Sentosa in Southwark - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Excellent food. Authentic and high quality. Very tasty and nice presentation. Staff is a bit cold but go for the food. Great vegan options on the fried rice, noodles and soup.

Best and most authentic char kwey teow in London!

Food was okay, portion sizes were a bit small with what we ordered (hainan chicken and Nasi lemak). We tried other Singapore / Malaysian restaurants before and this one felt a little overpriced for what it served though the food was okay. The waiters were really friendly but one of them kept opening bottles of sparkling water even though we didn’t ask for it - and we were charged £20 for three bottles in the end (we felt bad so didn’t ask them to take it off). Overall the food was ok and the staff were really friendly but i don’t think I would go there again.

I recently visited Sentosa and decided to try the Sentosa Curry Laksa, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The soup was overly rich and felt excessively greasy, likely due to an overuse of coconut oil. Instead of the comforting, balanced flavors I was hoping for, the dish felt heavy and cloying. The laksa also featured a mixture of noodles, which I found to be off-putting. I prefer a more uniform texture, and the blend of different noodles disrupted the overall experience for me. Additionally, the dish included an egg cooked in the Singaporean style, but sadly, it had an unpleasant taste, almost as if it had been fried in old oil, leaving a stale, greasy aftertaste. Overall, I was left underwhelmed by the dish. The flavors were poorly balanced, and the execution seemed lacking, particularly with the oiliness of the soup and the off-tasting egg. I wouldn’t recommend this version of laksa and would encourage others to explore other places for a more authentic and enjoyable laksa experience.

Best service on Bermondsey Street

Firstly, I didn't like where we were seated. The place we were seated was awkward, cramp and physically uncomfortable. The service was mixed. We were seated by a female, not so friendly. She also took our order. The female and male who served our food were both friendly. We were served by different people because their was a huge gap between the serving of our food. The male that cleared our plates wad also friendly. It took ages to get the bill once asked for. The wait seemed endless. The food was ok. I had what ultimately was a squid curry with rice. In addition, a large fried chicken thigh and fried egg. The plate was garnished with 3 slices of cucumber. I liked all the food on my plate but wouldn't necessarily eat them all together ever again. My food was served lukewarm. I'm a slow eater, so it wasn't long before my food was cold. I wouldn't go again but recommend that others try it for themselves. The positive was that I had a Mojito with my meal and it was really good. Sometimes, Mojitos can be hit or miss. Whoever made mine wasn't stingy with the alcohol.

Food was superb, lady who served us with the New York top provided A1 service, added to my list of go to restaurants

Wow. I have my new favourite. For anyone who has experienced a food court in Singapore/ Kuala Lumpur, this is about as authentic as it gets. A vibrant cafe buzz with unbelievable food. The Curry Laksa was superb. I’ll be back for the crab, the Singapore noodles - and the Nasi Goreng. Maybe over a couple of visits 🫃

Excellent and friendly service from seating right through to paying the bill — no fuss and very efficient. Food was great and as authentic as Singaporean and Malaysian cuisine can get. On a fine summer day out, I tried the Hainan rice with chicken and was very pleased and satisfied. Will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu.

Best Singaporean chicken rice I’ve had in London. Restaurant atmosphere was really good as well.

Wow , wow, and wow again.. These guys can cook folks. Amazing cuisine , so well presented and no delay. Each bite was a taste explosion in my mouth. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Quelle surprise ! J'y suis allé par hasard, sans avoir lu aucun avis, et la, vraiment, un excellent diner. Nous avons Commandé : 1/ Sentosa curry laksa with prawns, chicken, tofu, fish ball & Egg. 2/ Steamed seabass with garlic & minced ginger 3/ Steamed okra with crispy onion & soy sauce 4/ Eggs fired rice 5/ crispy fresh beans & tofu. Le 1/ 2/ 3/ et 4/ étaient excélent. En revanche j'ai moyennement aimé le 5/ mais c'est juste une question de goût car c'était parfaitement cuisiné. Le service était très bien, le personnel très gentil et serviable. Le cadre est sympa bien que le restaurant soit petit. C'est un peu cher, mais vraiment aucun regret, c'est un restaurant ou il fait bon diner. Je recommande vivement.

