OUROBOROS brings an innovative concept to Singapore's dining scene with its unique Tokyo-style Chinese omakase experience at Orchard Plaza. This distinctive restaurant fuses Japanese and Chinese culinary traditions, creating dishes that bridge two of Asia's most celebrated cuisines in a single omakase course.
What makes OUROBOROS particularly special is its commitment to premium air-flown ingredients from Japan, prepared in a setting that elegantly combines Japanese omakase counter seating with traditional Chinese wok cooking. The restaurant offers two signature courses: the Chinese Fusion Omakase Course at $128 and the Chinese Classic Omakase Course, each showcasing the chef's creativity and technical prowess.
Located at #01-24/25 Orchard Plaza, OUROBOROS operates Tuesday through Sunday from 6pm to 11:30pm, creating an intimate dinner experience that's perfect for special occasions. The sleek, elegant interior features the refined minimalism of a Japanese sushi counter on one side and the impressive sight of a large wok station typical of Chinese restaurants on the other. Signature creations like Dan Dan noodles with shrimp, ikura and Japanese shoumei soy sauce demonstrate how OUROBOROS seamlessly merges Chinese comfort dishes with Japanese premium ingredients. For diners seeking something beyond conventional Chinese or Japanese cuisine, OUROBOROS offers a truly unique gastronomic adventure.

This was one of the worst dining experiences I had in 2022.. I didn't feel any hospitality and there was minimal interaction with the staff. They appeared to be more keen in interacting with the boisterous group next to us even though there were only 2 groups (us and them) that night.
Even though you hear the wok making most of the dishes, most of them end up cold when it is finally plated and served. There is also quite a bit of repeat in flavours for the dishes (mala) and even though I like mala, I felt that it took away from what they could have showcased.
There was also the big oops of forgetting to introduce the appetizers to us since they decided to move us from the corner of the counter to one end.
The dishes I enjoyed were the mala shima aji, spring roll and wagyu sukiyaki.

Their fresh oyster is a steal. Must try!
Great dining experience and food quality.
Totally worth it.

It’s a Gem! Fantastic Tokyo Chinese Omakase with a difficult to find door. The entrance is located behind Orchard Plaza facing the road and opposite of Holiday Inn. Door is marked by 2 circles! Took me 2 rounds to find it (thanks to the staff beside the Indian/Muslim food stall).
You are greeted by Mariya-San and ushered into a L-Shaped counter. The ambience is dark and very cosy with nice music. It’s very Japanese-American feel!
The menu looks small and lite but it’s really very filling. I opted for the Sharkfin Soup (which is a MUST to include).
The menu changes and the food is excellent. The chef speaks little English and food is prepared when he sees you finishing the dishes.
Overall, it’s value for money at $128 Per pax if you dun add other things or drinks. This will get popular very soon!
Food wise : 5/5
Service: 5/5
Cozy: 5/5

Great experience and food. Reminds me of Japan. Little hidden door opens up to an amazing restaurant. Chef is amazing watching him cook with such passion you always see in japan. Staff are awesome and very attentive. Sake was soooo good.
Food was amazing and full of flavour. Fusion 8 courses. Tasty and full.look for the hidden door at the back of the plaza and the symbol. Looks like mr magoo glasses
