Yan Palace - Blk 531 Upper Cross Street #01-49 Hong Lim Complex

Met up with friends on 2 Apr, and the dim sum and food were nice, so 1 wk later, brought my hubby there to try. Unfortunately, the restuarant was crowded and the food not nice this time. Quite dishonest, coz i think they run out of lotus leaf rice, simply use fried rice and cover with lotus leaf and 'pretend' to be. Will not recommend anyone there anymore after this incident.

It's a yearly affair to have a CNY meal here and we had not been there for the past 2 years due to covid. It's much more muted this year without the lion dance. Food is still good bt they reduced their selection. I guess it helped to manage the waiting times and errors in the food. Some of our items did not arrive and they were ok for us to cancel. Overall good to support for the 老字号。

First time trying this place. Old school. All the food serve are hot which is good. Didnt take all the pictures as im too hungry. Not sure about the price as my father in law paid. Parking is easy because multi storey carpark is next to it. Crowded during weekend lunch. The portion is decent, taste is good. Customer service is so so. I have to pack my own leftover.

Traditional dim sum place, nice taste, affordable. Came on Sunday and it was crowded, service was slow but food was good. Pork porridge w/century eggs - delicious, especially like the crispy thing on top. Wished it had more century egg bits Roasted pork belly - nice, fatty, crispy Fried carrot cake in XO sauce - biggest carrot cake pieces I’ve had, decent flavour, soft, slightly oily for my taste Har kow - Classic. Not the best I’ve had but good enough traditional taste. The skin is a lil thick for my liking. Steamed bbq pork buns - nice soft buns and yummy filling Deep fried prawn dumplings - great. light crispy frills with packed filling Bbq pork chee cheong fun - soft skin, not quite the kind I like but alright Siew Mai - thick bbs Pam friend beancurd skin with prawn - pretty good, but not my fav item Prawn ball with almond and mango - didn’t taste the mango, quite liked the crunchy almond flakes Soy beancurd dessert - refreshing

Dim sum was ordinarily average. Although the hookien mee did stood out for me with the inclusion of small abalone, sea cucumber and other huge chunks of seafood. Tastes wasn't bad to boot. Service was a little slow, but I am not complaining for it was a packed lunch service. Furthermore staffer did politely informed that they will be back shortly after attending to another table, instead of being totally ignored as you would encounter in some other places. Reasonable prices. Will be back.

Traditional restaurant. Yam ring rojak is something unique. Food was well cooked, served hot and tasty. Extra compliment on its vegetable not over cooked. Beancurd skin roll was great too. ?

Delicious food, nice presentation, excellent service. Would like to highlight a few of the staff.May received us 30mins earlier before the opening hours. It show that she treasures every walk in diner. Shirley - who takes the initiative to bring a chair for us to place our bags when she observe our bags were sitting on the floor. And Ms Tan, for being attentive to keep our table clean by changing the plate often & top up the drinks without having to request for it. Kudos to the cheerful team for attending to us! The positive vibes are flowing around the restaurant. Will definitely be back again.

A very traditional old Chinese restaurant. This is the first time I pen down the review despite being here regularly. We enjoy the dim sums and dishes. Almost all dishes are enjoyable. Simple traditional cooking. Very popular among the old folks.
