    Make this your dim-sum fail safe option. Reasonably priced, indoor / outdoor seating, great array of dishes, drinks, and desserts to complete your meal. Perfect for sharing in groups.

    So blessed to be served with so much efficiency from the staff. Everyone working here is making an effort to serve the customers well despite the fact that the place is crowded. The cashier aunty is so thoughtful and noticed my young niece needed a fork instead of chopstick and she multitasks with cashier duties and serving the food together with her other colleagues. Really appreciate her energetic and her dedication 🤩🥰

    Love the vib. I have been coming here since I was schooling and this outlet reminds me of my youthful days. 😂😂😂 Food is amazing. I order whatever I had ordered and it never fails to disappoint me. Service is fast and the person taking the Q for us was friendly and helpful to get us the table next to the road so that I can see my car. Awesome!

    We came here for an early dinner. The queue for a table wasn’t too bad considering it is the weekend. We sat outdoors and the cool evening breeze made it very pleasant to sit out. We enjoyed the food. And perhaps maybe over ordered. But we like the food. And will certainly return. Purchased some frozen baos from the restaurant which we can steam for breakfast next day.

    The must go to Tim sum place especially during the night or late night for your craving Tim sum snacks. The standard is very consistent on the high side. The food are really fresh, hot and yummy. Decor is normal, but is the food that why you are here. A big selection of Tim sum to choose from and the delicious hand pull noodle, a must try. And never leave the place without ending your meal with the old classic deserts.

    Nice old school style dim sum. Price is reasonable. Service is fast too. May need to queue if you come during peak hours, even though they have two shop lots side by side. The dishes are freshly made, and the fillings are nice. It is worth to eat over here, compare to many other dim sum shop. Parking is relatively easy by the road side.

    Sunday lunch, waited for around 20 mins to get seated indoor. Convenient service by ordering with QR code. Food serviced fast. But the food was so so, not really delicious, not really bad. In my personal opinion, the best foods were cucumber and steamed pork ribs. I sat indoor, but it was literally hot as the air conditioner was turned off. 2 people around 56SGD. They don’t accept visa/ master card. Bad

    What a surprise! I LOVED this restaurant. The most delicious dim sum ever!! We sat in the open area and it was really nice. We didn’t have data in our phones so we couldn’t order with the QR code but the staff gave us a sheet of paper and a pencil to order. Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS. For fellow tourists: make sure you have cash since they don’t accept card payments (there is an ATM nearby)

    Swee Choon is a very famous Dim Sum restaurant that has been running since 1962. It has some of the best handmade dim sum with a wide variety. We ordered quite a few things from the menu, and the prices are also reasonable. It is also one of the places in Singapore that are open till late at night. The service is quick and the food is delicious. It is easy to locate and has ample seating.

    Food were all good, especially the noodles. Not too oily or sweet. The queue system is good, if you don't mind to sit at their non-aircon area, you can get a seat quite fast on a weekend lunch time. Recommended to give a try.

    2nd time here. It is still so good. Had expanded their sitting capacity. I like their Q system where you get to know your status of Q number. The food varieties are good. Those who didn't try, probably give them a chance to experience yourself.

    Visited the dim sum restaurant for lunch. Actually this restaurant has a long history and this is my childhood favourite. There is a good variety of dim sum options available and the food tastes decent and delicious. Their fried meesua is tasty too. From what I recall, they used to only have one stall at the stretch of shophouses but with booming business, they have expanded and their entire shophouse stretch is now taken over by the restaurant, serving customers locally and tourists.

    Swee choon has 90+ tables spanning 4 shops spaces and opens until late, a great place to get supper with friends. Fried items were fried upon order and food is served fast. Loved the variety of dim sum and dishes they served and everything tasted decent! Highly recommend the fried eggplant with pork floss as it taste light and crispy, sour & spicy soup is also pretty good

    Swee Choon Tim Sum Restaurant has been a traditional handmade Dim Sum restaurant since 1962. My family of 4 went down for lunch. We ordered several Dim Sum from their menu. Generally, the taste and quality of their food are good - fresh and decent portion sizes. The price is reasonable too. The indoor sitting area is clean with aircon. They also have outdoor and black alley seating. Service is decent, and the food came pretty fast. Parking there can be quite challenging. You can only park by the street-side parking lots. We will surely go back again.

