Editor’s Note

Our take: YiJia Seafood offers a mixed bag, with some dishes like the Salted Baked Crabs and Curry Fish Head receiving praise for their flavour and affordability.
We note that a meal for 8, including dishes like prawn paste chicken, ngoh hiang, cereal prawns, gu lou yok, salad you tiao, and sliced pork, can cost around $130, suggesting a reasonable price point for groups.
However, the recurring and significant issue across multiple reviews is the consistently long wait times for food, often exceeding 45 minutes to an hour, even for takeaway orders or during seemingly quiet periods.
There are also reports of disorganised service, with orders for later-arriving tables being served first, and reservations not being honoured.
While the food quality can be good, the operational inconsistencies seem to detract significantly from the dining experience.
We'd recommend YiJia Seafood only if you have ample time and patience, and are specifically seeking their highly-rated crabs or curry fish head.
Otherwise, consider other zi char options in the area.

What customers say
YiJia Seafood receives mixed reviews, with customers frequently praising the freshness and affordability of their crabs, particularly the salted baked crab, and the flavour of their curry fish head.
However, a significant recurring complaint is the extremely long waiting times for food, even during non-peak hours, and inconsistent service, especially on busy occasions like Mother's Day, leading to forgotten orders and delayed dish delivery.
While some find the food "extremely good," others describe it as "mediocre" or "so-so" beyond specific dishes.

The salted baked crabs was a nice change of taste. The dishes and food is generally nice, however, the preparation time and waiting time for the food is terribly long.
