Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: XLL Putian restaurant appears to be a well-regarded spot for Putian cuisine, particularly noted for its affordability and authentic flavours.

Reviewers consistently highlight the Fried Hing Wa Beehoon as a must-try, praised for its silky texture and flavourful punch.

The Putien fried noodles and Deep-fried Mackerel are also frequently recommended.

We note that the homemade chilli sauce receives significant praise, with some even purchasing it by the bottle for $2 or $5.

Portions are generally considered reasonable, with some dishes being quite generous.

While the food quality is consistently lauded, some feedback points to service that, while not rude, could be more attentive.

The restaurant is located in a quiet neighbourhood and can get busy, especially on weekend evenings between 7-8pm, leading to potential wait times due to its limited seating.

We appreciate the transparency of no GST or service charge.

Overall, this seems like a solid choice for those seeking authentic Putian food without breaking the bank.

Best for groups, especially with baby chairs available, but be prepared for a wait during peak hours.
