Ishi is a recently opened Japanese restaurant in the same building as the Intercontinental Robertson Quay but is not technically part of the hotel.

I had the 7-piece sushi set ($48) from their lunch menu which came with a complimentary starter, soup and ice cream. It was not bad but I’m not sure it was worth $48. My lunch companion ordered the Chirashi + Chawanmushi set ($68) which seemed better value.

We also ordered a side of Tempura ($35) and though the ingredients were of high quality (there was eel tempura which I’ve never seen before), the batter was too thick for our liking.

Perhaps the omakase would’ve been a better choice?
