Meta Restaurant

★★★★★ Went back to Meta with my wife for our second visit, this time at their new location, and the food was just as good as before — maybe even better. What I really enjoy about Meta is how carefully each dish is built. The sauces are a big highlight for me; they bring the dishes together and show a lot of thought and precision. The Korean-style ingredients also give the menu a unique flavour identity, which makes the experience feel different from many other fine dining restaurants. The Jeju Abalone was my favourite dish of the night and felt like a true signature. The appetisers were refreshing and really helped open up the appetite. I also enjoyed the Gyeran Jjim, which had a smooth texture that reminded me of the steamed egg custard I used to have in Hong Kong. The BBQ Wagyu with spring pea rice was a nice touch too. As an Asian, I always appreciate having good meat paired with rice — it just feels right. Desserts were also excellent and left a strong final impression. I especially liked the rice doughnut, which reminded me of traditional Korean snacks. It was simple, comforting, and a great way to end the meal. Overall, my wife and I left very happy. The whole experience felt polished, thoughtful, and personal. Definitely a place we would return to again.

Celebrated an occasion earlier this year at Meta. The food certainly did not disappoint - as someone who dined at Meta earlier in its life I found that the food has certainly evolved and matured. Overall, it was satisfying to the palette with a good balance of rich and clean flavours. Service could have been better. Some tables required more attention but I don’t think this means that other tables should be sacrificed. Ultimately it was still a pleasant experience, but definitely this was one clear point to improve on. We had to wait quite awhile before the menu was explained to us as the table beside us had many questions about the wine they were having. Aside from that, I only have compliments for the food. Kudos to the team and I hope Meta continues keeping the high standards.

Had an amazing birthday lunch here! The food was absolutely delicious, with a really cool, innovative take on Korean fine dining that made the celebration feel extra special. The service was top-notch too. The staff is super detailed and pays close attention to exactly what you need throughout the meal without being intrusive. Highly recommend if you want to celebrate a special occasion with great food and flawless vibes! Thank you so much to the team for the wonderful experience and for making our celebration so memorable! From, Jackson & Yi Chen

An enjoyable wholistic experience, the signature dishes live up to their names. It is very different from the other michelin star restaurants as you can feel the intentional focus to amplify the Asian/Korean tasting experience. It is refreshing on the ingredients and presentation and yet keeping up with the expectation of quality and taste. We also particularly like the pace of how the dishes are served. For us, we want to have a nice meal with exceptional service and good quality food, but sometime the 2.5-3.5hours mealtime is a luxury in itself and META can adjust that to our preference, with minimal waiting time between dishes and this is a huge plus for us!

Interesting Korean influenced Michelin meal: every dish was thoughtfully presented and very well done. There wasn’t a single thing we didn’t enjoy! Ambience is simple and clean

Pleasantly surprised ~ went in with not high expectation ... had korean fine dining in a bunch of places and wasn't that impressed. Came out pretty satisfied. The cooking is refined but not showy, menu's overall seafood-forward. Highlights ❤️ the Jeju abalone with risotto is the real deal — textures don't fight each other, which sounds simple but rarely is. The dessert kind of looks like a 💩 hahahah but cant believe it's my fav. sweet potato ice cream!! Literally the dream, can never get over this after having it in tokyo when i was a kid Not everything landed 💣the cod shirako steamed egg was overcooked, shirako had the texture of firm tofu. 💣And the scaled tilefish didn't quite deliver either, maybe one of those "typical" dishes in omakase, to me, the scale should at least... stand up? seems like a kitchen error that shouldnt happen. wagyu rice to finish, specifically the bamboo shoot and sweet corn underneath, was unexpectedly the best bite of the night. Won't blow your mind, but it's the kind of meal you leave feeling quietly satisfied. At $430/pax without drinks, totally worth 🥰🥰

Interesting menu and generally delicious food. However I have certain expectations of a 2-starred Michelin establishment, and I’m afraid they fell short. Service was impersonal, a few plates were served with drips of sauces on the side/ lopsided plating presentation. Some of the servers who introduced the courses had really strong foreign accents and it was not easy to understand what they were saying. It was still a pleasant experience overall, but I won’t be in a hurry to return. There are just better options in Singapore at this price point ($398 per pax for the food, before taxes)

Meta was a very special experience. We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary there and it was perfect. Service was attentive. It’s a very quiet restaurant and possibly a bit stiff but I think that’s the vibe they want. Food was incredible and we have an amazing bottle of champagne. It was however very expensive so sadly a one off visit for us!
