This popular mall is home to a great mix of restaurants and cafés, from quick bites and comfort food to Korean barbecue, pan-fried buns, burgers, and even late-night supper options.
Whether you are craving viral names like Chick-fil-A and SIDES, or looking to try crowd-pleasers and family favourites such as Lau Wang Claypot and Kimchi Mama, there are plenty of places to try.
Here’s a tip: head up to Level 7 and you will find ‘secret’ gems like Bloom & Boom and Sticks & Stones too.
To help you decide where to start, this Bugis+ food guide rounds up 12 food places to check out the next time hunger hits:
Chick-fil-A
Bugis+ #01-19
Opening Hours: 10am – 10pm (Mon – Sat), Closed Sun
Famous American Chicken Sandwich and Signature Waffle Fries
Think Chick-fil-A and one thing immediately comes to mind: its iconic chicken sandwich.
This outlet marks the brand’s first restaurant in Singapore and Asia, bringing its well-known lineup of chicken sandwiches, waffle potato fries, lemonade, milkshakes, and signature sauces to Bugis+.
What We’re Here For
The Chick-fil-A Deluxe Sandwich Meal is a good way to try the brand’s classic flavours for the first time.
This sandwich features a seasoned breaded chicken breast served with lettuce, tomato, and melted American cheese on a toasted bun.
Pair your sandwich with the Waffle Potato Fries, which have a firm texture and are great for dipping into sauces.
I say go for the Singapore-exclusive Spicy Chili Sauce, which balances sweetness and red pepper with hints of lemon and garlic.
Kimchi Mama
Bugis+ #04-11
Opening Hours: 11:30am – 10pm (Mon – Sun)
Korean Hotstone Rice and Stews for a Comforting Meal
Kimchi Mama serves homely Korean comfort food on the fourth floor, with a menu inspired by family recipes from Jeju Island.
The menu features an extensive range of over 50 well-loved Korean dishes, ranging from bubbling stews to sizzling rice bowls.
Every meal also comes with free-flow banchan, providing different varieties of side dishes to kick off your lunch or dinner.
What We’re Here For
The Hotstone Kimchi Beef Steak Rice is a great choice if you enjoy a meal that arrives at the table sizzling and full of texture.
This dish features succulent pieces of beef steak and spicy-savoury kimchi topped with a golden egg yolk that you mix into the crispy rice.
For something with a bit more heat, the Spicy Kimchi and Clams Soondubu offers a robust broth with silky tofu and a briny sweetness from fresh clams.
Bloom & Boom
Bugis+ #07-04
Opening Hours: 11am – 10pm (Tues – Sun), Closed Mon
Dreamy Floral-Themed Day-To-Night Venue
Bloom & Boom is a floral-themed café and dining space on Level 7 of Bugis+, with a vintage cottagecore look and a day-to-night concept.
The space is filled with floral arrangements and rustic furniture, making it feel like a calm escape from the busy mall below.
Now you know where to enjoy specialty lattes and pretty desserts that feel like a hidden European garden at Bugis+.
What We’re Here For
What I found interesting is its dual concept. It works equally well as a bright brunch spot in the day and a dinner place in the evening.
The menu is broad and creative, featuring everything from delicate Berry Bavarois (everyone seems to order this) and Chocolate Mousse during the day, to hearty Angus Ribeye Steaks, Pan-Seared Scallops with Pea Puree, and Spanish Seafood Paella.
Sticks & Stones
Bugis+ #07-05/06
Opening Hours: 5:30pm – 3am (Mon – Sun)
Singapore’s First Interactive Gaming Restobar with BBQ Skewers and Live Music
Sticks & Stones brings a fresh energy to Level 7 of Bugis+ as the first interactive gaming restobar in Singapore.
The venue features a lush garden aesthetic with hanging greenery and woven lamps, creating an ideal setting for long evenings.
With a 3AM closing time, it clearly caters to the late-night crowd, offering a space where friends can unwind over food, drinks, live music, and interactive games.
What We’re Here For
The dining experience focuses on hearty mains like the Signature Boneless Spicy Chicken (aka La Zi Ji) and Grilled Unagi & Beef Rice.
