Our take: Thumbs Up BBQ in Yishun offers a range of Dongbei-style Chinese cuisine, with a focus on skewers and larger sharing plates.
We note consistent feedback regarding generous portion sizes, making it suitable for families or groups.
The lamb skewers are frequently highlighted for being tender and lacking a gamey smell, a positive for those sensitive to it.
Other dishes like the spicy chicken oil and tomato egg omelette receive praise, as does the Yangzhou fried rice for its flavour.
However, some dishes like the 蒜泥白肉 (garlic pork) have been described as bland due to insufficient sauce, and the salted egg pumpkin as not crispy enough.
There are also reports of significant wait times during busy periods, with quoted times often underestimating the actual wait.
A notable concern is the occasional mix-up in orders, with one instance of an incorrect and partially eaten item being packed for takeaway.
We think it's a place for authentic flavours and large portions, but be prepared for potential service inconsistencies and longer waits during peak hours.
Best for groups looking for a hearty, affordable Chinese meal, but manage expectations regarding service speed and order accuracy.
