This eatery occupies its own coffeeshop. They have indoor and patio seating areas. They have achieved the Michelin Bib Gourmand award since 2017 to 2025, with the exception of 2020 during the Covid pandemic. They are famous for the steamed fish dishes that can be done many ways: curry fish head, Cantonese style, They have other zi char dishes (Prawn paste chicken, Hae chor, steamed pork patties with salted fish) and steamed dishes (Braised pork belly, braised pig trotters and steamed herbal chicken) They also have readydishes that you can pick such salted vegetables, spicy hae bee, vegetables and other dishes. We had the following for our meal: - Bittergourd fried egg: Stir fried sliced bittergourd with sated egg yolk and chicken egg. Delicious! - Prawn paste chicken wing: Crunchy on the outside and flavorful. Good. - Hae Chor: Deep fried thick chunks of meat rolls served with sweet sauce. The filling was too moist. - Stewed lily flower with black fungus: This is not a common dish and I order it whenever I am here. It is unique and good. - Diced chicken with dried chilli: I find this so so. The above dishes came up to $40 for 4 people. If you order fish, it will costs upwards of $40 per dish. Their dip of cut chili with soy bean, soy sauce and lime is unique and pairs well with the dishes. Recommended! 😋👍🏻👍🏻

Kitty and I, all the way from Punggol, decided to visit the Singapore Science Centre today. We reached Jurong at about 1.50 PM, and, after renting a HELLO bike, decided to cycle over to Zai Shun Curry Fish Head because Kitty loves fish and wanted to try this Michelin recommended place. We cycled down from Jurong and reached the eatery at about 2.35 PM. I have been to Zai Shun before, a few years ago, when my colleagues brought me, saying it was a famous place for fish. I recommended it to Kitty today, and she was intrigued. When we stepped into the coffee shop, we were amazed to see that Zai Shun has practically taken over 90% of the space, leaving only one drink store and Komalas Express vegetarian restaurant. It was not difficult to find the eatery, as we navigated using Google Maps. When we reached the coffee shop, it was quite vibrant, with almost all the patrons enjoying fish. Even at 2.35 PM, it was still very crowded, despite the shop closing at 3 PM. We ordered Steamed Red Grouper (Cantonese style) and Stir-fried water spinach with Belacan. The stir fried water spinach came five minutes later, and the fish came 10 minutes later, which was quite fast. We chose the red grouper because it did not have too much fish left, as the other fish were quite large. The store owner recommended the red grouper as a suitable size for the two of us, and although it was on the more expensive side, we decided to go for it. The fish was fresh and of good quality, and we dipped it with chili soy sauce dip with fermented soybeans. We chose the Hong Kong style, which is more of a Cantonese style, and this establishment was very capable of preparing it well. Kitty liked it. For the stir fried water spinach (kangkong), the taste was okay, with the shrimp paste giving it a distinctive umami flavour. The belacan did not overpower the kangkong. While it's a coffee shop, the price point felt on the pricier side. However, the fish and the food overall were nice, and it's a Michelin awarded establishment. The total price came to sixty three dollars and forty cents. We finished our meal at around 3.10 PM, and the coffee shop started to quieten down. The crowd started to disperse, even the drink stall started to close their store. It seems that the entire coffee shop operates only until 3 to 4 PM, and once this establishment closes, the whole coffee shop follows suit.

For people that loves steam fish, Zai Shun is definitely one of the go to places. Had HK style steamed parrot fish and supplemented by Hae Bee Hiam and Prawn roll. The fish is very tender, sweet and flavourful. Do come early (11.00am) to secure a seat and the fish of your choice. They serve Parrot, Grouper, Pomfret, Rabbitfish and a few others.

The place to come for steamed fish. They have many type of fishes. If I were you, ask the boss for his recommendations. You never go wrong for the fish of the day. A must order. Then of course the Bitter gourd, and the hae bi hiam. Goes well with the porridge. Have a look at my photos. Go early in the morning to avoid queues. I was there at 7am. Plenty of seats. People are earlier than me.

