Food Opera operates in ION Orchard's basement level (#B4-03/04) as an upscale food court housing 27 vendors across 19,000 square feet of British colonial-inspired dining space. The air-conditioned food hall brings hawker centre authenticity to mall convenience, featuring Singapore classics including Hainanese chicken rice, char kway teow, laksa, and rojak alongside Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Peranakan specialties. Operating daily 10am-11pm, Food Opera attracts both locals seeking familiar favourites and tourists wanting accessible introduction to Singapore's food culture without outdoor hawker centre conditions.
Notable vendors include Li Xin fishball noodles, Bangkok Gem Thai cuisine, and Fortunate Hong Kong dim sum. The Food Republic-managed venue accepts cashless payments and offers delivery through Foodpanda. Pricing runs higher than neighbourhood hawker centres, reflecting the premium mall location and enhanced amenities. The basement positioning provides convenient access for ION Orchard shoppers, office workers from surrounding towers, and Orchard Road visitors seeking authentic local flavours within the shopping district's luxury retail environment.

I am a local and the laksa here is very overpriced, for just an average bowl of laksa. Came here twice, and they did not have the smaller prawns both time, u will be forced to buy the more expensive bowl instead. Quite scam-y.
A bowl of laksa with small prawns is around ~$8 (two times overpriced), came at 7pm and 5pm but they dont have small prawns, so they told me to order the king prawns laksa bowl ($10.80), i was thinking "well $2 for 2 big prawns added is pretty alright", but really they just give 1 and a half small prawns. 🤔 very overpriced for what is only an average bowl of laksa.
In conclusion, just google "singapore top laksa" and pick one from there thats actually local and reasonable and maybe even better than average.

Horrible service and food from Food Opera Korean food stall. Just look at the ridiculous small amount of food they gave for the $9 Chicken and Pork set. Ridiculous! When I asked them why so little the cook is extremely rude and said yup that’s the amount we give and it doesn’t mean that you order more expensive double meat set we give you more meat! What horrid service and we will never patronize this stall again.

A bustling food court offering a wide variety of food and drinks. Despite the many available tables, it still took some time to find a seat due to the crowd. Prices are slightly on the higher side, but the fish ball noodles were quite good. Overall, an okay experience.
Blackraven
A busy food court at the heart of Orchard, conveniently located via escalator from the mrt station. Had tried Kam’s Roast, and highly recommend the lean char siew and tender roast duck. There are many other stalls, will try them next time. Expect prices of a premium food court!

The food opera is a haven for foodies.
I was like a baby in a candy shop, I tried every food my stomach could hold.
The food opera is found on the fourth floor of the ion Orchard.
The food opera is very vibrant with impressive decor that makes great spots for Instagram.
The stalls here have an extensive menu with diverse options.
Delicious dishes, with creative flavour combinations.
staff at the different restaurants and vendors are friendly and welcoming. Orders were taken promptly, and food comes in less than 10 minutes
Prices are slightly higher than average. Portion size is generous servings.
Overall Experience;The Food Opera offers an exceptional dining experience with its impressive ambience, creative dishes, and excellent service. While prices might be slightly higher, the quality and experience make it worthwhile.
I'd highly recommend The Food Opera for sampling Asian cruisine or nights out with friends.

Honestly, whoever says Singapore has no good food and expensive, you should come to Food Opera.
Food here is above average and my favorite has to be the Bak Choh Mee (in my opinion is even better than the one Michelin star Bah Choh Mee) & The Indonesian Grilled Chicken rice.
My other favorite is Laksa. Very rich and flavorful broth.
My must visit every time I’m in Singapore!
Karl Chong
Upmarket hawker centre, we felt prices were really sharp as Australians. Had the best Indonesian chicken sate I have ever had in my life here, the lady behind me ordered 5 sets! The prawns laksa is rich and full of umami flavour.
