Parkway Parade Food Guide – 13 Food Places In Parkway Parade [2026]

If you grew up in the East like me, Parkway Parade is more than a mall, it is part of your weekend routine. It is where grocery runs turned into long lunches and post beach hunger led straight to comfort food. This Parkway Parade Food Guide is my love letter to 13 spots I return to in Marine Parade, from Tenya and its golden tendon bowls worth a 45 minute queue, to Yakiniku GO with smoke free grills, and Sanook Kitchen dishing out fragrant green curry and hearty Thai plates. Craving crispy tempura or sizzling beef? Start here, then see which table you will claim next.

Best Food Places In Parkway Parade

1. Tenya

I like to think of Tenya as Parkway Parade’s little chapter on Japan, tucked in the basement opposite Food Opera, where aunties clutch grocery bags and kids debate bubble tea flavours. I once joined the 45 minute lunch queue with notebook in hand, listening to office workers insist it was worth it. They were right.

The Premium Tendon is the star: two golden prawns, squid, kani kama, pumpkin and lotus root, glazed in a signature tare that coats each piece without turning soggy. The batter is remarkably airy, crackling softly and holding its crunch over warm rice. The Tenya Tendon is the dependable choice, with prawn, whiting and vegetables in a balanced, non greasy bowl I would happily bring my parents to after a Marine Parade errand run. If you love prawns, the Prawn Tendon delivers plump, juicy ebi with clean sweetness. In a mall humming with laksa and kopi, this feels like a crisp, comforting detour to Tokyo.

2. Yakiniku–GO

The queue at Parkway Parade moves like a well-practised dance, trays clinking, aunties discussing dinner plans, and the steady hiss of grills from Yakiniku-GO drawing everyone closer. I grew up visiting this mall after weekend grocery runs with my parents, so seeing a smoke-free yakiniku spot here feels like Marine Parade quietly stepping into a new phase. The setup is efficient and reassuringly consistent, with individual grills that let you cook at your own pace without leaving the smell of smoke clinging to your clothes.

The Yakiniku-GO Set is the star. Beef short plate, ribeye and tongue arrive neatly arranged, ready to be grilled exactly the way you like. The marbling melts into the rice, especially when dipped into the citrusy Negi Shio Tare, bright and savoury at once. For something hearty yet fuss-free, the Karubi Jyu delivers tender short plate over ginger-soy slicked rice, with kimchi cutting cleanly through the richness. If you feel like indulging, the Angus Ribeye Steak Jyu offers thick, juicy slices with a confident sear. Reliable, affordable, and genuinely enjoyable, this is why Parkway Parade’s food scene never feels dull.

3. Sanook Kitchen

At Sanook Kitchen, generosity shows in every plate. Dishes arrive brimming, steam curling into the bright lights of Parkway Parade while families shuffle shopping bags and settle in with quiet satisfaction. Having grown up stopping by Marine Parade after long afternoons at the East Coast, I still appreciate how dependable this place feels, yet it never slips into dull routine. The steady crowd at peak hour speaks to that consistency, with tables turning quickly but never feeling rushed.

The Green Curry Seafood leads the table, a velvety coconut broth layered with sweet prawns and tender squid, lifted by Thai basil and green chillies. The heat builds gradually, warming rather than overwhelming, and the aroma lingers between spoonfuls. Tom Yum Soup arrives clear and fragrant, bright with lemongrass and a clean, tangy edge that cuts through the cool mall air. Even the straightforward Basil Chicken, wok-tossed until lightly crisp at the edges, delivers savoury depth and perfume in every bite. It remains a reassuring choice for Thai comfort in the East.

4. Godmama

The aroma of lemongrass and coconut reaches you before you spot the neat row of tables at Godmama in Parkway Parade. Tucked among the mall’s familiar chains in Marine Parade, it feels like a small pocket of heritage cooking, where families and office workers queue patiently during the weekend rush. The air carries the sweetness of coconut milk and the sharp lift of tamarind, and plates emerge from the kitchen in a steady rhythm that speaks of experience and care.

The Babi Assam is the dish I would order without hesitation. Pork belly is stewed until meltingly soft, soaking up a tangy tamarind gravy that is bright but never harsh, with tofu catching every drop. The sour and spice are carefully balanced, the sort of harmony older Peranakan cooks prize. The Beef Rendang follows close behind, slow braised beef shin infused with kaffir lime leaf and coconut until it yields gently to the fork. Even the subtler Ikan Gerang Assam, with pan seared barramundi and okra, arrives tasting freshly prepared and thoughtfully spiced. It is polished cooking that still honours tradition.

