Chijmes hit its heights soon after it opened several years ago and although it now mainly attracts tourists it has continued to try to reinvent itself with new restaurants all the while. New Ubin was one that I wasn't aware of but they do a...good job in terms of Singapore favourites such as chilli crab etc. I couldn't say it was better or worse than say the UDMC restaurants.More

Because of dietary concerns I was a bit hesitant about being able to eat the dishes that I preferred. The waitress was most helpful in making suggestions and the kitchen was willing to alter their preparations to satisfy my needs. It was truly a great...dinner!More

Nothing Special. The menu is extensive and the wine list is reasonably priced. The food is ok, some dishes lack some flavor. The Halibut is very fatty and lacked some flavor. The starters are probably the best, some nice choices available and next time I...would stick to those and some of the vegetarian dishes.More

Not the flashiest restaurant but worth finding it for delicious seafood particularly chilli crab. Popular with the locals as well as the expat crowd. So popular there are two sittings. The chill and pepper crab are delicious. And even the steak from the USA is...tender & melts in the mouth. CHIJMES itself is worth a wonder through as well & looks nice at night lit upMore

It was such a disappointment having reunion dinner at new ubin at chijmes. After hearing many good reviews about the restaurant, we decided to book a table for reunion dinner. The food turn out to be terrible. I am sad to say this but I...will not be going again. The price is not equivalent to the quality of the food. The fish maw in the fish maw soup smelled oily. The pork ribs tasted like it was prepared in a hurry before hand, only the sauce is hot and poured on it. The prawn was overcooked and tasteless. The crab meat fried rice tasted like plain rice with a sprinkle of crab meat on top of the fried rice.More

This restaurant is part of Ubin Seafood group, and located in CHIJMES. Even though it’s a seafood restaurant, one of their signature dishes apparently is a steak which taste delicious, besides their bee hoon. Pricing is on the upper side but still considered reasonable, services...are good and efficient. Worth to consider when you’re in Singapore.More

First time here and heard about the place. The famous ribeye and heart attack fried rice comes as a set. Beef was ok and the rice was brown rice apparently cooked in beef fat. Looked like normal brown rice with some flavour and not fried...The rest of the dishes were ok, run of the millMore

Amazing chilly crab ( I guess this is the dish for which you go there), reasonably chilly and very tasty. Other guests loved the chicken satay and the Pungol-style Mee Goreng. The style of service might sound a bit special but I really liked it.

Went first time yesterday for a birthday celebration. Specifically requested for a better table but was placed next to the entrance of kitchen/ food preparation area. Place was quite run down. Staff at check area of our identity (safe management measures) was quite grouchy. Food...wise, nothing to be wow off. The noodles was quite salty and very small portion. Vegetables and Claypot toufu was average. Crabs are not bad only. Overall, for the price paid, there are alot more better options with nice ambience.More

We did a self pick up of our takeaway at the Chijmes outlet and we ordered one of the squid dishes. The portion was very disappointing as we paid $15 for a very small portion of squid. The other items that we ordered such as...the vegetables and fried rice was good, but we were just horrified by how small the portion of the squid was. Will not order it again. While I completely understand that this is a bad time for most of us, especially so for the F&B industry where only takeaways are allowed, such small portions for the amount that we are paying for is unjustifiable.More

The venue itself is a letdown. Terrible pathway to the restaurant and very untidy. Food was generally below par for the group of us. The suckling pig was forgettable, the heart attack fried rice a pale shadow of its former self. The chilli crab was...extremely spicy and unedible. Service was decent though and we appreciate the quick response. Desset was the best thing in the meal. Wont be here for a long whileMore

This is one of my favorite restaurants when come to entertaining foreign guests. Without failed it impressed my foreign guests with its delicious uniquely Singapore dishes. Feedback from my last visit on 2 of its most acclaimed signature dishes: 1. The heart-attack fried rice was...bland and tasted like soy sauce steam rice. The famous wok hei and pungent flavor was totally missing. 2. The hokkien fried noodle was watery and again wok hei was totally missing. Fortunately rest of dishes were still at their usual good standard,More

You have difficulty finding this place and then enter past piles of junk staff lockers and toilets. No staff in sight Inside looks like a junk shop. Too many tables too close to each other i was in doorway of what was one time a...wine store but was now a private dining room this meant a continuous number of people traipsing past You continually get feeling you are being rushed. Elsie touted many things in fact everything on menu . raw. Blue not pink. They were replaced and had been liberally sprinkled with salt. Veery fish had a bowl of salt with it. The wines were lacklustre French or below par Chilean. Every decent wine was out of stock because they continually told me they were changing their wine list. Hopefully to one that disperses salt.The Steamed squid was ok but too much onion. The famous USDA Angus was very fatty and liberally salted the heart attack rice a massive clump of salty brown rice. The egg plant weird. Elsie removed the cost of the lamb and brought coconut ice cream. All told poor. Would not return.More

Food is really good here. One of the better local seafood restaurants in singapore. As it’s the Singapore’s circuit breaker phase 2, so there were strict social safe distancing measures in place. We were ushered into a private room, just 4 of us. The experience...was great. Attentive servers and staff at the restaurant. The food was served fast and hot and tasted awesome! We have ordered the famed “boss beehoon” and it’s a must order. It’s a simple no frills dish but taste heavenly! The rest of the dishes were good too. We had the fried prawn roll, kailan, satay, radish omelette, pork Jowl, hotplate tofu. All turned out to be winners :) Will dine here again. It’s a perfect venue for family dinners and the restaurant is located in the city area which is very convenient for us. Previously I used to go to their Hillview branch which was a tad too far for me. My family loves the food and the dining experience here. Thank you .More
