We went to the branch at 40 Holland drive. They didn’t have the signature lobster pao fan , so we had the seafood one - prawns, clams, fried fish, sliced fish. The broth is so delish we had to have another bowl.
The main dining room is discrete and elegant. The quality of the ingredients or the preparation is between popular Sushi Tei and the top sushi counters like Ki-sho, Ashino, Shunjuu. Service by Filipina waitresses is extremely friendly but quite bad - they forget to bring towels, napkins, have no clue about the dryness of sake, etc. I would not go back here, preferring better-value Sushi Tei, and for the special occasions I would splurge and go to a superior sushi restaurant. Jiro Singapore is to Jiro Ono in Tokyo what Crystal Jade Kitchen is to...Hua Ting maybe?

The food is decent but not as good as at authentic Japanese eateries. If you have one of the 1-for-1 offers pricing becomes reasonable, otherwise it would be quite poor value. No wonder you can always find a seat here.

Housed in a beautiful black&white colonial-style house, decorated with class. Knowledgeable and pro-active service staff. Unfortunately, the food is not very innovative, and except for a few dishes like red tom yum, extremely average - quite unmemorable. There are many places in Singapore that serve better Thai food. Prices are high. No wonder when we were there, the clientèle was exclusively expat (primarily Caucasian).
Modern dining room in a modern hotel. Very good service staff once they appear, because there’s not many of them, with almost everything being done via an efficient-but-impersonal app. The set lunch is reasonably priced. We went à la carte in order to use our Entertainer voucher. The $48++ wagyu steak is chewy and not good. The crab rillettes is yummy. If not for the 1-for-1 offer, it’s terrible value. There are so many yummy restaurants in the neighbourhood, so I guess we will not go back.
Elegant dining room with great service. The menu has interesting and unusual dishes, especially among street food and appetiser offerings, but the flavour is extremely mild, too tuned down for western palates.
The ambience is typical Four Seasons - intimate, understated chic. The same goes for the food and service. Except for some dim sum dishes, the offerings are not terribly innovative, just classics made with superior ingredients and very well executed. Even a mundane dessert dish like glutinous rice balls in almond cream is a great pleasure to eat! Service is impeccable - unobtrusive but efficient and pro-active. So, what are the drawbacks? The menu could be longer, and prices are such that few people can afford to come often: About $9++ per PIECE of dim sum; the Buddha Jump Over the Wall is delish, but $128++ for a bowl of soup is a bit extravagant!

The ingredients are certainly fresh, the service impeccable, and you can have a very good omakase meal here, but this is the least favourite among my top sushi restaurants in Singapore. Compared to the two Shinji’s, Ashino, Kisho, Kimura, the dishes are much less diverse. I have a bias against 2-Mich-star Shoukouwa, where we had horrific service.
