Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take on Sushi Tei at Thomson Plaza is that it consistently delivers on fresh, flavourful Japanese cuisine.

Reviewers frequently highlight the quality of the ingredients, from the sashimi in the Sashimi Salad to the premium eel in the Unagi Hitsumabushi.

The Katsudon and Tuna Carpaccio also receive praise for their seasoning and freshness.

While the Ebi Tempura is generally well-received, some find the vegetable tempura less impressive.

We note a recurring theme of good service, even during busy periods, which contributes positively to the dining experience.

However, we'd advise caution regarding seating.

One reviewer found the counter seats near the cutlery cleaning area to be unsuitably noisy and disruptive, impacting their enjoyment of a $20+ meal.

This suggests that while the food quality is high, the dining environment can be inconsistent depending on your seat.

Expect a significant wait during peak hours, particularly on weekends, though many feel the food justifies it.

We think this is a reliable option for Japanese food, provided you're prepared for potential queues and mindful of seating choices.
