Waited over 30 minutes for food. The food quality and taste were poor. It's very seldom that I'm unable to finish a cup of coffee, but it was that bad. One visit is more than enough for me.

Had family lunch on a Monday afternoon around 1 pm. We were utterly disappointed with the service as we encountered issues with the food quality. We ordered two set lunches of battered fish and one set lunch of truffle bacon carbonara pasta. The pasta had no issues and tasted fine. However, there were problems with the fish where we felt something was wrong with its freshness, texture, and color. The battered fish was soggy and soft, the fish meat appeared undercooked, was pinkish, didn't look fresh, and some parts were translucent. (Please refer to the images attached). The texture of the fish was mushy and it tasted a bit weird compared to usual fish. We informed the manager about this issue. She insisted that the fish (we ordered dory fish) had no issues with its color or texture after we showed it to her. She also repeatedly mentioned that they have been using the same supplier for 8 years and that cooked dory fish is meant to have this taste, texture, color, and appearance. Ultimately, we were utterly disappointed with the service as the problem was not resolved properly, and we had to pay for the meal. I did further research and asked other chefs to confirm if cooked battered dory fish is meant to be this way. Sadly, they agreed that the fish looked uncooked and there might be food quality issues. A cooked battered dory fish should have a crispy and golden brown outer batter, while the fish meat should be opaque/white/light-colored and flaky. We have eaten at many other outlets before, and none of their fish tasted like this. Sadly, this was our first time encountering this! I hope the owner/in charge of Big Fish Small Fish company could provide an explanation and resolution regarding this issue, as it is not a small matter but relates to food quality and safety in the F&B business. Thank you.

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised when we were served complimentary chips. There might be two reasons for this: 1. The mains do take a while to come (around 15-20 minutes during off-peak hours), and 2. When you order the mains, the only free side is the chips. If you're tired of having more chips, you'll want to pay more to change the sides, which might be a tactic by the eatery. We ordered the spicy battered sea bass combo and the non-spicy battered haddock combo. Both fish were lovely and well-prepared. I'd recommend getting the non-spicy version as it's good enough. The sea bass was flaky, while the haddock was firm and drier. The batter is light and thin, but not beer-battered, so don't expect it to be very fragrant. The free-flow sauce bar is a nice touch, but the bottles can be quite greasy on the surface, and you'll need to clean your fingers afterwards. There's also free-flow water (self-service) provided.

I dropped by Big Fish Small Fish in Bugis and ordered their House Special Seafood Aglio Olio—and it did not disappoint in flavour! The pasta was cooked just right, tossed in a fragrant garlic and olive oil base with a kick of spice that really brought it to life. The seafood was fresh and well-prepared—tender prawns, perfectly cooked squid, and crispy golden dory pieces added a nice mix of textures. Each bite was satisfying and packed with flavour. However, the portion was on the smaller side for the price, and the amount of seafood was a bit underwhelming. I found myself wishing there was just a little more on the plate. Still, the vibrant setting and friendly service made it a worthwhile visit. If you're in Bugis and craving a tasty seafood pasta, it's definitely worth a try—just don’t come too hungry unless you plan to order extras!

Food was good. Service was awesome. The duck Caesar salad was yummy! I left my valuables here, and the manager was so accommodating. She kept my valuables safely and returned them to me the next day when I went to the outlet to collect them. Truly touched by the experience I had here. Happy with their service.

A hidden gem, truly. I didn't expect the food to be so good. The surf and turf chicken was amazing with black pepper sauce; even my hubby asked for another portion. The rosti, breaded, was an unheard-of dish – it was special and yummy. The battered fish literally melts in your mouth! Service was tip-top as well, served by Claire, who came over from time to time to check if we needed a chip refill! Will definitely come back again.

Came around 6-ish and there was only a short queue. Despite them being desperately shorthanded, the service was good. They were smiling and courteous throughout. Unfortunately, the food was not up to par. Putting aside the free-flow chips, which were a mix of crispy and not-so-crispy, the fish and pasta combo I ordered was just not as good. The aglio olio was definitely not your typical aglio olio. It felt like they overspiced it and perhaps added soy sauce, but it just tasted weird. The haddock was okay (hawker stall standard), but I was expecting much better. Even the mushroom soup was kind of sad; it's been a long time since I've had mushroom soup like that. They are definitely slightly higher priced than your typical hawker centre, but for this price, I expected better.
