Angelo is amazing! I had such a great experience here! The service was warm, attentive, and genuine, the staff really made us feel welcome and cared for throughout the evening. The cocktails were outstanding and well-balanced, creative, and beautifully presented. You can really tell that a lot of thought and skill goes into every drink. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!

Been intrigued by the photos and videos I have seen online about this place, decided to try it out with my group of friends for my birthday celebration.
All the dishes were good, yummy, just a little on the pricey end. Overall feedback was that the food options are not enough as a restaurant.
Staff were friendly and attentive. We were seated beside a group who talked loudly, hence the gathering in here ended quite early after we finished our food.
A good experience for a first time to the place.

I visited this restaurant once for dinner and found it genuinely intriguing — definitely a place I’d like to return to. It’s tucked away far from a typical restaurant neighborhood though.
Food – Well-balanced and delicious, with a hint of creativity. The dishes were interesting without being overpowering — a thoughtful touch. Portions were generous and satisfying.
Drinks – Cocktails were a highlight, featuring subtle oriental hints that complemented the menu beautifully.
Service – Friendly and professional, with staff offering well-considered recommendations that suited our preferences.
Ambience – The restaurant is beautifully designed, but the seating layout wasn’t ideal. The vibe felt more like dining in a club, which didn’t quite align with the elegance and refinement of the food. The overall atmosphere and cuisine quality felt slightly mismatched.

Visited Synthesis on 26 April 2025 at 4:30 PM and had an amazing experience! We were pleasantly surprised to discover a fantastic promotion — all à la carte dishes and even cocktails were priced at only $15++ each during the happy hour from 4pm to 5pm during the month of April.
Our table was served by Lister, who was incredibly attentive and observant. He even recommended a cocktail for us just by picking up on details from our conversation — such a personal touch!
We ended up ordering seven different dishes to try because the promotion was just too good to pass up. Every dish was bursting with flavor and left a memorable impression on all of us. Personally I love Guiness glazed Iberico pork the most. They are very generous in mixing the cocktail making every drink rich, strong and satisfying. Worth the price.
It was a wonderful experience overall, and made our birthday celebrations even more special. Highly recommend Synthesis for great food, attentive service, and a cozy, memorable atmosphere!
Will definitely be back for a good drink and food.

Synthesis Restaurant offers a truly unique and memorable dining experience. The fusion of flavors in each dish is expertly crafted, showcasing creativity and attention to detail. The ambiance is modern and inviting, perfectly complementing the innovative menu. Service was impeccable—attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. Standout dishes included Nutrient - Rich Sakura Chicken Herbal Poached Rice & Crispy Skin Atlantic Salmon [Mains] & Pan Seared Hokkaido Scallops [Small Plates], which were both visually stunning and delicious.
Highly recommend for anyone seeking a culinary adventure. **5/5 stars**— will definitely return!

We want to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to Nicholas, the restaurant manager, and his entire team for their exceptional hospitality during our family's first visit. We encountered a slight challenge when ordering as my husband has a seafood allergy, but Nicholas immediately stepped in to assist. His knowledge and recommendations were invaluable in helping us select dishes that my husband could safely and thoroughly enjoy. To further enhance our experience, we mentioned that the dinner was an early celebration for my dad's birthday, and the team went above and beyond to create a special moment for him, making the evening truly memorable. We are incredibly grateful for the attentive service and personal touch that made our dining experience so positive.

We had a lovely time celebrating my dad’s birthday here. Nadine was very friendly and helpful, and gave great food recommendations. She recommended the grilled squid and it was easily my favourite dish of the night. Our old man enjoyed the confit cabbage and iberico pork.
Bartender Vanu was also a solid dude and gave us some shots to celebrate. The cocktails that we ordered were also amazing. We got the Whiteout, Pulse and Unusual Remedy. Unusual Remedy was our favourite!
All the dishes were hits! Ambience was great even though we wished the interior was more oriental too since the theme outside was TCM!
Overall great place for a celebration. They have very fancy, over-the-top dragon cocktails 🤪
TLDR:
Must get for food: carbonara suanpanzi, grilled squid, iberico pork(marinated in guinness? What’s not to love!)
Drinks: Unusual Remedy if you love coffee!

We enjoyed the experience with interesting tasty food together with good service by Raj and Lister ( nicknamed Curly Hair). Lister professionally provided lighting when he helped to take a group photo. You will be provided with a scroll with happy birthday written in Chinese for your photoshoot if you are celebrating your birthday. Synthesis honours your celebration with a souvenir photo as well.
The Spring Blossom Bundle set at $82++ was value for money with 3 different starters, 2 side plates, 2 mains and 1 dessert, a total of 8 dishes.
Every item of the starter : Crab Meat Tartar Pani Puri, Braised Pulled Duck Tartlet left a good impression. Truffle Mushroom Bao filling was tasty but felt the bao pastry was not fluffy, was a little hard.
Sautéed Jumbo Asparagus was refreshingly creative served with a Tamarind glaze. Herb infused Crispy Prawn Ball was delicious with the taste of kaffir leave.
The 2 mains of Oolong Tea Smoked Chicken and Seafood Herbal Poached Rice were generous in portion. With 5 pax we could not finish the 2 mains.
Seasoning for the chicken was light and meat was tender.
Kudos to the chef for having a light hand with the salt. Unlike most eateries any broth dish would be very savoury. We did not feel thirsty after eating the Poached Rice which had a light herbal taste.
Dessert was Herbal Gui Ling Gao with Birdnest Floral Honey which was not sweet, served cold was refreshing. It was not as smooth as traditional gui ling gao as the pudding came in chopped pieces.
I would return and recommend.

Good food that is a twist on Chinese fusion. Our server Raj was extremely pleasant and friendly, making our entire dining experience an enjoyable one. The aesthetics of the place is also well designed, giving you a traditional Chinese medicine hall vibes - great for photos. Will recommend this place for family/friend gatherings or event, also make sure to request for Raj!

Cozy ambience with a creative menu of TCM-infused fusion dishes and healthy cocktails made with traditional Chinese medicine ingredients. The staff, especially Lister, was super attentive and patiently explained each dish as it was served.
We loved the truffle carbonara sun pan zi, Mongolian fried cauliflower, and the not-so-small cabbage small plate. Appetizers were unique and very appetizing. Highly recommend the "Whiteout" cocktail—refreshing with wintermelon in the mix.
They made our birthday celebration extra special by singing a birthday song, giving us a personalized birthday card, and even snapping a polaroid photo for keepsake. Plus, birthday shots were on the house! A thoughtful and memorable dining experience all around.
