Pretty good bak kut teh, worth a try. Free soup refills which is the standard in bak kut teh places. This is the clear, peppery Teochew version, not the dark brown, herbal Hokkien version.
Terence TAugust 22, 2014Free refills of their peppery Bak Kut Teh soup. One of the best you can find within the city. But it can be a little overcrowded with long queues during weekends due to its centralized location.

WoeiCheng WoonApril 25, 2013Is totally different with Malaysia Bak Kut Teh. Not all people can accept the taste. But pork ribs are nice to try! Also not expensive, around 10 SGD per person Can have a try when travel in SG!Upvoted Mar 19
Mark ShuAugust 23, 2014BKT here is a must! The pork leg & vege are awesome! What surprise me was the noodles. When they ask for rice or noodle go for the noodles! Yum
Foodtraveler_theworldAugust 5, 2019Don’t miss this place if you love eating or wanna find Singaporean signature menu. Long queue definitely so don’t come when hungry. Pork ribs soup with Fried Chinese donut are a must to try.
- Ieva AndrukaitytėMarch 4, 2018Delicious bak kut teh (pork ribs in peppery broth). Groudnut side was exceptionally good. Free broth refills. Everything was very tasty, definitely worth a visit!
- Cheen The CuriousMay 24, 2012Bak kut teh (pork rib soup): Believe d 4SQ reviews, it's delicious! Prices start fr $6 for std serving. Tried d (lagi yummy) premium loin ribs $8.50. Soup was always topped up!
Vivien LeungNovember 19, 2013My first Bak Kut Teh in my life. It was absolutely delicious. I don't have another place to compare it to though.. Must try! They close on Mondays. I had the original but I will go back for premium
First time here & I must say it's very good. Long que but worth the wait. Price is $7/9 and $10 for premium. Ask for refill of soup for free.
Diane FangJanuary 26, 2017Very good system for dealing with long queues during peak hours. Very organized and no stress. Staff look happy and chirpy despite high crazy turnovers.
Yiling DingAugust 28, 2016Peppery style bak kut teh with free refills for the soup. Delicious and inexpensive. Prepare to wait in line during peak meal times, though.- Johnny WangOctober 23, 2018(3.5/5) Get their basic (first) pork rib soup for the more tender meat. A white pepper "clear" broth that's a bit heavy-handed with the MSG, but tasty, and allows for unlimited broth refills.
Jakkapan SiesongkhramJuly 3, 2014My shared table guy ordered every things as same as I did. He got angry when I got my dish first (He ordered before me). Thank for the professional staff who negotiate that angry guy for me.
JKAugust 29, 2016The Premium Loin Ribs Soup is good when it is hot. The Braised Chicken fet with beancrd skin is tender but needs to go with the thick soy sauce and chilli. The salted vegetable is not very favoured.
Vincent HahMarch 24, 2018A must try if you are a fan of pork and not forgetting delicious pork spare parts! 😍😍😍
Poomy K.September 9, 2014A famous bah kut teh in Singapore! Must try pork rib and stomach! Good food & reasonable price :)
Sawit K.August 6, 2017This is the main branch with a lots of people queuing. Love the taste. But I prefer other locations. I.e. Expo
love the mee sua and pork belly! not forgetting the peppery soup which is my favorite! ❤️
Bokyung ParkAugust 19, 2017Pork rib soup. Taste like Korean Samgyetang (Ginseng Chicken Soup) with lots of black pepper. They refill your soup but receive cash only.
Steven WakuuMay 3, 2018Delicious pork rib soup (with free soup refills). Tender pork belly and savory vegetables!
Kassyn NgOctober 5, 2015Soooo crowded because food is awesome. You can reserve seats esp if u are coming in big groups.
Miyabi KJuly 16, 2010One of the Best Bah Kut Teh,imo. I totally love their soup, and side dishes of deepfried doughsticks, peanuts & salted veggies! I've considered this as a gem among my fav foodhunts in town! :)
codie codyFebruary 14, 2014pork ribs soup in traditional way. cakue is a must! yuuumm. don't forget to ask for more soup.
They have two outlets in the area. The queues are separate. Therefore, go for the one that has the shorter queue.
Philip LowAugust 31, 2012Just order a bowl of full rib instead of normal Bak Kut Teh. 3 pieces of ribful meat! And a small bowl of rice will do. Ask for refill of soup if the service boy did not come on to you autopilot!
Stanley 辉February 24, 2011I like the bak kut teh here. The meat is tender and easy to chew. The soup is nice too. The kidney soup is also nice as the smell from the kidney are all removed.
MichelleDecember 27, 2015Just sensational- come with a small group and you'll get in quickly. Beautiful food.
Eunkyeong JeonNovember 24, 2014Best Bak Kut Teh place in Singapore where my Singapore friends recommended!:)
Jaze GongJuly 20, 2014The pepper soup bak kut teh type is not my type. Luckily was compensated with drinking beers while in the line or else it would be not-worth-the-queue thing
Allison ChenJune 8, 2016Must go restaurant in Singapore. But the downside is the restaurant too small, very crowded inside.- Nelson ZhaoJuly 5, 2016Good Bak Kut Teh (pork ribs) with a lot of pepper in there. Nothing tastes like Chinese medicine in their Bak Kut Teh which is good.
Jaczie LoJanuary 17, 2012GARLIC LOVERS! Ask for a bowl of garlic and enjoy the soft, succulent taste with your bah kut teh and rice!
RyanMay 2, 2014This is not bak kut tehx the taste is more like black pepper soup, there is no herbal taste is the soup, if want to called it as black pepper soup, I give 8/10, if called as bak ku teh 1/10
Choo Yao Chuen Yao ChuenNovember 26, 2014my favourite for bah kut teh. everything i like here, except the crowd.....
TingDecember 18, 2014This used to be my family's go to place for bak kut teh when they were still in bugis decades ago. While it's much more 'packaged' now,sadly the taste is no longer the same. We switch to Founders BKT.
Caimei ChongAugust 7, 2014Here for the first time ! Let's see if it's worthy for my tastebuds and to my time 😂🍜🍚🍴#foodadventure #longqueue #bakkutteh
Fuyuhiko TakayaMarch 1, 2015During lunar new year season, this restaurant is closed. But an outlet @ Chinatown point resumes earlier. Do not be disappointed !
Asha JApril 13, 2016I'm not a fan of Bak Kut Teh. But I didn't dislike their Bak Kut Teh. So I'm assuming they've got some damn good Bak Kut Teh.
BenxxxOAugust 30, 2013Acceptable food ... As in all successful outlets .. Standards will drop and taste will give way for increased margin... Worth a try but something I won't go out of my way to eat now... 👍✋
Lina A.December 9, 2014Looooong queue... But all worth waiting for the pork ribs soup. This place is a must try!