5. TANYU 探魚

Rainy evenings at Parkway Parade have quietly become my excuse to gather my parents and casually suggest grilled fish for dinner. At TANYU, the dinner crowd hums with families and East Coast regulars. The star, Grilled Fish with Fresh Green Pepper, arrives bubbling in a metal tray, the broth shimmering with green chillies. Beneath the surface, sea bass lies tender and lightly charred, releasing a fragrant, tongue tingling heat. It is mala, but bright and clean rather than muddy, and we always order extra rice to soak up every spoonful.

If my mum wants something gentler, the Grilled Fish with Sauerkraut offers a beautifully balanced tang. Fermented mustard greens seep into the flaky flesh, lifting its natural sweetness without overpowering it. For spice lovers, the Chongqing Grilled Fish with Beancurd delivers drama. Silky tofu hides beneath a blizzard of dried chillies, fiery and aromatic, made for sharing. In a mall filled with familiar chains, this spot brings a confident taste of Sichuan to Marine Parade.

6. Saboten Express

The dinner crowd at Parkway Parade moves like clockwork, shopping bags in one hand and buzzers in the other. Tucked inside the mini food hall, Saboten Express feels like a calm, golden-fried refuge. I came with my parents after errands, an old habit from my Pasir Ris days, and the queue was steady but swift. It is a reassuring sight amid Marine Parade’s family-heavy rush, where turnover is brisk and standards need to hold.

The Saboten Special Set is the star, bringing together tenderloin, loin katsu and ebi fry cloaked in crisp, airy panko that crackles before giving way to juicy, blush-pink pork. The Koshihikari rice arrives pearly and slightly sticky, ideal with the free-flow cabbage and miso soup that balance the richness. For extra indulgence, the Cheese Tenderloin Katsu Set pulls into molten ribbons with each bite, rich yet never greasy. Even the quieter Chicken Katsu Curry comforts with aromatic, gently spiced gravy and a reliably crunchy cutlet. That consistency, even at peak hour, keeps this spot firmly in rotation.

7. VENCHI Singapore

My friend grabbed my arm outside FairPrice and whispered, “Trust me, dessert first.” That is how I found myself queuing at Venchi in Parkway Parade**, watching aunties compare shopping bags while kids pressed their noses to the glass display. The Cuor Di Cacao Gelato is the star, dark and glossy, so intensely chocolatey it tastes as though it was shaved straight from a fine bar. Slow-churned and velvety, it delivers bold bittersweet depth without tipping into jelak. I took a spoonful and paused. It is rich, concentrated, and unapologetically cocoa-forward.

The Pistachio Gelato runs a close second, nutty and dense, fragrant with real pistachio oils rather than artificial sweetness. Even the quieter Hazelnut Gelato carries a rounded, toasty warmth that lingers softly on the palate. Growing up in the East, this mall was our post-dinner strolling ground, and finding gelato this faithful to its Italian roots among laksa stalls and sushi counters feels quietly indulgent. Comfort first, then a creamy escape between errands.

8. Fish Mart SAKURAYA

Insider tip: head straight to the chilled display and pick your sashimi before you even glance at the hot food menu.

At Fish Mart SAKURAYA in Parkway Parade, it feels like stepping into a compact Japanese market in the middle of Marine Parade’s weekend bustle. I grew up dropping by this mall after evenings at East Coast Park, and the steady queue here has been a constant for as long as I can remember. The Fresh Sashimi Selection is the draw, glossy salmon belly and sweet scallops sliced almost translucent, carrying that clean ocean scent that signals careful handling and freshness. Dip each piece lightly into soy sauce and it turns silky and cool, with a gentle briny finish that lingers.

For something heartier, the Salmon Kabuto Yaki arrives with crackling, salt-crisped skin and moist, flaky flesh nestled between delicate bones, smoky and straightforward in flavour. If comfort is what you are after, the Tempura Soba delivers, its light batter shattering over springy noodles in a fragrant broth. In a family-filled mall like Parkway Parade, this is the sort of dependable Japanese table that rewards repeat visits.

9. Cedele Bakery Kitchen

Amid the basement bustle of Parkway Parade, where shopping bags rustle and families debate dinner plans, I always find myself drifting towards the comforting scent of freshly baked bread at Cedele. The Carrot Walnut Cake is the star. Thick, moist layers are hugged by tangy cream cheese frosting and studded with crunchy walnuts that give each forkful a gentle bite. It is sweet but never cloying, the sort of slice my parents and I happily share after a long afternoon of errands in Marine Parade.

