Reviews of Min Jiang

C.

Throughout the lunch, I was served by a welcoming, friendly and helpful waitress, Chui Hua. I ordered a sliced cod fish porridge, prawn rice roll, and chilled avocado with coffee ice cream. All cooked to perfection. The Chrysanthemum tea was great. Service at the payment counter by Kar Lai was efficient. She offered to bring me the durian cream puff from the hotel cafe side so that I can make the payment together. Overall, it was a perfect dining and service experience. Thank you very much.

Dim sum was pretty average, nothing to shout out. Went there mainly for their hairy crab, decent price and good. Service was not very prompt due to under-staffed but overall experience still considered okay.

Having not visited Min Jiang since the pandemic, I was in nostalgia when I drove up the carpark to the restaurant, with a hungry stomach too! The impeccable service of the wait team is as how I remember them, attentive and making sure our teacups are never empty. Food is flavoursome and satisfying, albeit portions have shrank a lot. Better order double portions if you’re hungry! Ambience wise, although lighting and the interior design is comfortable and relaxing, the tables are placed too near for comfort, and with some patrons laughing and chatting too loudly, we have to raise our voices too to allow ourselves to be heard, adding into the squawking and howling. 😂 Of course I’m not expecting fine dining ambience, but the sound level is somewhat comparable to a crowded coffeeshop. Overall, it’s a nice go to place for dim sum with the family. 👍🏼

Have been coming here for years, the food is always good. Love the Peking duck and duck and lettuce wraps in particular. Wasabi prawns used to be good but not so much anymore but the salted egg lobster is fantastic as is the crispy rice with hot and sour soup. Service could be better the staff is quite loud when clearing, in general there could be better ambience.

1st time visit.... Food was served pretty fast.... Disappointed egg tarts was sold out so fast, after our 1st order. Spring onion pastry flour too thick, very jelat if eat more. Roast duck is great!!

Seldom give 3 stars, but the service me and my family got at Min Jiang was very disappointing. Went there on a Sunday night to celebrate my mum's birthday, and ordered a couple of dishes (Peking duck, Pumpkin with pork floss, 辣子鸡，fried yee-fu mee, French beans and Brinjal). The food taste was okay only, nothing to rave about. But the food came out at a tortoise pace, 1 by 1, with at least a 15-20 min interval between them. Not sure if the staff were busy with serving the private dining guests or understaffed, because we only got the food served faster to us when we highlighted to the staff that it was slow and she went to check. The restaurant was not even full house. The staff were generally not very pleasant too, but I would give compliments to only 1 of the staff (Huang), who helped to check on the food and even offered to take a family picture for us (on her own initiative). Given this is an established restaurant in a 5-star hotel, we were upset by the level of service given and we had paid $400 plus for the meal. Service at a normal zi-char place may have been even better. Wouldn't come back again from this bad experience, but maybe its just their level of service being inconsistent seeing there are other positive reviews.

Peking duck skin was crisp and not fatty. The duck meat was served stirred fried with lettuce. Duck meat was tender and flavourful. Live prawn prepared with salt and pepper was good too.

S. Y.

The food was great, but the service was somewhat lacking. We were seated for at least 10 minutes while waiting for the rest of the party and no one came to serve us any water or asked if we wanted any. I heard a drumming / knocking sound and realised one of the waiters was standing at one of the empty tables and idly drumming his knuckles on the table. We tried to order 2 different types of wine but both were out of stock; they should have informed us from the onset, especially since one of it was in the per-glass list. During the meal, the waitress served me one of the plates she had just cleared from my friend; complete with the leftovers from the previous dish - I think she was genuinely absent minded, but I had NEVER been served a leftover dish before and certainly did not expect that from a restaurant of this standard. We had some vegetarians in the group and even though we reminded the servers a few times, they placed the Peking duck in front of them! Lastly, we had tried to add an additional pax to the the reservation a day earlier, but they told us they place was full. However, we were there til almost 9pm and there were still plenty of empty tables! I was truly surprised by the service here - had expected more from a place like this. Food wise, everything was great! The Beijing Duck was delicious - crispy and juicy. The chicken soup was light yet flavourful and rich. The fried mee pok was also very good, not oily or too heavy like the usual fried noodles.