Customisable skewers are available as well. Diners pick their preferred ingredients from the display before having them grilled and kept warm at the table using heater boxes, which makes the experience feel a little more hands-on.
SIDES
Bugis+ #03-25/26
Opening Hours: 11am – 9.30pm (Mon – Sun)
Nashville-style Chicken Burgers and Golden Waffle Fries
SIDES is the brainchild of the Sidemen, the massively popular UK YouTube collective, who set out to shake up the fried chicken scene.
The brand has now landed in Singapore at Bugis+, bringing with it a menu packed with Nashville-style burgers, juicy tenders, wings, and indulgent milkshakes.
Oh yes, don’t miss their huge range of sauces as well. They even have a secret sauce (what’s inside remains a mystery).
What We’re Here For
If you are here for the first time, start with the Ultimate Nashville Burger.
This burger features a massive chicken thigh that stays incredibly moist under a thick, golden crust. I especially enjoyed the way the melted cheese layer pairs with the cool, refreshing slaw.
If you have extra stomach space, get their Nashville-seasoned waffle fries, crispy and packed with flavourful seasoning.
Lau Wang Claypot
Bugis+ #04-13
Opening Hours: 11am – 9:45pm (Mon – Sun)
Homely Claypot Dishes and Hearty Herbal Soups
Craving something comforting? Lau Wang Claypot is best known for serving a wide range of heritage dishes that are cooked and served in classic claypots to retain their heat.
The menu features plenty of variety including ginger and spring onion meats, spicy sambal seafood, and even numbing mala delights.
You can also find nourishing herbal soups and claypot vegetables like sambal kang kong to round out your meal. Prices are pretty affordable for the portions as well.
What We’re Here For
The Sesame Oil Chicken is the signature dish that you should try (I get this every time I come).
This dish features tender chunks of chicken simmered in a thick and fragrant gravy made with ginger and sesame oil. Like a mum’s cooking.
I especially enjoyed the way the claypot keeps the sauce bubbling and hot until the very last bite. And the gravy pairs so well with a bowl of fluffy white rice.
Scrambled Egg Rice Keisuke
Bugis+ #04-01
Opening Hours: 11:30am – 9:30pm (Mon – Sun)
Fluffy Scrambled Egg Rice with Customisable Toppings
Think Keisuke only sells ramen? This particular outlet at Bugis+ focuses on a single comfort dish of creamy scrambled eggs served over fluffy Koshihikari rice.
It is also value for money, with the classic Egg Rice and a bowl of warm miso soup starting from $7.90.
Choose your rice size from small to large at no additional charge, which makes it an inexpensive, fuss-free yet satisfying lunch.
What We’re Here For
The Egg Rice, of course. I particularly enjoyed the silky, runny texture of the eggs blanketing the rice.
You can customise your bowl with toppings such as Aburi Mentaiko Cheese, Beef Sukiyaki, Cheese Curry Pork, Crab Cream Croquette, Chicken Karaage, Pork Yakiniku, Atsugiri Ham Cutlet, and Ebi Mayo.
One of the most popular options is the Buta Kakuni, which is a thick piece of braised pork belly simmered in a sweet and savoury sauce.
Xita Lao Tai Tai
Bugis+ #04-06
Opening Hours: 12pm – 3pm, 5pm – 9:30pm (Mon – Sun)
China’s Number 1 Charcoal Clay Stove BBQ Sensation
Xita Lao Tai Tai, ranked as China’s number one charcoal clay stove BBQ chain by the 2025 China Restaurant Industry Awards, is known for its signature clay stove barbecue that uses real charcoal and gives off a smoky aroma.
The clay stove can be heated higher than a normal stove, which means every cut of meat gets a stronger, more intense charred flavour.
Meats are prepared fresh each day and seasoned with over 28 unique house-made marinades crafted by the founder and his culinary team.
What We’re Here For
Top meat choices include the Pineapple Glazed Beef Rib Finger, which is marinated with real pineapple for extra tenderness and a hint of sweetness, and the Special Marinated Beef Rib Finger, which uses a traditional Korean marinade that is both sweet and savoury.