After eating bland pub food, this was a flavorful improvement. It is spicy, but we love spice. So much flavor in every dish. By far our favorite meal in London after eating all over. If you enjoy spice, I would highly recommend. Tried the crunchy squid, nyonya beef and Singapore noodles

Neighbor reviewing here (down South 🇸🇬) Quite good Malaysian food, overall recommended. Nasi lemak is really well done, 4.5/5 Char Kway Teow has good char /wok hei, 4/5 Rendang quite good, 4/5 Laksa is decent but doesn't blow you away, not coconuty enough. Hainanese chicken rice is lacking the top notch bouncy rubberyness of the skin.

Good food, Singapore noodles a must try.

Food was nice, roti starter was delicious but staff not very attentive, service a bit slow, restaurant was loud and busy on a Friday night so maybe that had an impact. Atmosphere was overall a bit disappointing. Didn’t feel particularly welcome and got our bill after mains rather than staying for another drink.

Food - very good. Enjoyed the vegetable laksa - nice depth of flavour. Excellent rota canai. Chicken and rice very good too. Service - good. Ice-cold water wonderfully refreshing on a hot day. Atmosphere - modern decor, air-conditioning

Food is very good! The tables by the window are nice but further in it feels a little cramped

Food was amazing, environment was very clean this is the best Malaysian food i have ever had.Their drinks are the best they have the right amount of flavour while being good 😋.If you ever crave Malaysian food you have to come here

Good beef rendang. Very tender meat, but not certain it’s the best I’ve ever had in terms of flavour. Still, it’s a nice restaurant with a great feel.

We literally wandered into Sentosa on a Sunday having passed it by several times before. Surprise! Before I get to the food I must mention the ambience & decor - not a red lantern or gold-anything in sight! It is a lovely space with warm wood, a little industrial-chic, minimal, clean and Zen. We decided to return even before we had ordered!!! The waiting staff was efficient and polite as she took our order: we started with the fried baby squid (delicious on a bed of what tasted like salted fried onions) and a quartet of steamed veggie dimsum which appeared in jewel colours and piping hot. I highly recommend the fried squid. The dimsum needed a bit more oomph as finely chopped veggies didn’t give it full flavour. I’d have liked it garlic-chilly spiced. One main was the classic nasi goreng with prawns chicken and egg - tasty, beautifully plated and my guest said it was very tasty though I thought the rice serving could’ve benefited from a little generosity. My main was a big bowl of flat rice noodles in soup with fish balls and veggies. Delicious, comforting, steaming hot and perfectly light for a summer meal. I’d have preferred a wee bit more flavour in the stock/soup but the fish balls, greens and mushrooms made it the tastiest bowl I’ve eaten in recent times. Return to Sentosa with its Singaporean (in itself a happy blend of Indonesian, Chinese, Indian….) delights? A resounding yes!

Just been to this restaurant with my wife, our son and his pet dog. We ordered a variety of traditional dishes and were very impressed with the quality of food. We were also very happy with their friendly and helpful staff, the restaurant ambience and atmosphere. Highly recommend this place.

Love this place, cozy and tasty food, especially the roti cati, that’s the best roti canai I ever had!

Delicious, spicy and hot. They let us have lunch 15 mins before closing for the afternoon, on a very rainy day. It was very welcome.

I try to visit every time I’m in the neighbourhood. Authentic food and great service.

Highly rude and racist place. As soon as we entered they started threatening us infront of other clients that the discretionary charge needs to be paid whether we like it or not. This is outright illegal . we are doing a police report of threatening behaviour as well as reporting it to the southwark Council for providing non safety environment to customers You wil get a notice very soon from southwark Council. Good luck in dealing with that ! We also know the Councillor of the area and we have mentioned to her.

