Editor’s Note
Last updated 30 Oct 2026
Our take: Dian Xiao Er at NEX consistently delivers on its promise of comforting Chinese cuisine, with the Herbal Roast Duck being a clear standout.
Reviewers frequently praise its tender, fragrant meat and crisp skin, though some note occasional fattiness.
Beyond the duck, the Marmite Chicken and Mongolian Pork Ribs receive high recommendations for their flavour and caramelised glazes.
We think the Fish Maw Thick Soup with Crabmeat and Conpoy, and Assam Prawns are also worth trying.
Service is generally described as attentive and efficient, even during busy periods.
While weekend dinner crowds can lead to a 15-minute wait, off-peak visits report much shorter queues.
We'd recommend this as a reliable choice for family meals or group gatherings, especially if you're in the mood for well-executed Chinese comfort food.
Best for groups of 3-5 to sample a variety of dishes.
