Restaurant in Singapore, Singapore
Michelin-recognised vegetarian at an accessible price.
Ki Su holds two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024–2025) and a 4.9 Google rating at the $$ price tier — making it the strongest value case for serious vegetarian dining in Singapore. Book it for a date or low-key celebration in Tanjong Pagar. Easy to reserve, hard to fault for the price.
At the $$ price tier, Ki Su is one of the most compelling reasons to take vegetarian dining seriously in Singapore. Two consecutive Michelin Plate awards (2024 and 2025) confirm that this is not a compromise option for non-meat-eaters — it is a destination worth booking on its own terms. If you are looking for plant-based cooking that earns critical recognition without charging fine-dining prices, Ki Su at 60 Tras Street, #01-01 in Tanjong Pagar should be your first call. Book it for a date night, a low-key celebration, or any meal where you want genuine quality without the four-figure bill that comes with Singapore's top tier.
Ki Su holds a Google rating of 4.9 from 161 reviews — a score that carries weight precisely because it is built on a meaningful sample at the intersection of high consistency and genuine enthusiasm. Ratings at this level, sustained across hundreds of diners, indicate a kitchen that performs reliably rather than occasionally. For a celebration meal or a first proper vegetarian dining experience in Singapore, that reliability matters more than occasional brilliance at a less consistent address.
The Tanjong Pagar location places Ki Su in one of Singapore's most active dining corridors, where competition is serious and guests are experienced. Earning a Michelin Plate in this context is a signal worth taking seriously. Comparable vegetarian recognition in Asia appears at venues like Fu He Hui in Shanghai and Lamdre in Beijing, both of which carry Michelin credentials and operate in similarly competitive urban markets. Ki Su belongs in that conversation.
The shophouse address at Tras Street gives Ki Su a low-rise, street-level presence that is common in Tanjong Pagar but works well for an intimate meal. Shophouse dining rooms in this part of Singapore tend toward compact, considered spaces , visually quieter than the grand hotel restaurants on Orchard Road, and better suited to conversation. If you are coming for a date or a small group celebration, the format fits. Do not expect a sprawling room or dramatic views; expect a contained, focused environment where the plate is the main visual event.
For special occasions, the scale works in your favour. Smaller rooms at this price point mean you are not paying for a hotel ballroom or a celebrity chef's ego project. The food carries the weight of the experience, which is the right arrangement when the kitchen has two Michelin Plates to back it up.
Tanjong Pagar is a weekday lunch and dinner neighbourhood as much as a weekend destination, with strong office and resident traffic Monday through Friday. For a celebratory dinner, a weekday evening is likely to be quieter and more attentive than a Saturday peak. Booking difficulty is rated Easy, which means you do not need to plan weeks in advance , but confirming a reservation rather than walking in is still the sensible approach, particularly for groups or if you have a specific occasion in mind. Singapore's humidity makes covered, indoor venues preferable year-round, and Ki Su's shophouse setting delivers that without requiring any particular seasonal planning.
The editorial question worth addressing directly: is Ki Su worth considering for takeout or delivery? At the $$ price tier with Michelin Plate recognition, Ki Su sits in the range where the kitchen is clearly doing considered, technique-driven work with vegetables. That kind of cooking , where texture, temperature, and composition matter , is always at some disadvantage off-premise. Plant-based dishes that rely on precise cooking are more vulnerable to transit time than, say, a robustly braised or fried format.
Without specific delivery menu data in the record, it would be speculative to say Ki Su offers a delivery-optimised option. What the price tier and cuisine type suggest is that if you are eating Ki Su at its leading, you are eating it in the room. For vegetarian food that is more deliberately built for off-premise formats, Singapore has other options across the price spectrum. Ki Su's Michelin recognition is an in-restaurant credential. If you are weighing a special occasion delivery order against booking a table, book the table.
For broader vegetarian dining comparisons across other cities, I Tenerumi in Isola Vulcano, Joia in Milan, and Bonvivant in Berlin represent the kind of serious vegetarian kitchens Ki Su belongs alongside. Closer to home, Whole Earth in Singapore offers a different style of local vegetarian cooking worth knowing about.