Delicious. Really tasty Malaysian food, the curry laksa is first class! Busy, lively atmosphere and along with the friendly staff it makes it a really enjoyable and tasty dining experience.

Beef rendang js a must Super fast service Very good food Courteous staff

I’m from Malaysia and this is some of the BEST Malaysian / Singaporean food I’ve had in London 😍 I definitely recommend the hainanese chicken rice and nasi lemak - and if you are with hungry friends, order the chilli crab! The staff are lovely as well!

Attentive service and great food. Can’t really complain. Great place for a simple lunch but would love to see a bit more character to the restaurant. Perhaps it’ll show at night when the atmosphere improves.

The best Hainan chicken rice I've had since eating it in the Maxwell centre in Singapore. The staff are lovely, and there was a quiet buzz early on a Monday evening. Will definitely be coming back. I need to try the char kuay teow next!

Authentic Malaysian food and the curry laksa was a standout! Probably the best I've had in london so far!

It was a wonderful experience to eat food I have never had before - just excellent; flavoursome and satiating.

Lovely friendly service. Chilli crab and their roti was the highlight of the meal! Flavourful and tasty - could of been more spicy but still good, roti was buttery, nice and flakey! Their beef rendang and curry dishes were ok - lacking abit of flavour. Laska was abit bland and odd with 2 different type of noodles. Hainanese chicken dish had no flavour and very basic.... Overall not bad and would go again for their chilli crab and roti!

Looking for something different among Bermondsey Street's collection of pubs + Italian fare? Check out Sentosa. Favourites: Singapore noodles + nasi lemak (amazing sambal) + laksa + roti canai + teh tarik too. Authentic ingredients from the Peninsula. Prompt, polite, friendly service.

My first time trying malaysian food. I Dined here with my colleagues, everyone enjoyed the food and atmospheric was lovely. Noodles were tasty, but portion not as big as i expected. I would definitely come back to try other dishes.

We were brought here for lunch by someone who works locally. They chose a selection of starters and main dishes by discussing various options with the waitress. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. The assortment of food we had was excellent. DIfferent style dishes and a feature soup. An amazing meal.

Good vegan options! I recommend the vegetable Singapore noodles. Spicy but delicious

Everything was amazing, I had the Hainanese Chicken Rice with the corn fed chicken and it was absolutely delicious! The service was super friendly and helpful and the restaurant looks wonderful. Would love to visit again to try their Chilli Crab!

Was feeling homesick so decided to drop by Sentosa to try the Malaysian food. Safe to say my cravings were satisfied with the amazing food and generous portions. The curry laksa was absolutely to die for especially with its insane amount of toppings

Duck salad and Singapore noodles were excellent

This place really did a fantastic job in bringing authentic flavours to every dish. We were a group of 5 so managed to try 6 different dishes inc the hainan chicken, Singapore noodles, prawn laksa curry, and beef rendang. Each item was really well made, not over flavoured and had all the right ingredients. The one thing I would mark them down for is the portion sizes. But otherwise, highly recommended!

This Singaporean bossman and his wonderful staff met my needs and made me feel special. He sat us down swiftly but suavely no questions asked at 21:15 on a Sunday evening. He even let me park my bike out the back, protected by the humdrum of the kitchen and away from the dark night. The Chicken Ho Fun banged, but wasn’t overwhelming. The Singapore Noodles were delicate but hearty. The spring roles went in. All in all we could not have asked for more, and as such I was left with no choice but to write this warm and positive review. I would not hesitate to recommend this spot. Please give it a try.

Pretty good restaurant, fresh and tasty food that isn’t greasy

Bursting at the seams even on a Tuesdat afternoon, don't let the simple interior. The food is anything but. Take your time to savour all the various dips and sauces. The satay is a must, eithba depth of flavour absolutely not reminiscent of peanut butter. Batter in the crispy squid light and crunchy, with a tantalising sprinkling of garlic flakes. Duck salad to die for with fresh, uplifting flavours. And then there is the Sentosa Laksa. I adore laksa... My only ask would be for a 'lady laksa' as the portion is so massive but the taste so wonderful, that I could not bare leave anything behind and could not savour much more. And all of these delights served by delightful staff, attentive, smiling and so pleasant. Overall, a superb spot adding to the amazing diversity of Bermondsey Street cuisine.

