Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take on Yi Jia Food House is that it presents itself as a straightforward, affordable tze char option in the heartlands.

Reviews frequently highlight its home-cooked taste and generous portions, with the salted egg chicken being a standout, often accompanied by a complimentary soup.

This suggests a focus on value and hearty meals, appealing to those seeking a no-frills dining experience.

However, consistency appears to be an issue.

While some praise the food as 'nice' and 'good', others find dishes like the hor fun 'average only' with skimpy ingredients.

There are also significant complaints regarding drink quality, specifically a 'diabetic-level' sweet Milo, and more serious allegations of misrepresentation, such as serving chicken chop instead of roasted chicken without prior notification.

These incidents raise concerns about both quality control and transparency.

We'd recommend Yi Jia Food House for a quick, budget-friendly meal if you're in the Hougang area, specifically for the salted egg chicken, but advise caution with drink orders and to confirm dish availability.

What customers say

Yi Jia Food House is generally praised for its affordable, home-cooked style tze-char and other dishes, with customers highlighting the salted egg chicken and Western/Korean-Japanese options as delicious and value-for-money.

Many appreciate the ample seating, good ventilation, and peaceful atmosphere.

However, some dishes like the hor fun are considered average, and the vinegar trotter received strong negative feedback for being undercooked and bony after a renovation.

The recent price increase post-renovation for some items like Western food was also noted.
