The restaurant offers scenic views, situated as it is in a park by the sea.
During my visit, the restaurant was crowded, though i must say they have a pretty decent system in place to usher in diners.
Surprisingly the queue moved fast and before long we were ushered to a seat by the window.
Order taking was quick and food was served in double quick time.
The food was only OK in my opinion although I must admit that the Vegetables in garlic sauce were good to eat and cooked well too.
I must certainly give credit to the staff and service crew who were quick and willing to serve.
Overall it was a Fast into the Restaurant and Fast out of the restaurant as well. Pricing seemed really reasonable.

I would say that the restaurant was quite nice, there were a lot of choice of foods, desserts as well as drinks. I've heard from my friends that their chocolate ice cream was delicious so went to have a treat. It tastes fabulous, it's a recommend from me for people who have sweet tooth. Their preparing of food speed is also very fast. But if you would like to visit this restaurant, do be alarmed that you might have to wait a short while at the queue. But overall is a very great restaurant a must-go if you ever went to waterfront.

They gave us the wrong fish but they remedied it immediately after we raised it up. The red Tom yum was a little too sweet for my liking but the clear Tom yum soup is great! The small version of the Tom yum is large enough don’t need to order the large version. The satay was really great. Hotpot beef too hard for my liking. Btw view here was amazing 🤩

Came on a weekday evening, able to get a table with little fuss. Service is good. Service staff are attentive and with good attitude too. Please is generally clean plus not stuffy.
Food wise is kinda hit and miss. We ordered Fried Rice with tom yum chilli, sambal stingray, vegetables fried with garlic and seafood hot plate toufu with ice cream waffle as desert.
The Fried Rice with Tom Yum Chill tastes ok, the taste is kinda special though.
Vegetable is well cooked and the garlic sauce is tasty. But the vegetables have leaves that are clearly eaten by bugs or caterpillars and i felt those should be removed.
Hot Plate Toufu is pretty bad. No doubt the portion is pretty big for small, but it wasn't sizzling when it came as expected from hot plate dishes, the sauce is too blend and watery.
BBQ stingray with sambal is the best dish of the night. portion is good for small size. Just enough for 2 pax. tastes good too.
Waffle with ice cream is soso. At $4 don't expect it to be as good as those one will find in those ice cream shops.
Price wise it's acceptable for the quantity though the quality could be improved.
One last thing to note is that there is no toilet at the restaurant, so please go to the toilet located before the jetty before going to the restaurant. There's parking there also as it's located in a park.

Super value for money, delicious, Halal-certified zichar and BBQ fare! Our family loves dining here at Rasa Istimewa, especially when it boasts such a beautiful view as well. Their BBQ stingray is delicious and the waffles are a big hit with the kids. Hot plate tofu is also a very popular dish there!

It has a very good atmosphere and view outside. The food is served well and are delicious. Their flavours are well balanced. They know how to cook their seafood right. Especially their stingray, it wasn't 'hot' like many other places, this sambal stingray had flavours you could taste and had no fishy smell of inexperienced cooks. Their fried seabass was fresh too and I enjoyed their thai chilli sauce which was refreshing and not cloying. Their side dishes are seasoned wonderfully too and their satay sauce with their satay was great!
The only 'downside' to have this beautiful view and atmosphere is that you need to travel all the way in. Don't worry, you'll feel like you know one of the best kept restaurant secrets once you find out where this place is. It's worth the travel to me.

The staff service is good. The mocktail is nice. Love the tofu which is crispy on the outside and so soft inside that it melts in the mouth. Stringay is good as well. For satay, i prefer mutton than chicken. As for the sambal kang kong, the taste is not to my liking. Overall, this is definitely a nice place to dine and can have a scenery walk after dinner. Price is reasonable.

Fantastic dinner with view.
1) Hotpot tofu was good
2) Sotong with Sambal was good
3) Hotpot with beef was too hard
Come @around 6 to get seated for sunset view

First time went there. Food was really tasty and awesome. Chilli crab was marvelous, sweet and sour prawn, awesome! Recommended to go there allzz..but i hope the price would be more reasonable so that more people will come there often. Reason: ive order fried rice, sweet n sour prawn,only 1 piece chilli crab,small kangkong and khailan, small bbq stingray, small salted egg sotong and 15 stick satay plus 4 drinks cost me $170. Hmm..it just for 3 pax. I would say it costly. So allz..go n try and judge yourself with the food n the price.

I decided to hold a dinner there to celebrate my mother's birthday. We ordered Set Menu 4 (caters for 10 pax at $208+) which we chose:
- 3-Flavoured Fish
- Cereal Prawn
- Golden Pipa Sauce Chicken
- Fried Baby Squid
- Hotplate Seafood Fried Tofu
- Sambal Kangkong
- Seafood Fried Rice
- Tom Yum Soup
Feedbacks given were that the Cereal Prawn and Tom Yum Soup tasted somewhat less than average. Tom Yum severely lack of Tom Yum taste. The rest of the dishes were on average taste.
On the other hand, I personally liked the Snow Mountain Mango Tango although I find it slightly too sweet.
Total bill was $308.
It is located along the jetty. After eating you definitely have to take a chill and enjoy the cool breeze.
In conclusion, I would say the outlet's counterpart at Choa Chu Kang park offers better quality in their dishes. I would only recommend coming here if you're looking for a casual dine on the ala carte menu.

Food ok but the place is very cramped esp when u hv to share a split tables with another customers. Very uncomfortable when u need to excuse from the table. Table too small if u order set dinner for 4.
