Social Place Singapore is a contemporary Chinese restaurant on Orchard Road, describing its food as a modern, healthy and unique twist on Chinese cuisine. Set inside Forum the Shopping Mall, the restaurant markets itself as a 'blast from the past with a tantalising taste of modernity,' built around a retro-chic 1960s-style Hong Kong aesthetic with a touch of luxe. This Singapore outlet is described on the restaurant's own site as its first location in South East Asia, marking a new chapter for the brand.
Social Place serves lunch and dinner daily, with dim sum available up until its own earlier last order time in the evening. Beyond dine-in, the restaurant offers in-store takeaway (ordered by phone or WhatsApp), delivery through its own online ordering platform, and a dedicated contact line for corporate bookings and large group events, alongside table reservations through its online booking system.
This listing draws on Social Place's story, location, hours, and ordering options rather than a page listing individual dishes, so specific menu items weren't available in the content reviewed — their in-store takeaway menu and set menu pages are the place to check for exact dishes.
Social Place brings a retro-chic slice of 1960s Hong Kong to Orchard Road, describing itself as 'a blast from the past with a tantalising taste of modernity.' Set inside Forum the Shopping Mall, the restaurant's Singapore outlet is described on its own site as the brand's first location in South East Asia — a new chapter for a concept that leans into nostalgic style with a modern, healthy approach to Chinese food.
Social Place positions its food as contemporary Chinese cuisine with a modern, healthy and unique twist — a description that runs consistently across the restaurant's own materials. Dim sum is a core part of the offering, served with its own dedicated last order time in the evening, distinct from the general dinner service, suggesting it's treated as a specific part of the experience rather than an afterthought.
The restaurant's aesthetic is a deliberate part of its identity. Drawing on 1960s Hong Kong style with what the restaurant calls 'a touch of luxe,' Social Place's own description nods playfully to the mood of classic Hong Kong cinema, aiming for a setting that feels distinct from typical contemporary Chinese restaurants in Singapore.
Beyond dine-in service, Social Place makes itself accessible in a few different ways. Customers can order in-store takeaway by calling or messaging the restaurant directly on WhatsApp, or arrange delivery through the restaurant's own online ordering platform. For larger occasions, a dedicated sales contact handles corporate bookings and large group dining, separate from the general reservations line, which is useful for anyone planning an event rather than a standard table booking.
Social Place operates daily, with lunch service from 11am to 3:30pm (last orders at 3pm) and dinner from 5:30pm to 9:30pm (last orders at 9pm). Dim sum has its own last order cutoff at 7:30pm, so anyone specifically after dim sum should plan to visit earlier in the evening rather than right before closing.
Social Place is located at 583 Orchard Road, within Forum the Shopping Mall, at unit #01-22. Reservations can be made online through the restaurant's booking system, and the team can also be reached directly by phone for takeaway orders or general enquiries. For those planning a corporate event or a larger group booking, a separate email contact is available to handle those arrangements specifically.
While the specific dishes on Social Place's menu weren't part of the content reviewed for this listing, the restaurant maintains its own in-store takeaway and set menu pages where the current offerings can be checked directly — a natural next stop for anyone deciding what to order before a visit or takeaway run.
