Yhingthai Palace

A long-running Purvis Street Thai restaurant with a polished take on classic royal Thai dishes.

Yhingthai Palace is a longstanding Thai restaurant on Purvis Street, known for a more composed style of Thai cooking and a comfortable dining room suited to family meals, business lunches and dinners with visiting guests. The menu covers familiar favourites such as tom yum, green curry, pandan chicken and seafood dishes, alongside more elaborate preparations that show the restaurant's traditional leanings. Compared with casual Thai eateries, the experience is steadier and more service-led, with a slightly formal feel. It remains a reliable address for diners who want classic Thai flavours without a rowdy setting.

THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

Yhingthai Palace is not chasing novelty, and that is part of its appeal. The cooking is measured, the service is more polished than most casual Thai spots, and the Purvis Street location makes it easy for central meals. It is best for diners who want familiar Thai food done neatly rather than a high-chilli regional deep dive. The trade-off is that adventurous diners may find the menu conservative, but for dependable classic Thai in a proper restaurant setting, it still holds its ground.

WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG

Its longevity, central location and refined handling of classic Thai dishes make it one of Singapore's most dependable names for a sit-down Thai meal.
