My wife and I arrived earlier than the official opening time. Right off the bat, I appreciate one of the staff sharing with my wife and I that we can take a seat at one of the benches while we wait for the opening time. Extra awesome that he also brought a menu for us to browse through. Once they opened, we were brought to our seats. I love that the spacing between tables is reasonable and we aren't packed in like sardines. The atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant reminds me of a classic America steakhouse which I found amusing and not a negative kind of thing. The food came by in a reasonably fast manner. Portion was humongous, absolutely tasty and my wife and I love that we could ask for a top up of the Soup base for our fish. The staff were attentive to check in on us and top up our soup base periodically. I went to their competitor at the same level of the mall and comparatively speaking, TANYU is way ahead of the competition. My only gripe is that I'm unsure if they can handle an English speaking customer which I tend to be. I was with my wife so she handled the communication that day. Ordered more than what's in the photos but neglected to take photos of the others, was too darn hungry and excited by the tummy smells of the food!
Sorry no photos cos we were hungry and fish were so good! Happy and Satisfied!! Staff were so helpful! Thanks for a good lunch!
Service was good , all staff with a smile . I like the way they approached the staff 😊 very friendly . Food they even give their opinion and recommendation on the fish when we keep looking at menu dunno which to choose.
Had to Q to go in this time since it was a last minute decision to have this for dinner. We had the Garlic Limbo Fish topped with the Golden Combination (Luncheon Meat, Potato, Lotus root and Enoki). It comes with, 2 strips of brinjal. We shared a bowl of rice too.One word, Shiok.Drinkable sauce/ soup. Its not at all spicy but very garlicky!:))))The portion above is abit too much for 2 person. I'd suggest to order the add-ons moderately.The grab discount was still on, so 20% off the total bill. It was mentioned that the promo would last the whole of september...
Came Tampines outlet my 2nd time and enjoy the food here. Attended by friendly Chole Lim who was very thoughtful. Thanks for the service rendered!

Delicious grilled fish great for sharing for 3-4pax so we can order more sides / varieties to enjoy. In the past my wife and I cant finish fish if we order sides. you can also order fillet option. when soup simmer for long and becomes salty, can request to top up soup. there was Lunch time crowd and wasn’t fully packed but have to wait a while to get their staff attention. soup goes well with their premium rice. love their crunchy green chili but when cook too long, the chili skin harden. Overall great experience

Had always been visitng this branch, friendly staffs.Today tried grilled garlic flavored Sea bass, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I don’t understand why the staff here have a habit to add soup without asking. Isn’t this a simple manner.
Love their brown sugar rice cake, highly recommend.Everything can have a try, nice.
You cannot eat here alone. Portions are massive. The lambo fish is really well done. The soup is really unique blend of spices and they use schicuan type peppers . If you llove fish u must eat here atleast once in life
woei han had good service, attended to requests quickly. overall ambient was clean and enjoyable to dine in, would come back again
had a great experience at this outlet, staff woei han was friendly and came to attend to us whenever we needed help. food was great too! will be back again

Waaah i like the food so much!! I loves mala and spicy, i went with my friend who also loves spicy.We ordered the fish with green chili, it is very nice with white rice 💚💚, surely will go here again.
Foods are great, especially the fish. Big portion for 3pax. Banana rice cake is very interesting to try. Love it.Staff will offer you to top-up the soup. Personally I prefer not to as it will dilute the original taste of selected soup.Atmosphere, can be bit dark for customer. It depends on your seat. We got the seat with no pendant light above us.
Terrible service and attitude of the waiter, the snacks are out of stock and he acted like it’s not a big deal and didn’t bother to even apologize for this to happen and didn’t offer the snacks which was put at counter. I have to say the food is not bad, but service is much much worse than my previous visit a few years ago, definitely will not come back again
2nd visit and brought my colleagues here for celebration. Good service good food, would definitely come back again
The food and drinks are very delicious, and the wait time for food is not long. The price is average. A good place for gatherings.
