Favourite always the Claypot yong tofu ! Of course all their food are really great make you feel how the 70's Chinatown street food supposed to be

Ting

Indeed a good Tze char with wok hei! Teochew steam fishhead and hor fun is tasty and cooked just right. Chicken in claypot on other hand though flavorful, is overcooked and hard.

Johnny Wang

(4.5/5) A slightly pricy , cash-only restaurant serving up a bevy of local Singaporean dishes. Get there earlier as popular dishes sell out, but absolutely be sure to try the prawn bee hoon/hor fun!

Daniel Grayson

Love the prawns . Love the claypot . Go with your friend, Kueng, and he'll make sure you order delicious things.

Ann Tu

The dinner here is definitely comforting! Love it! Didn't manage to try the legendary prawn noodles though! Will make sure I do it next time!!

Luisa Li

Big prawn ho fun and yong tau foo claypot are my favourites. I can't order anything else because they're too good to miss out on :)

Dora Choo

I used to love their big prawn sang meen. was the most amazing but now since the Michelin status, quality has plunged! Oversalted, noodles were broken after frying(?),no fireworks !will not be back!

Ann Tu

Love the dinner here! Super crowded and their food is so comforting! Didn't manage to try to legendary prawns noodles but I will make sure I try the next round!

Drew Graham

Yum! Exceptional and varied local food. Holding its own against the new pretentious tenants that surround it.

Cheen The Curious

Opens at 12pm. Many fans queue up prior to get choice seats for their group size. There’s another dining room besides this

Wen Wong

The big prawn hor fun is f#cking life changing. Big sloppy prawny umami slippery brothy goodness. Just get it lah. Actually all their hor funs are good.

Jonathan Lim

Big prawn hor fun is seriously damn yummy! #legit

Ann Tu

Love the food! Very comforting. A bit sad that we didn't get to try the legendary big prawn mee hoon. Will definitely be back!!

huieee

The famous Big prawn noodle ! ???????????????????????? yum.. not too spicy & full of flavor ????

Travel + Leisure

For lunch , Kok Sen serves an incredible prawn noodle soup made with spicy sambal belacan (be sure to book ahead).

Ai Wei Lua

Gotta love the (add your preferred flavour) Hor Fun here, done to smoky, caramelised perfection drizzled in an eggy, hearty sauce. Pair with chilli padi for a spicy kick into gastronomic heaven!

Shannon Low

Prawn sang meen is delicious, really amazing sauce. Claypot yong tau foo is also a specialty.

Cheen The Curious

You may be first in the queue but they won’t seat you unless the complete group is present. Remind your guests to be punctual

Torzin S

Shrimp Hor Fun and Claypot Yong To Fu are the must

minzyiii

The food is very good, wokhei for the prawn horfun is yums!!! Order rice to go with the sauce

Eugenia Marett

The har hor fun is delicious and the soup is absolute prawn divine!

C. L.

Must try the big prawn bee hoon , beef hor fun and sang har mee. Their other cze char items are also gd. Two thumbs up!

William Ng

Fried frog is not overly-done with a great marinade . Moist and meaty

Sue Ling Ng

The prawn ee-mee is so flavorful. The steamed pork mince with salted prawn is chunky unami heaven.

Kenneth Wong

Although the long waiting time, yong tau fu and sang har mee is a must try here.

Song

Big Prawn Hor Fun is DAMN SHIOK

Sikander Lhote

is famous for its wok-fried hor fun . ask for suggestions or order the claypot yong tau foo

Dora Choo

The Claypot Yong Taufu was the savior of the night... other than that... everything else was so-so. But still so crowded ... ppl there for the Michelin status?

Ting

Tasty indeed but very thirsty thereafter. Is it overdose of MSG or what?!!

Marjorie C

Definitely get the prawn hor fun and the fried chicken !

Janie Chua

Their prawn paste chicken is tasty but a tad on the salty side

K B

Bib gourmand serving Cantonese zi char food - beef with spring onions or hor fun

Nicolette Soh

Their Ha Cheong Kai Chicken is awesome! A must-try. Other good choices would be the steamed spinach and hor fun .

Dora Choo

Kung bao frogs was ok too but no depth in taste. Frogs were fresh!

Cheen The Curious

Barley drink is not home-cooked. Take note

Notti Kuromi

Big prawn hor fun is really good! Claypot yong tou fu is so-so, somee pieces were cold in fact. Crispy roast chicken is not bad.

Jane Tok

Food is fresh and tasty. Though the place can be a little tight and rowdy but the food eaten will be worth it!

Sapasapa Chai

If u like Cantonese chi chay this is the place

Soo Ian

Food is tasty. But avoid coming on peak hours. Service is extreme slow, poor and with long wait . In the end 2 out of 3 dishes we ordered was not available and they end up getting our last order wrong.

A S

One of the best local dishes in town

They only accept cash but you can draw money from the 7/11 opposite.
