Dine beside the sea
Think this place needs no introduction. Situated near Tuas Checkpoint is The Veil, a restaurant that makes you feel you’ve transported to Korea.
Browse and see what we ate! Overall a cosy and relaxed place but we may not specially make the trip down for a second time as JB has so much more gems to uncover!
👍Why I like it: ambience was perfect. Food quality was not decent. Only gripe was that portion was pretty small for such a hefty cost.

During my visit to The Veil, I found that the menu offers an intriguing variety of seafood and gourmet dishes with creative presentations. From the Salmon Tartare with sweet potato chips to the rich Lobster Bisque, each dish was thoughtfully crafted, highlighting fresh and high-quality ingredients. Although portions felt modest for the price, the flavors were vibrant and the ambience wonderfully relaxed, resembling a peaceful Korean dining experience. If you’re planning a trip, know that The Veil is conveniently located near Tuas Checkpoint, making it accessible for visitors crossing between Singapore and Johor Bahru (JB). It’s a great option if you enjoy seafood and fusion flavors but are also open to exploring other culinary gems in JB, as I found the city has many hidden treasures worth discovering. For those curious about the menu prices, flagship items like Wagyu Strip Steak and Lamb Rack are premium priced but come with well-executed gourmet touches like truffle sauces and couscous sides. I recommend pairing lighter starters such as the Torched Scallop Tart or Mushroom Arancini with a main, to get a balanced and satisfying meal experience. Overall, my impression is that while The Veil offers a pleasant dining environment and fascinating seafood dishes, it might be more of an occasional treat than a regular dining go-to due to the portion sizes and cost. But for a unique sea-inspired meal near Tuas, it’s definitely worth a visit.
