Tucked away at 150 Orchard Rd, #01-24, Singapore 238841, Ouroboros - Tokyo Chinese - feels like one of those rare places you almost have to be let in on, with its discreet entrance behind Orchard Plaza, facing the road opposite Holiday Inn and marked only by two circles. Finding it is part of the charm, because once inside, the restaurant opens into a dark, intimate, L-shaped counter space with a cosy atmosphere, gentle music, and a distinctive Japanese-American mood that makes the experience feel both stylish and personal. Ouroboros presents a Tokyo Chinese omakase that may look light at first glance, but the meal is surprisingly satisfying and thoughtfully paced, with dishes prepared in rhythm with your progress so the flow feels natural and attentive. The menu changes, which adds excitement for returning diners, but certain highlights deserve special mention, especially the Sharkfin Soup, a signature item that stands out for its richness and is often considered essential to the experience. Fresh oysters are another strong draw here, praised for their quality and remarkable value, adding a luxurious touch without feeling excessive. What makes the meal even more memorable is the care in service: guests are warmly welcomed, and the team takes time to explain the ingredients and standards behind each dish, giving the dinner an added sense of craft and intention. Even with its refined concept, Ouroboros is seen as excellent value for a omakase experience, with the core menu around $128 per person before extras and drinks, making it a place where quality, ambience, and thoughtful hospitality come together in a way that feels polished yet approachable. The food is refined without being intimidating, the setting is inviting without being loud, and the overall experience carries the exciting sense of discovering a hidden gem before everyone else catches on.

It’s a Gem! Fantastic Tokyo Chinese Omakase with a difficult to find door. The entrance is located behind Orchard Plaza facing the road and opposite of Holiday Inn. Door is marked by 2 circles! Took me 2 rounds to find it (thanks to the staff beside the Indian/Muslim food stall). You are greeted by Mariya-San and ushered into a L-Shaped counter. The ambience is dark and very cosy with nice music. It’s very Japanese-American feel! The menu looks small and lite but it’s really very filling. I opted for the Sharkfin Soup (which is a MUST to include). The menu changes and the food is excellent. The chef speaks little English and food is prepared when he sees you finishing the dishes. Overall, it’s value for money at $128 Per pax if you dun add other things or drinks. This will get popular very soon! Food wise : 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cozy: 5/5

Great experience and food. Reminds me of Japan. Little hidden door opens up to an amazing restaurant. Chef is amazing watching him cook with such passion you always see in japan. Staff are awesome and very attentive. Sake was soooo good. Food was amazing and full of flavour. Fusion 8 courses. Tasty and full.look for the hidden door at the back of the plaza and the symbol. Looks like mr magoo glasses

Tucked away on the side of Orchard Plaza facing Kramat Road, Ouroboros claims a unique niche - Chinese Japanese cuisine. The risk with any fusion food is that when you don’t fully commit to one type of cuisine, you also don’t excel in either. In this case, that risk proved to be real as not all dishes impressed. The occasional plate or component was interesting, like the beef shabu shabu slice or the firefly squid, but each dish in its entirety didn’t seem to come together. Still a quality venue with decent pricing. Alcohol menu isn’t too impressive but you can find Chinese wines which are cool!

I always have a soft spot for japanese Chinese food and really glad we now have Ouroboros. Rich, tasty and interesting combinations like Mala Sukiyaki . Plus one star for price point and a very pretty Tokyo Chinese food experience. Great friendly service too.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and the service was exceptional. But what really stood out was the food. The appetizer platter was a true work of art. It was beautifully presented with a variety of small dishes that offered a range of flavors and textures. Each dish was carefully crafted with a mix of Chinese and Japanese ingredients that created a unique fusion of flavors. From the chicken, prawn, abalone, every bite was a delight. But my favorite part of the meal was the sashimi. The presentation alone was breathtaking, with a mix of colors and textures that were truly impressive. The fish was incredibly fresh and each piece was expertly sliced to maximize its flavor and texture. What I loved most was how the sashimi had Chinese and Japanese elements that blended together perfectly. The sauce had a unique texture to the traditional Japanese sashimi, creating a truly memorable dish. Overall, I would highly recommend ouroboros restaurant to anyone looking for a unique and flavorful dining experience. The combination of Chinese and Japanese flavors, along with the expert preparation and presentation, make for an unforgettable meal. I cannot wait to go back and try more of their dishes.

A place that serves chinese food with shanghainese, sichuan, canton and nihon cooking styles by japanese chef, using japanese ingredients, to customers seated at counter with full view of the cooking/plating process. Cozy ambience and you get to be entertained by your neighbour's conversation too. Each dish has its own merits, esp the drunken botan ebi, must suck dry the prawn head, simply unforgetable; the japanese in mala sauce and coated with egg yolk, real smooth with a gentle kick; added the mapo shirako was a good choice with rice that makes the meal completely SHIOK !
