food we had, the ingredients were fresh. Special mention to the oysters; out of the world!
We are going to be back again!

Came here on a rainy Friday afternoon for lunch. The lunch sets are amazing value for value. Sashimi is thick and fresh, and portions are very generous. See photos attached
Friendly crew and very good service
Will definitely come again to try other items on the menu
