Had a great time. Showed up early on a very hot day and we were able to sit inside in the ac. The beers were cold, chili crab was perfectly prepared, and the service was amazing. This place might be the only legit spot on this strip.
Riverside tze char and cold craft beer on Boat Quay
George Town Tze Char and Craft Beer is a seafood restaurant in Singapore, set along the riverfront at Boat Quay. Founded in 1986, our kitchen serves tze char specialties alongside Malaysian, Chinese, and barbecue dishes until 3:00 AM daily. We prepare chili crab, black pepper crab, sambal stingray, and cereal prawns, paired with 35 varieties of beer served in frozen mugs as boats drift along the Singapore River.

Came for dinner on a weekday. Was not that busy was easy to get a table. Food is excellent and seems to be reasonably priced. Crab is a must. We also had the stingray and the few other dishes. Service was okay could have been a bit better had to wait sometime for the food even though it wasn't full. Apart from that really enjoyed the experience.
Had a really enjoyable seafood dinner here with friends. The location is fantastic — right by the Singapore River at Boat Quay. We arrived before sunset and stayed until the lights came on, with boats passing by while we ate. Such a lovely atmosphere. We had the Black Pepper Crab, Chilli Boston Lobster, Cereal Prawns, Salted Egg Ribs, Rendang Wagyu Beef, Thai Style Fried Squid, Sambal Kang Kong and Penang Kway Teow. The seafood was fresh, and I especially liked the cereal prawns — crispy and fragrant outside, while the prawns were fresh and bouncy. They also have a surprisingly large drinks menu. We tried the fruity 8+1 slushies, which were really refreshing by the river. A great place for a relaxed seafood dinner with friends, especially if you want to enjoy the Singapore River atmosphere at the same time.
Went there for dinner around 6pm just in time for sunset. Decided to try this restaurant because of the great riverside view. Was rewarded with fresh seafood and fantastic beer selection. The variety of beers and live seafood is great! Ordered some seafood and stir fried dishes and all of them delivered! Will come back for more!
Stopped by the very first seafood tze char (煮炒) spot we saw near Clarke Quay after checking out their extensive menu and fair prices—and we're so glad we did! Here is what we ordered: • Cereal Prawns: Highly recommended! The prawns were super fresh, already shelled, and deveined (a huge plus!). Wok-fried over high heat with crispy cereal—aromatic, flavorful, and best eaten piping hot. • Sambal Kankong (Stir-Fried Water Spinach): Had a nice spicy kick with a great crunchy texture. (A bit spicy if you have a low tolerance, so remember to request it mild or non-spicy if needed!) • Chilli Crab with Fried Mantous: A absolute must-try Singapore classic! Dunking the warm, crispy mantous into the rich crab sauce is the authentic local way to enjoy it. The staff was warm, friendly, and easy to communicate with. They gave thoughtful dish recommendations without being pushy. Excellent value for money, fresh ingredients, and great authentic flavors right near Clarke Quay. We’ll definitely be back!