M. T.

Service is great and setting is decent to entertain any occasion. Food is good but nothing to shout about. The good dishes: siew mai, roast pork belly, fried bean curd roll and the noodles. Desserts are also worth trying: durian ice cream, mango sago and black glutinous gula Melaka ice cream dessert. But all in all, for the price, I’d expect a more memorable experience with the “taste” for dim sum. I wouldn’t come back just for dim sum.

We had the best peking duck ever in Minjiang in London, and finally paid the outlet in Singapore a visit. We thought the food was delicious but very pricey for what it was. However, the smoked duck is an item that we would definitely return for and gladly spend on because it tastes like smoked duck, peking duck and roast duck all at once, and came with pancakes. Come here for the five star service, the $8 per pax rose pu-erh tea, $3 braised peanuts, and all of the small touches that elevates a fairly traditional chinese dining experience.

S. L.

Came here for my mum's birthday lunch at 11am. Peking duck and fu pi grin were good but the char siew sou was bad. My parents enjoyed the braised ee-fu noodles. Service was very slow as they were understaffed. Even though the server repeated our order correctly, she did not order the porridge for us. We had to cancel 2 dishes because they took too long. Also, they served most of the dim sum first, followed by the duck, noodles, then the fu pi grin. The order of the dishes didn't make sense. On the bright sid, the staff allowed me to bring my own cake, which was a relief as the deli didn't have suitable cakes. This experience, combined with the poor experience at the coffee lounge earlier this week, makes us want to reconsider renewing the gourmet card.

n. y.

Excellent dim sum but terrible service. Once is enough. Delicious traditional dim sum and generous vegetarian selections, both alacarte and set menu (min 2 pax). Serving up fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. Though the service was horrible. Too few waiters in an oddly shaped restaurant making it very difficult to get the staff attention. Food was painstakingly slow and they made a wrong order. The bill also came out wrong, overcharging us by 2 dishes and had to be corrected. While the food was great, don't think it's worth the hassle.

S. L.

It was my 1st time here for lunch. Place was about half full on a Monday lunch. The food was acceptable, about the same standard as the typical Chinese restaurants in hotel, so wont disappoint. One area to improve is really the efficiency and friendliness of the servers. The lady who served us certainly was quite cold and unwelcoming. It wasnt even crowded when we arrived when the resto just opened and we were treated coldly. But by about 1230pm when crowd starts to fill, i can see they are probably understaffed, I can see some of our dishes came out and was just left there as there was was no one to bring out to our table. So i had to chase them up only to be served cold.

A. C.

The main tim sum dishes are quite average. Price is considered cheap based on hotel rates. There are good mentioned - steamed mushroom bun with lotus seed paste and pine nuts (very interesting), pan-fried sandwhich bun with Dong Po Rou and capsicum is good try. Tea however is rather tasteless.

Min Jiang at Goodwood Park Hotel has just reopened after a makeover. It has been around since 1982, but the recent refurbishment now presents this prestigious Chinese restaurant in contemporary chinoiserie interior. The interior still looks warm, like before, and this elegance and warmth mirrors the service I've always received at Min Jiang. The menu has been refreshed as well, with modern presentation but familiar flavours. Take for example this playful rabbit and carrot dim sum - it is a rabbit dumpling filled with prawn and carrot (tasting like har gow with better contrast of textures within), and a carrot-shaped glutinous pastry filled with char siew (like char siew sou with more tasty pastry exterior with a substantial bite). Other dishes I've tried were also very good - refined yet comforting.

We just had a wonderful dinner. Yep it was so tasty and delicious that some photos are missing. We do recommend you try this restaurant oh and try the durian in coconut milk dessert 😋

W. B.

The sichuan pop chicken was good, prawns for wasabi was fresh. An overrall good food quality. The koi nian guo was cute, chewy and not too sweet. A nice dessert for CNY to signify Pu Pu Gao Sheng Hong Yun Tang Tuo. - Progress n Gd Luck. However staff tends to hover around and clearing though with good intentions but make guest feel pressured to go off.