Been here for years, never reviewed on Google. Old favourites still good, but the red grouper isn't as sweet and tender as you expect, or as I rmbed for somewhere that could rank amongst the top steamed fish places in SG Also, one problem w their hongkong style steamed fish is that their soy sauce is way too mild, you almost have to drink it for it to be enough

My first visit to Zai Shun today. Bad points first: The queue was super long and felt pretty disorganized, which honestly did not make for a great first impression. On top of that, it felt quite overpriced initially, given the long wait time. However, the moment the food arrived, everything changed. Could understand the hype. The fish was the star of the show—it is super fresh and incredibly soft. Furthermore, the portion size is big as well - this is what made the price suddenly feel kinda worth it. Despite the long, disorganized queue and the initial sting of the price tag, I would absolutely come back for the fish.

Super long que, but the wait is worth while. Ordering is a brisk, the drink stall is equally friendly and fast. The grouper was fresh and savoury. Vegetables and meat dishes was fantastic. The service team function as a team. Fast and alert. Serving and clearing is equally pleasant to view. Thank you for your patience. Thumps up to the management and team players. We all enjoyed ourselves. We highly recommend to you for any family gathering and events, good food, good price, good service and keep up the productive work. Regards.

Fabulous fabulous, marvelous fish place! If you liked steam fish, come here! If you are thinking of going to Johor to eat cheaper fish, forget about it and come here! Save yourself the trip. Fishes here are priced way below what they are served at in restaurants. Fishes are caught fresh every morning and served until only that afternoon. They put the fishes in this boiler kinda thing and let it steam through. The end result is a fish with tender and steamy flesh ready to be eaten. The sides are also cooked very well. We enjoyed the bittergourd dish with salted eggs very much. One small gripe I have about this place is I wished they work on the fish preservation or marination a bit more. There is a very slight fishiness taste if you come a bit later like 2pm or so. Come early, get your fresh fish and you will be fine.

Absolutely fabulous! !!! It is no wonder that it is so famous! Their supply of fishes for steamed fish is soooo fresh!!! I love their prawn meat rolls! We ordered: 1. Steamed fish with bean paste (my first time eating it with bean paste) 2. Sambal Kang Kong 3. Fried prawn meat rolls 4. Salad prawns 5. Hotplate tofu Yum!!! Every plate was wiped clean! I am definitely coming back again!!!

This stall actually serves a large variety of food apart from the usual curry fish head. I ordered the steamed shark head and pomfret following the recommendations of my friends, and to put it simply, the two dishes were excellent! The pomfret was especially fresh and did not have that fishy flavor that you would find in fish that is not so fresh anymore. However, one thing that I disliked was that the service is not as friendly, probably because they were very busy with customers. No smiles, just quick and cursory service. But anyway, I was here for the food so I did not care too much about the service either. They also serve some simple yet delicious dishes, such as fried eggs with minced meat and long beans with belacan. Both dishes were excellent and went well with whatever fish that we were eating. Do give this stall a try and you won't be disappointed.

I don't really eat bitter gourd, but the salted egg with bitter gourd here is really to die for. It doesn't taste bitter at all and has the aromatic egg yolk with fried eggs. i suspect salted bean curd is added to the dish as well. This is one dish you definitely have to order when you're there. This store also serves Curry Fish head as depicted on their signage, but they are also popular for steam fish and teochew porridge. Driving all the way to Jurong is definitely worth it - remember it only opens in the afternoons though!

This place is packed every day for a good reason. The grouper we ordered was fresh and perfectly steamed. Equally delicious was the braised pork belly, which was simmered in an umami-rich soy sauce perfect for spooning over rice. Even the beverages here are far from ordinary: we all had the popular soursop drink, freshly squeezed from the fruit. Expect to pay around $30+ per pax.

Made a special trip all the way to Jurong to try their food after my mum brought home takeaways from this stall. Must-trys is this fish of bitter gourd and salted egg. This was delish. I don't really enjoy bitter gourd but when cooked this way, the salted egg took away its bitter taste! It seems like the must try dish here is also the steam pomfret and pig trotters. You can choose to order a plate of rice with 2 dishes (cai peng style) at $3.50 or order cue char style. Overall the prices here are quite reasonable.
