Sushi Express, the value sushi chain known for its flat-priced plates, is a frequent halal search among diners hunting cheap sushi. The register answer is at the top of this page; here is the context around it.
What Sushi Express says
Sushi Express has not published a halal certification or a halal position for its Singapore outlets. Its official Singapore website presents the group’s brands, including the main Sushi Express chain, a takeout concept and Sushi Plus, but carries no ingredient or certification statements. Questions about specific items, such as whether the rice seasoning uses mirin or how sauces and imitation crab are sourced, are best directed to the chain itself, as recipes and suppliers can change without notice.
What this means for you
Without a certificate there is nothing to verify against the register, so eating at Sushi Express becomes a personal judgement about ingredients rather than a verifiable certification status. Sushi is a category where the uncertainty sits in the details - seasonings, vinegars and sauces - rather than in the headline items, so the absence of a published position leaves more open questions than it would at, say, a drinks kiosk. If certification is your standard, treat Sushi Express as unverified rather than as either halal or non-halal, and re-check the register from time to time - chains do enter the register when they certify premises.
Certified alternatives
If you want your sushi fix with a certificate you can actually check, start from these register-backed pages:

To check any specific outlet, use the register search with the outlet name or the mall’s postal code.
