Tan Yu is a popular Chinese restaurant chain in Singapore with popularity among Chinese food lovers. With its 5 outlets across the city it is easy accessible for anyone with taste for delicious Cantonese dishes. Tan Yu outlets are renovated properly with welcoming staff always available to help you in every possible way like choosing items from menu and serving them.
Came on Thursday evening, there was no queue and restaurant was somewhat empty. Ordered before 7, food arrived 7:30 and 7:45.Atmosphere is ever noisy and service tax should never be charged for the level of service provided.Food was good.
Having a steaming pot of tanyu on a rainy day is the best!TanYu has been popular since it arrived in Singapore, with a constant long queue of customers outside the restaurant.Step 1 is to choose the type of fish you want. There are 4 types of fish – limbo fish (is known as Basa Catfish, is large and meaty, with a tender moist firm flaky texture), limbo fish fillet, sea bass fish, and qingjiang fish. TanYu’s fishes are all fresh and weigh around 1.2kg each.After choosing the fish type – then choose the flavours. Tanyu have 4 signature flavours – grilled fish with soy sauce, grilled fish with fresh green pepper (2 level spiciness), Chongqing grilled fish with bean curd (3 level spiciness), grilled fish with seven ingredients (4 level spiciness),You can also add side dishes add to the tanyu if you want. If the gravy starts to dry up, the staff will top up it up with pork broth.I ordered grilled fish with fresh green pepper. The fish was covered with green bell peppers and topped with a bunch of peppercorns. As the sides, I ordered enoki mushrooms, lotus roots, cheese tofu, and fresh bean curd skin. The side dishes were cooked under the fish, absorbing the gravy.Overall, the gravy is tasty and savoury, eaten together with rice. I do not find the sauce is spicy or have a strong “ma” feeling. Next time, I can try the 3 level spiciness.
Bad experience at Tanyu as staff starts to inform customer @ 945pm that restaurant will be closing soon.At 9.57pm(not even 10pm) staff came back to inform that restaurant is now close and we had to leave even if we are not done with our food.Seated @ 9pm for dinner.Food was out @ 915pmIf restaurant is so eager to close, they should stop receiving customers at 9pm…
Second time having tanyu but first time trying in this branch. Ordered their signature green chili and personally didn’t like it because too maaa. 3 of us, we ordered fish and added on side dishes. Fish was in and but didn’t like the soup base. Slightly overpriced. Restaurant ambient was dim which I personally prefer bright lighting. I went for early dinner around 5pm ish. There wasn’t any queue. 3 of us cost around $100 ish.
I’ve been to 3 different Tan Yu outlets and overall i’ll rate the brand itself a 3/5. Generally, price isn’t worth it and the taste is so so. The best ones are still at Chinatown itself (near the hawker)For this outlet:Noodles 5.90(?) and not much taste. The signature fish is soaked with oil and when adding ingredients there’s not much. Lamb skewers super gammy 🥲Atmosphere smells oily/like bbq and you’ll end up smelling like it tooWon’t be back
Like the food here especially the grilled scallops made by xiao hui which was the main reason for us to come back! Tried their other food too which was also very good. Recommend to try
Anthony from the 313 outlet was extremely helpful and attentive during the lunch today. We received really good service and will be back again for the same dining experience. Great job!
Great food quality as usual, my go-to place for grilled fish! Thanks Anthony for serving us here! Love their other dishes too - cold noodles, grilled eggplant and chicken skewers!
The waiters at this branch have the best service I have ever encountered in Tanyu, especially Zhang Jia, who took the initiative to ask and help me get the soup and tableware for my baby's noodles, which made us feel very warm. The service is comparable to Haidilao oh!
Delicious grilled fish. Now, indulge yourself in the succulent grilled fish alongside with its flavourful broth and some perfectly cooked rice. Lips smack.
First attempt to try this famous spicy hotpot fish, had a seabass with fragrance spicy fish, some drill lamb skewers and onion noodles.The noodles is a must never go wrong.Fish is really big and fish is freshSmells like hotpot after that but the meal was great.
Tasty and fresh fish. If their standards remain consistent then I'd say it is a nice place to visit for introduction to this style of fish dish. Non-spicy option available.Ambiance is cosy and great for groups of 4 (although able to accommodate bigger groups too).Service is prompt, polite and professional.