The Singapore noodles were really good, but the soup was tasteless.

Ordered spring rolls and beef rendang. Spring rolls were good but the beef rendang was 90% gristle / inedible which is a shame because the sauce the meat was in was lovely. Decent atmosphere, broad offering of food and nice staff so hopefully my experience was a one off.

Service was quick and staff was friendly.. Food was sooo good, must recommend the chilli crab, sauce was to die for ..!! Satay chicken was also nice, cant fault anything with the food.. Dont need to go chinatown now to have authentic Singapore food…

Came in today with some friends for a last minute dinner option, and it was so tasty! I only tried the Beef Rendang and a bit of the seafood laksa broth but everything smelled and looked so good. So many veggie options too!

I will be dreaming about that Laksa! It was so delicious. The Singapore noodles were so tasty. The crispy vegetables and tofu were perfectly seasoned! I’m so happy I found this place

Friendly staffs! Tasty food! Would highly recommend

Amazing place! A trip back to Singapore

Chilli crab was very delicious and the only suggestion would be if the bun could be fried that would be even better

Amazing food and service, I would definitely recommend the satay chicken skewers and Nasi Lemak

Went here on recommendation as I was not disappointed , this is a much visit. But you need to book as it gets full very quick after 6pm

Amazing food, and great atmosphere! Fully packed all evening so do make a reservation. The sentosa Singapore curry laksa was more spicy than expected but beef rendang superb! Thanks

Great place for Singaporean and Malaysian food. If you like Laksa, this is your place to go! Really tasty food at a great price!

This place has a nice ambience. The lighting is inviting, giving a warm hue to everything. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Food is great too, with a great variety to choose from and the prices are quite reasonable.

Nice about food. It's really good portions, I gotta say a really nice selection of food in the menu if you like oriental food however not the best for drinks just opt for the beer, but it's a really handy and friendly place where to have a quick nice jump if you are in the area

WOW!!! I usually don’t like to leave any reviews , positive or negative, but this time I was simply just blown away, BEST ASIAN FOOD I’VE EVER EATEN!!

Great experience dining here tonight! Great tasty food, came out super fast - service was excellent, super attentive!

A really nice spot. Was quite busy but service was fast and kind. I tried the milk tea, steamed veggie dim sum and Singapore noodles. Everything was very tasty. Would love to return and try some other dishes like the chili crab or soup dishes. Yum!

On Saturday evening the service was a bit slow, although the place is not big. Food was nice, my favourite was the veggie dumpling mix, looks and taste lovely!

Very authentic restaurant with great dishes and nice people. Highly recommend.

Fantastic, authentic food. Good portions

Unfortunately it didn't hit the mark as the flavours lacked depth. It may have been an off day in the kitchen as my friends had recommended it, so I would still give it another go to try other dishes. I also had just got back from Singapore so maybe I was slightly biased. Between the two of us, we shared the calamari (too much batter and overcooked), laksa (the broth had good flavour and there was a generous amount of seafood but it lacked complexity as a laksa should) and the char kway teow (again it was quite bland). The service was fast and polite.

Great food. Every dish packed with authentic flavours. The chilli crab was an experience! Never tried anything like it before. The laksa soups were also very good ! Can’t wait to come back to try some of the other specials.

Great little place with good vibe and lovely food. Friendly and efficient staff. Definitely will come back to try more of their menu.

Great place for quick dinner. I like their veggie laksa

The food was so nice. The roti is a must for appetizers. For main had the lamb shank, and it was perfect. Will definitely come back again.

The food is beautifully presented and very tasty, the service is friendly and efficient. It was a good experience.

Very lovely authentic Singaporean and Malaysian food and efficient delivery. Laksa, hainan chicken rice (corn-fed chicken we chose) are must-try. Good value for money.