New Man Lee Bak Kut Teh
Bugis+ #01-12
Opening Hours: 11am – 9:30pm (Mon – Sun)
Malaysian-Style Herbal Bak Kut Teh and Affordable Local Delights
New Man Lee Bak Kut Teh brings a slice of Malaysian culinary tradition to the ground floor of Bugis+.
This brand is a popular choice for those who prefer the darker and more herbal style of pork rib soup over the peppery local version.
The kitchen uses a blend of traditional herbs to create a broth simmered for hours to achieve its deep, layered and earthier flavour.
You can find a huge variety of dishes here ranging from claypot Bak Kut Teh and dry versions to local staples like Nasi Lemak and Curry Noodles.
What We’re Here For
The Signature 3-Mix Bak Kut Teh is a great choice if you want to try a bit of everything.
This dish features a combination of pork ribs, soft bone, and belly brought bubbling in a claypot. The herbal soup is especially comforting, particularly on a cooler day.
You might also want to try the Dry Bak Kut Teh for a more intense and slightly spicy experience with dried chillies and okra.
Shanghai Tan Pan-Fried Buns
Bugis+ #01-14
Opening Hours: 11am – 9:30pm (Mon – Fri), 10am – 9:30pm (Sat – Sun)
Crispy Golden Pan-Fried Buns and Authentic Shanghai Flavours
Shanghai Tan brings a taste of traditional Shanghainese-style street food to the ground floor of Bugis+. Think Shanghainese-style noodles, wontons, xiao long bao and more.
What’s their number one dish? The Signature “popping juice” Pan-Fried Buns that are famous for their crisp outer texture and savoury fillings with hot soup inside.
The kitchen follows traditional recipes to ensure that every bun has a crispy base, soupy fillings and a soft, airy top. If you’re dining with friends, it’s worth ordering to share-share.
What We’re Here For
Other than the buns, we also enjoyed the Fried Rice with Crispy Pork Chop for a more substantial meal.
The pork chop is fried until beautifully golden, while the rice is tossed with egg and bacon for extra savouriness.
Yang Guo Fu Mala Tang
Bugis+ #01-16
Opening Hours: 10am – 10pm (Mon – Sun)
Customise Your Own Hearty Mala Tang with Signature Broths
Yang Guo Fu is a well-known mala tang chain with a wide selection of ingredients, ranging from leafy greens and various mushrooms to premium meats and seafood.
This “choose your own” experience allows you to build a bowl that matches your appetite, preferences, and spice tolerance.
The dining experience centres around their range of broths, each offering a different flavour profile.
Choose from the Beef Stock, spicy Tom Yum Soup, Tomato Flavour, Collagen Chicken Soup, Mala Hotpot, or the dry Mala Mix.
What We’re Here For
My favourite is the Beef Stock Mala Tang. The broth is brewed from beef bones and oxtail, then simmered for hours, resulting in a multi-layered base that pairs well with almost any ingredient you choose.
If you prefer something lighter, the tomato broth offers a tangy and gentler alternative without the intense heat.
AZUL
Bugis+ #05-01
Opening Hours: 11:30am – 10pm (Mon – Sun)
Hidden Spanish-Mexican Dining Gem at Golden Village
Did you know there is this sophisticated blue café located discreetly on the mezzanine floor within the Golden Village cinema?
The name “AZUL” translates to “blue” in Spanish, which explains the distinctive colour-themed interior that gives a cool and modern atmosphere.
If you are wondering if you need to watch a film to enter the café, AZUL is open to the public as a standalone destination so you can enjoy the chill vibes.
What We’re Here For
The menu celebrates the lively flavours of Spanish and Mexican cuisine with a variety of classic and fusion dishes.
The Quesadilla Chicken fills a toasted tortilla with chicken chilli con carne and a generous layer of melted mozzarella. Or get the Quesadilla Mushroom that features sautéed shiitake mushrooms and a hint of smoky paprika.
Every order comes with a side of sour cream, guacamole, and a pile of golden French fries.