    Caught this joint with little to no queue! Ordered 3 items to try. My first time. Meesuah cake was crunchy and soft, not overly greasy. Fried carrot cake was oily though. Custard buns was full of condensed milk fragrance! Love it! My first try. Will be back for more.

    Swee Choon's dimsum is alright if you don't set too high an expectation. Service and dining environment is comfortable. Lots of variety from noodles to stir fry items. Can cater for all diners. Price is reasonable. 7/10.

  • 4/5 jordan k. 5 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Tried out some of the suggested specialties, including their shrimp fried rice, Sichuan chili oil wanton, and sweet potato salted egg ball. Each dish delivered a unique and delightful burst of flavors. The prawn and banana fritter boasted a crisp exterior, giving way to a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors within. The pastries ordered were generously filled, resulting in a burst of rich and flavorful goodness with every bite. The Shrimp fried rice deserves a special mention as it stands out as one of the finest I've ever tasted, boasting fresh shrimp and perfectly textured rice, with each bite delivering a delightful array of flavors

    I support Swee Choon really do not want to see them disappear! They have been around for decades. My late grandparents n parents loved this dim sum joint for years. More than a decade ago I sat at the back alley tables for morning breakfast start at 6am. Currently their operations hours have shortened. Swee Choon used to have a few competitors within the same vicinity here in the 70s to 90s, all have closed n shut for good. Their Lor Mai Kai n Char Siew Bao are authentic! Over the years they widened their menu n also removed some dishes. Today my bill for 4 dishes with taxes only $15.15. I am truly pleased 😃! 5 stars ⭐️

    First time trying out this Singapore Famous Dim Sum restaurant which open till late 4am. We used the QR to scan and order, and food came shortly after. First the tea was served, followed by the remaining of the dim sum. And lastly the dessert. Overall the taste was good, and portion was decent.

    I recently visited Swee Choon Tim Sum Restaurant in Singapore and I must say, it was definitely worth the hype. Despite always being busy, the food and experience were truly exceptional. I would give this restaurant a 4.5/5 rating for its delicious food, great atmosphere, and efficient service. The highlight of the meal was definitely the dim sum. The restaurant offers a wide range of dim sum options, all of which were packed with flavor and expertly crafted. I particularly enjoyed the pork dumplings and the shrimp dumplings, which were both perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. The atmosphere at Swee Choon Tim Sum Restaurant was also fantastic. Although always busy, the restaurant had a great energy and atmosphere, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. The decor was traditional and charming, giving the restaurant a cozy and welcoming vibe. Finally, the service at the restaurant was efficient and friendly. Despite the crowds, our food arrived promptly and our waiter was always on hand to make recommendations and answer any questions we had. Overall, I would highly recommend Swee Choon Tim Sum Restaurant to anyone looking for a great dim sum experience in Singapore. The delicious food, great atmosphere, and efficient service make it a standout choice.

    Extremely insanely crowded on a Friday night at 10pm however the queue cleared surprisingly quickly…we figured it was because they had an equally absurd number of tables. Do take the following review with a pinch of salt; may not be entirely accurate as we were starving and as ghandi says…the best ingredient is hunger. We got the following: 1. Fried yam puffs: minced pork and peas on the inside, kind of like a chicken pie. Nice! 2. Lo mai gai: very moist n not too chicky. I liked it. 3. Fried bean curd prawn roll: mmm the meat patty was a tad too meaty… 4. Fried prawn and banana: Cant decide if this is a main or dessert, but interesting 5. Char Siew chee Cheong fun: Amazing!!! Loved the chewy stretchy rice rolls 6. Orh nee: the best dessert. Super thick and filling

    Since 1962, Swee Choon prides itself that their dim sum is more than simple affordable fare, instead it is a handcrafted experience. Really? We think it’s overrated and the taste has not moved to a more affluent Singapore. Yet it is not cheap and worse they slap 10% Service Charge and 7% GST on top of the bill. I think you can get almost same quality at 1/2 the price at $1.30 AMK Dim Sum

    Excellent experience there. Their fried food was very crispy and hot. Can order grass jelly as it goes well with the fried food and buns. Price is affordable as well. We would definitely order more if we can finish them.

