Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: 126 Dim Sum @ Geylang, also known as 126 Dim Sum Wen Dao Shi, is a 24-hour establishment that has undergone a significant renovation, transforming from a traditional, cramped space into a brighter, more spacious, and air-conditioned environment.

While some long-time patrons note a loss of its 'rustic charm,' the general consensus is that the quality of the dim sum remains largely consistent with its long-standing reputation.

The menu is extensive, offering a wide variety of dim sum, including the highly-praised HK Char Siew Bao, which some reviewers claim tastes the same as it did decades ago.

Other notable items include the fried large intestine, Hakka Olive congee, and chee cheong fan.

However, there are mixed reviews on certain dishes, with some finding the congee to be high in MSG and others reporting issues with freshness in items like shrimp dumplings and xiaolongbao.

The chili sauce, a crucial accompaniment for dim sum, has also received criticism for being sweet.

Despite these inconsistencies, the convenience of its 24-hour operation and the generally positive feedback on its core dim sum offerings make it a viable option.

We'd recommend it for late-night dim sum cravings, especially if you're in the Geylang area and value variety and accessibility over a strictly traditional ambiance.

What customers say

126 Dim Sum @ Geylang generally receives positive feedback for its extensive menu, 24-hour availability, and the consistent taste of long-standing items like the HK Char Siew Bao, even after a recent renovation that modernized its ambiance.

While many appreciate the fresh and flavorful dim sum, some customers find certain dishes, like the shrimp dumplings and xiaolongbao, to be disappointing or lacking freshness, and the congee has been noted for potentially high MSG content.

Service is generally good, though minor order mix-ups can occur.
