Our take: The Charcoal Grill Legend in Hougang seems to live up to its name, particularly for its grilled fish and skewers.

We see consistent praise for the grilled fish, described as 'huge,' 'flavorful,' and 'perfectly cooked,' making it a good option for sharing.

The skewers, especially the lamb, also receive strong recommendations for being 'flavorful and chewy.' While the vermicelli with garlic is highlighted as a strong performer, some dishes like the dumplings, Hunan pepper, and grilled squid skewers have been noted as less impressive.

There's also a comment about the grilled fish soup being 'a bit too sweet' for some palates, suggesting a specific flavor profile.

Service is generally described as friendly and efficient.

We think this spot is best for those looking for hearty, flavourful grilled items and skewers, but be prepared for some hit-or-miss with other menu items.

Best for a casual group meal.

What customers say

The Charcoal Grill Legend is generally well-regarded for its flavorful and generously portioned Chinese dishes, particularly the grilled fish and various skewers, with many customers praising the attentive and friendly staff.

While the grilled fish is often highlighted for its size and taste, some find the soup accompanying it too sweet.

Occasional feedback points to inconsistencies in certain dishes like noodles or the grilled squid skewer, and a minor concern about floor cleanliness was noted.

Personally love their skewers the most but forgot to take the photos of it. The vermicelli was really good as well with the strong flavors of garlic and it absorbed the sauce really well. The dumpling…

Back again for more skewers, noodles kind of not worth the price. Like the crispy chicken but should have more peanuts. 25May Great BBQ stick, flavorful and chewy lamb skewers. When the grill fish wa…
