Because of that, it\u2019s easy to overlook the less flashy neighbours. However, don\u2019t rule out Orchard Plaza.

Bistro Du Le Pin is often praised for its flavourful offerings, which are a fusion of <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-japanese-restaurants-food-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Japanese<\/a> cuisine and Western influences. Take a seat and enjoy a delightful omakase dinner featuring must-try dishes like smoked pork tongue and beef curry rice. Or swing by in the early opening hours and tuck into affordable Japanese rice bowls for your midday meal. There\u2019s always a snaking queue during lunchtime, so be prepared to wait.<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BistroduLePin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bistro Du Le Pin<\/a>, #01-34 and #02-25, Orchard Plaza, 150 Orchard Road, Singapore 238841<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>2. YW Kitchen<\/h3>\n<p>Looking for an affordable omakase experience in Singapore? Say no more. Previously known as Ao Ringo, this underrated dining establishment returns to dole out <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/italian-restaurants-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Italian<\/a>&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/spanish-restaurants-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spanish<\/a> fare. The modus operandi remains the same: an ever-changing omakase menu with exquisite dishes that\u2019ll surprise and tantalise your palate. You may not know what you\u2019re getting yourself into, but you can expect to be blown away by the offerings. We won\u2019t spoil anything else for you except come with an empty stomach.<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ringo.bridge.1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">YW Kitchen<\/a>, #01-38, Orchard Plaza, 150 Orchard Road, Singapore 238841<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>3. Apollon<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_301572\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-301572\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-301572 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/orchard-plaza-guide-apollon-instagram-900x643.png\" alt=\"Apollon | Orchard Plaza food guide\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/orchard-plaza-guide-apollon-instagram-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/orchard-plaza-guide-apollon-instagram-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/orchard-plaza-guide-apollon-instagram.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-301572\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Apollon via Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/izakayas-bars-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Izakayas<\/a> are known to be squeezy, but that hardly matters once you\u2019ve stepped inside and taken your seat. Apollon is an intimate bar offering a curated selection of premium sakes. Enjoy draft sake directly from the tap, or savour top-shelf options that have matured with unique complexity. Pair your drinks (we don\u2019t expect you to stop at one) with delicious bar bites. Be sure to order the wagyu beef or Japanese omelette with uni, aka stellar standouts from the menu. The sashimi platter is always a good choice if you can&#8217;t decide what to eat.<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/p\/ApollonAm-bar-100065456741272\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Apollon<\/a>, #01-29, Orchard Plaza, 150 Orchard Road, Singapore 238841<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>4. Sage by Yasunori Doi<\/h3>\n<p>Gourmands always hype up this food spot in Orchard Plaza. No, it has nothing to do with the grumpy chef Doi, known for rubbing customers the wrong way. (It may come as a shock initially but might add to the overall experience afterwards.) Here\u2019s where diners lap up classic French dishes created with Japanese ingredients. Choose between the classic menu or the chef\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/omakase-restaurants-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">omakase<\/a> and look forward to a gastronomical affair. Those looking for a truly Nipponese delicacy must get the curry rice featuring wagyu beef and red wine.<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/yasunori.doi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Sage by Yasunori Doi<\/a>, #01-36, Orchard Plaza, 150 Orchard Road, Singapore 238841<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>5.

For those still here, we know a seafood haven where you can dig into fresh molluscs daily. Slurp up Canadian, Irish, or New Zealand varieties raw, grilled in sake, or even smoked with mackerel in oil. Don\u2019t miss out on ordering the oyster fried rice, which deliciously marries familiar flavours with briny qualities. Accompanying the oysters are hot and cold appetisers like prawn white mapo tofu with prawn crisps, which is said to be a hit amongst Japanese visitors.<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kakiinoysterbar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Kakiin Oyster Bar<\/a>, #01-37, Orchard Plaza, 150 Orchard Road, Singapore 238841<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>6. Al Solito<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019re sure plenty of you miss <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/japan-travel-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Japan<\/a> but don\u2019t have the time (or money) to visit the country. Well, Al Solito is the next best alternative. Stepping into this convivial izakaya is akin to being transported to the Land of the Rising Sun. Despite the overtly Japanese atmosphere, the menu might surprise you. We\u2019re talking fusion dishes that blend Japanese and Italian influences. Everyone must order the cold angel hair <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-pasta-places-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pasta<\/a>, topped with salmon roe and doused with uni truffle sauce. It\u2019s a dreamy dish if we do say so ourselves. For something different, check out the specials menu, which changes as and when.<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alsolito2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Al Solito<\/a>, #03-49, Orchard Plaza, 150 Orchard Road, Singapore 238841<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>7.

Helmed by chef Issey Araki, Homura is all about dishes grilled over a charcoal pit right in front of your eyes. This is a great opportunity for you to interact with the affable chefs while they prepare your meals over the counter. Psst: the tuna cheek, claypot rice, and dashimaki tamago are must-orders. Feeling a little fancy? Consider going for the omakase menu. Don\u2019t be intimidated by the sake list \u2013 you can always ask the staff for recommendations.<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/homura_bykai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Homura by Kai<\/a>, #03-16, Orchard Plaza, 150 Orchard Road, Singapore 238841<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>8. La Pona Snack Bar<\/h3>\n<p>Who says you can\u2019t find other food options in Orchard Plaza? Let us introduce you to this family-run snack bar, which doesn\u2019t seem like much when you first come across it. The cramped space can barely fit 10 diners, the decor makes you feel like you\u2019ve gone back to the 1980s, and there\u2019s no menu in sight, so you can\u2019t mull over what to order. However, these things melt away when you finally get a seat. We\u2019re sure you\u2019re already famished by now. Order the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/nasi-lemak-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nasi lemak<\/a> platter, which comes with a chicken wing, fried fish fillet, otah, luncheon meat, fried egg, and anchovies.<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/la.pona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">La Pona Snack Bar<\/a>, #04-53, Orchard Plaza, 150 Orchard Road, Singapore 238841<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>9. Miss Saigon<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_301577\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-301577\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-301577 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/orchard-plaza-guide-miss-saigon-instagram-900x643.png\" alt=\"Miss Saigon | Orchard Plaza food guide\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/orchard-plaza-guide-miss-saigon-instagram-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/orchard-plaza-guide-miss-saigon-instagram-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/orchard-plaza-guide-miss-saigon-instagram.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-301577\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Miss Saigon via Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Compared to its <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/fortune-centre-food-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fortune Centre<\/a> counterpart, the outlet is smaller in size. That shouldn\u2019t turn you off from dining here to enjoy authentic Vietnamese cuisine at wallet-friendly prices. The most recognisable item on Miss Saigon\u2019s menu is the classic banh mi creations, packed with different types of proteins between toasted baguettes. Other dishes worth ordering include rolled rice paper and special beef pepper lolot. The latter presents minced beef wrapped in piper lolot leaves and grilled over charcoal. Oh, here\u2019s the best part: it opens around the clock, which means you can pop by at 3am after drinks for some hot food.<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/misssaigonsg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Miss Saigon<\/a>, #02-56, Orchard Plaza, 150 Orchard Road, Singapore 238841<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>10. Kai Yakitori<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to chook skewers, no place does it better than this elusive restaurant. Yakitori is front and centre of Kai\u2019s omakase menu, with seven sticks for diners to sink their teeth into. The chicken wing and leg are crispy and tender; diners shouldn\u2019t pass up on the chicken heart and tail too. Foodies often rave about the signature chicken <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-ramen-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ramen<\/a>. It\u2019s a comforting bowl with springy noodles and clean, delicious broth.
