Our take: Yong Xiang Lai Seafood Zi Char appears to be a relatively new hawker stall, with initial reviews highlighting its Malaysian-style zi char.
We see consistent praise for flavour, particularly the 'seriously flavorful' black Hokkien mee and a claypot tofu dish featuring roasted pork belly and taro.
The Sweet and Sour Pork Rice also receives a strong recommendation for its crispy pork and balanced sauce, with a generous portion.
Prices seem reasonable, with a meal for three including multiple dishes and rice coming in at $62 without GST or service charge.
However, there's a notable concern regarding staff attitude, with one reviewer detailing a 'belligerent and rude' vendor.
While food quality seems to meet expectations for the price point, the service issue is a significant drawback.
We'd recommend visiting during off-peak hours to potentially mitigate service issues, focusing on the highly-rated Sweet and Sour Pork Rice or Black Hokkien Mee.

Yong Xiang Lai Seafood Zi Char generally receives positive feedback for its flavorful and reasonably priced dishes, with customers praising the prawn paste chicken, sweet and sour pork, and black Hokkien mee.
The claypot tofu with generous ingredients is also a highlight.
However, there's a notable concern regarding the rude and belligerent behavior of one staff member, specifically an older male with white hair, which has negatively impacted some customers' experiences.
