This vegetarian restaurant in Chinatown is an absolute gem, especially for those craving dim sum! Vegetarian dim sum is hard to come by in Singapore, but this place truly delivers. The variety and creativity in each dish are impressive—from dumplings to buns, each bite is packed with flavor and crafted with care. The textures are spot-on, making it easy to forget it’s all plant-based. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed meal. If you’re a dim sum lover or vegetarian, this is a must-visit!
I am a long term vegetarian but the truth is Dlife has become more and more unacceptable in terms of STANDARD VS PRICE. It used to be affordable when it was branded as zizai and now a horfun cost me close to $10 WTF… on top of that the horfun sauce is supposed to be stickier but it is watery, and the green chillies are bluntly chopped and too fat, where is the effort? If I’m paying $10 for a plate of horfun at least give me sticky sauce and thinly chopped green chillies will ya? Buck up your standards!!!
Allium-free vegetarian Chinese eatery. Items include zichar-style dishes, rice or noodle bowls, dim sum etc. The menu has recently been revamped with new dishes and clearer labelling for egg/dairy/honey; really appreciate this improvement! Would recommend the Sauerkraut Homemade Dish and Claypot Vinegar Trotter in particular, as they were both really unique and flavourful! Staff is friendly with good service too, directing me to seats away from the sun during hot weather, helping to cover and keep the food warm while I was waiting for other companions, etc. Conveniently accessible via Chinatown MRT Exit E.
Finding good veggie food in asian cuisine can be hard but this place ticks all the boxes 🥰highly highly recommend the marmite ribs and any of the dumpling dishes. As a former meat eater the food tastes just as good as any meat dishes.
D’Life Signature offers a cosy, inviting atmosphere tucked away on an upper floor of Chinatown Point. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking bustling Pagoda Street, it’s the perfect spot to unwind over a basket of vegetarian dim sum and light mains in the heart of the city.
👍 Highlights
• Vegetarian dim sum & dishes: A surprisingly creative menu with classics like har gao and siu mai made entirely plant-based, plus unique items like pumpkin buns and “shrimp” dumplings crafted from konnyaku.
• Ambience & view: The café’s warm wood accents, comfortable seating, and large windows create a relaxed vibe—and the street view adds a dash of Singaporean charm.
• Service: Staff are exceptionally attentive and polite. Water glasses are refilled promptly, and servers are happy to explain ingredients and recommend dishes.
👎 Considerations
• Pricing: Dim sum baskets start around SGD 6–7 each, and mains hover in the SGD 12–16 range. While the quality and presentation justify most of the cost, budgets may feel the pinch if you order several items.
Verdict
D’Life Signature is a must-try for vegetarians and curious foodies alike who value a relaxed setting and friendly service. Although the prices sit a bit above typical kopitiam or mall eateries, the inventive plant-based menu and pleasant street-side ambience make it well worth a return visit. I’ll certainly be back!
Dining at D'life Signature, Chinapoint on January 26 and was surprised to see only one familiar server attending to us. Nonetheless, I’m glad that the food quality remains consistent. Ordered a few dishes to go with rice, all of which tasted as good as before. This is one branch I will visit again.
We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of food options! There were plenty of delicious vegetarian choices, and the portions were generous and satisfying. Every bite was full of flavor. Highly recommended! We’ll definitely be coming back!
After hearing rave reviews about their dim sum, I decided to take my family there for a birthday celebration. Our older folks wanted rice, so we ended up ordering mostly mains. I must say, their main dishes are just as good as their dim sum. Love how they prepare their food and use of ingredients to create well-seasoned and delectable dishes.
Here's what we ordered:
Yam Ring with Kung Po Hericium
Homemade Marmite Pork Ribs
Fragrant Claypot Tofu
Fried Abalone Mushroom
Sambal Four Heaven King
Siew Mai
Crystal Dumplings
Every dish was a hit, and we can't wait to go back and try more of their dim sum!
Feels a little like a canteen. Very hectic place specially in the evening. We felt rushed even though we ate well before closing time. It's not feeling like other D'life places we have eaten at. Food was good.
Very clean place with efficient service staff. There was quite a crowd when we reached the place but it did not take long to wait for our meals.
Noodles are really nice with lots of fresh ingredients.
I also appreciate the management of placing the tower fan near the entrance so as to blow away the smell coming from the Teppanyaki next door. Actually, there are several standing fans near the entrance as well. The smell can be quite overwhelming for long term vegetarians so better to sit inside the restaurant.
Olive fried rice and cereal prawns are extremely tasty! 😋
I love everything here. No complaints only compliments! 😁
