5 Best Chinese Restaurants in Singapore (2026)

Suhang Xiangban is a Chinese restaurant on Liang Seah Street near Bugis, serving dishes with a Sichuan-leaning edge alongside Peking duck and pickled-vegetable fish soup. The restaurant runs late, often past midnight, and offers private dining rooms with karaoke, making it a common pick for birthdays and family gatherings. It also welcomes pets, which reviewers note isn't just a nominal policy.

LONGJING Restaurant, with locations including Suntec City and Novena Square, is a Chinese restaurant known for its tang hoon (vermicelli) prawn dish and Dongpo pork ribs, marketed mainly through Instagram rather than a standalone website. It draws visible queues at peak times, and reviewers frequently mention trying it specifically because of the crowds outside. It only takes dinner reservations from 5pm.

Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro, on the 35th floor of Hilton Singapore Orchard, is Singapore's only Chuka Szechwan restaurant, a Japanese interpretation of Sichuan cuisine dating back three generations to a culinary dynasty that pioneered the style in Japan. It's held a Michelin star since 2016, offers a chef's table for eight, and runs five private dining rooms. The mapo tofu is the restaurant's most cited dish.

San Ren Xing, with its main branch at Thomson Plaza, is a Fujian and Sichuan restaurant offering an all-day menu of more than 80 dishes, with additional locations at Bugis Junction and Bedok Mall. Reviewers consistently mention its xiao long bao, pumpkin butter prawns and eggplant with pork floss as reasons for repeat visits. The restaurant has an early-bird discount for dinners starting around 5:30pm.

Sichuan Tianfu Restaurant, on Beach Road, has served authentic Sichuan cuisine in Singapore since 2005, staffed by chefs from Sichuan itself. The restaurant will adjust spice, oil and salt levels on request, and reviewers who've eaten Sichuan food in Chengdu or Chongqing repeatedly call it the most authentic version they've found locally. It's a small space with one private room, so reservations are recommended.
