KOMA, located within Singapore's bustling Marina Bay Sands complex, is a contemporary Japanese restaurant and sushi bar that has been dazzling guests since its grand launch in July 2019. KOMA, created in collaboration with the famous Tao Group Hospitality, has become a culinary destination for visitors seeking an authentic Japanese dining experience.
KOMA Singapore is the brainchild of Tao Group Hospitality, an industry leader in delivering distinctive culinary and premium entertainment experiences. With a portfolio of restaurants, nightclubs, lounges, and daylife venues, Tao Group Hospitality has made its mark in the world of hospitality.
In April 2021, they acquired Hakkasan Group, combining forces to operate over 80 branded locations in more than 20 markets across four continents. Their impressive portfolio includes well-recognized brands such as TAO, Hakkasan, OMNIA, Marquee, and many more. Tao Group Hospitality's commitment to luxury lifestyle and hospitality is evident in their diverse offerings.
One of KOMA's most notable features is its magnificent design, which the renowned American design firm Rockwell Group created. Renowned Japanese architecture and culture have a significant influence on the interior design elements. A lovely 20-meter-long arched walkway that draws inspiration from Kyoto's Fushimi Inari Shrine is one of the outstanding design features. This archway sets the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. A beautiful 2.5-meter-high Japanese bell overlooks a traditional footbridge and reflecting pool, providing an impression of calm and grace.
The restaurant's soaring 7-meter-high ceiling is covered with ornate acoustic panels fashioned in the shape of lily pads, brilliantly simulating the surface of a pond. These design elements work together to take guests to another planet, where every detail oozes authenticity and beauty.
KOMA's menu is a delectable combination of traditional and modern Japanese cuisine. The culinary selections at KOMA range from the finest sushi and sashimi to the powerful flavours of robatayaki and tempura. In addition to these traditional Japanese meals, the restaurant offers innovative innovations that will leave your taste buds tingling with delight.
The restaurant, a haven for sake connoisseurs, offers a diverse range of over 30 types of sake from various places in Japan. Each sip tells a tale, providing a sample of Japan's various flavours and brewing processes. The accompanying bar and lounge provide an intimate space in which to sip handcrafted drinks and explore the wide sake selection.
KOMA's dining areas are a symphony of experiences, each with its unique charm. In the main dining room, up to 230 guests can revel in the culinary delights while being tantalized by the 15-seat sushi bar, showcasing daily specials that promise to delight.
Ascend to the mezzanine floor, where a private dining room awaits, capable of seating 26 guests. From here, enjoy an expansive view of the bustling dining room below, creating an intimate atmosphere for special gatherings. For those seeking relaxation and camaraderie, the adjoining bar and lounge can host up to 42 guests. It's the perfect spot to unwind, savour handcrafted beverages, and indulge in exquisite culinary creations.
KOMA is open daily, offering lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. (last seating) and dinner from 5:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. (last seating). Whether you're planning a relaxing meal or a romantic evening, KOMA is ready to greet you.
