The best food at Marina Square ranges from Michelin-pedigree Fujian cooking at PUTIEN and Peking duck at Kai Garden to Haidilao hotpot, wagyu BBQ at Tenkaichi and a strong cluster of MUIS halal-certified restaurants such as Seoul Garden, Tang Tea House, Sofra and Yi Zun Noodle. Most restaurants sit on levels 2 and 3, with The Dining Edition wing on level 2 holding buffets, noodles and quick meals; budget eats like Hong Kong Zhai Dim Sum and Kenny Rogers Roasters sit alongside special-occasion Cantonese dining. The mall at 6 Raffles Boulevard is linked to Esplanade MRT and is scheduled to close on 31 March 2027 for a four-year redevelopment and is expected to reopen around 2031, so check an outlet is still trading before making a trip.

Your questions answered
What are the best restaurants at Marina Square?
Popular picks include PUTIEN for Fujian food, Kai Garden for Peking duck and dim sum, Haidilao Hot Pot, Tenkaichi Japanese BBQ for wagyu, Suki-Ya for sukiyaki buffet and Seoul Garden for halal Korean BBQ. Hong Kong Zhai Dim Sum and Hoe Nam Signatures cover cheaper local and Hong Kong-style meals.
Is Marina Square closing?
Yes. Singapore Land Group announced in September 2026 that Marina Square will close on 31 March 2027 for a redevelopment expected to take about four years, with completion targeted around 2031. Restaurants are trading as usual until then, but individual outlets may leave earlier, so check before you go.
Which restaurants at Marina Square are halal?
MUIS's halal directory lists Seoul Garden, Tang Tea House, Sofra Turkish Cafe & Restaurant, Yi Zun Noodle, Kenny Rogers Roasters, MAKAN MAKAN, Beyond Pancakes and Nasty Cookie at Marina Square, along with Encik Tan, Popeyes, Burger King, McDonald's and Pizza Hut. Certificates can change, so check the certificate displayed at the outlet.
How much does a meal at Marina Square cost?
Quick meals at fast-food outlets, Hong Kong Zhai Dim Sum (nett prices, no service charge) or Yi Zun Noodle are the cheapest. Buffets such as Tenkaichi and Suki-Ya sit in the mid range, while Kai Garden and Haidilao are the pricier sit-down options.
What are Marina Square restaurant opening hours?
Hours vary by outlet. Kai Garden serves lunch from 11am or 11:30am and dinner from 6pm to 11pm, Suki-Ya runs daily from 11:30am to 10pm, Yi Zun Noodle and Kenny Rogers Roasters open 11am to 10pm, and Tang Tea House opens from 9am on weekdays. Most outlets close by around 10pm.
Which MRT station is nearest to Marina Square, and do I need to book?
Esplanade MRT on the Circle Line is linked to the mall, and Promenade and City Hall are within walking distance. Most casual outlets take walk-ins, but Kai Garden, Haidilao, Dian Xiao Er and the buffets get busy on weekends and before Esplanade shows, so reserve ahead where the outlet offers bookings.
