Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Kah Heng Seafood Restaurant offers a traditional zi char experience, with many reviewers praising its authentic, comforting flavors.

We see consistent mentions of good wok hei in the fried rice and well-executed dishes like the salted egg pork ribs, though some found the latter slightly oily.

The sweet & sour fish and ngoh hiang also receive positive remarks.

However, the mapo tofu was noted as inauthentic with a bad aftertaste, and the sambal kang kong's turmeric was occasionally overpowering.

Service is generally described as fast and friendly, and the air-conditioned setting is a plus.

The main point of contention is the wait time during peak hours.

We'd advise visiting early, around 5 pm, to avoid significant delays, especially on weekends, as the kitchen can get overwhelmed.

This is a reliable spot for those craving classic zi char in the Bukit Timah area, particularly if you plan your visit strategically.

What customers say

Kah Heng Seafood Restaurant is praised for its authentic, traditional zi char dishes, with customers frequently highlighting the 'wok hei' fried rice, sweet & sour fish, and ngoh hiang.

While many appreciate the reasonable prices, fast service, and air-conditioned comfort, the restaurant experiences significant delays during peak hours, especially on weekend evenings and festive seasons, due to limited kitchen staff.

Some dishes, like the salted egg pork ribs, can be oily, and the mapo tofu received specific criticism for lacking authenticity.
