What's different about the steamboat here is that they uses the old school kind of steamboat pot where it uses burning charcoal to keep the soup boiling.

Famous for their charcoal steamboat. For soup base u can choose with or without milk. I prefer it with milk as the taste will be more intense & rich with flavour. What I love here is their fried fish fillet. Fresh & crispy.

Chuan Yee Charcoal Steamboat is an absolute gem! The experience of cooking over real charcoal adds such a rich flavor that you just can’t get from electric pots.

One of our all-time favorite spots, always fully packed. Reservations are a must! Seriously, you really need to make a reservation, or you'll miss out! The set meal comes with generous portions and very fresh ingredients.

The soup base is made with dried flounder broth, which is rich and sweet. The set meal originally included quite a few hot pot ingredients, the fresh fish slices were very fresh, and the shrimp paste and meat chunks were must-orders.

The fish head soup base is rich and flavorful, with a smooth and satisfying palate. Most of the ingredients are homemade and very fresh. The service is attentive, and the portions are generous.

Value for money charcoal steamboat. Broth is flavourful with garlic taste, fresh grouper slices is thick while fried grouper pieces generous serving. The signature mince pork was a letdown personally, wished it was marinated better.

I love the steamboat here. There is a wide varieties of dishes, and a variety of dipping sauces. The fried fish is a must try item. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Delicious. The soup at the end is very sweet and delish.