The taste is very good. I have eaten it many times and highly recommend it! ! Special thanks to the staff here, the service attitude is very good! ! ! Satisfy your guests with a smile, thank you.
Very bad service! Chaotic management! They told you that you can use xyz coupons when you order, and say you can only use one of them when check out!!!! Even like scam!
I've always love tan yu. But the service today was bad! The server is definitely not his day at work. He was so monotone and expressionless. The exhaust also don't seem to work kind. By the time we are done we smell badly. 😆
We had the non-spicy soy sauce fish, but we found it too sweet and salty for our liking. Apparently, the green chili fish was the best but we didn’t order that. The mushroom with garlic was the best dish. The scallion oil noodle tasted like Maggie mee (but mee goreng) flavour with dried shrimps. The fruit tea was quite sweet as well. There’s quite a wait outside, so we were asked to return the table after finishing our drinks. I do think the portion was quite reasonable for the price though.
Decided to try Tanyu after the very long hype has died down and it did not disappoint. The limbo fish was highly recommended and we tried the soy sauce fish because we did not prefer spicy. The fish was soft, tender and very fresh. The grilled eggplant was also a very surprised addition, it was grilled to perfection and the taste was not too salty and not too bland, just right. The jumbo drink was humongous! It could serve 3-4 person and definitely worth the price, the only downside is that it tasted slightly diluted as there was too much ice. Overall satisfied and definitely highly recommended.
As a loyal customer, I would like to express my sincere disappointment with my recent experience. While I understand that mistakes do occasionally occur, the attitude and behavior of one of the staff members, Wan Xia was completely unacceptable. I found their lack of professionalism and manners to be offensive and rude.I was particularly shocked by the staff's lack of basic manners, such as snatching the bill away and walking off without a word, continuously pestering for payment in the middle of my meal, and requesting that I walk across the large and crowded establishment for the payment. This is not the type of interaction I expect to have at a restaurant of this caliber. I would like to request that any disciplinary actions be taken to address this behaviour.I cannot emphasize how important it is to have a friendly and professional staff that represents your establishment well. I hope that you will take my concerns seriously and take the necessary steps to improve the overall customer experience.The most baffling part of the experience was when I personally contacted the manager and was offered a $10 dinner and $20 lunch voucher as compensation. It’s very humiliating .
Bring my parents to enjoy the fish for 2nd time and they love it. Even the small portion is feed 3 people more than enough and the taste is lovely. Bit pricey though cos its only a fish and you need to top up for the side.. not even 1-2 inclusive veg.
Almost a year later, I came to check in again for the Chongqing-style Tanyu at this restaurant. Same address, same table number, same taste.
I had lunch on SaturdayI made a reservation, but since it was early, there were plenty of tables available.My child had the best taste!!!!I also ordered fried rice cakes and lamb skewers, but I don’t think I will have to order them next time.But it's worth trying the steamed fish one more time.We had green pepper GF limbo steamed fish.It feels like steamed flounder.Basically, I think it has a stronger malar flavor than pepper.It's a taste I've never had in Korea before, but it's bland.It's not enough to eat the soup, but it's okay to sprinkle it on the fish and eat it together.The fish is fresh and chewy.I ate everything except the skin and bones.I've been in Singapore for over 2 years and now I'm back.I think I'll come againWe had 2 adults and 2 children so we got about 100.
love tanyu! for non spicy eaters there is the garlic flavour and mala for the spicy eaters. prefer the limbo fish over the seabass for sure. also my go to dessert the coconut jelly is delicious!
I think it's definitely more worthwhile to come in a group of min. 3 pax. The service staff was great and one of the Malaysian Chinese staff checked on our customized order and explained the menu patiently. The green pepper limbo fish was delicious and not too oily. We also ordered the eggplant which was average to me. Though it was quite way past lunchtime, restaurant was still crowded. Being a member of the avocado app got us some decent discounts.
