Reviews
The Singapore char siu reminds me of a famous dish back in hometown and it’s the closest I can find in the state at Kue’s. I love the tenderness and not oily fat part, which is very rare and hard to find in pork dishes.
Love the taishan style eel clay pot rice too, very big portions, we usually order when we just got to the restaurant because it takes a longer time to cook.
House chicken salad is not bad, i think it’s a bit fusion with the pickled ginger.
Sui chow king is another one that i like, especially the deep fried tarot with a lot of dried fish.
The servers are nice, they would help mixing and serving rices, soups etc.
1. The eel pot rice was a disaster. The eel had an overpowering wine flavor that made it taste bitter. I had to spit it out.
2. The BBQ pork, a staple of Chinese cuisine, was overcooked and chewy. It leaned slightly sweet, which was acceptable but not impressive.
3. The salted egg yolk shrimp was the only highlight (sadly). It had a good balanced of salty and umami flavors. The shrimp were fresh and perfectly cooked.
The atmosphere was confusing. The booths and tables suggested a more high-end vibe, but the bar and loud music felt out of place. Servers were attentive and replaced our plates promptly.
Overall, this restaurant isn’t the place for good authentic Chinese food.
I got the crispy calamari, Dongpo pork belly, and the eggplant salted fish claypot. I found the Dongpo pork belly to be incredibly tender, although the cut of meat was too fatty for me. I ate the pork belly with rice and it still felt too oily and was difficult to eat for my own tastes, although some might like the texture and flavors. To be honest, the restaurant’s food did not stand out to me. My lunch total, with drinks and rice, came out to a total of about $81. Good overall service and decent food.
I took a star away because I was disappointed that they added the big bean sprout with the big yellow bean (大豆芽菜) to the Beef Chow Fun. It is kind of ruined the authentic Beef Chow Fun of its texture and taste. Otherwise the Beef Chow Fun was good and well seasoned with the wok flavor. It’s quite pricey for lunch.
Food
For the price, nothing we ordered stood out as a must have dish that I recommend. Fried tofu was good but salty. Chicken wings could’ve been crispier (though I came late so maybe it softened a bit), sweet and sour pork was crispy but a bit too sweet for my liking and couldn’t really taste the pork. Fried rice was a generous portion but didn’t try that. Sauteed choy sum with fried pork was probably my favorite dish. We all felt like dishes were on the saltier side and probably why we drank so much water.
Ambiance
Modern take on a Cantonese restaurant with vibey music playing in the background. A bit confusing to see wooden chopsticks being used but maybe it’s temporary.
Service
Extremely attentive staff and water was constantly being refilled. Plates were removed promptly if empty.
Price
Main dishes were concentrated on the $20-30 range but went up to $40+. All live seafood sold at market price. The most expensive dish is the abalone at $158/198
Parking
Dedicated lot
