Japanese Restaurants in Suntec City and Marina Square: 15 Best Spots (2026)
The best Japanese restaurants in Suntec City and Marina Square include Tempura-EN for tempura, Tonshou for charcoal-grilled tonkatsu, Sushiro and Sushi-GO for affordable sushi, and Tenkaichi and Suki-Ya for buffets. Suntec has the larger spread, with ramen, solo yakiniku, Okinawan taco rice and the halal-certified Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen. Marina Square, a short covered walk away, has most of its Japanese options on level 2. Prices run from around $5 for a Sukiya gyudon to $30-plus for tonkatsu sets and buffets, and most sit-down prices are before service charge and GST. Esplanade and Promenade MRT are the closest stations, and buffets are worth booking for weekend lunch.
