Lau Pa Sat Reviews

About Lau Pa Sat
Lau Pa Sat is one of Singapore's most recognisable food landmarks, a Victorian-era cast-iron market building on Raffles Quay that now operates as a full hawker centre and food court in the heart of the CBD. Rated 4.4 stars across 38,764 Google reviews, it is by far the most-reviewed destination on this list and one of the most-reviewed food venues in Singapore. The satay offering at Lau Pa Sat is anchored by the famous Boon Tat Street Satay Street that operates every evening directly outside the building. Inside and around the venue, multiple satay stalls serve chicken, beef, mutton, and pork skewers. The scale and atmosphere, with dozens of charcoal grills and hundreds of diners, creates an experience that is as much about the setting as the food. An essential destination for first-time visitors to Singapore and a reliable standby for CBD workers.

"Came here on a Saturday evening with out-of-town family and the Satay Street experience was brilliant. The atmosphere with all the charcoal grills going at once is something you cannot replicate anywhere else. The satay itself was excellent and priced very fairly."
