Yumen Hut operates as a halal-certified Chinese restaurant strategically located at 1 Pasir Ris Close, #02-323 E!Avenue@Downtown East, Singapore 519599, within the popular Downtown East entertainment and shopping complex in Pasir Ris. This establishment has carved out a distinctive niche by specializing in "Halal-Chinese" cuisine, with their homely ban mian (Chinese hand-pulled noodles) serving as the restaurant's signature offering that attracts both local residents and visitors to the Downtown East area.

Operating Monday and Tuesday from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM (with varying hours throughout the week), the restaurant serves meals at approximately 0 per person, positioning itself in the mid-range dining category that balances quality with affordability.

Very reasonable prices for special noodles made from carrots, spinach, pumpkin, paprika. With prices like $4.50/$5.50 (now $6.80 etc. due to price increases as of 2024), the side dishes ($3.80) seem to be frozen and not so good. The sauces and coffee ($1.20) come in as instant and are really bad. For the price you pay, there's nothing to shout about or complain about. Taste-wise, it's not good for Muslim Chinese food. Will not visit if possible.

I would like to provide honest feedback about Yumen Hut. I usually don't write bad reviews, but the food served was atrocious. I ordered a bowl of laksa, and firstly, the presentation was off. The soup was very diluted, with three hard tau pok, two prawns, and two small pieces of chicken. My partner had curry noodles with chicken wings that were hard to eat, and lots of curry leaves floating around. What is this?! Your staff doesn't even seem to care about what you sell. We ended up having McDonald's afterwards. This experience left a totally bad impression of the mall. There's no effort in your recipes at all. Please take your business seriously.

I would say it is a relatively cheap option found in Downtown East. There is a variety of noodles and soup bases to choose from. We chose Tom Yum with pumpkin noodles and Seafood soup with carrot noodles. However, the taste was really so-so. Once is enough :)

Air-conditioned place. Aaaand, that's the last good thing about this eatery.
Laksa noodle was suppo
The place is air-conditioned. And that's about the only good thing about this eatery.
The Laksa, which was recommended, came tasteless and without fragrance, costing $7.50. I ordered from the shop manager, who did not acknowledge my order and only pointed to her QR payment.

First time here, my wife was fascinated by the photos and the different variety. After we ordered, she shared with me a mix of Google reviews – some good, some bad, with an average of only 2.7 stars from over a hundred reviews. Some praised its economic pricing compared to other restaurants here in Downtown E!.
I've given a 3-star rating because, to be fair, ratings vary from individual to individual. Some prefer tasty or heavier seasoning, while others prefer lighter.
Their seafood Yi mee - 6.5/10, with some decent taste but the prawns were a bit small.
Otah - 8/10, a must-try.
Spinach mee dumpling - 2/10, completely off expectation. I think they should indicate seasoning or flavoring to manage patrons' expectations.
Curry chicken noodle - 5/10, spicy yet not enough curry flavor.
I may return just for the otah to dabao for my parents to try.

There are different choices of noodles served here, and you can choose how you want them prepared. The ingredients are fresh and healthy. The Otah is also recommended as it's thick and tasty, unlike conventional Otah. The price is very reasonable, and there's no service charge or GST. The estimated price for two people is only around $12. I've already visited more than once.

Quite shocked to see the low reviews for this place. My wife and I have been eating here for the past few years and can assure you there hasn't been any drop in food standards. The food tastes just as it always has, although it may not appeal to everyone's palate.
We recently dined here on a Wednesday night, and although there were quite a number of patrons, food service was fast, and we encountered no issues with the food or the staff.