Just an amazing show of Singaporean delights in Bermondsey. This is confidently the best Curry Laksa I have tried outside of Asia. Creamy, substantial and, with perfectly cooked seafood. Yes, it’s a little expensive but you get what you pay for! Serving size is more than enough and make sure to try the Roti Canai!

Wow!! 10/10. this curry laksa and crispy prata are the best in london, maybe even Singapore! The laksa is flavorful, has lots of veggies/ seafood/ noodles. Service is friendly and quick. Highly recommend

New place on Bermondsey Street. I had the Nasi Lamek and my parents had the Singapore noodles and we all thought the food was absolutely great 👌🏻. Service was fantastic too - will be back!

Absolutely fantastic place, shame I didn't take more photos as the food as they were good size portions, well presented and very tasty. However it is very popular and quite small so you feel quite packed in and there is only one toilet. The staff are very friendly and working incredibly hard.

Absolutely delicious! Everything we ordered was very tasty. Big portions and very nicely presented. Do not miss the Roti!!!

Narrowly missed having an allergic reaction at this place. I am a vegetarian and have always been one. My partner is not. I am also allergic to seafood. I ordered the vegetarian Nasi Goreng, while my partner ordered a regular Nasi Goreng without prawns but with chicken. I'd ordered a coke while the partner ordered a whiskey. One of the dishes came out first. The server said it was the veggie Nasi Goreng and placed it on my side of the table. I started to eat while we waited for my partners meal to arrive. When it did, the server paused, looked at both dishes and said that the one in his hand might be the vegetarian one. He double checked and confirmed that the plate in front of me had chicken in it. And casually swapped the plates - no biggie right? We asked for the manager and my partner explained the situation to him. He admitted fault, apologised and asked what he could do. We refused anything as we just wanted to emphasise on how poorly this could have gone. If my partner had decided to get the prawns that day, the night could have ended very differently. And all this is besides the fact that they served meat to someone who explicitly ordered a vegetarian meal. The manager's apology involved offering us more crispy rolls (which we refused) and then offering my partner a free drink (which also we refused). He puts one on the table anyway. While the punishment does not fit the crime to begin with, the irony is that all apologies and the "peace offering" drink were directed to my partner, not me. We didn't want it, so we left it untouched. When we paid the bill, the manager said he'd removed the service charge from our bill- whatever. And then asks my partner why he hasn't had the whiskey, and tells him "to not waste it"!!! The food was subpar as is - bland, oily, greasy and lukewarm and garnished with a random dry salad. Save yourself the £15 (main course price), unless you want to put yourself through an overpriced, unappetising and potentially dangerous meal. Oh and some entitled, flippant service. Might not have been me today, but surely a lawsuit waiting to happen. And a whiskey won't make it go away.

Went for iftar as the meat here is all halal. It’s nice for an intimate catch up with a friend or couple of friends or a date. The chicken satay starter was tasty. I got the beef curry and found it a little fatty, that might be an acquired taste. My friend loved her mixed curry soup. Free parking on a Sunday side roads. Went after 6pm as the resturant just about falls in congestion.

Restaurant refused to take a reservation from a single female out to celebrate international woman’s day, unless it was during off-peak hours. Shameful!!! They’ve lost my business and I will influence all my friends to not bother supporting such backward thinking.

I got takeaway Migoreng. The food is great and big portions but too sweet.

Chilli crab must order, we requested extra spicy

Loveeed eating here!! The food is amazing. The service was really good too. The satay chicken is a must. Already planning my next visit

This is a lovely restaurant for a cosy night and a delicious meal, with plenty of flavour and freshness it’s taste like it’s straight out of grandma’s kitchen. Really enjoyed the Mama Curry Ayam that I had, would recommend!