T. B.

Will like to express my thanks and appreciation to Don Eng ( Snr Catering Sales Manager) and staff who serve us during our ROM on 1st of May @ Min Jiang- Long Cheng & De Yang VIP room. Excellence service and very polite waiter/waitress. Special thanks to Don Eng for arranging signboard at lobby & restaurant, ROM table flower arrangement, and red dates tea set etc.

F. L.

Awesome food! And service was great! The soup we had was really good! Salted Egg Pumpkin was the best dish!

a.

Came here for their dimsum and I think it's OK. Not great but not bad. Service is good but I think that day, the staff serving us is new. Didn't know everything about the menu but noobie, OK la. Would be nicer if they had more selections of chilli sauce like those in HK.

T. T.

It was my mother's birthday and we booked a table at Ming Jiang.The Peking duck was legit good and the avocado dessert was rich and tasteful. Overall ambience was nice.

S. F.

CNY lunch was pricey but it was expected due to the holiday. Service was good. Food was acceptable. We were asked to pay full prepayment of SGD857 a week before the reservation. So when we were billed an additional SGD257 upon bill out, we were surprised. It was explained to us that the flower tea, bakwa, sweets, plus SC and Tax were not part of the "full prepayment". We wouldn't have any issue paying for additional SGD257 had these been disclosed beforehand. If you asked for full prepayment, it should be, as you say "full." This would help manage your customer's expectations better.

Min Jiang, like many of the restaurants at Goodwood, are longstanding stalwarts in Singapore's good scene. Whatever changes may have taken place in the kitchen, the food standards never ever drop a notch. This is true of MJ where the chinese cuisine is excellent especially the roast meats, all crispy skin and succulent and tender meats. Service is brilliant and all round excellence.

E. T.

Excellent service, good tea options. Great place for family gatherings.

R. L.

Decent dim sum lunch, especially like the Kai lan (forgot to take pictures). We tried the normal ones this time, and will definitely come back to the special ones and desserts next time:)

I. K.

Had my chinese reunion dinner at min jiang. Ambience was good and comfortable. They had this interesting tea that is initially a ball. Once simmered in hot water, it expands and blossom out to be a flower. Food portion was sufficient. Whole family was more than satisfied. Will definitely come here again.

A. L.

Lunch at Min Jiang. Too costly lunch package for the food that are served. But their salted prawn is really yummy. The rest are average dishes.

L.

Lovely dim sum for brunch. Cutely designed. Delicious to eat.

G. F.

The best durian puff is one of the best The other is char siew

J. N.

Great atmosphere, good food except the Peking duck, it is so horrible, not authentic at all, Its just a plate of skin which is tasteless and a plate of fried duck meat. Only the sauce tastes like Peking duck dipping sauce.

D. C.

We have always enjoyed eating at Min Jiang. Food quality is always consistent and authentic. But sadly the lack of service is also almost always consistent. There are servers walking around but it always is hard to get any service! It doesn't help that the hanging light in the center blocks out half the vision, those are just way too big for the space. Makes photo taking challenging as well.

The person taking my order was impatient. Halfway my order, she went and ushered others in. I wasn't taking her time at all, only asking her for her opinion on beef or chicken. Service was slow. Time between dishes were rather long. Esp the dessert of mango sago which I assumed is just a ready made item. After spending $360 on the meal for just my son and I ($180 each), I asked if there is complimentary parking. She said needs $400. Ok. Then she told me per entry after 6pm is $5. If I were to buy a parking tkt from the hotel, it is also $5. So I didn't buy the tkt. I came in at 7.15pm. My parking turned out to be $11. Her ignorance and general nonchalance spoilt what could could have been a great evening for us, cos the food was really delicious , albeit a bit expensive.

