Yong Fu

Yong Fu is a Ningbo seafood restaurant in Tower 5 of Suntec City Mall. It opened in November 2024 as the first overseas branch of Yong Fu, a restaurant from Shanghai. Ningbo is a port city in Zhejiang province on China's east coast. Its cooking is built around very fresh seafood.

The Singapore restaurant holds One MICHELIN Star in the MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2026. According to the restaurant, its Shanghai parent has been awarded a Michelin star and three Black Pearl diamonds.

What to order

Ningbo cooking keeps flavours clean and simple, so the seafood is the star. The MICHELIN Guide notes that most of the seafood is flown in from Zhejiang. The menu also borrows from Chaoshan and Hunan cooking to suit local tastes. It changes with the seasons.

• Raw marinated crab: a signature dish, which the MICHELIN Guide calls the Ningbo 18 Cuts. Raw crab is marinated in spiced soy and prized for its rich orange roe.
• Wild-caught yellow croaker: a classic fish of the East China Sea, poached or braised in soy.
• Crayfish in aged huadiao wine: crayfish steeped in a ten-year-old Chinese rice wine and served cold.
• Ningbo rice cake: chewy rice cakes stir-fried with swimming crab, sea anemone or greens.
• Black sesame rice balls: glutinous rice balls filled with black sesame paste, made to order.

Other choices include smoked pomfret, razor clams cooked several ways, hairtail fish and Ningbo-style braised pork belly. A set menu for two is available on weekdays, which is an easier way in for small parties.

The setting

The dining room is designed to feel like an elegant private home. Bookshelves, fine porcelain, clay teapots and painted scrolls set the tone. Service is formal and the pace is unhurried, which suits family celebrations and business meals.

There are two main dining areas and six private rooms. The private rooms seat from five to 18 guests. Each has its own tea table and en-suite restroom. The main dining area can also be booked out for events of up to 50 guests.
