Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Lai Huat Signatures (Buffet) at Gambas offers a mixed bag, with some dishes shining while others fall short.

We think the buffet option can be good value, especially for larger groups, but be mindful that portions are substantial.

The Curry Fish Head consistently receives high praise for its fragrant and balanced spice, making it a standout.

The Prawn Paste Chicken and Homemade Prawn Rolls are also frequently recommended.

However, some signature items like the Sambal Fried Fish and fried pomfret have been noted as dry or underwhelming, and the fried squid can be tough.

Service generally appears to be a strong point, with staff offering good recommendations and attentive care, even during busy periods.

Drinks, like the chrysanthemum tea, are noted as good but can be pricey at around $5 per person.

We'd recommend this for groups looking for a hearty meal with some reliable zi char classics, but advise managing expectations for all dishes.

Best for groups of 4-5 to manage portion sizes effectively.

Food was good, came on weekend dinner not many people. Food was served very fast. Curry fish head is amazing sauce bombz. Sambal fish's sambal is good but the fish a bit dry.
