Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

Our take: Thumbs Up in Serangoon offers a range of Chinese dishes, with a clear emphasis on affordability and generous portions.

We see consistent praise for the $1 skewers, particularly the chicken and pork, making them a standout for budget-conscious diners.

The 口水鸡 (mouth-watering chicken) and 农家小炒肉 (stir-fried pork) also receive high marks for flavour and freshness, with one reviewer noting the chicken's sauce is reminiscent of a hotpot aroma.

However, not all dishes hit the mark, with the 川香小排骨 (Sichuan-style spare ribs) being a reported miss.

We note that service charges are not applied, which adds to the value proposition.

Expect potential waits during busy periods, as the restaurant can be full with both dine-in and delivery orders.

Overall, Thumbs Up appears to be a solid choice for an affordable, hearty Chinese meal, especially if you're in the Serangoon area and enjoy skewers and flavourful stir-fries.

Best for casual dining with friends or family, but be prepared for a wait if you go during peak hours.

Thumbs Up generally receives positive feedback for its affordable and tasty Chinese cuisine, particularly the 口水鸡 (mouth-watering chicken) and 农家小炒肉 (stir-fried pork).

Customers frequently praise the generous portion sizes and reasonable pricing, with many highlighting the $1 skewers.

However, some dishes like the 川香小排骨 (Sichuan-style spare ribs) are less well-received, and long waiting times have been noted during peak hours due to high demand.

Despite some inconsistencies, many diners express intent to revisit.

We had pork (A08), beef (A04), chicken (A16), and mutton (A01) skewers, all at $1 each, with the chicken being the best. The 酸菜鱼 (C27) and 农家小炒肉 (F18) were pretty good, but the same cannot be said for…

Bought a takeaway of 口水鸡&农家炒肉 and the whole family is so delighted at how tasty the dishes are! The chicken is doused in a thick sauce akin to Xiao Longkan’s hotpot aroma and topped with very crunchy…

No service charges and food is affordable. The pork skewers order for less spicy 🌶️ is eatable, only $1. Environment is air con , big space, and serving time is okay. La zhi chicken is nice too
