3 things make bak kut teh here so good 1) soup , peppery but tasty and full with aroma 2) the meat is good, boil perfectly 3) rice very fragrance with high quality that match the soup .

Shermin Wu

Branding and marketing of this place damn good. Service ultra quick and attentive to refill soup . Food itself is overrated, it is one of the best ones but at this price point, not spectacular.

Travel + Leisure

Plenty of shops sell bak kut teh—a pork-rib soup that’s the ultimate hangover cure—but this version has extra-tender ribs and a long-simmered broth. More places to eat like a local: tandl.me/12ufz7c

Probably the best Bak Kut Teh in Singapore , the peppery hot soup totally soothes my throat and tummy everytime I patronize the stall. Just perfect to end the day with the soup !

I like the Founder's BKT and Pig 's Trotter are the best here, but don't come eat alone...too much haha

Thomasina Owch

I fell in love with the food and I do have quite good relationship with the "bouncers". Try BaKuTeh ribs+Pork Leg with soya sauce and you shall live in prosperity. Viva la bakuteh !

Sherine L

I'm like having pepper bak kut teh . Other dishes are all tasteless.

Rebecca Chin

Disappointing and definitely over rated. Soup was so peppery it felt more like pepper soup not bak kut teh ! Would prefer the claypot version in Joo Chiat Road (with red signboard) anytime hands down

Dennis Tan

Don't get table outside .

Alycat 

Too peppery, it spoils the taste. Prefer the Kai Jun one down the road , it's just as efficient and cheaper. Only thing is that it's not air-conditioned.

Yohanes Tan Alexei

Real taste of bakut.....

Sanyu Hesselink

Best I've ever eaten.

Melvin Chong

Famous celeb come here to eat... Must eat

Wong Ji Siang
