We’re now at the midway mark of 2025. With the arrival of a new month, there are new restaurants and cafes to check out with your foodie friends. Without further ado, here is our list of the best new restaurants in Singapore in June 2025, from a famous uni omakase spot to a personal hotpot joint.
Table of Contents
Morita UNIGORO, a new restaurant specialising in premium-grade uni, has just landed in Singapore. FYI, this is the brand’s first outlet outside of Osaka, Japan. We got to try their $168++ hotpot set, and we would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a fancy seafood omakase experience!
To start, we had the Uniku, which combines thin slices of A5 Kagoshima Wagyu beef and premium sea urchin from Hokkaido. This plate featured one of the best uni we’ve had: silky, creamy, and rich. But the piece de résistance of the meal was definitely the Uni Hotpot, chockful of top-quality seafood such as abalone from Sanriku Coast, Hamaguri clams from Kuwana City, Japanese spiny lobster from Ise-Shima, A5 kagoshima Wagyu beef, and Hokkaido pork belly. This was soaking in a sweet and delightful broth that we wanted to polish till the last drop. The meal was followed by a delicious Uni Risotto made with the leftover broth, and an icy and sweet watermelon Homemade Granita dessert. We’ve said enough; visit them at Telok Ayer!

Popular Muslim-friendly, homegrown burger joint Burgs by Project Warung recently rebranded and reopened a new two-storey outlet in Bugis.
We tried their new and improved The Original ($13) which puts a local spin on a classic cheeseburger by adding tangy pickled green chillies, a condiment typically served in Chinese restaurants. If you’re not big on beef, we recommend the Big Bird ($12) instead, packed with a crispy fried chicken patty, purple cabbage slaw, and a generous amount of sriracha mayo for some heat. Don’t forget to pair the burgers with the Nuggies ($7 for six), deep-fried boneless chicken with a choice of your dip: Ranch, Spicy Nacho Cheese, Curry and Kicap Manis ($1 each).

Just when we thought the pizza craze in Singapore has died down, we’re proven wrong with the launch of Pizza Studio Tamaki (PST) in Singapore. The Tokyo-famous restaurant, which has earned a mention on the Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand and 100 Top Pizzas in the World lists, is set to open in Tanjong Pagar on 10 June 2025.
Made with premium Canadian and American flour, PST’s dough is left to ferment for 30 hours, before its baked in a wood-fired oven till lightly charred. It sports the classic Neapolitian-style pizza look, where the crust is puffy and middle is thin. Interestingly, the underside of each slice boasts a distinct saltiness, thanks to the addition of Okinawan salt. Must-try flavours are the Tamaki ($29++), topped with Datterini tomatoes and smoked mozz, and Bismarck ($32++), featuring mozzarella, pecorino romano, mushrooms, salsiccia AKA pork sausage, and raw Hinata eggs.

If you’re celebrating a special occasion this June, we recommend checking out GU:UM along Keong Said Road. The popular modern Korean restaurant, headed by award-winning Chef Louis Han, recently updated their a la carte menu with new and exciting dishes.
Their Sujebi Mac ‘n Cheese ($24++) is a must-try; this hearty side stars Korean hand-pulled dough and bacon, spiked with doenjang: Korean fermented soybean paste. Other noteworthy picks are the Chandol Somtam ($28++), a new Korean-Thai starter featuring sliced beef brisket atop a zesty salad, and the iconic Seafood Pajeon ($30++), a thin and crispy pancake loaded with grilled seafood. For mains, you won’t go wrong with the Black Onyx Salchi-sal (from $86++), a melt-in-your-mouth cut near the shoulder of the beef.

Step into Broth and Beyond, and you will feel like you’re transported into a classy restaurant in Shanghai. Everything from the interior to the service felt warm and inviting, yet grand, and not to mention, the space is huge too.
The personalised hotpot here features delicious broths, made with premium ingredients flown straight from Yunnan. Mushroom-lovers, go for their Signature Black Truffle & Eight Mushroom Broth ($15.90++), comprising a clear, earthy mushroom soup with a hint of truffle. For proteins, the Pork and Beef Platter ($36.99++) is great bang for your buck, featuring thinly sliced pork belly, pork collar, and beef tongue. When cooked, the tender pork belly boasted a good meat-to-fat ratio, adding a rich, meaty flavour to the broth.
Don’t leave without making your own dessert bowl at their Market Table. For just $4.99++, you get access to a lavish spread featuring over 50 selections of condiments, sides, and desserts.

If you love hearty Tex-Mex fare—think Huevos in Bugis—this one’s for you. Bored Tacos recently opened its third outlet at Jalan Klapa, and we’re all for it.
Expect classics here, including our favourite Beef Chilli Cheese Quesadilla ($12.90): golden brown quesadilla, gooey melted cheddar, minced beef, and crunchy diced tomato and onions. Other must-tries include the Loaded Nachos ($14.90), where crispy nacho chips meet gooey mozzarella and nacho cheese. Pair your cheese-laden nachos with the fresh guacamole and salsa on the side for the best experience.

Pancake lovers, you’ll want in on this. Moe Moe Soft Souffle, a China-famous souffle pancake chain, has opened its first outlet in Singapore this May 2025. For the uninitiated, a souffle pancake is essentially a fluffy Japanese pancake made with whipped egg whites and creamy meringue for a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
As matcha cafe girlies, my colleague and I went straight for the Matcha ($5.90) souffle. Sadly, it lacked the grassy, earthy flavours we were hoping for. The Grape & Cream ($6.90) fared better; this “sandwich” starred two classic Hokkaido milk pancakes paired with three muscat grape slices for a refreshing treat.

