I always have a soft spot for japanese Chinese food and really glad we now have Ouroboros. Rich, tasty and interesting combinations like Mala Sukiyaki 😍 . Plus one star for price point and a very pretty Tokyo Chinese food experience. Great friendly service too. …

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

As much as I wanted to love this place - it was ok only. I really enjoyed the appetisers platter. Rest of the dishes was a bit of a repeated mala and sesame flavours throughout the omakase menu. Every dish was quite rich so at least you leave with a very full stomach.

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

Tucked away on the side of Orchard Plaza facing Kramat Road, Ouroboros claims a unique niche - Chinese Japanese cuisine. The risk with any fusion food is that when you don’t fully commit to one type of cuisine, you also don’t excel in either. In this case, that risk proved to be real as not all dishes impressed. The occasional plate or component was interesting, like the beef shabu shabu slice or the firefly squid, but each dish in its entirety didn’t seem to come together. Still a quality venue with decent pricing. Alcohol menu isn’t too impressive but you can find Chinese wines which are cool!

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.

A place that serves chinese food with shanghainese, sichuan, canton and nihon cooking styles by japanese chef, using japanese ingredients, to customers seated at counter with full view of the cooking/plating process. Cozy ambience and you get to be entertained by your neighbour's conversation too. Each dish has its own merits, esp the drunken botan ebi, must suck dry the prawn head, simply unforgetable; the japanese in mala sauce and coated with egg yolk, real smooth with a gentle kick; added the mapo shirako was a good choice with rice that makes the meal completely SHIOK !

We booked the 6pm sitting and we were served very hurriedly. The whole course was served within less than 1.5 hours. Felt a bit rushed and during dinner we understand that there is no second sitting - why rush? Food was pretty good especially the cod fish and appetiser dish. The main dish of wagyu was a bit of a letdown. Nothing special. As for the cod fish, the sauce has an awesome numbing kick. Noodles was mediocre. Venue and lighting was superb. Love the music and vibes. Overall, It’s a newer establishment so hopefully they improve over time.
