Samantha Thong
Very good experience dining here. Service is good, the ambience of restaurant is very cozy and great for dinner gathering with friends and family. The raw marinated seafood is not bad, we tried oysters, cockles, Australian lobster, all pretty decent. Also ordered bbq yellow shell crab however the roe isn’t that fantastic given the price is not very low. Red grouper congee was also not bad, not the kind of Cantonese congee but more to teochew kind, with addition of dongcai. Total spending was $520 for 6 adults and 2 kids.

Came on a Friday evening and was impressed with their food and drinks- esp their marinated crab, squid sausage and cockles! Hard to find a good marinated crab in Singapore. Oh, their char kway teow wok hei was good too! Prices were not cheap, about $110/ pax (we had 4 of us) but I guess with crab and drinks , it’s reasonable!
Serene Teo
I never thought that I would be able to have such authentic Chinese food in Singapore, especially when it came to the raw marinated crabs… But who knew I would find a gem in such a place! Fantastic food with amazing service from the staff… We even brought along a Mainland Chinese friend who was shocked at the quality and the authenticity of the food. The total damage to your wallet may not be a small amount, but considering the quality, the taste, the presentation as well as the service of this place, I think everything is well worth it. This place is really beyond impressive. We will definitely be coming back again.

You know an eatery is serious about its food standards when your order of mixed fish soup is served with the fried fish in a separate bowl to prevent it from getting too soggy. The fresh fish slices are really fresh. The succulent chunks are plump and glistening, almost a bit hard to pick up with chopsticks. Good as the fresh fish slices may be, the star is truly the fried fish. The batter is amazingly crispy yet light, with a nice chewiness. The fish used is surprisingly fresh! With most other fish soup eateries, the fried fish is made from left over fish that cannot be used as is. Not at this joint! Also, I find a certain fragrant seafood savouriness in the batter. I think there may be prawn bits mixed into it. The milky soup base is also quite delicious and not too salty. It has lots of fried egg bits, seaweed, cabbage, and ginger slices so thin that they are translucent! I’ll definitely come back for the fish soup again!

Located on the second floor of block 7 just right beside the hawker Centre. Ordered the red grouper steamboat, prawn paste chicken and prawn roll. Everything was excellent. Soup was sweet and flavorful. Didn’t felt thirsty after drinking. Satisfied all our cravings. Bosses are extremely helpful as well. Tip: add additional bitter gourd.
Mason Tay
Truly authentic Teo Chew style cuisine in a not too prestigious ambience. The food and presentation blends with the environment in this area. Honestly the food was superb and salty as “Teo Chew” as its culture. The spiced Prawn roll, Nanru pork belly and fish head curry were well above our expectations in every aspects!! Thank you Teo Chew Kitchenette Chefs and the great effort put in!!

Food was awesome although the restaurant located under a hub void deck.. Our family loves the food here and food quality really surpass than my family standard for FnB as we’re in the FnB business for 40-50yrs. We’ll be back again to here for the dinner again.
Sky Seow
Just had a birthday dinner celebration at Chin Lee Restaurant. It was my first time there and it will never be the last! Before deciding on Chin Lee, we were actually aiming for a Teochew Restaurant that can serve proper Orh Nee (Yam Paste). We were searching online and saw photos and reviews on Chin Lee’s Orh Nee. With so many nice reviews, we were still sceptical as we have a ‘standard’ for a good Orh Nee, but still decided to give it a try. True to all the reviews, the food and Orh Nee have good standards! I must say it’s a pretty well kept, passed down restaurant from one generation to the next. Quality is good, quantity is fair and price is reasonable! We have 8 people and ordered 11 dishes, ranging from small to medium size dishes to try, as it’s all our first time, so we just want to try as many dishes as possible! 🤭 Look at the pictures to be WOW by the food. We spent over $380, for 8 pax, 11 dishes, I think it’s a good deal! Check out their food if you are looking for authentic Teochew cuisine. Limited indoor seating, so call to book in advance. Their staffs over the phone are very friendly too. As we were caught in jam, called them to inform we will be late and they happily agree to hold on to our table. Thank you Chin Lee. My family had an enjoyable dinner and birthday celebration with you. PS: 11 dishes ~$280, with service charge and taxes, bill adds up to $380. Happy to pay for the service charges, attentive staffs to bring us refillable hot tea and serve our food and offered to split up to smaller bowls for some of the dishes.
Melissa Leong
Great establishment to have meals with your extended families, the dishes were cooked well and suit most palates. We finished the food before we could even take photos! We had the coffee pork ribs, sweet and sour fish, seafood rolls with salad and kai lan with flat fish. Liked that the s&s fish did not have a thick coat of batter. The coffee pork ribs always tasted good. Sad that they did not serve their oyster omelette on Sunday. The yam paste with pumpkin we had at the end was a sheer delight, love the pumpkin and water chestnut combi. The staff were very kind and prompt.

