โ โ โ โ โ There is no restaurant that is even close to the experience of Red Star. It has unmatched variety of dim sum only delicacies. It has food that stays true to its roots, delivered by traditional pushcarts. Closest competitors Swee Choon & Yum Cha doesn't offer such a majestic ballroom setting with high seating capacity. Granted the queue is long and cleanliness isn't the best but the experience speaks for itself. This is a one-stop restaurant for all your old school dim sum cravings at an affordable price point. Free parking on most hours on Sundays.

โ โ โ โ โ One of the best dim sum place ?
A variety of dim sum to choose , from fried to steam??
The servers will push pushcart around , all very friendly and attentive to attend to us
Tried their homemade fishball , may seem not appealing but turns out to be really nice and tangy.
Ordered about 7 basket of dim sum , 1 roasted pork , 1 roasted duck and drinks - total about $228+ for 4 pax. May be a little pricey but still reasonable with the high standard of food and services.โค๏ธ

โ โ โ โ โ I miss the old style dim sum with push carts, and this place does it very well. There's a wide selection of options delivered to your table, and you can also order ducks in the back.
Everything was lovely, especially the prawn fried wontons (crispy outside, tender inside).
It's located on the top floor of an HDB building - easy to miss if you aren't looking carefully

โ โ โ โ โ Food quality is just so-so.
Service is really terrible. The waiter asked us to sit at a table that has not been set yet. Shortly after, he came over to lay the table cloth before going to take the bowls and utensils. One of the bowl dipped into the saucer with chilli sauce, so he took the bowl, used the table cloth to wipe it and placed it in front of husband.
Manpower shortage, so be prepared to self service because it is really hard to get the attention of an available staff. If you want to top up tea, its faster to bring the pot to top up the hot water yourself.
The dim sum carts are supposed to go table to table to ask if we wanted anything from their cart. But the food was really slow to come out from kitchen. We sat there for a good 30 minutes waiting but not much came out. So when it finally came, all the hungry tables went to queue at the cart instead.
Unless you are looking for nostalgia, otherwise I'd say give this place a miss. There are other dim sum places with better food and service that doesn't leave you feeling like a desperate patron.

โ โ โ โ โ Probably the only old school dim sum restaurant left in Singapore which still serve dimsum in traditional push carts, this place eludes the oldies kind of vibe and ambience. Usually very crowded during weekends, you will need to come early to avoid the potential snaking queue along the staircase.
The quality of dimsum are not the best you can have, Iโll sure you can find better ones easily elsewhere. However, their quality have been quite consistent throughout the years. I feel the egg tart, banana prawn roll, char siew pastry are the nicer ones, the rest are just so so.
Come here to experience the unique ambience for yourself, however donโt expect too much food wise!

โ โ โ โ โ The environment of the restaurant was great and classic as what a traditionally pushcart for the dim sum from table to table. However the foods here are just kinda normal. Do not put on high expectation of the taste but okay for the environment to experience. The prices here also kinda higher than other restaurants. Just a personals opinion. Whoever havenโt try it, should give a try once at least. Thanks.

โ โ โ โ โ Pushcart dim sum. It gets crowded on weekends even at 11am, but space is big and turnover is fast so wait time not too long. The food in general is good, with servers pushing them around regularly. You might not see the whole menu of food during your time, but have a good selection. In general everything is nice, especially the sugar cane prawn and soft shell crab. Dim sum is good, although I would skip the Cheong fun. Solid selection, decent prices.
