The concept
This is authentic Ningbo cuisine from eastern Zhejiang: saline, direct flavours built on cold-water seafood flown in from the region, with the philosophy of amplifying an ingredient rather than transforming it. It is distinct from sweet Shanghainese and subtle Cantonese cooking, though it borrows refined Shanghai technique and a few Chaoshan and Hunan touches for the local palate.
The chef
The brand was founded in Shanghai by Weng Yongjun, who scouted overseas from 2023 and chose Singapore first. The kitchen is guided by chef-consultant Huang Jing Hui, whose Michelin-starred experience includes Mandarin Oriental Guangzhou; the day-to-day Singapore head chef is not named publicly.
Getting there
Suntec City Mall, Tower 5, #01-444, 3 Temasek Boulevard, in the Downtown Core near Marina Bay. The nearest MRT is Promenade (Circle and Downtown lines), with Suntec connected by underground walkways to Tower 5; City Hall is about a 5-to-7-minute walk via the Raffles City linkway.
Prices
Singapore per-head pricing is not fully published. As a guide, expect roughly S$80 to S$150 per person at lunch and around S$150 to S$300-plus at dinner; an early review put lunch and dinner sets at S$499 for two. Prices sit at the MICHELIN $$$ tier, before service charge and GST.
How to book
Reserve on +65 8900 8046, by email at [email protected], or via Chope. Newly starred, so book two to three weeks ahead, especially for weekend dinner or the full live-seafood offer.
Opening hours
Open daily. Lunch is 11.30am to 2.30pm and dinner 5.30pm to 10pm, with no regular closing day; confirm around public holidays.
The room & dress
The room is styled like an elegant home — bookshelves, fine porcelain, clay teapots and brush-painting scrolls — quiet and intimate, with small capacity and leisurely, formal service. Dress is smart casual.
A little history
Yong Fu began in Shanghai as a high-end brand, earned a MICHELIN star and a Black Pearl rating there, and expanded to Hong Kong in 2019. The Singapore restaurant, its first overseas, opened at Suntec City in November 2024, made the MICHELIN Selected list in 2025, and was promoted to one star on 4 August 2026 — one of six new one-stars that edition.
Who it’s for
For diners after authentic regional Chinese cooking beyond the usual Cantonese and Sichuan, for special occasions, business dinners or date nights. It fills a Ningbo gap in Singapore's premium Chinese scene, and the "Ningbo 18 Cuts" is a rare thing to try.
