Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: 308 Fish Steamboat and Zhi Char appears to be a popular spot for its fish steamboat, particularly the Red Grouper, which multiple diners praise for its freshness and tender texture.

The fish head steamboat, though on the pricier side, is noted for its generous portions and flavourful soup.

We also see positive mentions for the hot plate pork liver, described as perfectly cooked and succulent.

However, there are significant concerns regarding inconsistent pricing, with some customers reporting discrepancies between menu prices and actual charges, especially for takeaway orders.

The prawn omelette is called out for being oily and using frozen prawns, and the Yi Mian has received strong negative feedback for being stale and causing stomach issues.

The dining environment also seems to be an issue, with reports of strong cigarette smells.

We'd recommend this for those specifically seeking a fish steamboat, particularly the Red Grouper, and suggest dining in rather than taking away to avoid potential pricing confusion and quality issues with other dishes.

Be prepared for a potentially busy environment, especially on Sunday evenings.
