This fish ball stall, established in 1946, has truly stood the test of time. I finally had the chance to try it today, and all I can say is that it absolutely lives up to its reputation. The prices are also very reasonable!

Classic local flavours done right! The fishballs are fresh and springy, and the meatball soup is full of flavour. Affordable prices and fast service. Great spot for a quick, satisfying meal.

I recently dropped by Ming Fa Fishball Noodles at 335 Smith Street in Chinatown. Founded in 1946, they’ve been around for 78 years and now boast 10 outlets across Singapore. Despite being a hawker stall, the quality here really impressed me. Their fishballs are made fresh daily using 100% pure fish meat—no starch or preservatives—sourced from yellowtail fish, giving them a naturally springy bite and a mild, pleasant aroma. They offer four signature dishes—Fishball Noodles, Minced Meat Noodles, Xiao Guo Mian, and Laksa—and you can pick from eight types of noodles, all produced in-house. Even their chili sauce and vinegar are homemade, adding an extra zing. The stall is clean, air-conditioned, and very wallet-friendly. I’ll definitely be back to enjoy that classic local flavor again!

Must-Try Fishball Noodles in Chinatown! If you're in Singapore, local food is a must! Ming Fa Fishball Noodles, a family-run gem since 1946, is hidden on the 2nd floor of Chinatown Complex Food Centre. Look for the line – it’s worth it! The handmade fishballs are incredibly bouncy, juicy, and filled with fragrant yellowtail fish and tender meat. Pair them with the dry noodles, which are packed with flavor – simply divine! Affordable prices (just $5–$10 SGD) and a perfect spot near Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Sri Mariamman Temple. Pro tip: Avoid peak lunch hours to skip the long queue. Totally worth the wait!

Meat fish balls were big and juicy. The noodles were too hard and needed cooking just a little longer. The crispy wantons were nice but only a tiny bit of meat in it.

Ordered the fried dumplings noodles. Tasted very good and not too oily. Chilli is good. Portion is just nice. Dumplings were crispy. Overall, enjoyed my lunch!

Ordered a bowl of minced meat noodles with chilli and extra vinegar. For $5, the portion is huge and well cooked. The Mee Pok noodles was springy and well coated with the sauce, the chilli and vinegar. Smell so fragrant too. Wanted to have pure fishball soup and asked the lady if we can have those without meat filling. We were served with lots of huge springy fishball at $5. So hugeee and with such a bounce. Forgot if it was $4.50 or $5 for both items but total was $9.50 and dinner was great. The revamp food center is brighter, tables are more solid and place is much cleaner. Payment by cash, grab and other cashless mode. Rem to return ur tray! :)
