SUSHISAMBA Singapore

SUSHISAMBA Singapore is a restaurant and bar on the 52nd floor of Capital Tower, on Robinson Road in the business district. It mixes Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian food. It opened in July 2024 as the brand's first outpost in the Asia Pacific region.

The idea comes from history. In the early 20th century, many Japanese people moved to Brazil and Peru to work on farms and plantations. In cities such as São Paulo and Lima, the three food cultures blended. SUSHISAMBA turns that mix into sushi, seviche and grilled dishes, served as small plates to share.

What to order

The menu is long, so it helps to order a few things from each section and share them. It covers raw dishes, small plates, sushi rolls, nigiri and sashimi, rice dishes and food from the robata, a Japanese charcoal grill.

• Samba rolls: the Chilli Crab roll is a nod to one of Singapore's best-known dishes. It pairs tempura soft-shell crab with sweet chilli and yuzu mayo. The SAMBA Singapore roll wraps lobster, mango and avocado in soy paper.
• Seviche: Peruvian-style raw fish dressed with citrus, in versions such as sea bream, sea bass and mixed seafood.
• Robata: grilled meat and fish, such as black cod with white miso, lamb chops and wagyu striploin.
• Anticuchos: Peruvian-style skewers, with chicken, beef, sea bass and mushroom options.

There is also an omakase set menu for two or more people, plus set menus for business lunch and dinner. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes are marked on the menu. The wine list won a Wine Spectator Restaurant Award in 2026, and the cocktails take ideas from all three cultures.

The setting

The restaurant looks out in every direction, with views over the city skyline and out to sea. The bar sits under a wooden ceiling made of geometric shapes. There are counters for sushi and for the robata grill, where you can watch the chefs at work.

The SAMBA Room is a cocktail lounge within the restaurant. On some nights it hosts DJ sets and stays lively until late. Private dining rooms are also available for groups and events.
