The food was OK, nothing special, and the portions were small for the price. We had 2 appetizers, and 3 entrees, the ostrich, pepper prawns and seabass. I felt it was not enough food for 4 people. We ordered rice for 4 and it came in a bowl as if it were for 2 people. I would look for another Singaporean restaurant in the Bay Area.
Pros: Easy parking
Cons: Value, small portions

Strictly speaking there is no such thing as Singaporean Cuisine. It is really a hodgepodge of Chinese, Thai, Indian, Indonesian, and other Asia Cusines. Whatever it may be, all the dishes served at Shiok are absolutely delicious.

This is one of the best places to eat in the area. They are very nice and the service is great. Check out all the tea selections they have, yum.

This is authentic singaporean: malay based recipes with chinese cook, mixed in with some indian and then misprononounced to be something you can call Singlish. I like to look at the menu and see chicken rice SURROUNDED by chili based foods. It looks like a little yellow dot in a sea of red.

Shiok has delicious pan-Asian food...I highly recommend the roti dish. It's hearty, and you get a huge portion, but it's soft, buttery, and very, very yummy! Other noteworthy menu items are the grilled prawns and the white fish.
PROS: variety, creativity, flavors
CONS: gets busy at rush hours

I recently got the "Cholesterol lecture" from my doctor ... no panic, just eat better and exercise. I quickly discovered how hard is was to eat well for lunch. A burger with fries? Eeek!
I finally found Shiok. For $6.95 I get a tasty (and surprisingly healthy) complete meal with meat, rice, vegetable and salad. And not garbage steam table Chinese. Don't tell the doctor that we share the Roti Prata (bread with curry dipping sauce) for appetizer.
Pros: Great Lunch, Nice Environment
Cons: One Hour Parking

Great food and service all round. It's authentic SINGAPORE food... nothing like your make believe fusion types. Neither is it Malaysian or Indonesian cuisine. If you have been to Singapore you'd definitely agree. Prices are reasonable. Considering the sauces and the spices that they use, well, they are to die for. A great blend of taste to boot. We tried the chilli prawns and the pepper crab and it made me miss Singapore so much more. A novel way of serving on plastic plates... cos of the "hawker-center" culture in Sinapore. I'd definitely go back.
Pros: friendly servers, easy parking, homely environment
Cons: packed on weekends

We tried the beef samosas which had no beef. Waitress suggested that the beef and vegetarian samosas look the same. Cost $6 for 2 small-ish samosas filled with just potato. We had Hokkien Mee - not authentic Malaysian Hokkien Mee with dark sauce. This dish had barely any sauce or taste. We tried Nonya Fish - tasty but not crispy as advertised. Ambience quite nice. However, every dish was served on a plastic plate - tacky! Overall prices are ok but not worth it for the quality of food. Food arrived quickly. Service was good. There are better Singapore/Malaysian restaurants with better prices - Banana Island, Westlake and Mango Bay, Redwood Shores. A disappointing experience. We will not go back!
Pros: decent service, quick food, nice ambience
Cons: plastic plates, food not authentic, relatively expensive