探鱼烤鱼 - TANYU 313@somerset is an absolute delight for seafood lovers! 🐟✨ I visited this restaurant during my recent trip to Singapore, and it was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, making it a great spot for both casual dinners and special occasions. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. 😊The star of the show is undoubtedly the grilled fish! 🐠🔥 The fish is incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection, with a tantalizing array of spices and flavors that left my taste buds dancing. I opted for the spicy Sichuan style, and it was a perfect balance of heat and flavor. The fish is served on a boat shaped platter, adding a fun and unique touch to the meal. 🌶️👌In addition to the grilled fish, TANYU offers a variety of delectable side dishes. 🍤🥦 The vegetables and tofu were fresh and well seasoned, complementing the main dish beautifully. I also tried their signature noodles, which were a delightful addition to the meal. Overall, TANYU 313@somerset is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious, authentic Chinese grilled fish. Can't wait to return! 🫶🏻
Luckily we didn't have to queue when we got there, and the environment was nice. But! The ingredients were a little stale (the mushrooms and tomatoes were smelly). The rest is okay, but the service attitude and the quality of the ingredients need to be improved! 😉
A restaurant that I used to love eating at has now become a disappointment. Aside from the price increase, the taste isn't as good as it used to be, and they no longer serve the side dishes that originally came with the grilled fish. The service was also poor. When I asked the staff to change my chair, they couldn't find another one and informed us that they didn't have any extra chairs, despite there being some available seats at the time. My friends from overseas were also disappointed after trying it.
Had initially booked at 7pm but could not change timing on actual day. Managed to change to later timing just by a phone call. Served by Kai Xiang. Nice and friendly staff. Yummy fish in green pepper. A little spicy. Fish is very fresh and delicious.
Food and service is very nice and attentive!! Must come! Their staffs here are very friendly as well!
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.
the food is nice, will recommend my family and friends to come over to dine in too.
The food is not delicious. The atmosphere is passable. Moderate service
Nice dishes n very pleased with Glenn's great service and his recommendations!
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…
Good food owezStaff Anthony is friendly and provide warm hospitality. May look for him
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.
The best grilled fish hot pot style, and the server Anthony was great too, gave us free dessert
The fish was realllllly huge! Worth the price and it tasted good. Staff like Kenneth was friendly and service was fast.
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 is very nice this place has nice atmosphere and good service! nice food too!
Great comfortable atmosphere and delicious food. Friendly service. Will come back again!
We got a table fairly quickly! Fish fillet is good and thanks to Anthony for the good service!
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!
It was a great dining experience with Mr Jia Jin that have providing us with excellent service!
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 had a great time eating at tan yu!!! Would highly recommend coming back again!
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 staff danny here is so welcoming to me and my family, he is very friendly and kind to us. Overall the food and services are great
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.
Excellent service from staff, especially DANNY. 😄Super friendly and welcoming. Love the food and ambience. Thank you for the lovely experience!

The service from Danny and Jia Jun is very goodJust that the fish a bit different from what I eat from outsideFeel like jelly like that not so good
Very delicious. I come here all the time. The waiters Danny and JiaJun are very enthusiastic.
We ordered the Limbo fish and the food is great! Anthony’s service was also a very helpful ! Thanks
Food was good and our waiter,Anthony, was a friendly server. Would come again!
Great service and food quality is consistent. Thanks Anthony for looking after us.
Good service. Booked for a company team lunch. Set up for us a nice cozy row of tables for us.
Love the food here. Fish is fresh and appetising. Will definitely come back again!
alicia was very attentive and friendly towards us. the fish is also very delicious.
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..
The best szechuan style spicy fish in somerset. This restaurant chain from china has been my personal favourite for long
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.
Very nide Mala food for spice lovers. The Mala fish and green pepper fish was amazing and super spicy just how it should be!
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.
