Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Orchid Live Seafood is known for its fresh seafood, particularly lobsters, which they import directly.

The Signature Live Lobster Porridge is a popular choice, with a broth simmered for at least four hours.

However, some diners have found the porridge to have a fishy taste and not served hot enough, though the quality of the lobster itself is generally praised.

The Steamed Turbot Fish and Poached Cuttlefish with Housemade Cai Poh are also highlighted for their freshness.

For non-seafood options, the Signature Steven Chicken, glazed in a marmite-honey sauce, is consistently recommended.

While the freshness of ingredients is a strong point, service can be inconsistent, with dishes sometimes arriving too quickly or basic attention like tea refills being missed.

The restaurant has ample seating and parking in its new location.

We recommend calling ahead to check the availability of live catch, especially for premium items like the Alaskan King Crab, which is occasionally offered at a promotional price of $199 for 2kg.

Best for those prioritising fresh, live seafood, but be prepared for potential service quirks and consider giving feedback if the porridge isn't up to par.

What customers say

Orchid Live Seafood is highly regarded for its exceptional freshness, particularly its lobsters and other live seafood, with many praising the quality and taste of dishes like the Steven's Chicken and various lobster preparations.

While the new Yishun location offers improved seating and parking, some customers have experienced rushed service and inconsistent execution, such as the lobster porridge not being hot enough or having a fishy taste, and other dishes lacking flavor.

Despite these occasional service and execution issues, the overall sentiment remains strongly positive due to the high quality of ingredients and signature dishes.