    Assigned a ticket to one of slotted shoplets, to the seat with ease. QR menu means order with ease from own phone. Menu does not adequately show inclusion of surcharges or its %. Food was standardized decent. Table service was friendly. Experience was great till payment. Service with payment supervisor was starkly clammed. Visa Debit was adamantly not accepted, so paid cash. Only final payment bill will show actual service charges. Wet tissues placed as part of table setting charged at 20cts each. Flooring is slippery!

    This us one of those old brand that transformed successfully! The food seems to get better over time, the service is awesome as well, without any pek cek aunties or uncle haha. The digitalization definitely helped relieve some of the workscope, so its more managable by the service team! From Q system to ordering to food and payment, everything was spot on! Only thing to point out was the floor, very oily and slippery, please look into it! Slip a few times despite normal walking abt. Other patron and also some of the elderly staff too!!!!

    A very good restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating arrangements. We visited this place at night and the place was fully packed , had to wait for sometime to get the food but it was worth every penny, we tried shrimp rice and red baked bean pancakes along with tea. Everything tasted very good and the prices were reasonable too

  • 4/5 Victor H. 2 months ago on Google • 54 reviews New
    Update 2/2/2024 : Oh I did come back for more, the Pau(s) are recommended, so soft and the fillings are delicious, the Har Cheong Gai (Prawn Paste Fried Chicken) is great too, but the Yang Zhou Fried Rice was a miss, same as the Hor Fun previously, lacking Wok Hau, and the 3 Egg Spinach Broth was unbalanced with too much Salted Egg. So it seems that the conclusion is Sweet Choon Dim Sum and Fried products are recommended compared to the rest I mean my age group practically grew up with Zouk and Swee Choon eh? Hahaha but yeah, now it is on the pricier side, with some hits and misses, it really seems like the hawker culture is dying as there was a lack of Wok Hay, and nowadays Har Gow > Shrimp Cheong Fun, fried wantons is recommended, and will be back to try more, as I’m not always in the country

    Our jet lag still messing us up so we wanted to stay local. We stumbled across this very buzzy restaurant and managed to get a seat. Really good menu with mix of dim sum and other Chinese classics. Simply prepared and very delicious. A very satisfying meal. We shared: • Rice Roll with Prawn (Cheong Fun) • Rice Roll with Charsiew (Cheong Fun) • Shanghai Xiao Long Bao • Sauteed Long Beans with Minced Pork • BBQ Pork Rice We'll be back.

  • 1/5 Jazz 4 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Tried dim sum at T2 outlet. Most of the items tasted like heating up frozen food. Served warm or worse room temperature. 3 pieces of prawns chee cheong fun were hard like dried shrimps. Fried Beancurd prawn were so oily. Waitress did not bother to clear the table. Disappointing experience, certainly won't be back.

  • 3/5 Jingwei L. 2 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    Not so good experience but food was good. When I arrived at the store, I was standing at the doorstep and confused about where to seat. One of the staff noticed me, but didn't bother telling me where can I sit until I asked him. After ordering, I waited a while before the tea and chicken arrived. However, around 20-30mins after my order, the steamed pork ribs and porridge has not arrived yet, so I asked the staff. Somehow, the steam pork ribs arrived right after I asked the staff. No updates about the porridge. I waited another 10 min for the porridge, but to no avail. I asked another staff to check for me again, but she didn't get back to me. 5 mins later, I asked another staff, whom I informed her that I can't wait for too long, and she eventually helped me to check and found my porridge. I'm frankly fine with the waiting time, I would have understood if it's busy. But Its disappointing that I asked 3 different staff for my porridge and no one got back to me. As such, my suggestion is that if the food item requires waiting, it can be stated in the menu, or the staff can update the customer, giving the customer the option to cancel or change thier order if the wait is going to be beyond 30mins. It is an awkward experience to be sitting there watching everyone else finish their food and leave, while I'm still sitting there. Otherwise, staff attitude is okay, especially the aunty who eventually found my porridge and apologised to me. Time ordered: 6:14pm Time recieved: 6:57pm I've heard a lot of good things about Swee Choon from my parents, but I guess that's the experience they had back in the good old days, not now anymore. Giving it a 3 becuase the food is quite nice. But for the experience, it was dissapointing. Order the porridge only if you can wait.

