Question 1

What is Tempura Fuji?

Accepted Answer

Tempura Fuji is a unique Japanese tempura stall in the food court at Westgate Shopping Mall, Jurong East. The concept works like a yong tau foo stall: you pick individual tempura pieces from a display counter (20+ varieties, S$0.90 to S$3.90 each) and pair them with a base dish — rice, udon, soba, or curry. It is one of the most affordable ways to enjoy Japanese tempura and noodles in Singapore.

Question 2

How much does Tempura Fuji cost?

Accepted Answer

Tempura Fuji is extremely affordable. Base dishes range from S$1 (plain rice) to S$6.90 (beef rice bowl). Individual tempura pieces range from S$0.90 (sweet potato, pumpkin) to S$3.90 (chicken katsu). A typical meal of soba/udon + 3-4 tempura pieces costs S$7-10. A minimal meal with rice + 2 tempura can be as low as S$3-4. No service charge.

Question 3

Where exactly is Tempura Fuji at Westgate?

Accepted Answer

Tempura Fuji is in the food court area at Basement 1 of Westgate Shopping Mall, 3 Gateway Drive, Singapore 608532. Originally at Food Republic (#B1-28/29), it has since moved to the Food Junction area deeper inside the food court. From Jurong East MRT, take the escalator down to B1 and walk into the food court — look for the tempura display counter.

Question 4

How does ordering at Tempura Fuji work?

Accepted Answer

Ordering works like yong tau foo: (1) Take a plate from the counter. (2) Pick your tempura pieces from the display — each piece is individually priced with a label. (3) Go to the cashier counter and order your base dish (rice, udon, soba, curry, or beef bowl). (4) Pay, collect your base dish, and find a seat in the food court. Free-flow tempura crumbs (tenkasu) and dipping sauce are available at the side station.

Question 5

Is Tempura Fuji halal?

Accepted Answer

No, Tempura Fuji is not halal certified. The menu includes pork-based items and the fryer may be shared. For halal Japanese options at Westgate, visit Tokyo Shokudo at #03-09 (halal certified) or Fluff Stack at B1 (halal soufflé pancakes). In JEM, Sukiya and Pepper Lunch are halal certified.

Question 6

What are the best tempura choices at Tempura Fuji?

Accepted Answer

Based on multiple reviews: (1) Prawn tempura (S$1.90) — consistently the best item, often sells out by evening. (2) Sweet potato (S$0.90) — sweet and crispy, great value. (3) Chicken katsu (S$3.90) — generous portion, good crunch. (4) Kakiage (S$2.50) — mixed vegetable and seafood fritter. (5) Shiitake mushroom — juicy inside. Avoid items that look like they have been sitting too long, as pre-fried tempura loses crispiness over time.

Question 7

What are the opening hours of Tempura Fuji Westgate?

Accepted Answer

Tempura Fuji follows the food court hours at Westgate: open daily from approximately 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM (last order around 9:30 PM). Open 7 days a week including public holidays. No reservations needed — food court seating is shared and first-come-first-served.

Question 8

Is the soba at Tempura Fuji any good?

Accepted Answer

Surprisingly yes. Multiple food bloggers have called it one of the best affordable soba options in a food court setting. The cold soba (S$4.50) with onsen egg is particularly recommended — the buckwheat noodles are firm and the broth is well-balanced. The hot soba is also decent but less remarkable. For the best experience, order the cold soba and pair it with 2-3 tempura pieces. The broth can double as a dipping sauce for your tempura.

Question 9

Does Tempura Fuji have other outlets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Tempura Fuji operates stalls in several Food Republic and food court locations across Singapore, including 313@Somerset on Orchard Road. The Westgate outlet is one of the most established. The menu and pricing are generally consistent across outlets.

Question 10

How does Tempura Fuji compare to Akimitsu tendon?

Accepted Answer

Tempura Fuji and Akimitsu served different niches. Akimitsu (which has since closed at Westgate, replaced by Tokyo Shokudo) offered sit-down tendon (tempura rice bowls) at S$14.90+. Tempura Fuji is a food court stall offering pick-your-own tempura at S$0.90-3.90 per piece, paired with base dishes from S$1-6.90. Tempura Fuji is significantly cheaper and more customisable, but Akimitsu's batter was lighter and more refined. For tendon specifically, consider visiting Tendon Ginza Itsuki in other areas.
