Mustard Seed

I had the pleasure of dining at Mustard Seed twice, first in September and again just last week, and I’m happy to share that the food remained wonderfully consistent across both visits. That level of consistency is truly the mark of a great restaurant. I’ve heard about Mustard Seed long ago, since pre-Covid days and always knew how hard it was to secure a seat. Finally dining here feels like a real privilege. On both occasions, the restaurant was full, which is always a happy sight and speaks to its well-deserved popularity. Now, onto the stars of the show: the food. I genuinely appreciate the thoughtful elements behind each dish - the layers of flavour, the intricate concepts, and the meticulous execution. Every course feels deeply considered and beautifully balanced. I’m already looking forward to the next season’s menu. Fingers crossed I manage to get a seat again… it’s honestly harder than camping for my university modules! PS: Bonus clip of the cat who greeted us after our first dinner 🐈‍⬛

[Mustard Seed] has gone and done it again! Their revamped restaurant serves to follow a change in their dining philosophy, from one of showcase, to a more traditional and familial affair. Their new menu, too has undergone another evolution! The food feels more put together, and cohesive. They seemed to have found a new rhythm with an expanded team and it shows in their dishes! FOH has gotten warmer, friendlier, yet somehow even more professional and the overall experience now feels less rushed then it once was, while still retaining the hallmarks of their known efficiency. I'm generally critical of small dining tables as most restaurants have trouble juggling the tiny real estate with ambitions of clutter with dining comfort, but I have to say, this was incredibly well managed. Not once throughout our meal, even when multiple dishes and large sharing plates descend, with drinks on our small table did we experience the dreaded claustrophobia! That is a truly rare and often unnoticed experience. Well done! Honestly, with the new structure, system, layout and theme, I feel it will serve them well should their objective ever be in a pursuit of a (*). *Thoughts of individual dishes are in the captions in the photos.

It’s pretty difficult to book as they only have 12 counter seats plus 2 seats at a side table but we managed to finally secure a table The tricky part is they serve every course for everyone at the same time at 7.30 so if you are late you may affect everyone else’s experience. Menu changes every two months and this month’s menu is seafood based which is very yummy and not too heavy with meat. There’s 9 courses so we were so full… really like the twist and the creativity of reinventing Singapore’s flavours but $238 for this location maybe a little steep. My most favorite was abalone and buckwheat dessert

Last visited in Jan 2024 Have visited Mustard Seed a couple of times. Getting a reservation is super difficult here and both times I did a reservation due to someone cancelling. Follow their Instagram page to get to know of cancellations. The menu changes every 2 months and I have tried 2 menus here. Both times, the food quality was good and the menu was a nice journey of flavours and creativity. Mustard Seed specialises in creating some interesting fusions of different Asian cuisines. The starting dishes are fantastic which set a good tone in the beginning. However, in both my meals, I felt that the main dishes were slightly underwhelming for my taste. There is a drinks (alcoholic and non alcoholic) menu too. Service is excellent. The restaurant catered to my food allergy both times by replacing certain ingredients in a few courses. All in all, a good restaurant which is worth a visit.

Managed to get a lunch spot after a cancellation. Really worthwhile visit as the dishes are exquisite. Enjoyed the second dish which was a tartar with Chye Poh. The taste was familiar yet different. The scallop with curry sauce was also memorable. It is great that they explain all the dishes when they come out so you can recognise the different ingredients used. Very imaginative blend of different types of food and superbly executed. The service was also very professional and thoughtful with small wet tissues for each course. They change their menu every two months so great to come back to try different things.

I went to that restaurant with super high hopes, especially since it was so not cheap. I was a little letdown. They clearly tried hard, but their take on certain dishes wasn't all that special. The whole dinner was also kind of rushed. Honestly, the food and ingredients weren't worth the price we paid. I didn't like the dessert. They might try to create their versions, but the original version seemed much nicer.

We really love Mustard Seed. Reservations are so difficult to get and are usually gone within a few minutes of posting. We make it a point to try and come when there is a menu change. What we love about it is that the flavors for each dish are accessible and familiar for the Asian palate, but presented in such a novel way that it surprises you! If they were to open a standalone restaurant just for their Nasi Padang they’d make a killing! Our only feedback for this visit: persimmon dessert was too sweet for our liking. What a great meal! Looking forward to coming again if we can get a reservation for next season!

A very well hidden treasure. Pretty, yummy food prepared by very talented chefs in a nice comfortable atmosphere. A wonderful culinary experience that captures the essence of our local food and gave me a different perspective of what the dishes could be. A lot of attention was given to the details of each dish and you can tell a lot of “heart” was put into it. Really appreciated the energy and sincerity of the chefs too. The sake pairing was amazing. Menu changes every two months, will definitely be back to try their new menu!!