    Heat stroke can hit u hard if you sit right beside the street and please make sure you are in the preferred table before you order. The staff won’t allow you to move after your first order,but still managed to serve the wrong order!!!(as u can see i’ve got siew mai that I didn’t order). Gave it back. Never said sorry or thank you. They just give ‘whatever’ attitude. Food is so so.

  • 4/5 Lee lian T. 7 months ago on Google
    First time trying out this Dim Sum restaurant, reach there around 10am, we are the first customer. We used the QR to scan and order, and food came shortly after. We order Ju-Pu for our first drink, its warm our stomach, followed by the remaining of the dim sum. Salted egg yolk custard bun, siew mai and chai siew bao, congee with minced meat & century egg was my favourite but for the beancurd seafood roll i dont really like it fishy smell, Overall the taste was good and portion was decent.

  • 5/5 Cyrielle 7 months ago on Google
    As a European tourist, I absolutely loved this place! This restaurant served quality dishes. The long bao and chiar siu bao were amazing. I especially loved the black sesame balls for dessert with the melted sesame lava inside. Delicious! It's not too expensive (but you need to add GST + 10% service) and service is fast. Some kitchen specials are not available at lunch. There is a lot of place inside to sit in and a to-go counter. The towels to clean your hands are to be returned when you pay or you will be charged 0,2$ for each.

  • 4/5 Celeste T. 8 months ago on Google
    As usual the classic favorites do not disappoint. Queue was surprisingly fast ~10mins and we got our table though it's PH. Virtual queue no longer available. tried the national day special chill crab bun, was not disappointed! Salted egg bun & xiaolongbao are still top favorites!

  • 4/5 Orange 7 months ago on Google
    All the dim sum are tasty. But price is steep when portions are shrinking over the years. Our favorites are carrot cake, fried prawn dumpling and chee chong fun. 10/10 Longan doufu is super sweet and it’s very different from the picture. 4/10 Fried golden toufu with pork floss is on the salty side 7/10 Beancurd prawn roll taste abit different from the usual kind. 6/10. I hope their dim sum size do not shrink any more…

  • 5/5 Deepak S. 2 years ago on Google
    stays open till 2am. Perfect place to find food if you are hungry post 10pm. The bean paste bao and pork bao are delicious. Wanton dumpling and the steam pork ribs are truly cantonese style authentic flavored ! Also had ordered Jasmine tea. Entire experience made me miss China !!

  • 5/5 tankyuwu 5 months ago on Google
    Went for breakfast with my dad. Above average dim sum although pricier. We enjoyed lor Mai gai and mee Sua kueh the most, rest were ok too. Went about 9am on a Saturday and there was no queue although quite substantial customers already dining in

  • 4/5 Jellio_Pau G. 6 months ago on Google
    Have not eaten at Swee Choon for many years. We went because there were some new items in the menu. They serving 拉面 now and we ordered the 酸菜拉面,it was delicious. The sourness was at the spot, noodles was well cooked. It tasted so much better than those big brand restaurants. Sometime big restaurants couldn't even make a simple dish well. My husband missed his childhood steam chicken with egg. It looked plain but the simple flavour is tradition. The braised chicken legs are not overly sweet more towards the savory side. Congee is very Hong kong style, their must have fried mee sua cake was still as good as before. So glad the revisitation to the Swee.Choon gave us much surprises and satisfaction. We will come again, bringing our kids and in law at their off peak hours.

  • 4/5 Rajas J. 6 months ago on Google
    This was my first time having Dim Sum in Singapore. So it was a fresh experience for me. The place is quite simple looking but the experience of the food is quite the opposite. Each bite of the items tried as super exciting and every item was worth trying. My personal favourite was the Sweet potato salted egg ball. It was an explosion of flavor as I dug in. The sweet and sour pork was equally flavourful and perfectly crispy.

  • 4/5 Grégory 2 years ago on Google
    Fast service and good dim sum 🥟 that’s why it’s popular. Onions pancakes are delicious.

