Had the soy sauce chicken noodles and it was amazing, tender, flavorful chicken with perfectly cooked noodles. The staff were really friendly too. One of the few places open early in the morning, which is a big plus. Just note that they only accept cash. Will definitely come back!

Didn’t expect the soy sauce chicken to be so nice. This shop has a very high standard. The soy sauce chicken is prepared in the most traditional way. The skin is sweet, but the meat inside is still very tender and doesn’t absorb any sweetness, makes it valuable. The soy dark sauce for dipping not that sweet too. Not those super with added sugar but not from the soy sauce. Reasonable price for the 4 person. Uncle aunties are very friendly. They are helpful and supporting the business.

Delicious soy sauce chicken. Noodles are crunchy with a good sauce. An old school soy sauce chicken shop that have been around for ages. Chicken soft, tender and well seasoned. There is another competitor shop nearby but I believe this is the authentic one.

Been there as a child. Remembered place was warm and not well lighted then. Food option was basic then. Lots of diners and roadside pickups then. Revisited and the place is better ventilated and bright. Food not as flavourful maybe in line with the healthier track promoted. Chicken remains tender though. Unlikely to order the soup dumplings if I should visit again. Skin is thick and has a smell (the meat ) that does not go well with me. Price has gone up much. Will revisit for the nostalgia .

This is a place I always come back to whenever I’m in the Chinatown area. Established in the 1940s, this iconic eatery is widely credited with pioneering soy sauce chicken in Singapore—a dish that has since become a beloved staple both locally and internationally. During my recent visit, I indulged in their signature Soy Sauce Chicken, served with a side of springy noodles and vibrant greens. The chicken was incredibly tender, with each bite infused with the rich, aromatic soy sauce blend that Chew Kee has perfected over decades. The noodles were light yet flavorful, soaking up the delicious sauce beautifully, and the accompanying clear soup added a comforting touch to the meal. What keeps me coming back isn’t just the food—it’s the consistency, the unpretentious charm of the place, and the knowledge that I’m tasting a piece of Singapore’s culinary history. Pro Tip: Come during off-peak hours to skip the queue.
