Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take on Kimly Zi Char at Blk 163A Gangsa is that it offers a generally reliable experience for those seeking classic zi char dishes.

Reviewers consistently highlight the quality of several dishes, with the XO Sauce Deep Fried Soon Hock receiving high praise for its freshness and flavour.

Other popular items include the Curry Fish Head, noted for its deliciousness and decent serving size, and the prawn paste chicken, described as crispy and fragrant.

We also see mentions of good fish maw thick soup and chicken soup.

However, we note some inconsistencies in the dining environment.

While some describe it as clean and vibrant, others report issues with cleanliness and a pervasive smell of cigarettes, which could detract from the meal.

There was also a specific complaint about diluted drinks and a fly in a beverage, suggesting potential hygiene lapses in certain areas.

We'd recommend requesting a table away from any designated smoking areas if you are sensitive to smoke.

Overall, it appears to be an affordable option with a wide variety of dishes, but be prepared for a potentially crowded environment and some variability in service or cleanliness.

A solid choice for a casual zi char meal, but not a destination for a pristine dining experience.