  • 5/5 YUU L. 4 months ago on Google
    Delicious food, waiters are very attentive, and super nice. Everything is so tasty, you cannot restraint yourself from having all of the dishes. Plus it’s all at an affordable price. Can totally recommend it and will definitely come back again.

  • 5/5 Kingston H. 5 months ago on Google
    One of the greatest dim sum I have tried in Singapore. Suggest to go during dinner hours as it is not so crowded compare to having supper. Food is delicious. Price is alright. Definitely should try out thier signature dish as its worth it a try.

  • 5/5 Jordon G. 5 months ago on Google
    Came to Swee Choon's main branch twice on my most recent trip to Singapore and am very impressed. First visit came right after I landed on a Wednesday night at around 11:30PM with no queue and easily got a table inside as they have both outdoor and indoor seatings and ordered the Sichuan Chilli Oil Wanton, Har Cheong (Rice Roll with Prawn) and Chive Pork Dumplings and service was super fast in the dishes coming immediately after my order was placed! I was very satisfied with all 3 dishes after a 7 hour plane journey. Second visit came on a Saturday night again at around 11PM and this time had to wait a while as I had wanted to dine indoors. The staff was kind enough to give the WiFi password in order to join the queue as I had no internet access and was also able to order via. QR code which would be handy on subsequent visits. This time I tried the Har Gao, Siew Mai, Plain Chee Cheong Fun and Peking Dumplings and again was very impressed by the service, especially by the pink haired aunty who served me and of course from the food itself. Do note that the restaurant is cash only and prices are exceptionally reasonable, regardless of the items I ordered being served as either 2 or 4 pieces. Overall I really enjoyed both my experiences and is easily a late night restaurant that I will certainly come to when I come back to Singapore. Sending some love from Melbourne, Australia!!

    One can honestly never go wrong to get their dim sum cravings fixed here. Swee Choon had went through many revamps over the year and throughout this pandemic, they had implemented queue numbers, takeaway booths and even islandwide delivery. Props to the OG dim sum brand for keeping up with times! Staff were also extra attentive, had some struggles with the noodles and they approached with a scissors offering to cut it. Extra chairs were also provided to us for our bags.

  • 5/5 Fun K. 5 months ago on Google
    Still one of my favorite dim sum joints, offering food served very quickly. Swee Choon seems to have figured out their winning formula. Offering simple fares at reasonable pricing served very quickly. This dim sum eatery has blossomed from one small shop space to taking over the neighboring spaces for their never ending queue of customers. We ordered quite a few dishes. Cucumber with black fungus was a surprise crowd winner, even winning over someone who does not usually enjoy cold dishes with its simple and light garlicky taste. The porridge was so so, a rather small bowl though but I wasn’t watery so you do get it chock full of ingredients. The chilli wanton was abit of a let down, as the spice level was abit meh. I loved the Kang kong stir fried with garlic. With the simple way of cooking, it brought out the freshness of the vegetables. I like the fried pork too, it was marinated just right and very tender and not over fried. The tentacles was abit over fried and was kind of like chewing on rubber. I would definitely hands down visit Swee Choon anytime. *good to note: I ordered a takeaway of egg tarts, char Siew puff at the outside takeaway kiosk. Waiting time was very short too, and staff ensured items were tied up properly for ease transportation back home. Egg tarts still tasted amazing when they were cold.

  • 4/5 Kevin K. 2 years ago on Google
    Very value for money dim sum here at swee choon and it’s not bad. It’s not as good as Tim Ho wan but it’s much cheaper than Tim Ho wan as well so . This restro spans over 3 shops worth of spaces so there’s a lot of seating, but it can still get crowded. We came at the stated opening time but there’s already ppl eating inside!

  • 5/5 Stephen K. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best place for cheap and good dimsum in SG. Everything in the photos are highly recommended. Normally will Q up on Friday and weekend after 7pm and they no longer accept online reservations as of the day I visited on 25 Dec 2021.

  • 3/5 Joshua T. 2 years ago on Google
    Ate here a few years ago and the taste back then was different as compared to today. Standard seems to have changed, the porridge was very watery, char siew bao was not bad, liu sha bao was very good, fried rice with pork chop was okay.

