Fantastic service, service staff are very attentive. Quality of food is good.
They're having a Peking duck half price promotion and we ordered it. The first part - wrapped duck skin wasn't tasty, almost tasted bland (you had to put your own sauce/cucumber/spring onion so that's not the issue). It just doesn't seem to have been marinated well. But the biggest disappointment is how long it took for the 2nd part using the duck meat to be served. We opted for lettuce+minced duck for half, and other half eefu noodles. Both took way too long to be done and by then we had long finished all other dishes and were ready to leave. Having said that, must compliment that the minced duck was very well done. Other dishes - jade tofu was v good. The Passionfruit sauced fried prawn was weird, didn't seem to go well with that combination but maybe it's personal. Service staff were polite despite the obvious busyness and not bad service relative to what you get outside these days.
Same comment as the previous few trips, good food and good services
My friends and I enjoy the food very much. It is really nice
First time eating there food was fantastic. The Peking duck is a must try food.
Still has the standard, food was great and the restaurant maintains tip top in service
Excellent service and food. Guests from China enjoyed themselves. Compliments to the team.
good service provided by the service crew, nice food at very competitive pricing
Pleasant visit and nice chinese food (with dim sum) and service.
Good food and service! Table was big enough for five.
Excellent food and very good service. Food portion size is very good too
Nice dining environment very friendly staff and delicious food with reasonable price.
The Peking Duck offer is a draw. My usual restaurant. The glass Merlot is not so robust.
Excellent service n good food especially the peking duck promotion between oct n dec
The food is always good. The Peking duck was very well done. The only thing lacking was the service. The waitresses were sour faced n appeared not to b enjoying their work.
Good place for a lunch discussion as service is fast and non intrusive
We always enjoy the dining experience at The Scholar because of the delicious menu - the black pepper beef is a favourite! - but just as much, the excellent service. Sebastian and his team are stars.
Food good service prompt ambience good value for money meals
Value for money, good food reasonable price but service standard poor
Their food is always very good, and so is their service.
Peking duck menu is nice. Price of food is not too expensive
Excellent environment with friendly waiters and waitresses. Good and delicious food.
Enjoyed food at The Scholar. Staff are attentive. Restaurant is conducive for group meetings.
Food is served hot and ingredients are fresh. Always enjoyed The Scholar.
Restaurant is suitable for group gatherings and food is always impeccable.
Excellent dim sum lunch. The braised mee sua was very delicious. Do try the bait fish with egg yolk. It’s amazing.
The good quality of food and service in the town.
visiting over a long public holiday weekend is always the best.. it's crowded but it's tolerable. we had three soups (individual portions of hot and sour soup, hokkien fish maw soup, and sweet corn and crab meat soup) and they were all to die for.. yummers... also had the peking duck (so good - still one of my faves), beef - i didn't get to try it cos my fiance ate all, and the prawns with wasabi. yummo.. ended off with the crisp red bean pancake :P~ good food paired with great service :D
Perfect as usual. Definitely our Favorite place on the campus
Very nice food but ambience can be better. Overall it was a pleasant experience
Generally very satisfied. However when I was there the waiter couldn’t find my name as my family name comes last.
We went there for a birthday celebration. The staff made us feel happy.
Very good food and excellent service at a very reasonable price.
The serving crew , including the Manager was attentive to our needs . A very pleasant dining experience as we were celebrating our granddaughter ‘s 10th birthday.
Despite the big crowd,service was good and the peking duck was fantastic. Shall try out the lobster the next time.
I will recommence more people to visit the SCHOLAR Restaurant again
I invited 2 friends for their first dining experience at The Scholar. My 2 guests were very pleased with the quality of food, the service and the general ambience. We will certainly come again.
Great experience! Sure to return! Food is good! 😂 😂
Food was great and really value for money. Service was excellent and staff were helpful and always ready to serve like filing up your cups with tea and replacing old plates with new ones. However there seem to be a strong bad smell when entering the restaurant. Ambience was average .
Great food. Good value. Service not bad. Good variety. Happy
Very good as usual. They have a wide variety of selections
Best place to try Chinese food close to the NUS
Good food. Little slow in getting the bill otherwise service quite good.
Service efficient, professionally courteous could be a bit more personable. Food quality is good, portion size decent. Salted egg yolk custard buns could have had more molten centres. Tea stopped being topped up voluntarily after 1.30pm, and one had to summon waiter. Nose levels high -but overall experience, pleasant and satisfying.
Frequently visited place with dim sum lunch. Very good quality food and service.
Good food and prompt service that is value for money.
nice place, value for money food, good for family gathering
Quality of food never fails to impress the guests we host there.
The food and service was good. They are pushy about reservations even when there are available tables and occasionally will put small groups at larger tables with other people even if there are available smaller tables. But other than that, the restaurant is fine if you know what you want and you make reservations in advance.
It was ok, not bad. No need to wait for too long.