A. L.

I love going to Min Jiang since the 80s but since they moved into the hotel building, service and quality seems to have dropped. Most of the old familiar faces were gone. This time around the service seems to improved quite a bit. The cooking is a lot better too. The hot and sour soup and stringy beans were like in the 89s. Although the slice pork with garlic could be better, the overall standard was a lot better now. Hope they'll continue to get better..

Chinese Asian fusion restaurant. Freshly prepared foods and delicious. Roasted Duck and Pork is amazing. Beef and vegetables, so soft and tender. Great for family parties, romantic events and all round cuisine. Like and follow for more amazing places to see and visit around the World.

N. M.

The standout dishes were bright green, perfectly cooked asparagus with mushrooms and the spicy, chewy chilli chicken. The onion pancakes were decent, if a bit dry. The vegetarian Peking duck was a disappointment. It came with 6 tiny flakes of mock duck, 6 matchstick-sized pieces of cucumber, pancakes, and sauce -- more like an appetizer than a main. It's also worth mentioning that it took the kitchen 20-30 minutes to bring out each dish after we ordered. That was a long time! Still, we had a pleasant experience overall.

L. M.

Had dim sum and pre ordered the peking duck for lunch too. Like some other reviews, dim sum is fresh and good but for the pricing, you would expect that. Special shout out to the prawn siew mai ($8.8/3 pc), had more filling and better har gao elsewhere. The peking duck is a nice change, hadn't had that in a while but a tad too salty for our palette, and the crepe is a little too big so it overwhelmed the entire dish. Still enjoyed. I would have given 3.5 stars for the experience (but decided to round down since no such option) not because of the food, but the service. Our server, this sweet old lady (at table 28, 10 jul) was the saving grace, very polite and attentive. But the male and female managers (wearing the jackets) might need to reattend managerial school. For the male, behaved like gen z, you ask one question, he only gives you the answer to the question, and you have to further elaborate. E.g. 'do you have parking coupon... yes we do. Silence.' After a while, we walked back to him to follow up with, 'so when can you provide the coupon.. got minimum spend'. Hmm, looks very experienced but can't read the subtext. If this is crystal jade, i understand but Min Jiang? Female manager was worse. Apparently we get a plate of bones with meat since we ordered the whole duck. It wasn't there. Our kind server went to check and was berated by the manager, said she gave with the peking duck first course already. If there was a meat dish with bones, I think my family of 5 would have noticed. Our server clarified and was so apologetic for the mistake. Said manager came out, set the dish with a black face, and with no word walked off. I'm not too sure what we did that made her angry... Another saving grace- they remembered my dad's birthday and gave a slice of cake, so thanks for that. Honestly, reason I'm being so fussy is the brand of the restaurant. Hope they can work on their service. :)

The service is normal and the price is expensive for the dine

S. P.

Enjoyed the food and the service was outstanding! The ambience is excellent and the staff was quick to cater to our requests. Will be back!

K.

For great 四川food u have to try this. They pair it with premium tea.

B. C.

Food is not bad but premium tea is exorbitant - $9 per pax and not worth the price. Staff is also not very attentive - had to refill my tea several times.

B. S.

Excellent chinese food but be prepared to spend at least $50 per person. I have been going there regularly for the past 8 years and their food has always been consistent. As they are part of the Goodwood hotel, the durian desserts are also a speciality.

C. K. O.

Great Chinese restaurant for Dim Sum. Prices are on the high side, but food quality and atmosphere made up for it.

C. L.

Min Jiang to celebrate my daughter mil bd🎂👏. Food was yummy and delicious. Had been there long long ago.

Came in for dinner. The employees are very well trained and have great hospitality. Each dish has a deep flavor and is very satisfying. The stewed shrimp soup was exquisite.

I. X.

It is said to be a Sichuan restaurant, but it is recommended by Michelin. However, there are many dishes from other parts of China mixed in, and there are not many serious Sichuan dishes, which is embarrassing. The roast duck is not bad, the mapo tofu is numb, and the durian is so delicious!

N. A.

I haven't been able to try many items, but none of them are too spicy and have a nice flavor. The double boil chicken soup was amazing.

C. Y.

The local environment is very good and the service is first-class. It is recommended to book a table in advance.