  • 3/5 edlonsc 2 years ago on Google
    BBQ pork puff pastry is good, Fried Yam is normal, dumpling is normal, Chee Cheong Fun just skipped it due to the wrap too thick, dim sum nothing fantastic and Custard bun is just OK.

  • 5/5 yohanes k. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is huge, the food is super nice. The liew shabao is superb. The waiters are helpful and friendly. This is the place to find a nice dim sum ! Recommended!

  • 4/5 Gra C. 2 years ago on Google
    The sesame ball paste is fragrant and the texture is chewy. Overall food is great. Selection of Dim sum is great! Dinner menu seems pretty attractive, will try next time.

  • 3/5 Sze Yan C. 2 years ago on Google
    Always my go to place for dimsum! However, the lave bun standard has dropped... It's not as runny as it used to be, more like a custard bun now Soursop drink also not very nice, too diluted and too sweet Mala siewmai wasn't nice either. The filing was totally different, it was filled with many little crunchy kernel (water chestnut)

  • 4/5 FRan 2 years ago on Google
    My first time eating dim sum here. Ordered the custard bun was ok but not the best. The chicken feet was good. Banana prawn roll so far was the best. Steam pork ribs yam was yummy. With meaty and oily stuff it goes well with cucumber and black fungus.

  • 5/5 Israporn C. 1 year ago on Google
    Best dim sum in my view. Spicy and sour soup is great too if you never tried, recommend. Price-wise is reasonable. Just a bit more crowd when country is open 😋😋

  • 4/5 Alice L. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here for my late dinner. Been a while since my last visit. The dim sum still as good. First time tried their Sichuan Chilli Oil Wanton, nice and juicy, surprisingly not so oily. Love their rice roll with prawn too. the rice roll was smooth and the sauce just nice not too salty. The fried stuff a bit disappointed as the chicken wing and yam fritter we ordered is not hot as what we expect.

  • 4/5 Jay J. 2 years ago on Google
    Long time did not visit this Swee Choon for donkey years. As usual order the Plain La Mian in Oil & Onion. The noodles has the taste. The chicken feet still as sweet. The cucumber w/black fungus still has the crunchy bite. As for the desert, still as sweet as before w/the mango cube.

  • 4/5 Dimitri M. 2 years ago on Google
    Lines at midnight should be a good sign and it was. Great flavours that arrived home and tasted great. Put this one on the list for very good dim sum late night take out.

  • 4/5 liya s. 9 months ago on Google
    The stall restaurant is open late night even and still serves A-Z of their menu. We loved their mango desserts very much. However, they have a poor service. With multiple seating spaces it confuses first visit customers and they didn’t allow us to dine in tho several seats were available.

  • 3/5 Roderick T. 1 year ago on Google
    Went during a hot weekday afternoon. Near closing hours. Not crowded half of which are passing tourist. Use QR quote to order so need to wait for service. Air con cold enough but if fully seated maybe a bit warm. They rest from 3pm. Payment cash or Nets only. Usual Tim sum. Next street another new Tim sum so guess now it's not so crowded

  • 5/5 Shawn 1 year ago on Google
    Swee Choon is a popular late night supper spot in Singapore. It has lots of dim sum choices of all kind of flavoured. The food is great, service have improve tremendously by ordering from an app. The serving time is now shorten. Now they have newer food as well. Still an amazing place to go have supper.

    Large variety of dim sum that's served fast upon order. Enjoyed all of them and while prices have gone up, it is overall still quite affordable. Tried something different called lychee cheese ball (red coloured in pictures) and it was really nice!

    Popular place so it’s advisable to book before you go. Nice choice of dim sum dishes and fast service, so maybe pace yourself a bit and not order everything in a go like we did. I love the HK Honey Butter French Toast.

    Swee Choon is a very famous Dim Sum restaurant that has been running since 1962. It has some of the best handmade dim sum with a wide variety. We ordered quite a few things from the menu, and the prices are also reasonable. It is also one of the places in Singapore that are open till late at night. The service is quick and the food is delicious. It is easy to locate and has ample seating.

