About SUSHI TEI (West Coast Plaza)

Sushi Tei is a Japanese restaurant chain that debuted in 1994, built around combining the intricacies of sashimi with teppanyaki. Described as a homegrown Japanese Kaiten (conveyor belt) chain, it operates with an open-kitchen concept, letting diners watch the chefs at work while they eat.

The menu is presented as a fusion of traditional Japanese dishes with modern, innovative trends, reflecting what Sushi Tei describes as the emerging influence of Asia on modern Japanese cuisine. Alongside its regular Grand Menu, Sushi Tei releases a Seasonal Menu each quarter, featuring limited-edition dishes themed around Japan's seasons — Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring — and specialty items from regions such as Hokkaido, Miyazaki and Kagoshima.

Sushi Tei's stated vision is to be the leading restaurant for quality, value and exceptional service across all of its outlets worldwide, with a mission centred on serving good food at affordable prices, guaranteeing freshness, and using only top-grade ingredients. The group also operates sister restaurant brands Hokkaido-ya, Matsukiya, and Kuroki, and offers franchise opportunities. Content reviewed for this listing was the group's main website rather than a page for one specific outlet, so no single outlet's street address or phone number was available; Sushi Tei operates across Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Brunei, Bangladesh and Cambodia.

Sushi Tei: A Homegrown Japanese Kaiten Sushi Chain Since 1994

Sushi Tei has been part of the Japanese dining scene since 1994, when it set out to combine the delicacy of sashimi with the theatre of teppanyaki. The brand describes itself as no ordinary dining restaurant, aiming instead to provide an alluring ambience that sets it apart from a regular diner.

A Kaiten Concept With an Open Kitchen

At its core, Sushi Tei is a homegrown Japanese Kaiten, or conveyor belt, sushi chain. Its open-kitchen concept means patrons can watch the chefs at work while enjoying their meal, adding a layer of theatre to what might otherwise be a straightforward dining experience.

A Menu That Keeps Evolving

Sushi Tei's Grand Menu is presented as a fusion of traditional Japanese dishes with modern, innovative trends, spanning appetisers, special rolls, sashimi, salads, sushi moriawase platters, nigiri, gunkan, temaki, makimono, wanmono, tempura, agemono, nabemono, yakimono, noodles, and rice bowl dishes. The brand describes this as illustrating the emerging influence of Asia on modern Japanese cuisine, with an ever-evolving selection designed to guarantee a truly authentic Japanese dining experience on each visit.

Alongside the Grand Menu, Sushi Tei releases a Seasonal Menu every quarter, built around only the freshest produce and ingredients of the season. These limited-edition menus are themed around Japan's own seasons — Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring — and often spotlight specialty ingredients from regions such as Hokkaido, Miyazaki, and Kagoshima, giving regular diners a reason to keep coming back for something new.

Vision, Mission and Growth

Sushi Tei's stated vision is to be the leading restaurant for quality, value and exceptional service across all of its outlets worldwide. Its mission ties that ambition to something more concrete: serving good food at affordable prices, guaranteeing the freshness of its food, and using only top-grade ingredients.

Beyond the core Sushi Tei brand, the group also operates Hokkaido-ya, Matsukiya, and Kuroki as sister restaurant concepts, and offers franchise opportunities to those interested in bringing the brand to new markets.

Ordering and Reach

For those not dining in, Sushi Tei offers online ordering through Foodpanda and GrabFood, as well as a self pick-up option through its own ordering site. The chain also runs a membership and rewards programme for regular customers.

Sushi Tei's outlets span multiple countries, including Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Brunei, Bangladesh, and Cambodia. Because this listing draws on the group's main website rather than a single outlet's page, specific details like an individual restaurant's address or phone number aren't included here — Sushi Tei's own 'Our Outlets' page is the place to find a specific location. Enquiries can otherwise be directed to the brand's general contact email.