The fish fillet was marvellous!! I couldn't ask for more *chef kiss* though it wasn't as numb or spicy as expected, but it's just right 👌 approved!Other dishes were equally yummy. Noodles was good, even the toast was good haha I love barley drink. Skewer was just so so.
Fish was definitely the star. The fried mix platter also not bad. Grilled eggplant also good. Would skip the Mantou. Skewers so so, quite tough... Scallion oil noodles ok. Definitely must try the fish. Will try the spicier one next time around.
We had the grilled fish (sea bass) with green chili, fish was fresh and the sauce was good. Went perfectly well with the rice.Service was quick and fuss free. They do not serve complimentary water here, only bottled water available.Restaurant gets crowded during mealtimes, so be prepared to queue if you don’t have a reservation.
Every time I come to Singapore, I must visit this restaurant. I don’t like spicy food. In the past, I always had Chongqing grilled fish with tofu pudding. This time I tried the grilled fish with fresh green pepper and sesame seeds. It was also great. The scallion oil noodles are also a must! It’s also a must order every time~
Slightly more pricey than its competitors but food was delicious. The staffs here are also polite, friendly and attentive to customers. You could also takeaway leftovers if you cant finish there and then. Will be back again soon to try the different seasoming of tan yu, perhaps the chongqing spicy ones.
If you are looking for a decent 酸菜鱼, this restaurant is the place for you. I was given the option to have the fish boneless so it is more convenient and safer to enjoy it. The acidity of the soup was not too overwhelming and I was allowed to refill the stock. The downside is the price. Given that I am not a fan of lamb, the lamb skewers were surprisingly good, with not a single hint of gamey taste.
Anthony was a great server and responded to our needs very quickly, and he was very friendly. Food was top notch!! My friends and I had the sauerkraut seabass, and the portion was so generous!
The grilled fish here is delicious. I want to try other grilled fish next time.Their waiter (Anthony) is also very considerate and provides attentive service. I will come again next time👍👍
Had great service from Danny today! Since it’s CNY, he also served the fish with lots of new year greetings! Such a great way to start the new year.Will come back to try other flavours of their fish!
Good place for grilled fish with green peppers. We ordered the Qingjiang fish to try. Fish was fresh and juicy, not too much bones. Great dish for a rainy day. Service by Anthony was prompt.
I love coming to tan yu as the fish is always fresh and juicy. Their server Jia Jun was very attentive to us. Would highly recommend coming back again!
Food was excellent, Danny the man who served our food was friendly and informative also super helpful. Portion was enough even for 3-4 people we also order for additional mantau which must have, food comes relatively quick and steaming hot
the food here is excellent and very delicious, the service here is also very nice and “ danny is so welcoming and very friendly to us while we dine here.
Having dinner last night, not getting help because not much staff working, but Hann still notice us and help even though come late. Thanks to Hann service and to food still nice.
Alicia's service was amazing and extremely helpful. We wanted to take away our food since there was quite a bit left and she was very proactive and attentive.We got the Green chilli grilled fish and it was fantastic, highly recommend.
Grilled fish tastes the same as other outlets, but the sides were pretty bad. Oyster was way overcooked and tougher than grilled squid. Grilled eggplant was fried but hardly grilled. Grilled scallops lacked flavour (vermicelli that is served in the scallop shell was not well flavoured). Rice was undercooked. Way too different from other outlets..
Always enjoy coming here for dinner. The food is delicious, fun ambience and great service from the staff especially from Alicia. Alicia is so helpful and attentive, make us feel so welcome.
Food was great. The Chuan Chuan chicken was nice, as well as the cold noodles. The fish tasted amazing but after eating for awhile and drinking lots of the soup you get quite thirsty.Service was okay, we ordered potatoes as toppings but there was very little so we asked if they could top up and the staff did it willingly. Only mild thing that affected the experience was the staff made it quite obvious they were closing and kept keeping our plates and also told us. But understandable and not uncommon I guess.Overall quite a good first experience!
I like the restaurant layout. It gives privacy for each customer. Good place for gathering.Food overall good as always. But would be perfect if less salty. The mala potatoes is dangerously addictive. Their grilled eggplants also great.
Green pepper Fish was fresh and flavourful. We added vegetables, mushrooms and luncheon meat. There was a lingering ‘mala’ after taste. It was pretty unique but a little tad salty.Beef skewers a little too tough for my liking but seasoning was also perfect. If you haven’t tried these, go ahead and try it!
