The casual restaurant at Thomson Plaza gets an upgrade but still offers delicious Japanese fare at extremely reasonable prices
Modern Japanese restaurant Omoté, formerly known as Sushiro, has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a 12-seater sushi bar at Thomson Plaza. With the recent rebrand, a development marketing manager Tricia Tan attributes to the team's continuous effort to elevate the dining experience, it has since moved to a larger 7,000-sqft space on the third level of the same mall.
There’s much to look forward to with the new space, which means more reasons why you should make a reservation for your next visit.
1. A bigger space
The roomy interior is every bit modern and welcoming, evinced by the exposed industrial ceiling, concrete grey floor and comfortable, well-spaced tables. But a closer look around will reveal Japanese touches smartly interwoven within the design. They’ve also kept the sushi counter and decorated the walls with murals of Japanese landmarks like Mt. Fuji or animals like the crane.
But there's more to this upgrade than improved interiors. In the third quarter of the year, the restaurant will launch an "omakase experience" which regular customers can enjoy in an intimate private room. Shares Tan, “We want to capitalise on our good relationship with them and give an exclusive experience.”
