Fill your tummy up with many varieties of Dim Sum served in a more traditional style where they allow you to see before you ask for it coz they push the freshly cooked Dim Sum around in push carts

With decor and staff uniforms reminiscent of a 1980's Hong Kong triad film, Red Star is one of Singapore's best known dim sum restaurants. A little overrated, it still deliver good Cantonese cuisine.

Perhaps the oldest dim sum restaurant in Singapore, Red Star has a family run feel, and really good food. Expect to wait for tables on a weekend.

You don't have to overstuff yourself. Push-cart service or you can order from the menu. Good food & top it off with good, friendly service.

Old school place reminiscent of old times wedding dinners and dimsum place. Try the Chee Cheong Fun. Thin and smooth skin and flavourful.

Not the best dim sum but the best vibe of having one in town. Upon entrance, turn right and along the row of chairs is the que to bring you to reception where someone will seat you.

One of my favourite place for dimsum. Must order: durian crepe, liu sha bao (salted egg custard bao), chicken feet, pork ribs and egg tart!

Love the dim sum here, but hate how some people stall the dim sum trolleys as soon as they come out of the kitchen. Wait your turn please. We are hungry too!
Leo GohMay 14, 2016
Food was normal. There was a lot of filling in the liu sa bao. Chicken banana not bad. The duck with seafood below dish nice. Come early. Crowded after 10am..

The only authentic canton dim sum restaurant. Best in town and Singapore.

Very traditional Dim Sum place. Very crowded but it is worth the wait.

Dim sum is really delicious. That's why it's still around after so many decades.
Filiani TendeanAugust 6, 2015
Nice and yummy food. But too crowded. However the queue is quite fast and they also have food and fast service.

The clay pot fish head is a must try for dinner

Red Star is a tradition n a history. Not all selection r fantastic, but a generally gd place for old time's sake n family bonding.. Yum cha and sek dim sum, best family moments :)
Yarn LamNovember 17, 2010
The authentic yum cha experience: queue for an hour to get in, order your dim sum from push carts, well worth the wait! The service staff treat you like an old friend.
KankangOctober 22, 2018
A decent and affordable dim sum place up in a HDB 🧐 egg tart a bit too sweet.

Traditional push cart Dim Sum that's authentic and good.. Beats all other dim sum eateries hands down...
Karen YapJuly 4, 2021
Oldest dim sum restaurant. Very old sch feel! Always wanted to come but long queue. We managed to come During HA2 and only allow 2pax to dine in.
Jurvis TanJune 29, 2013
Fairly little people around on a Saturday (the day I was here at around 1030), can be quite loud like any Dim Sum Restaurant and people can be quite rude to grab the food from the pushcarts.
P Y WongSeptember 6, 2013
Very good traditional Cantonese Dim Sum. Friday morning no crowd can enjoy the food.
Audrey Meirina-SinggihJuly 16, 2011
You MUST try the mango pudding. Been trying mango puddings in different countries and this here is seriously the best!!!!!
Sen Chew LuaApril 7, 2018
The good to place if you want traditional push cart dim sum.
Cheryl Jia LeNovember 9, 2012
For those who love traditional dim sum cuisine, its a must to come here!
Thurayn AungJanuary 17, 2015
The food is very delicious. But you will need a lot of patient and guts to order food.
Si Jin HawJanuary 1, 2014
$28++ per pax weekday dim sum buffet. Reasonable price. But service wasn't good. Food taste nice. Overall I will recommend this restaurant.
CJ DayritAugust 13, 2013
Great dimsum! Great traditional ambiance. Priced fairly as well!
YY ChanSeptember 3, 2018
Great variety of dim sum in authentic traditional chinese restaurant.
Alex TanMarch 14, 2018
Had dinner here. Portion is good and food is nice. However they overcharge for a glass of plain water at $1/glass.
Timor ChanOctober 19, 2013
Dim sum was decent but don't expect the service level to be on par with the quality of the food. Can be crowded on weekends. Best to come before 9.30 am.
Alvin TayJuly 11, 2015
Old-school, dimsum on trolly. :) not many like this left in Singapore I think.
💗Jojoty💗September 29, 2010
Mango sago n mango pudding is below avg... Best food is the fried food... It was so busy that I missed the Chee Chong fun n egg tarts..
Jowie LokJanuary 19, 2013
Food was awesome, many years ago that is, super disappointed with the porridge, instant porridge could taste better! Mango prawn pastry wasn't prawn, was faux crabmeat. Liusabao was plain bad. Badbad!
John TanFebruary 26, 2011
Must go take the Chee cheong fun yourself as the auntie only push her trolley within a small area
Freddie TanNovember 8, 2015
The egg tarts are chrispy!
Anthony WongJune 27, 2015
I would come back here just for the durian crepe!
Sin Ping O.June 5, 2019
Overpriced and overrated dimsum. Not as good as it used to be. Only prefer prawn fritters, hargao and cha siew bao.
Andy LimJune 22, 2013
So hong kong-ish style.. Running after the cart is really one-in-a-lifetime experience.. :))

If you are thinking of queuing for some baked Char Siew Buns, you might as well come here for the 叉烧酥 instead..
Carol SoongAugust 5, 2015
Traditional pushcart dim sum still taste the best!
Pav KhialaniSeptember 6, 2014
Lovely staff and cool looking place but the dim sum was so bad, I had to go somewhere else to get my fix. Only recommend it if your a foreigner.
Michael ChengAugust 7, 2014
Big Bun is da bomb!
Grace SimbacoAugust 15, 2013
the best authentic dimsum... I miss Hap Chan from Manila...
LeeDecember 26, 2011

Food quality declined. Not so good anymore. But still ok. Not very cheap btw. Eat with caution.
Chris LuoOctober 2, 2010
Good service, good food and good place! Must try the duck and roasted pork meat!
Abel TeoFebruary 24, 2013
They push hard for their 鱼卖 but it's no big deal. The better selection are 排骨, 鲜竹卷。
