Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take on Kimly Zi Char at Blk 280 Bishan St 24 suggests a mixed experience, with food quality generally receiving positive remarks but service and wait times being a consistent point of contention.

We note that dishes like the fried rice and the '四大天王' (a vegetable dish with petai, long beans, brinjal, and lady's finger) are highlighted as particularly good.

However, several accounts point to significant delays, with reported wait times of 25-30 minutes extending to an hour, even outside of peak periods.

There are also mentions of issues with specific orders, such as missing items or poor chicken quality in their chicken rice.

While some find the food to 'get the job done' and even improve over time, the operational inconsistencies, particularly around service speed, seem to detract from the overall dining experience.

We'd recommend managing expectations regarding wait times and focusing on their zi char offerings over the chicken rice.

What customers say

Kimly Zi Char at Blk 280 Bishan St 24 receives mixed reviews, with some customers praising specific dishes like the '四大天王' vegetable dish and fried rice, noting an improvement in food quality over time.

However, significant concerns revolve around consistently long waiting times, even during off-peak hours, and service issues.

The chicken rice stall within the establishment also garners criticism for lacking flavor, having more bones than meat, and missing ordered items like eggs.

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.
