Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Yong Soon Cafe presents itself as a neighbourhood coffee shop with a wide variety of local dishes.

We'd consider it a reliable spot for everyday meals, particularly if you're in the Hougang area and seeking affordable options.

The Western food stall appears to be a standout, with multiple mentions of the Chicken Cutlet and Chicken Chop being excellent, and the flexibility to swap sides like baked beans or fries for a fried egg.

The kopi and teh are also noted for being rich and fragrant.

However, consistency can be an issue.

While the zi char has received praise for dishes like the curry fish head and pork ribs, other reviews suggest it can be 'meh' and the roasted duck stall is described as 'hit or miss' with varying meat quality.

The dry ban mian, priced at $4.80, was particularly criticised for its taste and minimal ingredients.

We'd recommend sticking to the Western food or zi char, but be prepared for potential inconsistencies with the latter.

The overall vibe is casual and friendly, with clean tables and fast service.

What customers say

Yong Soon Cafe offers a neighborhood-friendly dining experience with a variety of local dishes and drinks at affordable prices.

While some customers praise the rich kopi/teh, excellent Western food like chicken cutlet and chop, and specific Zichar dishes like curry fish head, others express disappointment with the dry ban mian's strange flavor and lack of ingredients, and inconsistent quality from the roasted duck stall.

Service is generally described as attentive and fast, but hygiene concerns were raised regarding the fish stall.

Ordered the dry ban mian ($4.80) and it was disappointing! The noodle portion was normal, but the taste was off as the noodle had a strange mushroom-like flavor. There was very little Chinese cabbage…

Come to this zichar for dinner. Friendly service. Fair pricing & taste good. Choose the curry fish head set, pork rib sweetness just nice. Curry sauce well balance & fish is fresh.

★★★★★Cheryl Lee· 2 years ago

The western food here is the bomb!! Chicken cutlet and chicken chop is 10/10, can change the side to fried egg if u don’t like bake beans, fries or coleslaw!
