    Another big mall off orchard street. plenty to explore, shop and eat. A seemingly endless maze of escalators takes you where you want to be.

  • 4/5 Soo Hin Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Designed by DP Architects at the site of former Orchard Road open air car park, the industrial looking Orchard Central opened in 2009 with 12 floors above ground and 2 basement levels. Home to the 24/7 DON DON DONKI and UNIQLO’s flagship stall, there are many unique shops and restaurants in this mall but no luxury brands like at Takashimaya, Paragon or ION. Unlike traditional mall designs, a central atrium is omitted and this is really confusing and difficult to locate shops. It also features a "super escalator", which takes pedestrians on the street level directly up to Level 4. The mall is served by a total of 52 escalators (including 6 super escalators) and 12 glass elevators.

    Orchard Central is one of my favourite shopping malls go-to, sightsee and/or window shop. It is highly accessible by MRT, bus or just walking down from orchard road. There are many large shops such as the flagship Uniqlo (selling freshly cut flowers) and the big Hey Tea available. Cannot miss the local market pop-up stalls. Some opens on weekends while some opens on weekdays.

    Haven't been here for about seven years - and wow, the place had really changed. On a Saturday afternoon, the young and trendy thronged the ground floor. Cart sellers compete for teen dollars. Cafes of all shapes and sizes welcomed the well-heeled. 24-hour Donki and a huge Uniglo were all we could cover after lunch. Gone are the rock climbing wall. Good. Irrespective, the place rocks

    A food paradise mall with so many buffet restaurants - Tung Lok, Kiseki, Ban Heng, Shabu Sai and many others all in one mall. The Shabu Sai outlet here also offers a value meal for $9.99++ on weekday lunch which is not available in most other outlets. I like the unique elevator lifts here which are made of glass that enable you to see through. There is also a very long escalator in this building which takes you from L4 to L7. (see attached photo) Not many people dared to take this escalator because it stretches so long and it is overlooking the outside of the building. It is actually quite a daunting experience.

    Unfortunately Yayoi Kusama's artworks were already removed. The mall is occupied by Donki Donki, Tokyu Hands, Hokkaido Marche, which are there fir several years, and the rest of vendor often come and go.

    A relatively busy mall at the first level on a Monday night in the orchard road area. It still carries a fresh vibe at the first level area despite being around for a few years now. Maybe because Somerset MRT station is just at its basement. The restaurants at the basement looks very quiet though. Conveniently situated beside orchard road and somerset road so served by a couple of buses as well.

    Always decorated according to the season and events. It is convenient to go to from Somerset MRT. Not very easy for a first timer but still manageable. At least Google maps is working even from B1.

    Xscape8 at level 7 : Great service and family or kids friendly place for our little one and ourselves. Quite a lot to engage in while spending quality time with friends or family. we went to Xscap8 on level 7 after eating and shopping. We did noticed they serve good looking pizzas, pasta , other western foods and many drinks. They have lactosefree coffee for my preference. The five stars was gaven to how clean they kept the place and the service on grounds by their staffs was genuinely warm and welcoming.

    It's been years since I last step foot into this Mall. I was totally shocked to the see the Mall and all the outlets inside. What a change or am I missing something? Most of the outlets there looked really stunning! Will give it a try soon. The Mall is strategically located next to Somerset MRT Station.

    A crowded place connected via nearest somerset MRT and adjacent to another popular mall 313. Many shopping and dining places to explore. Evenings and weekends could be very crowded. Watch some live performances during this festive season in the common area.

  • 4/5 Gary N. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite a place with Japanese mega mart like Don don don ki, some famous restaurants at upper levels such as TungLok, genki sushi, dancing crab, Uniqlo etc. lack of those usual home retails like metro, Robinsons kind so naturally it’s more suitable for young people I presume ya.

    Orchard central is conveniently linked together with 313, orchard gateway , centerpoint (from basement) it’s like a little enclave of orchard on it’s own. Orchard central has a large UNIQLO, few storeys of clothing to shop. Many eateries like Japanese sushi, set meals, fast food Mexican, chicken wings , cafes etc for coffee cakes etc. there’s also a huge Japanese supermarket with food court and affordable bar. The layout of orchard central is abit confusing. The top floors are not very well known but there’s many restaurants too. Due to linkage to other neighboring orchard malls, and hotel, this is a very well linked location with all kinds of shopping - clothing, shoes, pharmacies, hair salon, gym, dance studio etc

    We tried the Kyoto Matcha Milk Espuma Shaved Ice (good to share between 2-3 pax) – made using green tea from Kyoto. Do note that the texture of the ice is slightly coarse, closer to that of a Japanese kakigori than a Korean bingsu. -foodgem .sg

  • 4/5 ray c. 2 years ago on Google
    Orchard central is a great shopping mall for beauty services and good food. Many shops that offer different services such as brows, facial, dental and more. Good food such as, Korean BBQ, hotpot, and many more. Nice place and environment even has a garden at the top to chill and relax. Good place to walk around and interconnected to 313 somerset and orchard gateway with more shops.

  • 4/5 Christopher Q. 2 years ago on Google
    Super narrow shopping mall but it is pretty to explore. You should go up the many levels and see many hole in the wall concept restaurants. It is worth visiting and exploring.

