Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Thai Friendship appears to be a strong contender for authentic Thai cuisine in Hougang, particularly given its coffee shop pricing.

Reviewers consistently highlight the restaurant-quality food at hawker prices, making it a value-for-money option.

The Tom Yum Soup receives specific praise for its deliciousness, and the pork kailan rice is also noted as a good choice.

While most feedback is positive, one reviewer found the basil pork to be tough and the pad Thai too wet, suggesting some inconsistency in execution.

The service is generally described as quick, even during dinner, though securing a table can be a challenge.

We'd recommend arriving slightly before peak dinner hours to avoid the scramble for seats.

This spot seems ideal for those seeking an authentic Thai meal without the restaurant price tag.

Very average thai food. Taste is there but basil pork like rubber band. Pha thai wet style. Not shiok after finished meals.

Tried their pork kailan rice, it was good, definitely come again to try the other dishes. It was quick service during dinner time. A bit difficult to find empty table only.
