Are These London Restaurants Worth The Hype?

"Verdict: A useful spot to know about if you get your order right, but not everything hits. All butterscotch yellow walls, mint-green tiles, and retro checkerboard floors, Singapulah on Shaftesbury Avenue is a pretty place to pop in for a decent plate of food. The menu changes to spotlight different suppliers—get the creamy laksa, the bouncy shui jing dumplings, and the wonton mee with cold-busting pork broth if it’s on, but skip the nasi lemak. Follow that formula, and this Singaporean, walk-in only spot is a solid bet for a central London meet-up and pre-show meals. " - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing

Singapulah - Review - Soho - London - The Infatuation

"Singapulah isn’t perfect: the service is like an off-the-lead spaniel, friendly but chaotic, and some dishes are misses. But if you know what to order, this Singaporean spot is a solid bet for a central London meet-up and pre-show meals. All butterscotch yellow walls, mint-green tiles, and retro checkerboard floors, Singapulah on Shaftesbury Avenue is a pretty place to pop in for a decent plate of food. The menu changes to spotlight different suppliers—get the creamy laksa, the bouncy shui jing dumplings, and the wonton mee with cold-busting pork broth if it’s on, but skip the nasi lemak. For now, this joint venture between the Singapore Tourism Board and the people behind Rasa Sayang, is walk-in only. So if you arrive after 6pm, expect to join the crowd enviously peering in at families dunking luncheon meat fritters. photo credit: Rob Billington photo credit: Rob Billington" - Sinéad Cranna

Singapulah & Arôme Adds Singaporean Restaurant and Bakery to Soho | Eater London

"Opening on 6 November as a 50-cover restaurant at 15 Frith Street in Soho, this new spot channels Singapore’s hawker dining culture under the guidance of restaurateur Ellen Chew, head chef Lynette Zheng, and operator Willin Low. Its flagship is the Roxy laksa, a family recipe that began trading outside the Roxy Theatre in the 1950s and later moved to East Coast Lagoon Food Centre and Timbre+; the dish is a forerunner of Katong laksa, notable for shortened noodles and a broth thickened with ground dried shrimp. The menu also focuses on authentic hawker classics, including bak chor mee (noodles in a chilli–vinegar sauce with minced pork, pork belly, pork liver and pork balls), chwee kueh rice cakes, and brunch kaya toast, aiming to recreate a true Singaporean street-food experience in central London." - James Hansen

Really enjoyed this restaurant. The chilli crab was fantastic and the buns were just crispy enough and soft enough. The only thing we didn’t like was the Siew Mai. A little taste of Singapore in London, without the taste being watered down too much for the locals (you can tell when every other patron in the restaurant is also a Singaporean). I would definitely visit again.

We came straight at 12 for lunch and it was the most wonderful dining experience we've had in a long time. The interior is beautiful, the staff is attentive and the food is simply delicious. As vegetarians we had plenty of options to choose from. The home made tofu with mushrooms was our favourite 🍄‍🟫❤️ The flavours in every dish are outstanding and detectable. I'm very grateful I got experience an afternoon of the little red dot right here in London. Thank you team Singapulah! 🇸🇬

My family and I visited your restaurant for lunch on November 16, and we had a wonderful dining experience👍 The chili crab was delicious with a hint of Thai flavor, which made it quite unique. 😋The laksa had excellent ingredients and a rich, flavorful broth. The fried chicken nasi lemak and pork satay skewers were also amazing — they really reminded me of being in Singapore. Overall, the dishes were exactly the flavors I love. I would also like to give special compliments to Michael ( the waiter upstairs）His friendly service, thoughtful attention, and hardworking attitude truly enhanced our experience. I look forward to visiting again, and I hope to see more dishes on the menu next time — especially Hainanese chicken rice and bak kut teh 🥰 Thank you so much !

We did not make a reservation but my friend saw there were a couple of tables free, and no queue, so she asked if she could grab a table for 2. After a bit of a fuss about not making a reservation and where the other person was, she managed to get a table. I arrived 5 mins later. Great! We got a table. We didn’t get the ‘special menu’ with the platter option so we went with normal à la carte. We ordered a few dishes so we got to try a variety. We wanted to try the skewers: choice of 4 chicken or 4 pork. We wanted to try two of each, but were told this was not allowed so we opted for satay chicken. The food arrived pretty quick - before our drinks actually! Drinks were really nice - we had ‘Lions Eye’ and ‘Calamansi Mockjito’. Char Kway Teow :- there’s no ‘wok Hei’ in this and was surprised there were noodles in there with Ho Fun! Overall this was just OK, and disappointing. Fried Chilli crab Bao :- freshly fried and crispy outer bun, however, the filling was non existent and lacking crab! Definitely won’t be ordering this again. Satay chicken:- nice and meat wasn’t dry . Satay sauce was nice. Sambal Prawns:- this was really nice and a little spicy. Nasi Lemak Sambal Eggplant:- this was also really nice. Overall it was a nice dinner but disappointed with the crab Bao and Char Kway Teow. Service was good considering how busy the restaurant is.

Stopped by Singapulah for a quick takeaway meal, and it was fast and satisfying. We ordered the fried crab chili bao, bok chor mee, and a coconut shake. The highlight was definitely the bao — even as takeout, it stayed crispy and full of flavor, which is impressive. The bok chor mee was well-seasoned overall, though a touch on the salty side. The coconut shake was refreshing and creamy, a little icy, but it definitely hit the spot. Overall, a great option for quick, tasty Singaporean-inspired food, especially when you’re on the go.

This place is a home run. Service, on point. Servers, all knowledgable, friendly and warm. The food, 100/10. Atmosphere, amazing. Restaurant, top notch. You literally leave the hectic streets of the West End to be welcomed into this gem of a restaurant. Stylish, buzzy, and modern interiors make you feel as though you’ve been taken to Singapore. I went with a party of 5 so we all had the ability to try so much of the food, what a treat that was! Highly recommend the crab bao, beef ho fun, three chickens and laksa! But everything on their menu features top quality, fresh, delicious and superb dishes. Cannot wait to go back!

Enjoyed Singapulah! The food is authentic for London, though a bit on the sweet side for my taste. Great ambiance and a fun retro vibe throughout the restaurant. Portions are generous, and I’d definitely come back — just please go a little easier on the sugar!
