Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Boon Tong Kee at River Valley is a well-known spot for chicken rice, offering a more comfortable, air-conditioned dining experience compared to hawker stalls.

We note that while some find the chicken rice satisfactory, there are comments suggesting the chicken meat might not be as juicy or fresh as the main Balestier outlet.

However, the chicken is generally described as tender and succulent, especially when paired with the provided sauces and fragrant rice.

Beyond chicken rice, the restaurant offers a range of zi char dishes, with the fried tofu and three-egg vegetable dish receiving positive mentions.

The Chicken Rice combo meals, priced around S$10, are highlighted for their value, often including sides like crispy tofu or shrimp fritters.

Service is consistently described as fast and attentive.

We'd recommend this location for those seeking a comfortable, quick meal with a variety of local dishes, though purists might prefer the Balestier branch for chicken rice alone.

Best for a weekday lunch to avoid potential crowds.

What customers say

Boon Tong Kee @ River Valley generally receives positive feedback for its tender and succulent chicken rice, with many praising the value of its combo meals and the quality of its 'zhi char' dishes like fried tofu and three eggs vegetable.

While some find the chicken meat less juicy compared to the Balestier branch and the chicken liver disappointing, the fast service and air-conditioned environment contribute to a pleasant dining experience, despite the occasionally narrow space.

More upscale chicken rice place with a slightly premium price tag. At least there’s aircon to escape the heat.. Chicken was good and succulent. But came here mainly for the fried tofu. Paid about $40…
