Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take on El Carbon at 717 Yishun is that it's a casual spot with a mixed bag of reviews, but generally leans positive for its chicken dishes.

We note that the Signature Chargrilled Chicken Chop is frequently highlighted for its tenderness and flavour, especially when paired with the black pepper sauce.

The sweet potato fries also get a nod for being 'amazing'.

However, we'd advise caution with the steak; multiple accounts describe the Ribeye steak as tough, small, and not worth its $20.90 price point.

Some also find the cheese in dishes a bit too salty.

The space itself is often described as clean, bright, and spacious, making it a comfortable environment for a casual meal.

We also note the establishment operates on a cashless basis and requires ordering at the counter.

Overall, it seems like a decent option for a quick, affordable meal, especially if you stick to the chicken.

Best for those in the area looking for a fuss-free, cashless dining experience, but skip the steak.

There's also a suggestion for less salty cheese in pasta dishes.

The steak here is horrible. When I ordered the Ribeye steak for 20.90, I expected a decent sized that tastes better than most coffeeshop steaks. However, the steak was smaller than expected and extrem…