No dress code is recorded for Ki Su. Tanjong Pagar restaurants at the $$ tier with Michelin recognition typically attract smart casual guests , think neat, put-together rather than formal. You will not be turned away for wearing jeans, but if you are coming for a celebration, dressing a step above casual fits the mood and the occasion better.
The kitchen is entirely vegetarian, which resolves the meat question by default. For specific allergen needs or vegan requirements beyond the vegetarian base, contact Ki Su directly before booking , no detailed dietary policy is on record here. The vegetarian focus does make it a strong candidate for mixed groups where at least one diner does not eat meat, since the whole menu is built around plants rather than adapted from a meat-forward list.
At the $$ price tier, Ki Su is positioned well below Singapore's tasting menu heavy-hitters. Two Michelin Plates across consecutive years signal consistent kitchen quality, which is exactly what you want when committing to a multi-course format. If you are choosing between Ki Su and a $$$$ omakase or tasting menu elsewhere in Singapore, Ki Su wins on value for money for vegetarian-focused guests. For tasting menu depth at higher price points, Les Amis or Odette are the reference points , but they are a different price tier entirely.
Ki Su is a Michelin Plate vegetarian restaurant in Tanjong Pagar at the $$ price tier , so the first thing to know is that it overdelivers for its price. Booking is easy by Singapore fine-dining standards, the address is direct to reach in one of the city's most walkable dining neighbourhoods, and the 4.9 Google rating across 161 reviews suggests consistency you can count on. Come with an open mind about vegetarian cooking as a full dining experience, not a concession. If you are new to serious plant-based dining, this is a low-risk, high-reward introduction. For more context on Singapore's vegetarian dining scene, Whole Earth offers a useful local comparison at a similar price tier.
For vegetarian dining in Singapore, Whole Earth is the most direct local comparison , established, well-regarded, and similarly priced. If you are open to moving beyond strictly vegetarian menus, Jaan by Kirk Westaway at $$$ offers serious produce-led cooking with strong vegetarian options in a more formal setting. For globally comparable vegetarian restaurants, Mi Xun Teahouse in Chengdu and Guat'z Essen in Stumm represent the same commitment to plant-forward cooking with serious kitchen credentials. Mita in Washington D.C. is worth noting for travellers who want a reference point in the US market.

Side-by-side comparison to help you decide where to book.
Dress neatly but not formally. Ki Su is a shophouse-format restaurant at the $$ price tier, and the neighbourhood context of Tras Street skews toward polished casual rather than black-tie. Think clean trousers and a collared shirt or equivalent — overdressing would be out of place, underdressing (beachwear, activewear) would not suit a two-time Michelin Plate recipient.
The entire menu is vegetarian, which removes the most common sourcing concern upfront. If you have additional restrictions beyond vegetarianism — vegan, gluten-free, or specific allergies — check the venue's official channels before booking rather than assuming the kitchen can accommodate on arrival. The Michelin Plate recognition suggests kitchen precision, but specific allergy policies are not documented here.
At the $$ price tier with two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) and a 4.9 Google rating from over 160 reviews, Ki Su delivers strong value for the category. For vegetarian fine dining in Singapore, it is difficult to find this level of recognition at this price point, which makes the booking case straightforward if the format suits you.
Book in advance — the venue holds a 4.9 Google rating, and Michelin Plate recognition brings consistent demand to a compact shophouse space at 60 Tras Street. The cuisine is fully vegetarian, so arrive knowing that upfront rather than expecting a mixed menu. Booking difficulty is rated Easy, meaning you should be able to secure a table without weeks of lead time, but confirming a reservation beats walking in.
For a step up in formality and price, Zén (three Michelin stars) and Jaan by Kirk Westaway operate at a different tier entirely and suit special-occasion spending rather than the accessible $$ bracket Ki Su occupies. Summer Pavilion at The Ritz-Carlton offers refined Cantonese with vegetarian options but is not a vegetarian-specific restaurant. If you want meat-focused fine dining instead, Burnt Ends or Seroja offer distinct experiences that make the comparison moot — Ki Su is the clear call if vegetarian fine dining is your brief.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