  • 1/5 roott7 2 years ago on Google
    ok lah but too quiet

  • 4/5 Junel L. 10 months ago on Google
    Very crowded on Sunday. If you are planning to have a quick bite of Filipino delicacies and buy some Philippines grocery items, this is the place to go. Visit the place during weekdays to avoid the crowd.

  • 5/5 Hua M. 2 years ago on Google
    Serb SingTel is at O-, you can cut across to Orchard Gateway to 313 . Lovely stretch of malls

  • 4/5 Moses P. 1 year ago on Google
    The mall is clean and modern with plenty of retail shops and eateries. However, it is lacked of local food. It is so close to Somerset MRT, so easy to find. Overall, it is worth to visit.

  • 3/5 Ryan P. 10 months ago on Google
    Shopping center with some good food options. However the architecture is really bad especially if you want to go to the upper floors. Very confusing Here’s the diagram for going up to lvl 11 TungLok Seafood

  • 5/5 Peter L. 11 months ago on Google
    Great mall, however quite long shaped and less interesting inside. Has a great 3 floor Uniqlo, 24hrs biggest Don Donkey, great central located next to sommerset and connecting with rest 313 mall and rest of Orchard.

    A modern place with lots of delicious food and fashion. Many teenagers and tourist alike roam this beautiful shopping center. It is hype and clean.

  • 5/5 Keson L. 3 years ago on Google
    Cuteness overload at the new Rilakkuma x Kumoya Cafe on Level 4. Very well executed themed cafe.

  • 4/5 Matt C. 3 years ago on Google
    Has a nice Japanese themed food court in the basement near Don Don Donkey with a few options to choose from - weekday quiet lunch. Clean and well presented and decent prices for the quality and portion sizes

  • 5/5 Warrior Y. 3 years ago on Google
    The mall has everything you need and want. From retails to restaurants. Do maintain social distancing though as it might be crowded from time to time.

  • 3/5 Jonathan O. 3 years ago on Google
    One of several popular malls in the Orchard road area. Has a wide variety of shops but layout of upper floors are confusing and can get easily disoriented. Worth a visit as it is seamlessly linked to three adjacent malls

  • 5/5 Jacky G. 3 years ago on Google
    Convenient location. I have few food shops here as favourites.. you can shop good stuff here too

  • 4/5 Isaac Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Kiseki Japanese buffet. Quality of food is not bad, however need to wait a while for food. Reservation highly recommended

  • 3/5 pianized 3 years ago on Google
    One of the shopping malls situated in the vicinity of Somerset MRT station. Historically, the place has been relatively quiet compared to the neighbouring malls until recently when more F&Bs were added. There are still plenty of empty retail spaces because of rapid turn around. Layout of the mall can be very confusing. Connects to 313 Somerset and Orchard Gateway mall.

  • 4/5 Lynn G. 3 years ago on Google
    Connected to Orchard gateway and Somerset 313. Due to covid, it's a bit confusing the navigate around the mall as not all the entrance are open, hence, you'd need to find alternative route. There are many F&Bs on the top few levels (Level 8 and Level 7) and there are games and shopping on the lower levels. Overall a nice mall with interesting interior design.

  • 5/5 Joshua O. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Denise C. 3 years ago on Google
    Nothing much for senior citizens.went there because of discount given at Marche after 8.30pm

  • 1/5 N Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Temperature screening was ongoing at the entrance when I visited there due to COVIT 19. Even if the thermometer seemed to be wrong, the staff there didn't care about it. The body temperature was only 32.4 when the staff checked mine, which is impossible temperature as an ordinary human being. I'm wonder if they really check the thermometer or just stand there though that's quite important role.

  • 4/5 Simon 3 years ago on Google
    Went there for Uniqlo to get some stuff and was considering having a cup of coffee at Coffeebean Tea & Leaf Cafe, well this mall got the Japan ish look and expect things will be expensive here too, so for experience it is pretty alright to me?

  • 5/5 sam s. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food and shopping more variety all in one centres

  • 3/5 Dora T. 4 years ago on Google
    It has some niche boutiques and restaurants and it's not as crowded as its neighbour Somerset 313 so the shopping experience is more pleasant. It's a bonus that the library is here. However I often get it mixed up with orchard gateway hence the 3 stars.

  • 5/5 Roman A. 3 years ago on Google
    This is one of the most popular shopping mall in Singapore. Very managed & clean

  • 4/5 Anna Marie A. 4 years ago on Google
    Mall layout a bit confusing, takes awhile to get around. Better look up directory. They have nice glass lifts though. Has some very good popular shops & restaurants/cafés as well as some not so popular but interesting ones. At least there's variety.

  • 5/5 Abdul Karim N. 3 years ago on Google
    Always nice to visit this Mall. Spacious and clean too ???

  • 5/5 Xavier Raphael C. 4 years ago on Google
    A beautiful, warm and an expensive place to be. Great place for strolling, shopping and exploring. What really keeps me back going here in Orchard Central Road is the diverse or wide variety of things to see, do and buy. Such as see beautiful monuments and buildings, do activities and watch a movie or buy products such as Louis Vuitton or Apple Product.

    A cosy shopping mall. It's not so huge but has all the necessary amenities that are needed for householders. There are multiple businesses inside the mall. Be it food or shopping outlets. Wet and cold sections are usually well equipped for most items.
