What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Takashimaya's Food Village is praised for its cleanliness, variety of delicious food, and excellent value, especially the highly recommended Pao Fan. While the atmosphere is welcoming and service is generally good, some visitors note challenges in finding certified halal options within the main food court.
"HUGE shoutout to the Pao Fan (Poached Rice) stall for their dish. For $9.90, you get big fresh prawns and scallops soaked in a light gravy bursting with umami. The fried rice crisps also accentuates the flavour of the broth to new heights. 100% must try if you are here! Genuinely was not expecting the dish to be this good in a mall food court :)"

"The food village Takashimaya is fabulous, spotless clean and very welcoming. The ladies cleaning the area are amazing & helped me with how to chope and asked me how I like the local food. The food is delicious. We came back many times & everything has always been to very high standards. You can also purchase from ie Ya Kun Kaya or one of the bakeries then eat in the middle of the food village (in case of doubt)"

"Nice foodcourt, Ok range of foods, the pork cutlet deal at Kimukatsu is decent. Seating is easy as you have to order first then they will direct you to a table."