Don’t waste your money here. Paid £80 to get terrible food poisoning as mentioned by few people here, it’s not worth it! Mostly fake reviews! It’s a Chinese takeaway masking as authentic Singaporean/Malaysian place. Very familiar with Singaporean/Malaysian cuisine so was looking forward to trying this place. Chicken satay was undercooked, soya jelly tasted awful (very cheap soya drink from supermarket audacious to charge £5), Singaporean noodle was a plate of distraction with some cucumbers and dry salad to compensate utter lack of taste, chicken curry was sour and the only thing that was edible was roti prata and but even that was terribly oily. Shameful to name this place after Sentosa islands!

Really nice staff and the food is always very decent. Been a few times and yet to have had a bad meal! Appreciate it’s on a hip street but some dishes are a tad too pricey.

Best veggie laksa AND veggie singapore fried noodles I've tried, the food was too delicious and I was sad when my bowl was finished. Woke up wanting to go back again for dinner, the flavours were sublime - staff were also really attentive and chilled out

First time in London, instead of trying all the pubs around, we're busy visiting all the sceneries and find ourselves in restaurants near our hotel after a long day walking, especially we're not really into beer drinking. The last day in London, we decided to try this Singaporean/Malaysian Sentosa restaurant because we're too lazy to take Uber to the city. Luckily the place wasn't crowded, no reservation needed, and we just walked right in. The place is actually very nice, our table was a little small but quite cozy. We'll be on the plane the next morning so we needed to order something that we could bring on the plane for lunch since we'd have breakfast at our hotel already. We love Singapore Noodles from the State so we ordered that. We didn't know the portions were quite generous, we ordered 3 dishes and we have leftover to bring to the plane. The chicken wings were so crispy and tasty, I loved them, my wife ordered some Malaysian noodles that quite excellent as my Singapore noodles. The service here is quite attentive and quick, the place is well decorated, the food is nothing to complain about. If we come to London next time, we'll try other dishes because all the ones we had were delicious and the prices are extremely reasonable. My daughter loved the leftover noodles on the plane, cold.

Delicious food, friendly staff and good prices.

Veggie dim sum selection and veggie laksa were 👌🏼

Fabulous food. Lovely menu. Really wonderful team. Very dog friendly. Great drinks. Looking forward to trying the crab next time.

As a fan of grub found in Singapore I was delighted to see some of my favourites on offer here Well worth a visit

Great meal, food was delicious and good value too - would highly recommend the Nyonya Beef Rendang, the flavours were amazing

Food was good. Experience was less so. Even before being seated, we were told that we had to vacate the table within 1h20. We felt rushed and didn’t appreciate the experience. Too bad!

I went there because I really missed Asian food, but the staff were all friendly, delicious, clean, and had a great atmosphere😊 It seemed like a restaurant that a lot of locals frequent haha. Considering it's London, the prices aren't expensive, and the portions are generous!

This new spot in Bermondsey is buzzing with atmosphere and authentic Singaporean grub. Very flavourful and delicious food, set in a space with a relaxed vibe, it is a great addition to the area, and very encouraging to see it packed with happy patrons enjoying themselves. The chicken skewers, beef rendang curry, roti and potato soup were stand out dishes for us, spicy but very good! Also, the value point was very good, considering we are in London. Keep up the great work Sentosa, see you again soon.

Been here twice and loved the food both times. The fish ball soup is an absolute winner!

I don’t often write reviews unless I’m complaining (haha), but I had to make an exception here. The food was absolutely brilliant. The flavours, the portions sizes, the freshness, amongst other things, were all incredible. One of the only restaurants I’ve bothered to review recently because I was so impressed. The rendang was delicious and the roti was best I’ve ever had. Thank you!

Really enjoyed our meal here. The starters I felt were more interesting and tasty than the mains. The veggie mains were nice but nothing special that I don’t already throw together at home ie: seasoned rice & stir fry veg. The chicken satay skewers were good; as was the calamari. The potato and tomato soup with roti pancakes was to die for. It was really different and I could have eaten a vat full. Waitress missed off one of our mains but quickly rectified it which was great and all that matters. The ambience at lunchtime was good. It was full but not squashed. Lovely and clean. Would definitely go again and try some more dishes.
