RASA on Postcard

"Weekly visits to this gastropub might not be enough. Truly, few restaurants feel this relaxed and cook with so much gusto. Are you curious about those chickpea fritters with lemon mascarpone and wasabi or the truffle gnudi with pesto? You should be. Sea bream ceviche with chili oil is as bold as lamb vindaloo dumplings. In the end, no one cuisine can claim this endlessly tempting menu that delivers hearty, unfussy flavors in abundance. And yes, the burger is as good as it looks, the tender patty made with beef cheek, grilled, and served on house made brioche smeared in gochujang mayo. In total, the portions are generous so bring friends; the flavors are big so bring an appetite; and the satisfaction is high so count on a return visit." - Michelin Inspector

"Rasa has an always-changing menu that doesn’t stick to one cuisine, and you’ll regularly find things like lamb bacon and truffle gnudi with foie gras listed next to brussels sprouts with cauliflower cheese and scotch bonnet vinegar. The interior can be described as sort of ‘industrial-chic,’ but you should sit on the airy patio when you can, especially for Sunday brunch." - Katie Diamond

Their burger is as good as it looks. Super beefy taste and great texture from the beef cheek, while not managing to be greasy at all. Just great flavour. Chopped salad is also done really well here, with a combination of textures and flavours. Sea bream was also quite good; the fish is very hearty feeling and has a satisfying chew that feels substantial. We thought the fritters were actually the least impressive, as they turned out to be pretty salty.

It was a nice place to have dinner with the family. You have to make reservations, especially for big groups, as seats fill fast. The service was quite good, and they would check up on you just enough to meet your needs, but not too much to be a bother. Their dishes were quite tasety and were served in a good amount. Dessert choices were the best. You may have to visit them frequently as the menu changes depending on the season.

Rasa isn’t just amazing, it’s epic! … and it’s all thanks to an incredible team that every day executes a perfect choreography. The result? Mouth-watering food and a relaxed, warm, and friendly atmosphere. You won’t even notice the staff but they’re constantly yet discreetly watching everything that goes on and they know exactly when to show up and take your dining experience to the next phase. The teamwork is as impressive as the flavors! There’s a reason they have been recognized by Michelin and I could have told you they were destined for greatness when I first dined here two years ago. If you’re a foodie, you KNOW when you’ve struck gold and Rasa is a rare gold mine. Every dish is unique and nothing you’ll ever have elsewhere. You better come here often because the menu changes seasonally and a dish you really loved just might be replaced (albeit by another dish you’ll really love!). The perfection is not limited to food and service. Their unique cocktail drinks are outstanding as well.

We came here for dinner and had a lovely time. The food was delicious (the ceviche and octopus dishes were our favourites). The staff were also very friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back!

I spent New Year’s Eve trying out their tasting menu, and it was a wonderful experience. As a solo diner, I felt very welcomed and well cared for. The food was excellent, and even their playlist was delightful. The attentive service, especially from Ken, made the evening special. I honestly felt like the experience was worth more than I paid for. I’m definitely coming back with friends and family next time.

Took my girlfriend here for her 22nd birthday and definitely did not disappoint. We got two classic tasting menus and all the rounds worked so well with each other. Definitely look out for the truffle gnudi to die for 😭. Will absolutely be coming back in the near future!

Went for company Christmas dinner recently and this place was fun as heck. The appetizers were all tasty, was a big fan of the steak. Staff were all super friendly as well. To top it off their dessert was top tier, sticky bun and s'more sandwich, neither were super sweet but still decadent. Last to mentioned, I unfortunately don't drink, but their mocktails are pretty good and a good option to go for if you don't drink.

The food price is reasonable, and the server is very attentive. He also took his time to explain the good menu. A lot of their menus are fusion dishes, which is great as it gives a unique experience. Would visit again.
