A big throwback when Sushi Jin was still at Farrer Park. One of the most scrumptious omakase in SG😋

Worst birthday decision ever: Celebrated my birthday here, and it was a huge disappointment. We literally paid for emotional damage.
Omakase comparison:
-Tried both the $188 and $268 sets to compare.
-The $188 set had 7 dishes, while the $268 set came with 9 dishes.
-Honestly, there was no real difference in quality between the two.
-The only dish that stood out was the starter, which was actually quite good. Everything else was mediocre at best.
-They only got one dish right—the starter. The rest were forgettable.
Food quality:
-Bland, underwhelming, and definitely not worth the price.
-Honestly, a cheaper omakase elsewhere (under $128) would taste better.
Service:
-The staff was polite but lacked basic food etiquette.
Example: When I mentioned the mini nabe hotpot was too hot, the waiter blew on it with her mouth—unhygienic and unprofessional.
Soup texture:
-3 of our bowls of calm soup had a gritty, sandy texture.
It was unpleasant and definitely not something you'd expect from a restaurant with a 25-year experienced chef in charge.
Presentation:
-The food looked cheap and poorly presented
Food explanations:
-The explanations of the dishes were minimal. There was little effort to engage or describe the flavors.
The vibe:
-The restaurant was almost empty the entire time we were there—about 80% unoccupied.
- if I had to "read the room," no one seemed impressed. Nobody was commenting on how delicious the food was.
Pricing and discounts:
-I asked if there were any discounts available, but the staff said no.
However, right after I walked out, I noticed a huge poster outside advertising vouchers that could be used instantly for a 15% discount.
-Had I known about this, I would have saved some money.
Conclusion:
-Would not recommend Sushi Jin to anyone.
-The food didn’t justify the high price, the service was unrefined, and the overall experience was disappointing.
-There are far better, more affordable omakase options in Singapore that offer better food, value, and a more enjoyable experience.
Patronised them when they were at Fareer park, and I felt that standards at Fareer park was way better.

Went with chef’s omakase.
TLDR: give this a miss. Or order something that you already know.
Food was average at best which was disappointing considering that this is a Les Amis brand.
The sushi rice tasted a little old.
Caviar was used in some dishes but didn’t melt in the mouth like it should. As a result, it was almost flavourless.
Seasoning for most dishes was unbalanced. Yuzu overwhelmed the other flavours in the Chawanmushi.
Wasabi used was more pungent than normal, overwhelming the flavours (admittedly, we should have asked to reduce the amount used but chose not to due to the little amount they were already using.)
The viscosity of the liver sauce in the Abalone dish was too low. A thicker sauce would have complemented the dish better.
The wagyu dish gave us mixed feelings. The meat was not as tender as we would have liked and required a bit more of a chew than wagyu usually demands of you. The batter that coats the wagyu was too light. The sauce was fine.
The best dishes by far that night were the torched nigiri such as the torched otoro with lightly canalised fat that would melt in your mouth.
All in all, average at best and definitely not worth the price point.
Was a little concerned that the place was at 10% capacity through the 3 hours we were there.
Staff were friendly and professional.

Went to Sushi Jin for hubby's birthday celebration and we ordered premium omakase and omakase.
The hospitality and the food served are beyond our expectation. The chef even checked if we were full and made an additional special don for my hubby.
Please make reservation (as can be quite packed even during lunch time) and choose counter seat so you can see how the chef prepare the food.
Will definitely come back for more!

Dinner for 4 allowed us to try a large variety of dishes - appetizer, carpaccio, maki, sushi, sashimi, and meat.
The dishes were exquisite. The ingredients were fresh. The service was great and attentive. The compromise was that the servings were slightly smaller than expected.
