Jellyfish Sushi

2026 opening record. Confirm current status

Jellyfish Sushi is a 10-seat counter inside Bjorn Shen's Artichoke at New Bahru, next to his Small's. Time Out reported in February 2026 that the opening menu was a 12-course "doughmakase" at S$165 a head, replacing the vinegared rice of Edomae sushi with parts of a bread loaf — top crust, side crust and spongy centre matched to each fish. HungryGoWhere disclosed a hosted tasting; Time Out states no disclosure either way.

Worth it for / Skip if

Not on record yet. Clauses here are generated only from named fields — a published price, a booking route, the verified hours — and this venue carries too few of them to draw the line honestly. Nothing is inferred to fill the gap.

What it costs

No priced item is on record for this venue. Forkin publishes a price only where a dated public source carries it, so nothing is estimated here.

How to get a seat

No online booking channel is on record for this venue. Verified hours are not on record either, so call ahead before travelling.

The longer version

Jellyfish Sushi is the third concept Bjorn Shen runs inside one address at New Bahru, 46 Kim Yam Road: a 10-seat counter behind Artichoke and beside Small's, his earlier chef's-table room. Time Out describes the division of labour between the two — Small's as the ingredient-led research room with monthly fixed menus, Jellyfish as the narrower one, pointed at sushi-like constructions and raw or lightly treated seafood. Time Out's February 2026 account described the opening menu as a 12-course "doughmakase" at S$165 a head, built on a single substitution: where Edomae sushi tempers vinegared rice to meet each fish, here it is bread, and HungryGoWhere records Shen using three different parts of a loaf across the courses — the spongier lower half under rich amberjack, the fluffier top crust under red sea bream, the crunchy side crust for a negitoro hand roll. Both accounts note the lineage he cites for it: Scandinavian open-faced herring, Spanish anchovies on bread, the Northern German fischbrotchen. HungryGoWhere states "This was a hosted tasting." Time Out rates the meal 4 out of 5 and states no disclosure either way; its reviewer found the bread sushi "sounds more unconventional than it tastes", named the kombu-aged red sea bream as the favourite course, and registered one reservation — that for a menu billed as a doughmakase, the bread itself deserved more prominence, "a conceptual lapse, if anything, given that the flavours are spot on". Both reviewers landed on the same two non-sushi courses as the standouts: the Awaji Island wakame noodles with a roasted mackerel-bone tsuyu and a cold asari clam potage, and the pickled heirloom tomato. The menu was described as built to be replaced, so these dish names and the reported price describe the February 2026 opening menu, not a verified current offer; there is no official site beyond an Instagram account to confirm it.

Signature dishes

No dish is named for this venue in any source on record. Dishes are listed here only where an official source names them, so none are guessed from menus or reviews.

The official menu

No official menu is on record for this venue. Forkin transcribes a menu only from the venue's own published source, never from a review or an aggregator listing.

Opening hours

Day-by-day hours are not verified for this venue. Hours are published here only once a dated source has been read for the whole week, so a partial week is never shown as a full one.

Why Jellyfish Sushi scores 7.8

WORTH A LOOK · band 7.0–8.4 (base 7.5)

The Forkin Evidence Score is a transparent calibration of the published evidence behind this venue's editorial stamp — not a personal dining rating, and never derived from Google data. It starts from the stamp's base value, applies the five evidence adjustments below, then clamps the result inside the stamp's band.

WORTH A LOOK

Confidence: medium

Forkin desk assessment of attributable public coverage — not a personal dining review.

Two countable exact-outlet reviews survive, both current and both detailed on specific courses. That supports a rating but not the top band, which needs either greater volume or major-calibre criticism; the previous 8.7 rested partly on an invited tasting.

Last assessed 15 August 2026 · 2 linked substantive sources

Caveat: The SG Food on Foot review carries an explicit "Note: This is an invited tasting" disclosure and has been removed from the counted set. The Honeycombers review is counted under desk ruling B9-R2: the same publisher expressly discloses an invitation on its Saint Pierre review of 27 May 2026, assessed in this same batch, which demonstrates that it does disclose invited access when it applies. Its silence here therefore supports independence. The Straits Times feature of 28 February 2026 identifies the venue but discusses culinary authenticity rather than assessing a meal, so it is context only. Time Out Singapore is a standing publisher-level exclusion. The venue is a ten-seat counter inside Artichoke at 46 Kim Yam Road, #01-02, New Bahru, confirmed bookable at retrieval on 2026-08-15.
