Every dish of the $228++ omakase course was good, but none was outstanding. The urchin doesn’t look super fresh. Definitely one level below comparable nearby places like Jinhonten. May not survive in this expensive location.

The food is delicious: The chilli crab ramen is strange but yummy, the signature one is good but nothing to write home about. Service is extremely blurred: terrible confusion of orders between adjoining table and ours (including for payment at exit); we had to constantly ask for refills of water although the restaurant was only half full. All in all, a bit overpriced but worth it for periodic indulgence.

Possibly the least refined ramen in town, but quite satisfying, After Red and Black Kings, this time I tried Green Queen. With cheese and bacon, it’s a bit like pesto pasta with soup. If you’re afraid to mess up your white T-shirt and don’t mind looking a bit ridiculous, they would give you a bib.

We came back to Shinjii after over 12 years, and frankly that was a letdown. The food and service were good, but frankly underwhelming, compared to other top sushi restaurants in Singapore, like Ki-sho, Ashino when it was still operating, or even Jinhonten. We had the Omakase Wa for dinner, and it was not good value at $350++. No memorable signature dish. They even forgot to offer parking voucher (which didn’t even cover the full cost of parking for the duration of the meal!)
