[Review]
I first saw Standing Sushi Bar’s twitter account a few weeks back. Wanted to give it a try and Nadia was nice enough to organize a makan session!
Together with Nadia, CCB, Victor, Nicole, Jolin, Justin and QQ, we headed down to Standing Sushi Bar for an 8 course omakase dinner specially prepared by Chef Roy!
Omakase literally means entrust and basically means “chef’s choice.” The Itamae (sushi chef) is given the opportunity to select what he will serve you for that meal, and since this commands a higher price usually than one would expect, the quality of the meal (food and presentation) and his attentiveness should make it worth your while.
This is not your average meal, and it should leave you satisfied, still interested, and encouraged.

Sauteed Jellyfish, crunchy with a mild tangy taste from the sauce. Very different from the ones I had at other sushi joints!
Salmon Skin with Mizuna Salad. There was no fishy stench and tasted very zesty, crispy and crunchy. The meat of the battered fish was really fresh and soft.
Assorted Sashimi. I was surprised that they included swordfish sashimi in the platter. One of my favorite sashimis other than salmon! It was the first time I tried maguro as well, not too bad!
Avocado Salmon with Roe. Didn’t expect avocado to be so yummy with the salmon, roe and the specially created sauce. The sauce was really light and creamy, it was a perfect match to the entire dish.
Salmon Cheek, with that crisp skin which was perfectly grilled. There was a slight fishy stench, but the sauce managed to cover it well.
Tuna Bread with Roe, Salmon Bread with Roe and Tomato Sauce. This would go really well with sake.
Miso Soup, very light and healthy.
Assorted Sushi. The raw scallop was SOOO GOOD!
Black Sesame Ice Cream, very creamy and the taste was awesome! IMHO, it is a must have dessert after every Japanese meal.
It was my very first experience with omakase and I am totally loving it. Would definitely return to Standing Sushi Bar for more!
