Yu Xiang Jiu Jia (豫湘酒家) is a Chinese restaurant at 593 Geylang Road in Singapore's Geylang district, its name pairing the provincial characters for Henan and Hunan, and it holds a 4.6 Google rating.
Geylang Road is one of Singapore's most competitive eating strips, where a restaurant lives or dies by its regulars. Good Chinese kitchens here cook to order in a roaring wok and send dishes out as they're ready, family-style, for sharing across the table. Regional style matters: Hunan-influenced cooking builds its heat from fresh and pickled chillies rather than the numbing peppercorns of Sichuan, so it pays to ask how fierce a dish runs before you order. Regulars order plenty of plain rice, choose a few signatures rather than the whole menu, and lean on the specials board.
Set among the shophouses of Geylang Road, Yu Xiang Jiu Jia gives this famously hungry street another well-rated table.
