This is an upmarket Singaporean restaurant in a high-end Washington area mall. The space is large and quiet and intimately lit, with good service, but I just wasn’t blown away by the food. We had a combination of starters - an underwhelming so-called “carrot cake”, six decent shrimp and a so-so chicken satay. - before moving onto the main course. Two of us had the very large and bland beef cheeks ($48 U.S. a plate) which really didn’t make it as the highlight of meal out....read full review
Great place, nice view, friendly service but normal food.Went there cause I’ve been told it’s the first Singapore fine-dining restaurant, but was disappointed as it’s not the same I tried for my four months staying in Singapore.We had the laksa and also the chili crab. Laksa was no way similar to the soup I had in Singapore. The flavor or shrimp and seafood in this soup was not strong enough so it was covered by the salt and soy sauce added to it.

Jiwa Singapura is a Singaporean restaurant located in Tyson's Galleria, known for its beautiful ambiance and attentive service. The menu offers a variety of dishes, with the char kway teow being a standout favorite. The chili crab, while coated in a thick sauce, was found to be a bit of a disappointment by some due to its lack of flavor. The restaurant provides bibs and gloves for the chili crab, which was appreciated by guests. During restaurant week, there were some issues with seating and order taking, but overall, the food was enjoyed. The pork belly and fried rice received mixed reviews, while the crab roll and coconut sago were praised. The coconut sago was particularly enjoyed, with one guest noting it was the best part of their meal. The restaurant has a spacious dining area and an outdoor seating option, making it a great spot for a unique dining experience in the Tysons area.
