Worth it for / Skip if
Worth it for — knowing the bill before you go — the venue publishes S$168 to S$360 across the individual items on record; a table you can lock in — seats are booked through TableCheck.
Skip if — you are deciding at the door: the record carries a booking route, not a walk-in policy.
Every clause above is drawn from a named field in this venue's record — a published price, a booking route, the verified hours — and nothing else.

The longer version
Since chef Taro Takayama took over Ki-sho's kitchen in September 2025, national broadsheet critics have praised his produce-led kappo cooking — a clear rausu kombu dashi, dry-aged sashimi, Tottori wagyu, and a signature sanma donabe. The Straits Times called the meal a highlight worth returning for; the Business Times was more measured, rating it 'good to very good' while noting a dessert served cold rather than freshly made.

Opening hours
Day-by-day hours are not verified for this venue. The venue's own summary reads: {"sat": "Dinner: 6:30pm – 11:00pm", "closed": "Sundays; lunch is closed on Saturday and Public Holidays", "mon-fri": "Lunch: 12pm – 3:00pm; Dinner: 6:30pm – 11:00pm"}. 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.

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.

Editorial stamp
WORTH A LOOK
Confidence: mediumForkin desk assessment of attributable public coverage — not a personal dining review.
The previously counted HungryGoWhere piece is excluded here as a disclosed hosted tasting, matching the treatment already flagged as a caveat in the stored record. In its place, a Straits Times 'Food Picks' review by senior food correspondent Tan Hsueh Yun was located — unreservedly positive, dish-specific, and independently sourced. That leaves two genuinely independent, exact-outlet, dated, dish-specific reviews from Singapore's two major English broadsheets: the Business Times gave a qualified 7.5/10 ('good to very good') with one specific criticism (financiers served cold), while the Straits Times was fully positive. Two elite-calibre critics broadly agreeing, but with one recording a real (if minor) flaw, supports WORTH A LOOK at medium confidence rather than the top stamp — consistency is recorded as moderate rather than high because it is not unanimous praise.
Last assessed 13 August 2026 · 2 linked substantive sources
Caveat: The originally counted HungryGoWhere feature is now excluded because it explicitly discloses 'This was a hosted tasting' — it should not have been treated as 'counted_substantive' in the prior record even though its independence limitation was already flagged in that record's caveats. An Eatbook 'new restaurants' roundup (October 2025) and a Daniel Food Diary omakase listicle were located but excluded: the Eatbook piece is a listicle mention without dish-level critical evaluation, and the DFD piece predates chef Takayama's 2025 arrival, describing the prior chef (Kazuhiro Hamamoto) — pre-regime-change lineage only, not usable for the current stamp. Confidence is set to medium rather than higher because only two countable sources survive, and the Business Times' own explicit 7.5/10 rating ('good to very good') signals a qualified rather than unreserved endorsement. Excluded from the assessment as non-independent or non-countable: HungryGoWhere: Disclosed hosted tasting — excluded as non-independent per the sponsorship test, regardless of its previous 'counted_substantive' treatment in the stored record..
