Standing Sushi Bar (Odeon Towers)

Wrapped up the meal with a few well-loved classics that always deliver. The grilled black cod teriyaki was sweet, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth soft. Miso soup came soothing and light, keeping things grounded between bites. A crisp wedge of muskmelon followed, cool and refreshing, the kind of dessert that doesn’t try too hard but still feels luxe. And of course, the uni add-on — this time, it was Murasaki uni, paler in hue with a gentle, mellow sweetness. A softer note compared to the Bafun uni I’d had previously, which leaned rich, orange, sweet, and briny.

Tried the limited-time Hidden Flame Omakase ($128++ for 2 Pax) at Standing Sushi Bar and it was pure umami indulgence from start to finish. The 9-piece aburi sushi lineup delivered smoky flair with restraint — each piece lightly torched to unlock depth while letting the fish’s character shine.

The grilled course brought satisfying char, miso soup and dessert wrapped things up with gentle sweetness.

Here’s how the sushi lineup played out:

1. Shima Aji + Sea Salt & Lemon
Firm, clean, with a zesty punch

2. Kinmedai + Vinegar Jelly
Delicate flesh with tangy jelly

3. Hamachi + Yuzu Miso
Smoky-sweet and ultra smooth

4. Shio Maguro
Lean and meaty

5. Hotate + Mentai
Charred scallop blanketed in creamy richness

6. Madai + Yuzu Zest
Citrusy lift over tender flesh

7. Aka Ebi + Miso
Juicy bounce and mellow umami

8. Chutoro + Yuzu Pepper
Velvety with a slow-burning spark

9. Otoro + Radish & Ponzu
Lush and buttery finish, brightened by crisp radish zing

Had to add on the bafun uni sushi during omakase and it’s 100% worth it. So creamy, fresh, and briny in the best way. Its vibrant orange hue hints at the quality.

Wrapped lovingly in crispy nori, the combination of flavours and textures is nothing short of magical. The uni's rich umami blends beautifully with the slight saltiness of the seaweed. It’s ultra creamy, fresh, and melts into the sushi rice like ocean butter.

If you're already doing the omakase at Standing Sushi Bar, do yourself a favour and add on the uni sushi for just $10/Piece. One piece might not be enough, so… maybe two?

Part of the Premium Omakase Set at Standing Sushi Bar, it comes with 7 pieces of beautifully crafted sushi, a grilled item, and a ikura mini bowl that's basically a burst of umami heaven.

Each piece of sushi is a perfect marriage of silky, melt-in-your-mouth fish and slightly warm, delicately seasoned rice with just the right fluffiness and grip. The textures are so thoughtfully balanced, I’m savouring each bite in slow, happy silence.

The grilled prawn was simple and good. Smoky, juicy, and came with a slight char that brought out its natural sweetness. And then there’s the ikura mini bowl with salty-sweet pearls popping with a briny and oceanic burst over rice. It’s a literal explosion of taste and texture in every spoonful!

It’s an experience that feels indulgent yet approachable. A way to enjoy the finer side of sushi without needing a special occasion or breaking the bank.

All-Day Omakase (Premium Set) 》$108
1 Grilled Item, 7 Pcs of Sushi, 3 Kinds of Sashimi, Ikura Mini Bowl, Miso Soup & Dessert

Part of the Premium Omakase Set at Standing Sushi Bar, the 3 kinds of Sashimi was a strong start.

The trio of sashimi is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate. Each piece is a masterpiece of freshness and texture, meticulously arranged to showcase its natural beauty. No fishy aftertaste, just clean, rich flavour in every bite.

Came by on a Wednesday for their Roll promo. Had the Fire Maki ($9.45) and the Under The Sea ($9.95). Portion was great, sushi leaned towards the saucy side but enjoyable nonetheless, and definitely value for money. Their $3 sake deal also hit the spot, albeit the portion was so small i could practically finish it in a gulp. Added on a Zaru Soba ($13) which was nice, although a tad bit too expensive if you ask me. Overall, a good place to hit up if you're craving sushi and you like the items on their daily promo menu.