    Went at 10+am on a Saturday. Got an indoors table easily. Self order by scanning QR code. Menu is extensive with a variety of steamed and fried items. But they only have 1 type of porridge (minced pork century egg). Food was served quickly. Overall it tasted alright but was on the salty side. The pork ribs was more fatty than meaty but I liked the accompanying yam cubes. The PuEr-Chrysanthemum tea went well with the dim sum.

    Salted egg goodness! The steamed bun was so soft and the custard was so gooey and flavorful! Food choices and portions are similar to Din Tai Fung. We enjoyed the eggplant with pork floss, sweet and sour pork, and the custard buns!

    Edited 4/7 Overall it is quite a nice restaurant. But be prepared to wait for quite a bit. We waited (3-4 pple) for about 50mins, before we sat down to order our food. Thankfully, food came quickly without delay. The food was generally delicious, and the price was reasonable for the portion. In my opinion I feel the food was worth the hype, but some that were recommended were not very impressive in terms of taste (Mee Sua Kueh). The food could be crisper in my opinion. The restaurant was mainly plain white walls, apart from a few large paintings. It would have been better decorated with a 'traditional' vibe.

    Highlight of my Singapore trip this time is Swee choon. It takes a bit of walk from MRT station to the place. No booking is needed as there are quite a lot of tables in different sections. The dim sums that I ordered were so close to the traditional ones that I had in Hongkong and Shanghai in my childhood. Nowadays it’s hard to find places like this who keeps the traditional flavor of dim sums in Shanghai. Everyone is after new trends. Definitely a good place to visit if you crave for traditional Hongkongnese and Shanghainese dim sums. I would recommend rice rolls with prawn and char siew pie, which was absolutely classic!

    Everything we ordered here tastes really good! (and we ordered A LOT). I love that we have to order via QR code since they put every pictures of every menus on there so we have an idea what to order and what to expect. However, this restaurant only accepts cash and qr code payment.

    Recently visited Swee Choon. The food was ok, probably I am not a Tim Sum fan. Price wise, it was relatively cheaper than other places. Besides Tim Sum, it has other offerings such as butter toast that you can get at typical Cha Chaan Teng and xiaolongbao that you can get from typical Chinese/Taiwanese eateries. Can skip these and stick to the traditional Tim Sum.

    Review #2 Saturday night Sunday morning 2:45 AM. No need to queue. Got seated immediately. Tried the porridge 7/10, big pork bun 6.5/10 a bit dry, pork dumpling 7/10, yam fritter 8/10. Okay lah for past midnight snack. Review #1 For late supper the tim sum not bad. Char Siew Pau (sweet pork bun) pretty good, taste wise and the filling decent. The Wu Kok or yan fritters is a bit oily but good enough, a 8/10 score. On a Friday night at 10 pm, can be quite a wait for a party of 4 or more. For 1 or 2 ppl the queue goes faster. I just wish the staff could communicate better, I sat down at an unoccupied table not knowing that there is a queue system. Table staff who was cleaning the table kindda rushed me out, “go outside to queue”, what queue I asked, there were just a lot of ppl standing outside the shop houses … apparently waiting for their queue no. to be displayed on the display panel, “you go outside, I will show you”. At the point in time for new comers may not be aware of this queue system or can see how this done. It was only much later I realized customers need to walk to a podium where the table cleaning staff was asking ppl to scan queue QR code. All the staff needed to say was “please take a queue no. by scanning this QR code outside”. Perhaps management can provide staff with a small card bearing the QR code for taking a queue no. Furthermore the communication in English can also be improve to get customers onto the queue system quickly. Not all customers can speak Mandarin. On a positive note, all the staff were busy and working fast to clean tables to quickly allocate tables. Swee Choon has three separate rooms. One of which is not air-conditioned, it is open concept like kopi tiam.

    If you come at busy days, you'll need to wait a bit. The food was quite nice, tasted very good; however, some dishes were a little greasy so don't call too much if you want to have a good enough meal. The staffs were very nice and friendly. She was afraid that we ordered too much, so she came back to confirm and change the orders. The atmosphere around was not very noisy although there were so many people, reminding me some nostalgia feelings. Will come back again if I have any chance.
