The experience is as usual good . Food is great and there is lots of variety and unique choice . Own selection of seafood from the tank also ensures that the freshness and the size of the seafood you wanted it to be .

Seafood was very fresh. Especially liked the signature golden sauce crab. Be sure to order the bread buns to soak up the gravy! Equally tasty was the salted egg crab dish. Although crowded, service was attentive.

Ordered Live Boston lobster in superior broth. Broth a bit too salty and with MSG. But lobster is fresh I admit. Very meaty. I Just that I hope if the lobster is 2.35kg, don't tell me Computer will round up to 2.4kg and you charge based on 2.4kg.

Service is efficient and prompt. Food served quickly and of fairly good standard. Ordered a 1.5kg crab which cost $100, taste wise was slightly above average.

We waited half an hour to have one of the three waiters who are ic of food ordering to attend to us. Pretty frustrating. But I guess it's due to the huge crowd on a Sat night. My family's a regular customer of Chin Huat but this was our first time visiting on a Sat night. Despite the long wait to order food, the dishes were delivered to the table really quickly. Food was good as usual!

The payment system was down and I had to wait for more than 45mins to pay as they have also mixed up my orders with that of the next table and I had to pay for a more expensive seafood due to their mistake.

Crab was good - the reason for a 2. Plates were dirty with soil, dirt and dust. When we asked for a change of plates or tissue paper to clean our plates, we were ignored twice, and on the third time were given extra towels. Subsequently, were surprised to learn that we were charged for it. Then it took a really long time for them to correct our order, needing us to approach the cashier. Overall, service was ineffective - though some people were nice. Another instance was when we ordered tofu, but the order was not keyed.

The family's favorite. While their seafood comes really fresh, Chin Huat produces excellent tze char staples as well. Dishes include sambal kang kong, home made tofu, venison and lemon chicken. Moreover, they are reasonably priced between $8-14. Been frequenting this restaurant for more than 5 years and we always leave satisfied :)

My 5th time at the restaurant, food is consistently good, though orders may take a while to come due to the many diners there; but they have trained up more servers to take your orders to cut the waiting time

Appetizer was excellent - tasty and beautifully presented but the main dish was too commonplace. My friends and I had the hokkien mee which was like seafood noodles for us rather than what we traditionally know as hokkien mee.

Hidden in a residential area is Chin Huat. If you are up for traditional Singapore Chilli Crab, this is the place to go to. Fantastic.

Tip top customer service, staff (Suppose to be the owner) interact with all customer and it does make us feel welcome. Crab is good and the flesh is firm, it kind of scare us off when we saw the menu stated that they could not 100% guaranty that the crab is fleshy even thot we are not the first time visiting chin huat but it still don't give us the confident to order their crab. So far every trip we ordered is good *Cross finger*. I will recommend chin huat over turf club seafood restaurant as chin huat serve more intense taste food .

Our experience this time was not as pleasant as our previous ones, probably because the restaurant was full to the brim. It took some time for our order to be taken, and the only Yu Sheng offered was abalone which was just really tiny pieces. The other dishes were ok except for the braised pork ribs which is a family favourite. It was unusually tough! We sat indoors and though air-conditioned, the place was warm and we were all perspiring during the meal and couldn't wait for the meal to end!

Had a meal there for a staff lunch in the private room. Service and food was good. Enjoyed myself tremendously. Thus, I brought my family there to celebrate mum's birthday but it didn't meet the tastes of some. Standard was still there though. Golden sauce and coconut pudding are must-haves!

food was great, however, did not expect the lobster to be so expensive but perhaps i should have done my homework first. service not as stellar as per normal because of the busy period, but it was alright. made a reservation at 730 about one week in advance, and my table was not ready. someone told our party to wait and disappeared with no answer until about 8pm. however, all in all positive.

The golden crabs tonight (30-12-16) seems like not as good as it used to be. The crabs meat is a bit starchy and not firm enough, gravy is a bit too sweet.

Service was good though patchy because of CNY crowd. The food standards were maintained and amazing as always. Prices were slightly inflated during CNY so expect to pay about 30-40% extra during this period.

Chilli Crab and bun was superb. :) The Yam Paste dessert was nice too. The only disappointment was getting to know that I could only occupy the indoor table for about one hour if I reserve the table online. So I eventually chose the outdoor seating.
