Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: 1036 Live Seafood offers a mixed bag, with some diners praising its 'kampong vibes' and specific dishes, while others find the overall quality lacking.

The 'Pork Rib with Special Sauce' appears to be a consistent highlight, with one reviewer noting it as 'the best dish of the night'.

However, other items like the BBQ Stingray and You Tiao with Salad Sauce receive criticism for being dry or hard.

Service is also inconsistent, with some experiencing quick delivery, while others report difficulty getting attention and an 'unhappy' tone from staff.

There are also mentions of forgotten orders and a perceived decline in food quality over time.

We think the 'Yang chou fried rice with sambal chilli' is also worth considering based on positive feedback.

We'd recommend managing expectations and focusing on the recommended dishes.

It's a place that might appeal if you're in the Sembawang area looking for a relaxed, non-city atmosphere, but it's not a guaranteed culinary destination.

Best for a casual meal where specific dish choices can make or break the experience.

What customers say

1036 Live Seafood offers a relaxing, kampong-like atmosphere, drawing some customers back repeatedly for its ambiance.

While some praise dishes like Yang Chou fried rice with sambal chilli and Pork Rib with Special Sauce, others find the food quality inconsistent, with complaints about blandness, dry BBQ stingray, and a gooey chai po egg.

Service can be quick but also inattentive, and some perceive staff as unhappy to serve, despite occasional complimentary dishes.

I’ll be honest. The food here is edible and okay, but not to the extent of being delicious. Personally, I would choose other zichar restaurants over this one. • Pork Rib with Special Sauce: Probably t…
