Chopsuey Cafe Dempsey Hill opened in 2013 as part of the PS.Cafe group, offering Anglo-Chinese fare served with the signature PS.Cafe ambience and hospitality. The concept is inspired by the comforting Chinese dishes found in Chinese restaurants across Europe, America and beyond - described by the cafe as a love letter to the memories of living abroad and craving Chinese cuisine. Expect flavourful, classic Chinese dishes given unique modern twists, on a menu the cafe describes as bold, nostalgic and lightly playful.
The setting is a relaxed, lush colonial garden at Dempsey Hill, with both indoor and outdoor dining spaces available. Alongside its all-day menu, the cafe keeps a dedicated wine list and Pét-Nat list, and offers a Dimsum-only service window each afternoon.
Reservations can be made online or through the cafe's concierge line, which also handles WhatsApp enquiries, and Chopsuey Cafe is also available for delivery through Grabfood and Foodpanda.
Tucked into the greenery of Dempsey Hill, Chopsuey Cafe has been part of the PS.Cafe group's Singapore lineup since it opened in 2013. Rather than a straightforward Chinese restaurant, Chopsuey Cafe leans into a very specific idea: the comforting, slightly nostalgic Chinese food found in Chinese restaurants across Europe, America and beyond - the kind of dish that shows up on menus far from China itself, shaped by decades of diaspora cooking. The cafe describes the concept as a love letter to the memories of living abroad and craving Chinese cuisine, and it shows in a menu the team calls bold, nostalgic and lightly playful.
What sets Chopsuey Cafe apart from a typical restaurant space is where it sits. The cafe occupies a relaxed, lush colonial garden setting at Dempsey Hill, with both indoor and outdoor dining areas on offer - very much in keeping with the wider PS.Cafe brand's reputation for garden and greenery-filled spaces. It's the kind of setting that suits a long lunch or an unhurried dinner as much as it suits the food itself.
Among the dishes the cafe highlights are Crispy Duck Pow! Pockets, Singapore Chilli Soft Shell Crab, and a Salted Caramel Giant Profiterole for dessert - a spread that captures the Anglo-Chinese approach well, mixing familiar Chinese flavours and techniques with playful presentation and a dessert menu that leans into Western comfort. The full range sits on Chopsuey Cafe's all-day menu, available daily from 11am, alongside a dedicated wine list and a separate Pét-Nat list for those after something a little different by the glass or bottle.
One detail worth knowing before you go: from 4pm to 6pm daily, only Dimsum is available, so anyone hoping for the full all-day menu should plan their visit either side of that window, while dimsum fans can use it as a dedicated afternoon session.
Chopsuey Cafe runs slightly different hours depending on the day. From Sunday through Thursday, and on public holidays, it's open from 11am to 11pm, with last orders at 9.30pm. On Friday, Saturday, and the eve of public holidays, the cafe stays open a little later, until 11.30pm, though last orders remain at 9.30pm. If the eve of a public holiday happens to fall on a Saturday or Sunday, the hours simply follow the regular Saturday schedule for that day.
Reservations can be made online through the cafe's booking system, or by contacting the concierge directly by phone or WhatsApp at +65 6708 9288, with the concierge line operating from 10am to 10pm daily. For those not dining in, Chopsuey Cafe is also available for delivery through both Grabfood and Foodpanda.
Chopsuey Cafe sits within the broader PS.Cafe group, which operates a number of cafes and restaurants across Singapore and Shanghai, along with concepts like Jypsy and Decker Barbecue. That connection shows up in small ways - shared concierge and reservation systems, a shared Instagram presence at @pscafe, and the same emphasis on hospitality and considered spaces that runs through the wider group. For visitors already familiar with PS.Cafe's other locations, Chopsuey Cafe offers a distinct, Chinese-leaning take on that same sensibility, built specifically around the idea of Chinese comfort food as remembered from abroad.
Whether it's a relaxed lunch under the garden greenery, an afternoon dimsum session, or dinner with a glass from the Pét-Nat list, Chopsuey Cafe Dempsey Hill positions itself as a spot for lingering rather than rushing - fitting, given its setting and its food's own nostalgic roots.
