Shiok! Singapore Kitchen offers a selection of authentic Singaporean food in a casual and friendly environment. We hope you will enjoy our home-cooked flavors and find it a Shiok experience too. Singapore is a multi-ethnic society made up of Chinese, Malay, and Indian, whose immigrant forefathers brought with them rich food traditions from across Asia. Typical Singaporean food is thus an exciting blend of culinary heritage based on some of Asia's greatest cuisine. This combination creates a unique and dynamic flavor more lively and far richer than the traditions from which they stem.

Thoroughly enjoyable with excellent food and ambiance. The waiter was excellent; great service while not hovering. My birthday announcement in Open Table was ignored and the music, a delightful surprise on a Thursday night, was a bit too loud. Can’t wait to return.

After giving the server mild ribbing over the soft serve “swirl” actually not being a swirl and that the cookies that normally accompany not present, the manager came by and offered some cookies that had been set aside (baker was absent that day) and to comp us the non-swirl swirl. We accepted the cookies and declined the comp, but it was a GREAT gesture!