I don’t usually write reviews, but my lunch experience was great, and exceeded expectations I had for Jumbo restaurants. Service was top-notch, and the staff were very attentive and accommodating, and the ambience was despite being seated in the open space dining hall. The dish that stood out the most was the spinach tofu, which even had a wok-hey to the accompanying mushrooms. The fermented bean chicken also had a relatively unique taste that we appreciated. A small shout-out to Ms Eva who was attending to our table and ensuring our experience was as pleasant as possible.
Alan Morghan
Reserved a private room for Mother’s Day. Absolutely great experience with karaoke 🎤 complimentary to it. Will need a minimum spending but food, service and ambience is totally worth it. Throughout the meal, the waitress service was top notch and have all dinners in her view, and also ensuring the kids are well looked after. All the food we ordered the quality were BEYONG our expectation. The karaoke session was so good. They have almost every song title in the compilation. I will return again for sure when there is another big family gathering. By the way they were able tonput all 13 of us in one table and we have enough room on our left and right and eat comfortably. Highly recommended Teo chew food. Dessert is a must order.
Joyce Lee
Very fresh seafood cuisine available here that was not listed here to recommend . Lobster 🦞 is the most sustainably dish. From sashimi, to cook broth soup turn rice porridge. This helps a big group that have different taste palette to savory lobster at its best presentation methods of cooking. One of the crab dish cooked with sautéed garlic style was rather unique as well, never get to this method of cooking 👍🏽.

Daniu Chaoshan Seafood’s dishes are so delicious. Every dish is on point. I love the pickled crabs, hand-baked beef balls, braised goose, especially the oyster eggs. I have never eaten such a big and fresh oyster omelette. It’s a perfect dish. Must recommend.
T Tan
I am 100% Teochew and my grand parents are both from Swatow. Legit place with mainly regular customers. $380 nett for 4 pax dinner (no alcohol) . All dishes are tasty with the sole exception of the pre-order Bamboo shoot duck.. Overall flavours tasted weird to our taste buds – and duck was very dry…. Outstanding dishes that I would come back for again are :
– Goose meat – very subtle unique taste!
– Beef balls – superb flavour!
– Garlic steamed squid – superb gravy!
– Orh Nee – interesting orange color with plenty of crunchy water chestnut.
Vera Koh
My visit here was such a mind blowing one, and definitely the best chinese meal I’ve had in 2023! The must get is the tofu fish omelette which I don’t think you can find elsewhere in Singapore. THAT SILKY TOFU FISH omg… tasted like cod fish and the amount of fish is literally almost the entire omelette 👌 super underrated restaurant which I’ll totally recommend to everyone to come try!

Pria Rao
EVERYTHING we ate here was absolutely DELICIOUS! The buns with egg yolk were out of this world. The buns with bbq pork was incredible too. The eggplant with pork floss was delicious too. In short – there was nothing we had here that was “not good”. 10/10 for sure.
Florence Leow
….🩷 The dimsum here is absolutely fabulous, and the service is top notch. We will be back again. 🤎 I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants good quality dimsum and a nice ambience.
Sandy Ng
We made a reservation for a Lohei dinner. The restaurant was expectantly packed during the CNY period. We were ushered to our seats swiftly though we turned up a little too early. We ordered lohei (Teochew style) our first – it differs from the usual we had. It consisted on lettuce, deep fried yam sticks, shredded carrots, ginger, pomelo, leek, sliced cucumbers, starfruit, celery, whole cashews, grind peanuts, sesame seeds and instead of salmon or abalone, they used sotong. It wasn’t the usual lohei fare and we enjoyed it all the same though we felt shortchanged for using sotong (8.5/10). The crispy golden tofu was yumz (9/10) – simple, fuss-free and delicious. Deep fried eggplant with porkfloss (9/10) was another comfort food we had, it helps that the dish wasn’t oily and they were generous with the porkfloss as well. We also had Stir-fried ‘Hor Fun’ with US Marbled Beef (10/10) the beef was tender and juicy. You can taste the ‘wok-hey’ of the hor fun – sumptuous!! For dessert, we all ordered Mashed Yam with Gingko (7.5/10 aka Orh Nee). Perhaps our expectations from a Teochew eatery that this dish cannot go wrong – it was a tad too dry and kinda disappointing. Nonetheless, the service was commendable during the insane CNY peak and the food was great!!

I was dining alone so I only ordered four dishes, and the braised duck and minced meat were stellar. The braised duck was super tender and flavourful, and went really well with the chili they provide. The minced meat dish was slightly spicy and had a nice savoury taste from the bean sauce, which went really well with the porridge. I thought the hae bee hiam could have been spicier, but I appreciated that they had lard bits within which is quite old school and satisfying. The otah was good value with a lot of fish meat, but the flavour I thought was quite average. Service was really good and friendly too, and the place is very clean.

I recently tried their Steam Whole Promfret Fish, and it was a highlight of the meal – fresh, delicious, and well worth the price. The Fried Long Bean and Salted Vegetables were perfectly seasoned, while the Braised Lor Bak melted in my mouth with its tender texture. The Steamed Oath was a nice addition, adding a touch of variety to the meal. And let’s not forget about their Plain Porridge – hot, soft, and comforting. Overall, the taste was exceptional, and I left feeling fully satisfied. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Teochew porridge!🐟🍲🌟They open till 3am daily. Seat is limited.

Comfort food in the heart of the Neighbourhood. Tried the duck, tofu, sour vegetables and brinjal. Perfect combination. There was a queue at the stall despite being at 4pm. Limited amount of seats in the area.
