Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Heard about Hawker Chan’s restaurant and had to give it a go. What a mistake that was!! In my opinion, they are resting on their laurels from yesteryear when they still had a Michelin star but now it’s dreadful. The chicken fried rice they were...renowned for was the worst I’ve tasted. Chicken was fatty and greasy, skin still on, with the bones still in and only just cooked, in fact it was all just luke warm. We also ordered dumplings as a side order but they took another 5 minutes to come when we were half way through eating. For those who don’t know this restaurant, it is self serve so when they call your number,it is up to you to collect from the servery… not what you want while eating. As for the restrooms, yuck. Located right next to the pot wash and only one cubicle each for male and female. We will not return. P.S the drinks were nice and cold which was a plus.More

Very disappointing for a place that used to have a Michelin star. It won’t qualify for one on the meals we had. Both mains were cold and the chicken undercooked. Vegetables and dumplings were a bit better. Also, little or no atmosphere. Not recommended.

It's been the most disgusting chicken I've ever tried. Full of bones, not cooked at all and blood coming out from it. After I tried the first bite, I left the rest as I didn't feel hungry anymore. Michelin Star? I DOUBT IT. See the...picture below.More

Expect to wait minimum 30 mins for it. For rice, cost S$3.50 and noodle is $4. This is one of the cheapest or reasonable price for a whole chicken S$18. The chicken was moist and especially the sauce is not salty. Worth the wait.

If I could give 0 I would. Cold, slimy and just a pile of bones. Don’t bother. Michelin star?! How? Luckily it’s cheap. Still have to write more… cold rice, cold noodles, cold chicken

I had read about Hawker Chan and wanted to try out his cuisine. I happened to walk by at 1.30 pm and entered his place. Surprisingly, there were only 3 people in the queue on a Monday 16th January afternoon. There were also many seats...available. Many of the visitors were foreigners. I ordered a takeaway of crispy pork and rice. Whilst the food was palatable, I found the quantity far less than expected. Takeaways seem to be where caterers save on food by giving less – customers only know when they open the container! The pork was not crispy and there were only a few slices of it. Maybe I should have eaten in situ and chosen more dishes.More

It’s definitely the best value for money of all Michelin star restaurants! S$7 and you’ll have VERY TASTY DUCK! I liked Char siew option - it has more bright taste. You can choose noodles or rice as a side. Every portion is good size for...one person. Staff speaks English well.More

Ordered the roasted pork and soya chicken with white rice, the sauce over the rice was very flavourful it has a mixture of sweet soya sauce and lots if herbs incorporated in it. The roasted platter of pork consists of char siew and pork rib...was a good a choice, In my own opinion the pork dishes is better than the soya chicken.More

We were staying nearby and called in fore some mixed roasts and green veges for lunch. This restaurant is located in the Chinatown area. Despite some quite mixed reviews of this Michellin Star ranked Hawker Restaurant we found the food excellent.The Char Siew was a...standout and meals are extremely cheap.More

A very disappointing experience. We thought it would a hoot to visit a Michelin star restaurant that is a hawker. Cold pork, some rice and some wilted vegetables does make a good meal. Cannot see what the fuss is about.

I went with zero expectations as it just so happened to be near my workplace that day. Perhaps I didn't order the chicken rice that made Hawker Chan famous, but my herbal duck rice was disappointing. Too much bone (had bone shards in my mouth)...and like other reviewers mentioned, the cashier / staff are downright rude. I'm a local, and I would say there are better places for tourists to try.More
