For the viral sushi pizza in Singapore, you’ve gotta head down to Maguro Brothers at Tanjong Pagar.
For those who haven’t seen the videos, this is how a Sushi Pizza is made. It’s essentially a seaweed cut in triangles, dip in tempura batter, and deep fried. The crispy and hardened seaweed serves as the base, with a thin layer sushi rice spread across, followed by fresh sashimi and sauce.
Also, if the name “Maguro Brothers” sounds familiar, it’s because it’s founded by the same team behind Kuro Maguro, known for serving one of the freshest and most affordable tuna in Singapore.
How’s the food at Maguro Brothers?
If we had to sum up our dining experience at Maguro Brothers, it would be “high quality food at a crazy affordable price”.
But before we share more about their tuna dishes, let’s divert our attention back to the viral sushi pizza.
Sushi Pizza — gimmicky or actually good?
One of the few restaurants in Singapore that serves this viral dish, Maguro Brother’s Sushi Pizza was addictively good.
From $15.8, you can get the sushi pizza in five different flavours:
- Magurorita Pizza ($19.8)
- Salmon Terimayo Pizza ($16.8)
- Chirashi Pizza ($17.8)
- Grilled Chicken Pizza ($15.8)
- Spicy Salmon Pizza ($16.8)
How did they taste?
The seaweed tempura was crispy even with all the rice and sauce over it. It held up the ingredients firmly, even when we were just holding it from the crust.
Maguro Brothers, if you’re reading this, considering selling seaweed tempura chips please.
In addition, each flavour was very well done, and most importantly, distinctive from one another.
The Magurorita Pizza ($19.8) is the best-seller for good reason. Think of it as a Japanese version of parma ham and cheese, but with maguro and Mozzarella instead. It’s fresh and all, but the most valuable playe here had to be the wasabi mayo sauce, which gave it that extra kick and umami that it needed.
This was so good. We couldn’t stop eating it.
Meanwhile, the Salmon Terimayo Pizza ($16.8) and Spicy Salmon Pizza ($16.8) used such fatty pieces of salmon. Both were equally flavourful. But if I had to pick a favourite, my vote would go to the spicy version.
Admittedly, the Grilled Chicken Pizza ($15.8) was good as well. The chicken was tender and well marinated. But for that price, in comparison with it’s sushi counterparts, it’s just not really that worth it in my opinion.
7 Kinds of Maguro
I don’t think the sushi pizza here was gimmicky. True, it might be a little pricey, but hey, it’s probably the only sushi pizza in Singapore anyway. More importantly, it takes technique to get the texture of the seaweed tempura just right.
However, if you want to stick to the classics, we recommend getting their signature 7 Kinds of Maguro ($62)
As the name suggests, this platter comes with seven types of cuts from the tuna fish.
You’ll get the classics like akami, chutoro and otoro. But if you’re dying to try something new, they also have the cheeks and fin area lightly grilled, as well as negitoro, which is scraps of tuna from the carcass.
The most interesting one of all had to be the toumi, which is the forehead. It’s meaty, but fatty at the same time. Think of it as a good blend of akami and otoro.
Why are the prices at Maguro Brothers so low?
If you’re wondering why Maguro Brothers is able to price their high-quality sashimi so competitively, it’s because they’re also a tune wholesaler from Miura Misaki Port, Japan.
