Bugis Street Brasserie

This is the place to visit when you are carving for Chinese food. Great in taste and customer oriented. Quick service and complimentary roasted peanuts.

Must visit and enjoy all any dish from their large variety of food/dishes on Thier menu.

Loved it. Just opposite to Holiday inn Kensington forum and nearest tube station- Gloucester Road.

As someone who is of Singaporean heritage, this place is not bad. It definitely is a good intro for those who are going to Singapore or want a taste of Singapore. however, if you're from the country, it may not be that impressive. Their flavors for the most part were right, portions are small, and prices are high which contrasts for its norm, since this is street food in Singapore which would cost 3-6$ a plate. Would recommend a more Peranakan decor to make this place feel like Bugis in Singapore.

Hainanese chicken rice- good chicken, soup was way too salty that it was nota drinkable at all. Rice was right flavor but wrong texture. Maybe the certain rice can't be found in UK.

Seafood Chow fun- I was actually impressed with the chow fun part that charred part and the oily noodles that require high heat and high oil to make it that texture. this dish was good. Would highly recommend it.

Chinese leaf- just dressed up Napa cabbage but well done.

Salt and pepper shrimp were also not bad

The hakkien mee was good but was a little sweeter than what I remembered from Singapore.

Overall an ok place- If you've not had Singapore food before this is a good pricy intro to what's ahead.

Extremely tasty food, great service and wonderful place. What a wonderful place.
Love it!

This was the first restaurant me and my partner went to in London. And it was bomb!!

The ambience was great! The vibe was chill and laid-back. We came in in tennis shoes and casual wear and we were still able to be seated. The people working there were so nice, and gave us recommendations for what to order.

We ordered the salt and pepper prawns an appetizer (so tasty, lots of 5 spice), dim sum for an entrée (6 pieces in total) with a side of sliced beef fried noodle (sooo tender). It was delicious! I would definitely get it again!

Was in need of a dinner location in Kensington on a weekend. Located inside The Bailey's Hotel across from the Gloucester Road Tube Station. They did not need reservations. We had to walk thru the hotel and into the bar to the restaurant. We were seated right away. As expected, prices are high due to being in a hotel. We ordered the Salt And Pepper Calamari, Veggies, Stir Fry Dish, and a meat dish. All dishes were cooked really well just smaller portions than I am used to, being from America. Veggies were good that we ordered another one. Service wasn't too bad.

We were so happy to find a Singaporean inspired restaurant with many dishes posted outside the restaurant. Happily walked in...then
We were seated immediately with the menus.
Ambiance is quite nice but no character to make you feel like you are in Singapore or any part of Asia.
We waited about 20 minutes until a lady approached to ask if we were ready to order. During these 20 minutes, many other servers walked by but gave no eye contact.
The food came out fast and not piping hot.
We ordered
Szechuan Shrimps, my favorite dish I ate once a week when I lived in Singapore: it was not the authentic Szechuan dish, lacking dry red chili peppers.
Sizzling beef with black bean sauce: the server arrived at the table, put the beef from a plate to the supposedly sizzling plate but it was not sizzling.
Banana fritters with ice cream: the only thing good was the ice cream, banana fritters were mushy and tasteless.
We waited another 15 minutes to be able to flag someone asking for the bill and another 10 minutes for the bill to arrive.
About $100 dinner wasted, which we wouldn't mind the wait nor the spending if the food was good.

I always find time for a meal here when I am in London. I love this place. I have tried to recreate their Laksa formula, but I have not succeeded. I will sometimes end up asking for a meal-size portion and savor every spoonful. The service an always good and kind to an older solo traveler. The ambiance is as it should be.

Treat yourself to an authentic taste of Singapore for very little money. I recommend it highly.

This was our first meal in London.

The service was pretty good. The place is clean as well. It was decently packed and our food came out very quickly.

We ordered fried rice and beef noodles and both were delicious!

The food is 5 star worthy, but the service was slow and they actually brought the wrong dish the first time.

My wife and I were looking for some Asian food but didn't want your typical options. Bugis fit that perfectly and there were some fantastic options on the menu - we got some serious food envy as we saw plates go past us ordered from people who clearly had eaten here before.

I got the mee goreng which was noodles with chicken, beef, veggies and a really unique spice to them. Definitely a true Singaporean dish. I would get it again. The portion wasn't huge but it was filling enough. I would honestly go back just for that option.
My wife got nasilamek which was chicken, peanuts, and rice. There was only a very slight yellow curry sauce to it and some spicy sauce as well which was great but not enough. Also wasn't that much chicken. Wouldn't recommend this dish

Hope to return

The place to go when you are staying at South Kensington and craving for Asian food. It's legit Singaporean here. Food is authentic, tasty and simple. If I'm not visiting, I will eat here everyday and will snob British food. I had the laksa (it's my favourite Southeast Asian noodle soup) and salt & pepper calamari. Both were so good and delicious.

Now I'm planning to have my last London meal here and have Hainanese chicken and rice.

Found this restaurant while hunting for Singapore food in London on Yelp. This restaurant is at the corner of the Millennium and Copthorne hotel and about 5 minutes walk from Gloucester Station. The restaurant is fairly spacious and seats about 50 persons. In the restaurant, there are large pictures of historic Bugis Street hawker stalls and there were a number of round marble-topped ('kopitiam') tables which gave the restaurant a feeling of authenticity.

I ordered the Singapore laksa, chicken rice and grass jelly drink. The laksa was particularly wonderful - the noodles were the correct 'thick vermicelli' noodle from Singapore, there was the appropriate sliced fish cake, dried tofu and shrimp and the gravy had the right quantity of coconut milk and spice. It was as authentic a Nonya/Katong Laksa as I have tasted outside of Singapore. The chicken rice was not bad - chicken was tender, rice was flavorful and soup tasted authentic but the version at C&R in London's Chinatown is better at a lower price. Finally, the grass jelly drink was beautiful - 1 sip and I was transported back to when I was drinking this drink in a Singapore hawker center when I was growing up.

All in all - well worth a visit, especially for the Singapore Laksa!
