BYD Boat Quay 1826

Celebrated birthday here and it’s really a very special location to gather and celebrate. If you are sensitive to pet smell, go to second floor. Food is good. Xiwen was so good on her service in helping us book a long table for our gathering of 10 pax and her team mates are really prompt in their serving. Fast serving, good food, affordable set meals.

Food was actually solid especially the mains. Portions decent, flavours on point! Price is good too 👍🏻 Ambience is the real win though ~ right by the river, nice breeze at night, and the view just hits different. Good place to chill, talk, or just sit there and enjoy the moment. Will come back for the food and ambience for sure! 💯

We were not given menus and when we requested, the waitress walked away in a foul mood and slapped a few on the table before walking off. No eye contact and no acknowledgement Quality like Saizeriya, but at 4x the cost. Food tastes like it is prepared in bulk, seemingly from gallon containers. We had ribs, burger sliders, squid, chicken wings, mushroom soup, Cajun chicken, bacon linguine and risotto. The best tasting dish was the fries. Overall the meal feels like they were microwaved and assembled , not cooked. The mains were served before the starters, with one of the starters only served after we were almost done. Our mains were also served sporadically. There was about 35 mins between the first main and the final one served. Beer was terrible. Don’t be fooled by the awards shown on the menu. Even the teenagers in our group says they won’t come back. And they love nasty food for some reason. The total was almost $400 for only 7 meals. We feel like we’ve wasted our money

Had a very satisfying meal here. The dishes were well executed and thoughtfully presented, with a nice balance between local, Chinese, western flavours. Portions were reasonable and good for sharing. Dessert was a pleasant surprise, nicely done. Overall, a comfortable place for a relaxed meal at Boat Quay, suitable for both casual gatherings and catching up over good food. Would return.

I’d recommend a reservation here, it’s almost impossible to walk-in on the weekends. The miso seafood pasta was decent, I loved the creaminess mixed with the taste of seafood. However, the taste of miso cream with pasta can get ‘jelak’ really fast… It needs some other flavour profile to make it a more all rounded dish. Seafood tastes fresh. Laziji chicken is not the usual kind, the chicken pieces here are much larger, with less chilli on the plate. Flavour is wonderfully done, very addictive. Chicken pieces are not the most consistent, some taste dry and some taste juicy, some are crispy skin. For what it is, I’d say a good job. Steak is steak, nothing out of the ordinary with this dish, unfortunately. The dessert was this matcha cream/foam on some kind of biscuit/pastry. The matcha flavour is really strong in a good way, with the foamy texture helping to balance it out. Enjoyable! Also got their Honey Kyodo Tea, which I was kind of blown away by. You can taste the individual, unique flavours inside the tea, which make it very fragrant. Price is on the higher side, I recommend coming with the BYD vouchers. Atmosphere is nice, but can get noisy at peak hours, with other tables doing little photoshoots etc. Service is great, very welcoming crew every step of the way. Overall, I will be back again one day, this was a good experience.
