    We returned to Emily Yeoh for the mudcrab. Once again it was outstanding! My husband had the Duck Curry and has put it on his list of favourites. Make sure you order the Mantao Buns.

    Check out my Google review which outlines our experience, a very disappointing meal, nothing like the pictures show online or our expectation of a MasterChef owner. They’ve lost my business.

    The food and service here were absolutely top-notch! The chefs did an amazing job! My absolute favourites were the mud crab and the Char Xiu Wagyu — both were incredibly delicious. The seasonal vegetables were also fresh, light and refreshing, which was a perfect balance to the richer dishes. The front-of-house team provided such warm and attentive service, which made my birthday celebration even more special. She was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and gave us plenty of time to decide what to order without ever making us feel rushed. Thank you for making my birthday dinner such a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

    The food and service at Emily Yeoh is delicious, especially the laksa (although it would help if the prawns were peeled). The ambience could be softened a bit but it's certainly not uncomfortable. My endorsement is we keep going back!

    We had a lovely experience at Emily Yeoh's place--great food, very friendly service, and a low level of noise, which meant we had a great time catching up with friends. Thank you, Emily!
