New Bahru announces 15 new tenants, including Sushiro, Dumpling Darlings, Beams, and Stacked Store. Exact opening dates will be revealed between end-April and early May 2025, expanding the lifestyle hub's retail and dining offerings.
New Bahru Just Got a Whole Lot More Interesting
If you thought New Bahru had already hit its stride, think again. The heritage-meets-modern lifestyle destination along New Bridge Road is about to welcome 15 brand-new tenants, and the lineup reads like a weekend planner's dream. From Japanese fashion to handcrafted dumplings to conveyor belt sushi, this next wave of openings is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated retail and dining drops in Singapore this year. Whether you're a foodie, a fashion lover, or just someone who enjoys a well-curated afternoon out, there's something here with your name on it.
New Bahru has been quietly building a reputation as one of Singapore's most thoughtfully designed mixed-use spaces since its launch. Spread across a cluster of restored shophouses, the development has always leaned into the idea that shopping, eating, and hanging out shouldn't feel like three separate activities. This latest batch of tenants only deepens that vision, adding texture and variety to a space that already punches well above its weight.
Who's Moving In? Meet the New Tenants
The headliners are hard to ignore. Sushiro, the beloved Japanese conveyor belt sushi chain with a cult following across Asia, is finally making its mark at New Bahru. Known for its affordable, high-quality nigiri and creative seasonal specials, Sushiro brings serious dining credibility to the mix. Expect queues — this one is going to be popular from day one.
Dumpling Darlings, a local favourite known for its playful take on classic dumplings, is another standout addition. Their handcrafted parcels — think juicy pork and chive, or creative fusion fillings — have earned a devoted following at their existing locations. A New Bahru outpost means even more accessibility for fans in the River Valley and Chinatown corridor. Meanwhile, Japanese lifestyle and fashion label Beams brings its signature blend of elevated basics and Tokyo-cool aesthetics, sitting comfortably alongside Stacked Store, the homegrown streetwear label that's been quietly becoming a staple in Singapore's fashion scene.

When Can You Actually Go?
Here's the honest answer: not quite yet, but very soon. The management team at New Bahru has confirmed that exact opening dates for the new tenants will be announced between end-April and early May 2025. That means you've got just enough time to clear your schedule and plan your first visit. Given how quickly New Bahru's previous openings filled up on weekends, going on a weekday for the first few weeks is genuinely good advice.
The staggered announcement approach is a smart move — it keeps the buzz building rather than dumping everything at once. Follow New Bahru's social channels closely if you want first-mover advantage on reservations, especially for Sushiro, which is almost certain to have a waitlist the moment it opens its doors.
