Per other reviewers… it is indeed not an authentic Teochew restaurant. However, dishes were well made. We loved every dish that they served! It's a small restaurant, housed among a row of 2-storey shop houses along McPherson Road. Be prepared for noisy environment. There is a VIP room though, not sure what is the minimum spend to use one. Parking could be a problem on peak hours (weekends).
Overall a good restaurant for small group gathering. Just be open minded on the "Teochew-ness" of the dishes. Enjoy!

Pretty authentic Teochew dishes. Rating would be more of 3.5 to 4. These came in a set (with one of the dishes changed). Service staff gave really good services. Very filling for 5-6 people and value for money. Heard the owner is a mediacorp actor.

Love the Teochew dishes here. Very authentic and delicious (their dishes are not oily at all even if it’s deep fried). Very attentive, helpful and cheerful staffs. Highly recommended to give this restaurant a try.

Fantastic teochew-styled dishes! I thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes we ordered. The signature braised goose was tender and the gravy was fragrant and well-balanced.
MUST MUST orderthe yam paste (orh-ni)!! They also serve the traditional "pig's jelly" which was decent as well.
The horfun with radish was well fried - it had the wok-hei- and the pickles gave it as savoury-sweet flavour!!!
Very friendly service staff too!

The food was pretty nice, albeit a bit salty, and turnabout time was fast. Prices were also reasonable (partly because we didn't order dishes with seasonal prices like fish and crab). However, service quality was uneven and space was cramped. I was forever worried that the staff would drop a dish on me. Notwithstanding this, what made the dinner stand out in my mind was that the owner-cum-actor Chen Shu Cheng was around and pleasantly obliged our request for a photo.

Mouth-watering, authentic Teochew cuisine is my short answer.
😋😋😋
Thought that the bamboo charcoal tofu was the star dish of the evening. It was unusually tasty, flavourful, without being overpowering with a suitable smattering of mushrooms and bamboo pith.

The pig trotters were definitely cooked to perfection - the skin was crisp, and you could taste its unique seasoning going right through to the flesh.

"Orh-ni" or yam paste is a very typical Teochew dessert and is usually used as a yardstick to measure the authenticity of any Teochew cuisine. I must say that this was done very well - not too sweet, and there was a balance of tastes between the yam and pumpkin paste. Topping it off with a generous sprinkling of gingko nuts really did it for me!

Yam sticks coated with sugar and spice is another typical Teochew dish. Apart from the fact that it was a little dry, the yam itself was fragrant and fluffy.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
We thoroughly enjoyed dinner as a family and will be back to try their other dishes.
💯
Just as a sidenote, the dishes were served at a rather leisurely pace so make sure you're not in a rush!

Went with low expectations after reading all these bad reviews, but we really enjoyed the food, especially the braised duck, charcoal bamboo tofu, eight treasures veggies, orh nee, and sesame rice cakes... basically almost everything except the pork jellies (personally prefer chin lee's version). Service was alright - some of the staff seem rather inexperienced. Best to make reservations if you're heading there on a weekend - the restaurant is not very big.

Not bad but a little pricey. Pomfret cost $12 per 100g which you can get $8 per 100g at other teochew restaurant.

Food is decent but the long wait between dishes served made the experience infuriating and not worth a recommend.

I have reserved 2 tables 2 days after they opened for 30th June. I was surprised when I reached at 630, they are only going to give us 1 big and small table outside the kitchen. I was promised the 2 tables at the corner. It is for my dad's birthday celebration and he was very unhappy. All our guests have arrived but there are no table for us and we have to wait. In the end, we have to separate our tables. One in the room and one outside the kitchen. Esther who is the person in charge kept giving us empty promises. This is the 1st time our birthday celebration had become a disaster. We are the 1st to reserve the tables but we have the most lousy tables when we have 4 kids and the waitress are taking the dishes in and out. I will not recommend this place to anyone.

Love their bamboo charcoal tofu and orh nee! The yam paste dessert comes with pumpkin, water chestnuts and ginkgo nut with the right balance of flavor and right amount of sweetness. The bee hoon also have good wok hei. Other dishes are also good. A very satisfying meal
Jason Tan
A promfret cost $90!!!!!! Wow. And the meat is not fresh at all. It was hard and overcooked! The Macpherson outlet is shorthanded. The manager still looked at me when in questionable look when i told her that the wet towel and appetiser wasn't even at the table. And remember to bring cash or Nets card.

Special tks to Chef Chai for the yummilicious food & desserts. We had a great time with sumptuous food & had sweet endings - orh nee 2 ways (original & fried) & sesame rice cake. Great service staff and special thanks to Esther & team

Cold crabs, fish maw soup, braised duck, deep-fried black sesame glutinous cake, braised Eu-fu noodle, sweaten taro paste, all so yummy. Special chilli sauce too.
No GST, No service charge. Will come again.

Restaurant is super short handed. Asked to order more than 5 times before somebody came to take order. Food took a really long time to come even when there weren't many customers and the portion is SMALL. Some hits and misses! The pomfret costs $96 fyi. We enjoyed the desserts more than the mains actually.

The Orh Ni is DA BOMB! Ah Mah’s teochew tongue approves! even the Cai Poh Kway Teow was filled with wok hei. I also love the charcoal tofu, I don’t know how you do it but it’s a little crisp on the outside (not fried or wok fried) and fluffy on the inside, super yums. (I’m veg so can’t say about the other dishes, my family loves the entire experience though.) I went on a Sunday night and it was full house, kudos to the staff for maintaining such high standards despite having so many orders. Price is reasonable, we spent $200 for 10 people.
谢谢潮州城：昨晚我们一家10口带了阿嬷去用餐。阿嬷因为只能吃糊状食物，再加上平常很少有餐馆能cater我们需要带’blender’的要求，昨晚那餐阿嬷吃得很开心。她老人家像小孩般的等’orh ni’上桌，然后跟国外孙子视屏时，还喂了她一口。我很少看到阿嬷那么开心，你们的温馨感动了我们. 明年阿嫲生日，等我们！回祝你们，生意兴荣�

Had lunch on 12 Jun 2018 with my mum and sisters. All enjoyed 🤗 so much and thumbs UP 👍to Teochew City's Chef. All the dishes were served in unique cutleries and very well presented. Prices were reasonable and nice ambience. Will definitely go back to try more of their authentic dishes. Pls maintain the standard and prices 😄🍻

Love the porridge (it’s so delicious even on its own!) and the orh nee paste dessert. Would come back just for these.

We were here last night for Father's Day dinner. My parents love the food. They have authentic teochew dishes and also special dishes that you can't find elsewhere. Our fav dishes are 虾枣，锅烧酿鱼鳔，竹炭豆腐，潮州粿条，and the candied floss yam and sweet potato �! Yummylicious�. Reasonable price and great service from the staffs. Restaurant is new so credit card payment is not ready at the moment. Remember to bring cash or nets card along!