Went on a Friday night. Quite crowded. 1st time trying out of curiosity.Food - good for 1st try but too oily and spicy for us. We seldom take strong flavoured food like this. Big portion too.Service - we were seated in a corner. So need to wave hard to get servers' attention if you need help. Overall service is good.
Came on Thursday evening, there was no queue and restaurant was somewhat empty. Ordered before 7, food arrived 7:30 and 7:45.Atmosphere is ever noisy and service tax should never be charged for the level of service provided.Food was good.

We had the grilled fish (sea bass) with green chili, fish was fresh and the sauce was good. Went perfectly well with the rice.Service was quick and fuss free. They do not serve complimentary water here, only bottled water available.Restaurant gets crowded during mealtimes, so be prepared to queue if you don’t have a reservation.
Every time I come to Singapore, I must visit this restaurant. I don’t like spicy food. In the past, I always had Chongqing grilled fish with tofu pudding. This time I tried the grilled fish with fresh green pepper and sesame seeds. It was also great. The scallion oil noodles are also a must! It’s also a must order every time~
Slightly more pricey than its competitors but food was delicious. The staffs here are also polite, friendly and attentive to customers. You could also takeaway leftovers if you cant finish there and then. Will be back again soon to try the different seasoming of tan yu, perhaps the chongqing spicy ones.
If you are looking for a decent 酸菜鱼, this restaurant is the place for you. I was given the option to have the fish boneless so it is more convenient and safer to enjoy it. The acidity of the soup was not too overwhelming and I was allowed to refill the stock. The downside is the price. Given that I am not a fan of lamb, the lamb skewers were surprisingly good, with not a single hint of gamey taste.
Anthony was a great server and responded to our needs very quickly, and he was very friendly. Food was top notch!! My friends and I had the sauerkraut seabass, and the portion was so generous!
The grilled fish here is delicious. I want to try other grilled fish next time.Their waiter (Anthony) is also very considerate and provides attentive service. I will come again next time👍👍
Had great service from Danny today! Since it’s CNY, he also served the fish with lots of new year greetings! Such a great way to start the new year.Will come back to try other flavours of their fish!
Good place for grilled fish with green peppers. We ordered the Qingjiang fish to try. Fish was fresh and juicy, not too much bones. Great dish for a rainy day. Service by Anthony was prompt.
I love coming to tan yu as the fish is always fresh and juicy. Their server Jia Jun was very attentive to us. Would highly recommend coming back again!
Food was excellent, Danny the man who served our food was friendly and informative also super helpful. Portion was enough even for 3-4 people we also order for additional mantau which must have, food comes relatively quick and steaming hot
the food here is excellent and very delicious, the service here is also very nice and “ danny is so welcoming and very friendly to us while we dine here.
Having dinner last night, not getting help because not much staff working, but Hann still notice us and help even though come late. Thanks to Hann service and to food still nice.
Alicia's service was amazing and extremely helpful. We wanted to take away our food since there was quite a bit left and she was very proactive and attentive.We got the Green chilli grilled fish and it was fantastic, highly recommend.
Grilled fish tastes the same as other outlets, but the sides were pretty bad. Oyster was way overcooked and tougher than grilled squid. Grilled eggplant was fried but hardly grilled. Grilled scallops lacked flavour (vermicelli that is served in the scallop shell was not well flavoured). Rice was undercooked. Way too different from other outlets..
Always enjoy coming here for dinner. The food is delicious, fun ambience and great service from the staff especially from Alicia. Alicia is so helpful and attentive, make us feel so welcome.
Food was great. The Chuan Chuan chicken was nice, as well as the cold noodles. The fish tasted amazing but after eating for awhile and drinking lots of the soup you get quite thirsty.Service was okay, we ordered potatoes as toppings but there was very little so we asked if they could top up and the staff did it willingly. Only mild thing that affected the experience was the staff made it quite obvious they were closing and kept keeping our plates and also told us. But understandable and not uncommon I guess.Overall quite a good first experience!
I like the restaurant layout. It gives privacy for each customer. Good place for gathering.Food overall good as always. But would be perfect if less salty. The mala potatoes is dangerously addictive. Their grilled eggplants also great.
Green pepper Fish was fresh and flavourful. We added vegetables, mushrooms and luncheon meat. There was a lingering ‘mala’ after taste. It was pretty unique but a little tad salty.Beef skewers a little too tough for my liking but seasoning was also perfect. If you haven’t tried these, go ahead and try it!
