Shops & Dining at Tampines 1
Tampines 1 has a distinctive tenant mix that skews younger — stronger on dining concepts and fashion brands than the other two Tampines malls. Below are the tenants most worth knowing about.
Food & Beverage
TANYU (#04-06/07/08)
TANYU is the standout dining anchor at Tampines 1. It is a Chongqing-style grilled fish chain — whole fish marinated and grilled over charcoal, served in a large wok with your choice of broth base (spicy mala, tomato, black bean, and others). A full fish serves two to three people comfortably. Expect a queue on weekend evenings; reservations open on their app. Whole fish from $48.90++.
Google rating: 4.8 from over 3,000 reviews (March 2026). This is consistently the most-reviewed dining outlet at Tampines 1.
Aburi-EN (#01-24/25/26)
Aburi-EN is a Japanese donburi and aburi (flame-seared) rice bowl concept. The torched salmon and scallop bowls are the signature items. Lunch sets are competitively priced. The outlet at Tampines 1 is one of the busier ones in their Singapore network. Donburi from $19.90++.
Haruyama Udon (B1)
Fresh udon made in-house with visible production behind glass. Lighter on the wallet than the Level 4 restaurants. Good option for a quick lunch or solo meal — expect a shorter wait than the Level 4 dinner restaurants.
108 Matcha Saro (L1 / L2 area)
Japanese matcha specialist with hot and iced matcha drinks, matcha soft serve, and light bites. One of the few tenants in the Tampines cluster with a clear Japanese matcha focus rather than a generalised bubble tea menu.
CHURN (L1)
Ice cream concept specialising in churned-to-order soft serve and ice cream sandwiches. Queues can form on weekend afternoons. Worth knowing if you are visiting with children.
fieldnotes (B1)
Artisan bakery and café with a specialty coffee programme. Pastries change seasonally. Among the better coffee options in the mall — preferred by residents who want something more considered than a chain café.
Kuriya Japanese Market (B1-K7)
This is the most distinctive food tenant in the mall. Kuriya is a Japanese grocery and deli concept stocking imported Japanese produce, fresh sashimi-grade fish, wagyu cuts, and a range of ready-to-eat options including sushi sets, bento, and onigiri. It carries Japanese products not readily available at Cold Storage or other suburban supermarkets. If you are cooking Japanese food at home, this is the stop. The fresh fish counter is the main draw.
Wanpo Tea Shop (B1)
Taiwanese milk tea chain with a wide menu including fruit teas, fresh milk tea, and cheese foam series. Reliable queue during peak hours — order ahead if available on delivery apps.
Mister Donut (B1 kiosk)
Japanese doughnut chain operating as a kiosk in the basement. A smaller selection than a full outlet, but the pon de ring variants are the signature item. Good for a quick snack.
Retail
Love Bonito (L1/L2)
Singapore’s home-grown women’s fashion brand. One of the larger Love Bonito outlets in the east, with frequent in-store promotions. Popular with residents in the 25–40 demographic.
Don Don Donki (L1–L3)
The multi-floor Don Don Donki (Japanese discount retailer PPIH’s Singapore format) is one of the strongest retail draws at Tampines 1. Stocks Japanese snacks, cosmetics, household goods, fresh foods, apparel, and electronics at competitive prices. The fresh and chilled section overlaps with Kuriya but is lower price point. Open later than most retailers.
MUJI (L2)
Full-format MUJI with apparel, stationery, household goods, and food products. The Tampines 1 outlet is one of the more complete MUJI stores in the east — stock tends to be broader than smaller MUJI kiosk formats at other malls.
Daiso (L3)
Full-size Daiso with the standard $2 and multi-price format. Consistently busy — useful for household essentials, storage solutions, stationery, and kitchen items. A practical stop for residents moving in or restocking.
Challenger (#04-24)
Electronics and tech accessories retailer. Stocks phones, tablets, peripherals, cables, and accessories. Useful for residents who need tech items without travelling to Sim Lim or a larger electronics hub.
Sephora (L1/L2)
Full-format Sephora with the complete product range including skincare, makeup, fragrance, and haircare. Regular promotions and loyalty programme offers.

Tampines 1 Opening Hours

Mall hours: 10:00 am – 10:00 pm, daily (including public holidays).
Anchor tenant exceptions:
- Cold Storage — 8:00 am to 10:00 pm daily

Payment & Discounts at Tampines 1
- PayNow / PayLah! / GrabPay / credit cards: Accepted at most tenants. Contactless payment is the default at Cold Storage, Sephora, MUJI, and all major F&B outlets.
- CDC Vouchers (Community Development Council): Accepted at Cold Storage and select tenants — look for the CDC Vouchers accepted sticker at the point of sale. Cold Storage is the primary CDC-accepting outlet in the mall.
- CapitaStar (CapitaLand malls loyalty programme): Tampines 1 is a CapitaLand mall. Earn and redeem CapitaStar points across most tenants. The CapitaStar app lets you scan receipts and track rewards. Points can be redeemed for CapitaVouchers usable across the CapitaLand mall network.

What to Expect — Honest Notes
- Weekday mornings are the best time to visit. Cold Storage and Kuriya Japanese Market are fully stocked and nearly empty before 11:00 am on weekdays. The bakery section at fieldnotes is freshest before noon.
- L4 dinner queues are real. TANYU consistently draws 30–60 minute waits on Friday and Saturday evenings after 7:00 pm. Tim Ho Wan is similarly busy on weekend mornings. If you are dining at L4 on a weekend, either arrive before 6:30 pm or be prepared to queue or wait for a notification via their queue system.
- Don Don Donki is noisier and more chaotic than the rest of the mall. This is by design — the loud music and dense product placement is intentional. If you are sensitive to sensory overload, go during off-peak hours or enter with a specific shopping list.
- Parking fills on weekend afternoons. The B1/B2 carpark reaches capacity between roughly 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays during peak periods. Tampines Mall carpark next door is the practical fallback.
- The covered walkway to Tampines Mall and Century Square is on L2. It is not obvious from the L1 entrance — go up one level and follow the signs for Tampines Mall. The walk takes about 3 minutes under cover.
- No food court. If you want a hawker-style meal with a wide variety of stalls at affordable prices, you need to go to Our Tampines Hub Hawker Centre (10-minute walk) or Century Square’s food court. Tampines 1 does not have a kopitiam or hawker-style food court.
- Cold Storage opens at 8:00 am. This makes it the earliest-opening grocery option in the Tampines MRT cluster — useful if you need to pick up groceries before work. Kuriya Japanese Market is also a morning option for fresh fish. The mall itself opens at 10:00 am, but B1 access via the carpark entrance is available from 8:00 am.
