Right in the heart of Chinatown, just above the MRT station, Chinatown Point stands out from the shophouses and heritage shopfronts around it with a genuinely strong food scene of its own. The lineup here goes well beyond the usual mall suspects, world-famous xiao long bao, Sichuan classics and Hong Kong-style dim sum all sit comfortably alongside Japanese yakitori and Thai wok hei.
This guide rounds up 10 places to eat at Chinatown Point, from Din Tai Fung’s legendary soup dumplings to hotpot that runs until 3am. Here’s where to start:
- Wu Wang Guo – healthy hotpot with seven herbal soup bases, open till 3am
- Kohaku Sabo – tendon and udon from the Kohaku tempura family
- Victor’s Kitchen – authentic Hong Kong-style dim sum and porridge
- Kra Pow – queue-worthy Thai wok hei, no service charge
- Nanbantei – open-flame yakitori, best enjoyed at the counter
- Danji Korean BBQ Buffet – all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ, family-run

- Song Fa Bak Kut Teh – Singapore’s iconic peppery pork rib soup
- Mei Heong Yuen Dessert – traditional shaved ice and herbal jelly desserts
Let’s take a closer look at each spot….
Wu Wang Guo – Chinatown Point
Wu Wang Guo is one of Chinatown Point’s standout hotpot spots, built around seven different soup bases, each brewed for hours with premium Chinese herbs for a naturally robust flavour without relying on heavy seasoning. The WWG Collagen Beauty Soup takes at least eight hours to simmer down from pork and chicken bones to its signature clean, milk-white texture. Beyond the broths, the handmade balls are a highlight too, especially the ebiko prawnball and scallop prawnball. Staying open until 3am, it’s a reliable late-night option in a mall that mostly closes much earlier.

Kohaku Sabo – Chinatown Point
A newer addition to the mall from the established Kohaku family of tendon restaurants, Kohaku Sabo is a Japanese cafe concept built around tempura rice bowls and udon. The signature move here is the Half & Half, a half-size bowl of Kohaku tendon paired with your choice of udon, letting you try both without overordering. The mentaiko cream sauce udon with ikura topping is worth the upgrade. Desserts, available from 1:30pm, round things off nicely, with a sweet potato brulee that pairs well with a hot O-matcha.

Victor’s Kitchen – Chinatown Point
A bit of a hidden gem at basement level, Victor’s Kitchen has been serving authentic Hong Kong-style dim sum, porridge, chee cheong fun and milk tea for years, helmed by a head chef who’s a Hong Kong native. The golden egg yolk lava buns arrive piping hot, oozing a sweet, decadent custard and egg yolk paste, best eaten with care. The cheong fun here is silky and generously stuffed with carrots, cabbage and prawn, and pairs well with the HK summer iced milk tea, chilled over ice rather than mixed with it to avoid diluting the flavour.

Kra Pow – Chinatown Point
Kra Pow is a lunchtime crowd favourite at Chinatown Point, known equally for its authentic Thai flavours and its well-executed wok hei, so be prepared to queue. The Drunkard Noodle with tiger prawn and fresh squid is the dish to order if you like your food properly spicy, silky flat rice noodles stir-fried hard with hot basil and Thai bird’s-eye chilli. The Krapow, their take on crackling pork belly, is roasted to a crisp skin with tender meat underneath, served with a tangy Pommery Dijon mustard sauce. No service charge, casual atmosphere.

Nanbantei – Chinatown Point
Nanbantei specialises in yakitori, the Japanese art of grilling skewers over an open flame, and takes real pride in the craft, char on the outside, juicy within. Grab a seat at the counter if you can, so you can watch the chefs work and get your skewers served fresh off the grill. For lunch, the kurobuta don is a standout, perfectly grilled black iberico pork over warm rice, topped with an onsen egg. For dinner, the yakitori course features 12 signature skewers across chicken, pork, beef, seafood and vegetables, a good introduction if it’s your first visit.

Danji Korean BBQ Buffet – Chinatown Point
Run by a Korean family, Danji Korean BBQ Buffet delivers an authentically Korean atmosphere to go with its all-you-can-eat spread of meats, seafood and Korean sides. The pork belly, available in soy, wine, garlic and spicy marinades, is the clear favourite, with the beef bulgogi close behind. Don’t overlook the seafood station either, the prawns on offer are large and properly fresh. Weekday lunch buffets start from a relatively affordable S$23 per adult, rising to S$32 for a weekend dinner.

Shu Yan Sichuan Cuisine – Chinatown Point
Hailing from Chengdu, Shu Yan serves a proper spread of authentic Sichuan classics: fried chicken with dry chilli, grilled fish and spicy bullfrog among them, all in a clean, spacious, air-conditioned dining room. The Szechuan-style special grilled fish comes in four flavour profiles, with the Green Pepper option standing out for its lively, slightly sweet finish. The mapo tofu nicely showcases Sichuan cooking’s balancing act, spicy and numbing yet sweet and savoury, made richer with a touch of Chinese wine. Best shared with company so you can work through more of the extensive menu.

Din Tai Fung – Chinatown Point
Little introduction needed for Din Tai Fung, the Taiwanese institution that turned xiao long bao into a global phenomenon. Each soup dumpling is folded by hand, traditionally 18 pleats, filled with a rich pork broth that bursts the moment you bite in. Beyond the signature Xiao Long Bao, the fried rice with egg and braised beef noodle soup are both well worth ordering. Expect a wait at peak hours, this remains one of the most consistently busy restaurants in any mall it calls home.

Song Fa Bak Kut Teh – Chinatown Point
Song Fa has built its name on one dish, done the Teochew way: bak kut teh, pork ribs simmered for hours in a broth built heavily on white pepper rather than the darker, herbal Hokkien style. The result is a clean, peppery, deeply savoury soup best eaten with a bowl of rice and a side of you tiao for dipping. Simple, unpretentious, and one of the more authentically Singaporean options in the mall.

Mei Heong Yuen Dessert – Chinatown Point
When you need something cold and sweet after a round of hotpot or Sichuan spice, Mei Heong Yuen Dessert is the move. This heritage dessert chain specialises in traditional Chinese-style treats: shaved ice piled with red bean, mango or durian, alongside herbal jelly (guilinggao) and other old-school favourites. It’s a straightforward, nostalgic dessert stop that balances out a lot of the mall’s spicier, heavier options.
