5 ON 25

my favourite chinese restaurant thats not on any fine dining list, nor do they care to be. located on the 25th floor of the Andaz Hotel, 5 on 25 isnt like your typical chinese restaurant in that it doesnt have a chinese name. interior feels contemporary, and are the minimalist plateware the dishes are plated on. i love the view here and how peaceful this restaurant feels. i visit whenever i need a hit of comfort in a safe space. everyone ive introduced this restaurant to were shocked its not packed to the gills with diners. selfishly i had hoped it’ll stay this way. but i dont wish to gatekeep good food anymore. my favourite comfort staples at 5 on 25: lobster paofan, tea smoked roast duck, HK kailan. this time round i was introduced to the sunday dim sum lunch set.. at $68 per pax. we got a FEAST of 1 soup (per pax), 5 dim sum baskets (for the table), 2 main dishes (for the table), 1 carb (to share) and dessert (per pax). we ordered: chicken soup, abalone glutinous rice in lotus leaf, deep fried lobster rolls, siew mai, black pepper duck buns, mushroom dumplings, sweet sour pork, salt pepper squid, seafood fried rice, and for dessert mango sago. SO SATISFYING and super great value. pay by Kris+ and earn 10 miles per dollar you pay on ur bill. big love to my favouritest server Theresa for always anticipating our needs.

Tried the $68 per pax yum cha set, and the dishes were exquisite. Highlights included the braised fish soup, black pepper cherry valley duck buns, and crispy fried black cod. Steamed glutinous rice with abalone is served as individual portion. The sweet and sour pork was as expected, while the wok‑fried egg noodles leaned a little on the salty side. Service was impeccable, and the 5 on 25 signature tea is highly recommended as the perfect pairing. With panoramic views of the city skyline, this restaurant is a great choice for celebrating special occasions or treating your loved ones to something special.

Incredible place to satisfy your dim sum cravings, the ingredients quality here is truly remarkable. Each dish stands out from other restaurant with its presentation, ingredient choice, or taste. Located on the 25th floor, you get a birds eye view to further elevate your dining experience, with a peaceful environment as tables are spaced out and limited, furthermore, dishes are served one by one to let you ease into your meal. Overall, portion size is suitable for most appetites, starting with a soup, followed by dim sum, side dishes and finally dessert of the day(mango sago in this cass). Highly recommend visiting as this is one of if not the best dim sum restaurants I have personally been to. The service here is also commendable with friendly staff and fast service.

Almost perfect experience - came here with godparents and everyone was full of praises. The food was delightful - our favourites are listed below. Beetroot fried rice with prawns was the star of the night; outstanding flavours and texture in every mouth. Tenderloin beef with wasabi was perfectly done, black vinegar fried cod was also fantastic (4 pieces). The signature Cantonese style roasted duck skin was absolutely amazing and even better paired with their perfect home-made popiah skin (texture is chewy, fresh), the only complain was that the the duck meat that came after tasted a bit dry and we wished they had recommended us to cook it with second serving (we weren’t asked). Wife loved the crispy mushroom appetiser. Desserts were exquisite though portions were small. Service was very good too - unfortunately we did not get the name of the gentleman who took our orders; he made really good recommendations. Even though the team was small, tea refills were constant. Loved the ambience of the place - dim, classy Shanghai style with a variety of soft Chinese music in the background really made it comfortable for conversations. Overall, outstanding and would return.

We chose here for a birthday celebration and were very impressed. While the prices are premium but the quality of the food truly matches it. Our guests couldn’t stop praising the delicious dishes and the excellent service. A special thank you to Teresa for her attentiveness and great recommendations, she really made our experience extra special. Good promotion tie with Grab, hope it can be extended.

Great service! loved the food so much and we were really really stuffed. I particularly loved the lobster roll and the roast duck. Nothing too crazy but the taste was very on point for most dishes. But we had the worst seat in the house right next to the kitchen so the aircon kept leaking out and the interruption was like real. So I had to give the atmosphere a 1 star.

Tried their latest Weekend Yum Cha experience for only $68 and honestly I think it is worth the price. You get to choose a choice of soup, 5 Dim Sum, 2 Chef’s Recommendation, 1 choice of Vegetables/Rice/Noodles and Dessert!

Came here for Restaurant Week and tried the dinner menu—what a treat! We started off with the prawn appetizer, which was beautifully executed and fragrant with truffle oil. The soup followed—warm, tasty, and comforting. For mains, we had the pork chop, which was crispy and flavorful. The noodles came in a very generous portion and were wonderfully aromatic. Dessert was also sizeable—so much so that we couldn’t finish it. Noticing this, the manager, Theresa, came by with genuine care and concern. She gently checked in and asked if everything was okay. When we mentioned we were simply too full, she kindly offered a lighter alternative: a lime sorbet with lychee to share. It was refreshing and beautifully presented—such a thoughtful and elegant touch. Theresa truly elevated the entire dining experience. Her warm, attentive, and thoughtful service stood out. It's rare to encounter such genuine hospitality even at michelin restaurants sometimes, and she’s certainly one of the best servers I’ve had the pleasure to meet. The rest of the team was equally courteous, prompt, and professional. Service was smooth throughout, and the staff showed great knowledge of the menu, confidently offering explanations and recommendations when we had questions. You could really feel that the team takes pride in what they do. We also tried their in-house blend of Chinese teas—the chrysanthemum one was particularly special, aromatic, and calming. A lovely complement to the meal. The ambience of the restaurant added even more to the experience—elegant chinaware, beautiful furnishings, and scenic views overlooking Bugis and beyond. The entire evening was a wonderful combination of great food, impeccable service, and lovely surroundings. It's definitely a place I’d return to—not just for the cuisine, but for the heartfelt hospitality that made us feel so well taken care of.
