Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

Our take: Encik Tan at Joo Koon Circle appears to be struggling with consistency, particularly when compared to other outlets.

Reviewers frequently mention issues with undercooked noodles and rice, and the Chicken Cutlet Set has been described as having tiny, dry portions and overcooked eggs.

There are also specific complaints about the curry and chili taste at this location, with one reviewer noting a 'tomato-like' flavour.

While one positive experience highlighted a 'well-cooked mee pok' and 'amazing' fishball soup when prepared by a specific staff member, this seems to be an outlier.

The overall sentiment points to a significant decline in food quality at this particular outlet.

We'd recommend exploring other Encik Tan branches if you're looking for a reliable meal, as the Joo Koon location seems to have significant quality control issues.

My favourite, Encik Tan’s food quality has declined significantly. The rice and noodles are often undercooked, with hard portions that are unpleasant to eat.