For something savoury, the Signature Rosemary Chicken Sandwich delivers juicy shredded chicken perfumed with herbs, tucked into soft yet crisp bakery bread with a swipe of cranberry for brightness. It is a reliable lunch that satisfies without feeling heavy. If you are hungrier, the Grass Fed Beef Burger offers a clean, robust beef flavour, the patty still faintly pink at the centre, with onion marmalade tying everything together. In a mall better known for quick hawker fixes, this cosy spot offers a wholesome reset and steady consistency that keeps regulars returning.

10. Zhang Liang Mala Tang 张亮麻辣烫

By 6pm, the queue at Zhang Liang Mala Tang snakes past the vegetable chiller, baskets clinking as shoppers debate spice levels like it is a family meeting. I always hover a little too long at the 60-ingredient spread. It reminds me of weekend food hunts with my parents, each of us championing different picks. The self-serve format keeps things lively, but the broths are serious business, simmered long enough for depth and consistency even during the dinner rush at Parkway Parade.

The Spicy Mala Tang Bowl is the star, a numbing beef bone broth blooming with Sichuan peppercorns, coating slippery glass noodles, crunchy enoki and tender fish slices. It is fiery but balanced, never overly salty. With my mum, we share the Tomato Soup Mala Tang, tangy and gently sweet, with xiao bai cai soaking up the beefy richness. For quieter cravings, the Mushroom Soup Mala Tang offers earthy depth and silky tofu. Portions are reliable, seating is clean, and the flavours deliver steady, customisable comfort every time.

11. Dian Xiao Er 店小二

At Dian Xiao Er, I once detoured through Parkway Parade just to browse, but somehow ended up queuing here instead. The warm herbal aroma drifting from Herbal Roast Duck Rice is impossible to ignore. Cherry Valley duck is roasted daily, its skin lacquered and crisp while the meat stays juicy and gently perfumed with Chinese herbs. When I brought my parents, who are my toughest roast duck critics, they nodded in approval. The glossy herbal sauce seeps into fluffy rice, delivering comfort without tipping into sweetness.

The Marmite Chicken Thigh offers a playful contrast, with sticky caramelised edges and a sweet savoury depth that keeps chopsticks hovering for another bite. For something lighter, the Signature Wheatgrass Tofu with Seafood arrives silky and fresh, punctuated by delicate briny pops. Even during the dinner rush, the queue moves efficiently and plates land generous and consistent. In a mall filled with quick meals, this is a place that turns an ordinary Marine Parade errand into a relaxed, family style feast.

12. Sushi Express

By dinnertime, Parkway Parade hums with families drifting in from Marine Parade flats and students still in uniform, and Sushi Express is ringed with a steady queue. This kaiten-style spot does affordable Japanese plates that suit the mall’s easygoing rhythm. The rice is neatly seasoned with balanced vinegar, the fish sliced to sensible thickness, and the aburi items torched just enough to release a smoky aroma without turning cloying. With brisk turnover and steady hands behind the counter, plates stay fresh even at peak hour. It is the sort of place Easties rely on after errands or tuition, dependable, fuss-free, and fairly priced.

The Salmon Aburi Sushi arrives lightly torched till the surface glistens, buttery and faintly smoky over gently vinegared rice, and it is the plate most often stacked on neighbouring tables. Tamago Sushi offers a fluffy, slightly sweet omelette with clean edges and a well-judged rice ratio, a comforting choice across generations. For something warm, the Chawanmushi is silky and savoury, smooth without a trace of wateriness. Together, they make this a reassuring constant amid Parkway’s bustle.

13. Fun Toast 芳土司

There is something oddly comforting about slipping into a mall café when the afternoon slump hits, especially in Marine Parade where families drift in from East Coast Park and aunties compare shopping bags over kopi. At Fun Toast in Parkway Parade, the Yuan Yang Soft Bun Toast is my star. It arrives fluffy and gently crisped, fragrant with a yin and yang swirl of coffee and tea spread. When I pull it apart, steam escapes and the caramelised edges carry the scent of an old-school kopitiam morning. It feels nostalgic yet never heavy.

The Soya Sauce Chicken comes glossy and tender, braised until the meat yields easily, its savoury sweet depth soaking into the rice. It suits the office crowd who want a quick, reliable lunch. I usually finish with the Kaya Butter Toast Set, thick slabs of cold butter melting into charcoal grilled bread, paired with robust kopi roasted the traditional way since 1941. Growing up in Pasir Ris, breakfasts like this anchored my weekends. Simple, hearty, familiar. In a mall of polished chains, this pocket of heritage still draws a steady, loyal crowd.