Bao’s Pastry or Bao Shi Fu, a famous chain with over 100 outlets across China, has officially landed on our shores! Since opening at Paya Lebar Square‘s Scarlett Supermarket, the store has been sporting long queues for their Xiao Bei Crispy Seaweed Floss Cake ($3.60), egg tarts, mochi and more.
The viral Xiao Bei Crispy Seaweed Floss Cake is a must-try. Unlike the regular pork floss bun you’ll find in most bakeries here, this treat features a chiffon cake-like texture. Upon tearing, a silky-smooth sweet cream oozes from the middle, adding a lovely richness to the snack. Besides their famous floss cakes, customers love their Velvet Taro Egg Tart ($2.90) and Croissant Egg Tart ($2.90), where flaky croissant layers are paired with a custard-like centre.

VivoCity mall is home to over 150 eateries, but there’s a fresh face on the block you’ll want to check out. Kyo Komachi, a restaurant that opened its doors in May 2025, is best known for their house-made Himokawa Udon ($12.90++). These are essentially premium Japanese wheat noodles that look similar to kway chap, served in ice-cold water to retain their silky soft texture. You’re given the option of two dipping sauces for your noodles, where you can choose from the likes of rich Curry, sweet-salty Shoyu, or nutty-tangy Sesame sauce.
Otherwise, the White Curry Udon ($12.90++) is not to be missed. A twist on your typical curry udon, each bowl is served with their house-made espuma-style mousse.

Violet Oon Singapore‘s latest Dempsey outlet is a beautiful two-storey Peranakan restaurant, decked in elegant ceramic wall tiles that reminded us of The Emerald Hill. If we could only recommend two items, they’d be Hati Babi Bungkus ($24++) and Daging Panggang Sambal Hijau ($69++). The former is a traditional delicacy, featuring pork liver balls infused with toasted coriander seeds. Alternatively, the grain-fed black Angus ribeye topped with house-made green chilli paste and crispy, deep-fried garlic chips is a great choice.
End your meal on a refreshing note with the Coconut Delight ($16++), which comprises coconut jelly, thick coconut flesh, a scoop of coconut ice cream, finished with shaved gula melaka.

For award-winning pizza, give Vincenzo Capuano a try. Helmed by pizzaiolo Chef Vincenzo, who has been making pizzas for over 20 years, the reputable restaurant ranked 12th on the 50 Top World Artisan Pizza Chains list in 2024. They recently opened in Fort Canning, where you can get a solid Italian experience with appetisers, pastas, pizzas, and of course, desserts.
The Provola E Pepe ($28++) is the award-winning pizza that impressed us the most. It’s a pretty simple dish, consisting of San Marzano tomato sauce with smoked provola, seasoned and roasted cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, pepper mix, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. We enjoyed the light and fluffy dough, which boasted a slight chew in each bite! For sharing, the Gnocchi ($28++) is a decent choice; it features soft potato gnocchi paired with the restaurant’s signature house-made spicy sauce and rich cream.

This one’s for shio pan fans: Shio And Sato is now at The Centrepoint till January 2026! You’ll find a lineup of 10 different flavours at their temporary cafe, and we got to try six of them: Sea Salt ($3.60), Kombu ($4.80), Garlic Herb Cheese ($5.50), Green Chilli ($5.50), Tamago ($5.50), and Hokkaido Milk ($5.80).
Our favourites were the Kombu and Green Chilli. The latter is made using smooth cream cheese and finished with finely chopped green onion bits. Flavour-wise, we enjoyed the slightly sweet and tangy cream cheese paired with fragrant chopped green onion. In terms of texture, the crispy and chewy salted bread tasted even better with the addition of the rich cream cheese. FYI, we encourage you to make your way down as early as possible to avoid the snaking queue that forms during lunchtime.

Australia-famous dessert chain Gelato Messina has made its debut in Chinatown, offering a whopping total of 40 gelato flavours! For the unacquainted, this popular gelato brand has been around for over 20 years, and their handcrafted desserts are made from scratch using top-tier ingredients.
All gelato flavours here are sold at a fixed price: a scoop costs $7.50, while two scoops cost $10 and three cost $12. Out of the 40 flavours, five are Singapore exclusives, namely Kaya Toast and Tau Huay. The former surprised us as it came with actual kaya jam and bits of toast, giving the smooth, creamy gelato an interesting texture. If you love a sweet-tangy sorbet, we urge you to get the Mango and Raspberry.

New kid on the Bugis+ block Xita Lao Tai Tai is one for the books, especially if you’re a fan of Chinese barbecue. Originating from Shenyang, China, the popular restaurant chain is known for its charcoal-grilled meats cooked on a “claypot stove”, with Korean influences shaped by the city’s sizable Korean population.
You get to choose from a wide range of meat platters, each said to have its unique house-made marinade. The Special Marinated Beef Rib Finger ($33.90++), for instance, is marinated in a Korean-inspired glaze that’s sweet and savoury. This cut comes from between the rib bones, offering a chewy texture and rich, meaty flavour. We also enjoyed the Flagship Featherblade Steak ($36.90++), a thick-cut that was meaty, beefy, and juicy altogether.

ICYMI: The Coach Bar has taken over the previous space of Coach Cafe. The New York-inspired bar is located within Coach Play Singapore Shophouse, in a Chinatown shophouse along Keong Saik Road.
You can look forward to elevated American bar staples, alongside a well-curated list of cocktails. Don’t miss out on their Martinis, too, which go for just $12++ a pop, all night long. Each martini is customised to your liking, with garnishes including bitters and blue cheese-stuffed olives. Food-wise, we recommend their Grilled Cheese Sandwich ($23++), stacked with American cheddar, gruyere, extra sharp cheddar, Dijon mustard, and caramelised onions. This toastie is paired with a tangy tomato soup on the side for dipping. Otherwise, get the loaded Silver Service Hot Dog ($30++) for sharing.
