Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Chin Lee Tea & Dine offers a traditional Teochew dining experience, with many patrons praising the authenticity and quality of their dishes.

The 'Caipo Kway Teow' is frequently highlighted for its strong wok hei, and the 'Steam Pomfret' is consistently lauded for its freshness.

We note that while some dishes like the 'Braised Abalone with Sea Cucumber' and 'Chilled Pig Trotter Jelly' receive high marks, there are occasional inconsistencies, such as the 'lala beehoon' being overly greasy or dim sum items being hit-or-miss.

Service generally appears attentive, especially during less busy periods, though some experiences suggest staff could improve communication regarding table availability during peak hours.

We'd recommend making a reservation for dinner to avoid potential waits.

Overall, it's a solid choice for a Teochew feast, particularly for groups.

What customers say

Chin Lee Tea & Dine generally receives positive feedback for its authentic Teochew cuisine, with many praising dishes like the fresh Steamed Pomfret, Venison, Fish Maw Soup, and Cereal Prawns, often described as Michelin-standard.

While service is frequently noted as friendly and attentive, especially during non-peak hours, some customers feel rushed or ignored when staff clear plates too quickly or handle walk-in inquiries.

Specific dishes like the Lala Beehoon can be greasy, and the Braised Goose occasionally has feather remnants or a gamey taste, though the Chilled Pig Trotter jelly and Orni dessert are popular.

The white pomfret was disappointing but the Braised Abalone with Sea Cucumber makes up for it. Orni dessert is good. I personally love their Chilled Pig Trotter jelly the most.
