VivoCity has 161 places to eat. Nobody is browsing all of that, so here is the short list: 28 worth walking to, with unit numbers, sorted by what you actually came for.
The floor logic matters more here than at most malls. B2 is the cheap and fast basement and it connects straight to HarbourFront MRT, so it is where you eat if you have twenty minutes. Level 1 is the waterfront strip with the al fresco tables. Level 3 is the big sit down cluster, and it is also where you catch the Sentosa Express.
Hikiniku to ComeHamburg steak from Tokyo's Kichijoji. They grind the beef in store every morning, grill it over charcoal in front of you, and cook the rice in a hagama pot. You finish the patty yourself on a hot stone, which is half the fun.
TORIKIZOKUOsaka yakitori chain with 600 plus outlets in Japan, and every plate here is $3.90++ for two skewers. That flat price is the whole trick: you order twelve things without doing sums.
Kott-Don 360Korean aged meat, grilled at your table. The name is the pitch: 360 hours of ageing on the premium black pork. Go with people who will argue about who does the flipping.
HAKKA YUHakka cooking from a chain with more than 90 stores in China, founded 2013. Salt, fat and slow cooking. If you have only had Hakka food at a wedding dinner, this is a different thing.
Shabu Suki 99One pot each, so nobody fights over the broth and nobody has to eat someone else's chilli. Mix and match sets, which makes it easy for a group that cannot agree.
LITTLE PONDPrawn and fish dishes from the team that started in Holland Village in 2024. Small menu, done properly.
Food Republic27,000 square feet, 30 plus stalls, done up like early 1900s Singapore right down to a Chinese sedan chair. This is the one to bring a group to when everyone wants something different.
Kopitiam Food HallThirty stalls in the basement plus a bar doing local cocktails. Michelin listed Ann Chin Handmade Popiah trades here, which is the reason to come down rather than up.
Encik TanA halal certified mini food court doing the Chinese hawker dishes that are usually off limits: Hainanese curry rice, wanton mee, claypot rice. Genuinely useful if your group is mixed.
The Original Beach Road Scissors Cut Curry RiceFounded in 1930, four generations in. Curry rice the messy way, everything cut with scissors and drowned in gravy. Do not wear white.
Song Fa Bak Kut TehPeppery Teochew pork rib soup, at it since 1969. Ask for the soup refill, it is free and it is the point.
Old Chang KeeCurry puff, eat it walking. Been doing it since 1956 and it is still the correct answer when you are early for a movie.
Din Tai FungXiao long bao folded behind glass. Nobody in the group ever objects, which is exactly why it is always full.
PUTIENFujian cooking, and the fried Heng Hwa bee hoon with ten ingredients is the dish to judge them on. Quieter and more grown up than most of this level.
Paradise DynastyEight coloured xiao long bao in one steamer, from crab roe to cheese to Szechuan. It is a gimmick and it is also genuinely fun to eat through with someone.
HaiDiLao HotPotSichuan hotpot with the famous service: free snacks while you queue, an apron for your clothes, a hair tie if you need one. Come hungry and with time.
Dancing CrabCrab dumped straight onto butcher paper on your table, no plates, no cutlery worth mentioning. Boston lobster through to Dungeness crab, plus a bar and live music.
MarchéThey shipped in 500 year old Swiss mountain houses and an actual cable car to build this. You walk around with a card and collect rösti, paella and pork knuckle from stations. Kids love it, adults pretend not to.
Seafood ParadiseParadise Group's very first restaurant, which began as a Defu Lane hawker stall. The creamy butter crab is the signature and it is worth the mess.
Shake ShackAngus smashburgers and frozen custard, with waterfront al fresco seating. Sitting outside facing the water is the whole reason to pick this branch.
Brotzeit German Bier BarHomegrown since 2006. Oven roasted pork knuckle, their own sausages, cold beer, and tables outside facing the harbour. Best at sunset.
Birds of ParadiseGelato made from fruits, flowers, herbs and spices rather than straight sugar. Homegrown, and the queue moves faster than it looks.
Awfully ChocolateStarted in 1998 with one chocolate cake and not much else. The hei ice cream is the sleeper order.
Tiong Bahru BakeryCroissants and pastries, and a decent flat white. The correct stop before you walk the boardwalk to Sentosa.
Ichigo by Tea CottageUji matcha from Kyoto, whisked by hand when you order it. Slower than a bubble tea queue and that is the point.
ChaPandaChengdu bubble tea chain, founded 2008, now in the basement. Fruit teas are the stronger half of the menu.
Bake It BabeThai banana cake from a brand that started in a Bangkok home kitchen in 2019. Baked daily, and it goes.
HEYTEAThe brand that invented cheese tea. Grape and mango cheezo are the ones to get if you have never had a salted cheese foam on top of fruit tea.
Take the North East Line or the Circle Line to HarbourFront station. VivoCity is directly connected, and the B2 basement opens straight onto the station, so you can be eating within a couple of minutes of getting off.
The mall runs 10am to 10pm daily. VivoCity does not publish opening hours for individual outlets, so if you are making a special trip for one restaurant, check that brand's own page or call ahead.
The B2 basement. Kopitiam Food Hall at #B2-40 has 30 stalls, Encik Tan at #B2-45 is a halal-certified mini food court, and the scissors-cut curry rice at #B2-23A is old-school cheap. Upstairs, Food Republic at #03-01 has 30 plus stalls at hawker prices.
Yes. Encik Tan at #B2-45 is a halal-certified food court doing Chinese hawker dishes, and Old Chang Kee at #B2-K15 is halal-flagged in the mall's directory. Always check the certificate at the counter if it matters to you.
Three ways, all from the mall. The Sentosa Express monorail leaves from Lobby L on Level 3, you can walk across on the boardwalk from the promenade, or take bus RWS8 from the stop on Telok Blangah Road.
Level 1 is the waterfront strip. Shake Shack at #01-163 and Brotzeit at #01-149 both have al fresco tables facing the harbour, and both are best around sunset.
On weekdays between 4am and midnight it is $1.60 for the first hour then $0.80 per half hour after. On weekends and public holidays it is $2.20 then $1.10. There are over 2,000 spaces across the basement and the multi-storey. Rates are the mall's published ones as of February 2026.
