It was my first time at XLTT and the reviews DID NOT LIE! The beef was superb, service spectacular and everything was so so GOOD! Our service staff Lye Hong was exceptional! She was very friendly and attentive and barbecued our beef for us and our cooked beef was really tasty with the right temperatures! I was blown away by their birthday table decor for my partner, and how everyone was so friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend you to come by this place and it definitely will not be my last time here. Many more repeated visits to come!

Stepping into Xita Lao Tai Tai feels like walking into a place that already knows exactly what you need before you even sit down. The interior strikes that perfect balance between tradition and modern comfort, warm, inviting, and thoughtfully ...

Great dining place option at Bugis+! Good for small group hangout. The place is nicely decorated and they threw in some free side dishes. ...
Lia Bonang
The interior of this restaurant is so pretty. The food and the service is good as well. It is a bit of a mix of Chinese and Korean style in my opinion. Love the drinks as well. My fave is the grapes squash. During this CNY they also have a Lohei menu that is very generous with the abalone portions.
Ivy Eyu
Loved the entire experience with great service! The restaurant has a chic, trendy Chinese-style interior, creating a lively and modern atmosphere. The charcoal BBQ meats were tasty and grilled perfectly, complemented by refreshing kimchi ...
