Dining at Chin Chin Restaurant on January 11 was a delightful experience. Despite the full house and long queue, we were lucky to secure a table for 3 , and the service was impressively prompt. The signature chicken rice lived up to its reputation, but the highlight was the salted egg yolk prawns—fresh, flavorful, and without any aftertaste of thirst. The ginger tea was a perfect complement, adding a cozy touch on a rainy day. Highly recommended for a satisfying dining experience.

Old school hainanese style restaurant.
Chicken rice is excellent especially the steam version. Another highlight is their hainanese chap chye mix vegetables with dried shrimp and squid. Just delicious.
Brings back the olden day taste.
Curry fish head is fresh and curry gravy is smooth, fragrant and delicious.
Service is prompt and friendly.
Popular restaurant and usually need to queue.
Will definitely patronize again

On my second meal out in Singapore I was told by some locals that it was a famous chicken rice place. The restaurant is known for having a better rice than chicken dish. The queue was long, but we managed to get a table quickly. There was some lost-in-translation moments because I don’t speak any Chinese, but I did our best to point to the items on the menu.

Having tasted the chicken, I found it moist, tender and to be easy to eat. The additional sauces made the chicken tastes worse. The ginger was old and bitter, the chilli sauce was bitter and slightly spicy, the sweet soy was okay. The soup was delicate and good, however, the rice was unique. There was a prominent flavour of raw garlic rubbed into the rice. The texture was slightly dry and course. The half chicken seemed to fill two people well.

I think I’ll keep on looking for other chicken rice places in Singapore.

Used to be popular because of their chicken rice, now infamous because of their grouchy service. If you are absolutely hard-up to check that box on your bucket list to have a plate of chicken rice from Chin Chin, brace yourself and be ready to get the most horrific service.

The staff yell at customers, yell among themselves; If that's your vibe, you would love it here. Do not come too late as the chicken would have sold out, and be prepared to be screamed at if you ask.

Short of having a chopper hurled at you, take caution as you walk, parts of the floor may be slippery. Also if sharing tables with strangers is not your thing, avoid at all costs.

Super authentic, traditional place for the famous Chicken Rice. Sitting in a soup kitchen environment families, friends and pensionists come here probably for decades. We saved this for the last day of our stay and created a great memory.
The food is awesome, you choose from a variety of local (not fatty), freshly prepared dishes. We had the chicken rice, the broccoli prawns and Singapore noodles with scrimps. The Tiger bottle of 600ml comes for just like 8 SGD.
We will be back!
