Restaurant is on the Second floor of Bishan Junction 8.
Had a great meal - pork knuckle is on spot and glad that it’s all nicely sliced for us.
Love the pasta dishes as well.
Overall is very nice meal. Service was prompt and glad they allowed us a corner seat.

Nice but a little pricey.
Had the mushroom soup which came with a hot loaf of bread (see picture) and the Oktoberfest platter which has a good spread of sausages and pork knuckle meat.
Recommended if you want a decent place to talk and to impress your gf/bf if you’re paying.

Managed to walk-in on valentine's day and food was surprisingly good. Very generous portion and we kind of over ordered but managed to finish everything!
Loved the hazelnut cake too. Will revisit again.

First time try this restaurant as couple
If you’re in the mood for hearty Western fare with a focus on well-executed dishes, Ambush Western is worth a visit. Their menu offers a range of European-inspired classics, and the star of my meal was their Grilled Salmon.
The salmon was cooked to my liking, with a beautifully crispy skin and tender, flaky flesh. It was served with a creamy dill sauce that elevated the dish, complementing the natural flavors of the fish without overpowering it.
Service was efficient and friendly, and the casual, welcoming atmosphere made for an enjoyable dining experience. While the pricing is slightly above average for a casual eatery, the quality of the food justifies the cost.
Overall, Ambush Western delivers delicious, thoughtfully prepared dishes, with the Grilled Salmon being a standout recommendation. It’s a great spot for a casual yet satisfying meal.

Loved the oktoberfest platter especially the pork knuckle with the sauerkraut... totally a hit!!
Kid loved the truffle & pancetta risotto and Pancetta Carbonara linguine, both loved the creamy taste and the truffle is empowering the risotto that make you non stop.
The tater tots is crispy fried but sadly with too little sauce on it.

Good cafe food. Order was done online and the service speed was surprising fast. At abt 8min, food is served despite with a 90% table seat rate. Overall, very pleased. Maybe a little lighter in salt into your food will make it better.

As one of the most enduring tenants at Bishan Junction 8, Ambush has cemented its place as a reliable choice for European-inspired cuisine. While the quality of its à la carte dishes is consistently commendable, the pricing can feel a bit steep for a casual mall setting. The real highlight, however, is their lunch set, which is remarkably well-priced and includes a complimentary drink or soup, offering fantastic value. This attractive deal understandably draws a significant crowd, so be prepared for a bustling atmosphere during peak lunch hours.

Ordered the US Angus Beef steak but was disappointed—it tasted more like a boiled steak with some grill marks thrown on. Lacked flavour completely. The churros dip also missed the mark, reminding me of a cheap Nutella knockoff. That said, I did notice the pasta at another table looked pretty appetising. Maybe this place just isn’t meant for steak. Might give the pasta a shot if I ever pass by again.
Manager was friendly and polite.

Verdict
food
1. Oxtail meat is soft and full of flavour
2. Sausage and pork kunckle platter - meat is salty, dried ( seem fried for few time), serving portion is small even though food is pricier
3. Salmon and langsene . The cheese Layer langsene mix and sauté are weird . Taste are not uniform
Customer Service is poor can be improved
4. Dining not finish , waiter took away the culinary container and keep one side for new coming diners
An average dining experience with lack of customer satisfaction
Total dining fee about $80++

- Tables are close to each other. Can hear each others' conversation.
- Food quality and hygiene is not good.
- Ordering and payment is done by oneself. Yet there's (10% service charge) AND (b) an additional minimum 3% tip!
