Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

Kimly Zi Char in Bishan positions itself as an affordable option for stir-fried dishes and seafood.

While some patrons praise specific items like the '四大天王' vegetable dish, noting its unique combination of petai, long beans, brinjal, and lady's finger, the overall experience appears inconsistent.

We note recurring feedback about slow service and long wait times, even outside of peak periods.

The chicken rice, specifically, has drawn criticism for lacking flavour and having more bones than meat, suggesting it might be an overhyped item.

However, when the food is good, it's described as 'stellar' and 'gets the job done'.

We think this spot is best for those seeking budget-friendly Zi Char and are prepared for potential service delays.

A reliable everyday option, not a destination meal.

What customers say

Kimly Zi Char at Blk 280 Bishan St 24 generally offers decent Zi Char food, with some customers praising dishes like fried rice and the "四大天王" vegetable dish.

However, service can be slow, even during non-peak hours, and the chicken rice has received criticism for lacking an egg when paid for, containing more bones than meat, and having an unexceptional taste.

While some find the food improving over time, others feel it's overly hyped.

Not pleasant experience at the long queued chicken rice store. Been wondering for weeks what’s special. 1. Paid for chicken rice with egg but was not given egg. 2. More bones than meat in the chicken…

Food was good. Service disappointing. Took very long for food to arrive and it wasn’t even peak hours. Food wise, 2 out of 3 dishes were stellar.

Update: Great zhichar place, somehow the food just gets better and better. Fried rice is great, their rice meals are great. This veggie dish called 四大天王is an eye opener with the 4 veggies being petai,…
