Shiok Singapore Kitchen

eDNA a month ago

I was excited to find a Singaporean restaurant on the Peninsula, especially with Killiney Kopitam's reopening postponed for so long. I stopped by Shiok for brunch on a Saturday, and unfortunately it was underwhelming. The brunch menu is a lot more limited than the regular menu, with options limited to kaya toast with soft-boiled eggs and a few entrees. Some dishes include a choice of complimentary drink but some did not; I think this should be consistent across all options (or offer an add-on at a small charge). They only gave us brunch menus, so if the expanded regular menu options is available, the servers should mention this. * Beef rendang: The flavors of the curry and the very tender slow-cooked beef was very delicious and memorable, but the rest of the plate was not. It came on a large rectangular plate with a lot of negative space: a small pile of the beef rendang in the corner, a small pile of roasted peanuts, a few slices of cucumber cut into fancy shapes, a deep-fried battered hard-boiled egg, a little scoop of sauce, and a huge serving of rice. Besides the beef rendang and the egg, the rest of the plate was lackluster and I feel like they could easily incorporate other

Wanted to support this restaurant as I had good experiences at its former location. I expected it to be takeout only, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it is now open for seated dining. Will be back to enjoy some Singaporean favorites!

“Shiok” means delicious and deeply satisfying in Singaporean slang — and Shiok! Singapore Kitchen truly lives up to its name. This beloved Menlo Park restaurant has finally reopened in a beautiful new location on Oak Grove Avenue, close to the downtown Menlo Park post office. Owner Dennis Lim has done a fantastic job decorating the restaurant with a warm tropical motif. The new space is bright, spacious, comfortable, and has plenty of convenient parking. The menu is classic Singaporean and Malaysian comfort food. We had the Family Meal for 4, which came with a generous selection of dishes and plenty of food to share. Our meal included roti prata, sambal string beans, Singapore chili prawns, Singapore butter cereal prawns, chicken rice, and fresh, steaming-hot fried chicken wings. Everything came out hot, flavorful, and delicious. The Hainanese chicken rice was superb — simple, fragrant, and very comforting. The fried chicken wings were fresh, crispy, and piping hot. The roti platter was a great way to start the meal, and the prawns and vegetables were full of authentic Southeast Asian flavor. I enjoyed the Singarpore coffee Kopi with condensed milk. Shiok! is also starting Singapor

For me, this place has the most authentic Singaporean cuisine in the Bay Area. Caringly prepared and reasonably priced. I look forward to eating there regularly.

Shiok is the best Singaporean food our family has found outside of Singapore, and we are thrilled they are back in Menlo Park. Our family is Singaporean, and anyone who knows Singaporeans knows that food is practically religion. We are passionate foodies, and Shiok has been our family’s go-to spot for authentic Singaporean food for more than a decade. This is a beloved family-run restaurant, and you can feel that warmth in both the food and the service. As you’re savoring a bowl of laksa, a plate of chicken rice, or a roti prata starter, it’s common for a family member to stop by, say hi, and see how you’re doing. That personal touch is part of what makes Shiok so special. A couple of years ago, we were heartbroken when Shiok lost its longtime Menlo Park location after the building was sold. They managed to continue operating through a ghost kitchen in Redwood City, and we were so grateful to still be able to order our favorite dishes. Now that they have relocated back to Menlo Park, we could not be happier. If you love Asian food — especially Singaporean food — you have to try Shiok. Our family favorites include the laksa, Hainanese chicken rice, roti prata, char kway teow, sa