Went on a Friday night. Quite crowded. 1st time trying out of curiosity.Food - good for 1st try but too oily and spicy for us. We seldom take strong flavoured food like this. Big portion too.Service - we were seated in a corner. So need to wave hard to get servers' attention if you need help. Overall service is good.
Came on Thursday evening, there was no queue and restaurant was somewhat empty. Ordered before 7, food arrived 7:30 and 7:45.Atmosphere is ever noisy and service tax should never be charged for the level of service provided.Food was good.
Having a steaming pot of tanyu on a rainy day is the best!TanYu has been popular since it arrived in Singapore, with a constant long queue of customers outside the restaurant.Step 1 is to choose the type of fish you want. There are 4 types of fish – limbo fish (is known as Basa Catfish, is large and meaty, with a tender moist firm flaky texture), limbo fish fillet, sea bass fish, and qingjiang fish. TanYu’s fishes are all fresh and weigh around 1.2kg each.After choosing the fish type – then choose the flavours. Tanyu have 4 signature flavours – grilled fish with soy sauce, grilled fish with fresh green pepper (2 level spiciness), Chongqing grilled fish with bean curd (3 level spiciness), grilled fish with seven ingredients (4 level spiciness),You can also add side dishes add to the tanyu if you want. If the gravy starts to dry up, the staff will top up it up with pork broth.I ordered grilled fish with fresh green pepper. The fish was covered with green bell peppers and topped with a bunch of peppercorns. As the sides, I ordered enoki mushrooms, lotus roots, cheese tofu, and fresh bean curd skin. The side dishes were cooked under the fish, absorbing the gravy.Overall, the gravy is tasty and savoury, eaten together with rice. I do not find the sauce is spicy or have a strong “ma” feeling. Next time, I can try the 3 level spiciness.
Bad experience at Tanyu as staff starts to inform customer @ 945pm that restaurant will be closing soon.At 9.57pm(not even 10pm) staff came back to inform that restaurant is now close and we had to leave even if we are not done with our food.Seated @ 9pm for dinner.Food was out @ 915pmIf restaurant is so eager to close, they should stop receiving customers at 9pm…
Second time having tanyu but first time trying in this branch. Ordered their signature green chili and personally didn’t like it because too maaa. 3 of us, we ordered fish and added on side dishes. Fish was in and but didn’t like the soup base. Slightly overpriced. Restaurant ambient was dim which I personally prefer bright lighting. I went for early dinner around 5pm ish. There wasn’t any queue. 3 of us cost around $100 ish.
I’ve been to 3 different Tan Yu outlets and overall i’ll rate the brand itself a 3/5. Generally, price isn’t worth it and the taste is so so. The best ones are still at Chinatown itself (near the hawker)For this outlet:Noodles 5.90(?) and not much taste. The signature fish is soaked with oil and when adding ingredients there’s not much. Lamb skewers super gammy 🥲Atmosphere smells oily/like bbq and you’ll end up smelling like it tooWon’t be back
Like the food here especially the grilled scallops made by xiao hui which was the main reason for us to come back! Tried their other food too which was also very good. Recommend to try
Anthony from the 313 outlet was extremely helpful and attentive during the lunch today. We received really good service and will be back again for the same dining experience. Great job!
Great food quality as usual, my go-to place for grilled fish! Thanks Anthony for serving us here! Love their other dishes too - cold noodles, grilled eggplant and chicken skewers!
The waiters at this branch have the best service I have ever encountered in Tanyu, especially Zhang Jia, who took the initiative to ask and help me get the soup and tableware for my baby's noodles, which made us feel very warm. The service is comparable to Haidilao oh!
Delicious grilled fish. Now, indulge yourself in the succulent grilled fish alongside with its flavourful broth and some perfectly cooked rice. Lips smack.
First attempt to try this famous spicy hotpot fish, had a seabass with fragrance spicy fish, some drill lamb skewers and onion noodles.The noodles is a must never go wrong.Fish is really big and fish is freshSmells like hotpot after that but the meal was great.
Tasty and fresh fish. If their standards remain consistent then I'd say it is a nice place to visit for introduction to this style of fish dish. Non-spicy option available.Ambiance is cosy and great for groups of 4 (although able to accommodate bigger groups too).Service is prompt, polite and professional.
