Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Kimly Zi Char at Blk 237 Serangoon Ave 3 presents a mixed bag.

While some patrons have enjoyed fresh and delicious dishes like the CNY Set A, others report significant inconsistencies between menu pictures and actual servings.

The Assam Fish Head, sometimes on promotion for $16 (regularly $28), is a recurring item, though some find it lacks sufficient heat to bring out its full flavour.

The deer meat dishes, such as fried spring onion with deer meat, are generally well-received for tenderness and taste.

However, portions can be a concern, with complaints of small servings for dishes like sweet and sour pork and gong bao deer meat rice, leading to a perception of poor value.

There are also reports of staff aggressively soliciting orders and monopolising public seating.

We'd recommend approaching with caution, perhaps focusing on the deer meat dishes, and being prepared for potential portion discrepancies.

Best for a quick, inexpensive meal if you're in the area, but not a destination.

What customers say

Kimly Zi Char at Blk 237 Serangoon Ave 3 receives mixed feedback.

While some customers praise specific dishes like the Garlic Steamed Red Grouper and tender deer meat, others are highly critical of portion sizes, food quality (e.g., dry chicken, raw long beans), and perceived misrepresentation of dishes compared to photos.

A significant negative point is the reported aggressive staff behavior, monopolization of public tables, and unhygienic clearing practices.
