Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Satay by the Bay offers a lively, open-air dining experience with a focus on its namesake dish.

Reviews consistently highlight the well-grilled satay, noting its smoky aroma, tender meat, and rich, nutty peanut sauce.

While the satay receives high praise, other local dishes like Hokkien Mee, fried oyster, and kueh pie tee are often described as bland or unremarkable.

The atmosphere, especially in the evening with waterfront views and a breeze, is a significant draw, making it popular with both tourists and locals.

Prices are generally considered slightly higher than typical hawker centres, which some find acceptable given the location and ambience, while others feel the value for non-satay items falls short.

We think it's a good spot for groups looking for a scenic setting and reliable satay, but for a broader range of quality local hawker fare, better value can be found elsewhere.

Best for a casual evening meal focused on satay and the outdoor dining experience.

What customers say

Satay by the Bay is generally well-regarded for its vibrant open-air dining experience and scenic waterfront location, especially appealing to tourists and groups.

The satay, particularly from stalls like City Satay, receives consistent praise for its smoky aroma, tender meat, and rich peanut sauce.

However, some customers find other dishes, such as dumplings, Hokkien Mee, fried oyster, and kueh pie tee, to be bland or overpriced, suggesting better value can be found elsewhere for non-satay options.
