Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Kway Guan Huat Joochiat Popiah offers a traditional popiah experience, with generously sized rolls packed with fresh ingredients.

We note the $4 price point per roll is higher than average, but this is often justified by the larger portion size and the inclusion of prawns and crispy bits.

The radish filling is consistently praised for being juicy and sweet, and the chili provides a good kick, even when requested less spicy.

However, we've seen reports of inconsistent quality, with some customers finding the skin and filling cold and damp, which detracts from the experience.

There are also hygiene concerns, with one review mentioning a hair found in the popiah.

Seating is not available directly at the stall; customers are directed to a neighbouring shop where a drink purchase is expected.

Operating hours are also a point of confusion, with Google listings sometimes differing from the actual signboard (11 AM - 2 PM).

We think it's a decent option for those in the area craving a traditional popiah, but not necessarily worth a special trip given the price and potential quality issues.

Best for a quick takeaway lunch if you manage to catch them during their limited operating hours.

What customers say

Kway Guan Huat Joochiat Popiah is praised for its generous portions, fresh ingredients, and traditional, nostalgic flavors, with many finding the $4 price acceptable given the size and quality.

However, some customers express concerns about hygiene due to finding hair in food, the popiah being served cold and soggy, and the lack of dedicated seating for on-site consumption.

There are also inconsistencies noted regarding opening hours and the perceived value for money compared to competitors.

Tried their popiah for the first time. After a 15–20 minute wait, I was initially impressed. The $4 price point is very reasonable once you see the generous portion size. The radish was juicy and swee…

I was really excited to hear my favorite DJ, Yasmine from Class 95, mention this store in the programme segment where Singaporeans rated it the best “Bo Bian.” However, when I visited, I realized it w…

Picture cannot lie. The skin was cold and damp. The filling was cold. Normally, popiah fillings should be hot and the skin soft but this was cold and soggy. They made it on the spot and I ate one piec…

Quite pricey at $4 for one popiah. To be fair, the popiah is a bigger than the ones you find around SG. I do love the traditional/nostalgic flavours in this popiah. For seating, they collaborate with…
