Our take: 古早味菜馆 aims to serve traditional Chinese dishes in a casual Yishun setting.

We see a recurring theme of mixed experiences, particularly with their signature fishhead steamboat.

While some diners find the $50 set meal for 4-5 people to be good value, criticisms frequently point to tough, dry fish, rubbery skin, and a lack of yam in the soup.

The salted egg pork ribs also receive feedback for being tough, though the sauce is generally acceptable.

On the other hand, side dishes like kangkong and prawn paste chicken are often praised for their taste and texture.

We note reports of significant wait times, even for a single dish like the fishhead steamboat, which can stretch to 40 minutes on a Sunday evening.

Given the inconsistent quality of the main dishes and potential for long waits, we'd recommend this as a budget-friendly option for larger groups, but with tempered expectations for the fishhead steamboat itself.

Focus on the side dishes for a more satisfying experience.

What customers say

Customers visit 古早味菜馆 for traditional Chinese dishes, often drawn by social media, but reviews are mixed regarding food quality and value.

While some side dishes like prawn paste chicken and kang kong receive praise, the signature fish head steamboat frequently disappoints due to tough fish, rubbery skin, lack of yam, and small portion sizes for its price.

Long wait times, especially on weekends, are also a concern.
