Editor’s Note
Last updated 5 Nov 2026
Our take: Chin Chin Restaurant is a long-standing Hainanese establishment known for its classic dishes, particularly the Hainanese Chicken Rice.
We see consistent praise for the chicken's tenderness and the rice's fragrance, with some reviewers calling it the best they've had in Singapore.
The Hainanese Pork Chop and Hainanese Mix Veg also receive strong recommendations.
While the restaurant maintains an 'old school' setting, the service is generally described as prompt and attentive, even during busy periods.
Expect a lively atmosphere, especially during peak lunch and dinner times, which might involve sharing tables.
We note that the signature chicken can sell out, so plan accordingly if that's your primary draw.
The $23 price point for chicken and vegetables for two, along with two drinks, indicates good value.
Be prepared for cash or PayNow as payment options.
We'd recommend Chin Chin for a reliable, value-for-money Hainanese meal, especially if you're in the mood for traditional chicken rice.
Best for a quick, satisfying meal rather than a leisurely dining experience.

What customers say
Chin Chin Restaurant is highly praised for its authentic Hainanese cuisine, particularly the tender and flavourful chicken rice and Hainanese Pork Chop, which evoke a nostalgic taste for many.
While generally efficient, some customers experienced minor delays in order delivery.
The restaurant maintains a lively, old-school ambiance, often bustling with crowds, and offers good value for money, though some dishes like the Prawn Roll and Sweet and Sour Pork received mixed reviews for lacking flavour.

Will return to try other zichar dishes. It has a very 80/90s charm to it- angry boss upfront, greasy floor, cheap plastic chairs, cheap plastic plates. The environment is outright noisy- don’t bring…
Surprised by how packed this spot is on a weekday lunch. Despite the line, the wait was fast. The chicken is the clear winner here—silky, tender succulent meat with a perfect glistening skin. I person…
Delicious chicken rice which I had not eaten for past 10 years. The restaurant is old school like those independent zhi char back in the days, big and spacious. Chicken is tender and just pairs nicel…
