China's massive grilled fish chain with 1,500+ stores, now serving Sichuan-style grilled fish in Singapore.
BANTIANYAO Grilled Fish, or Ban Tian Yao Kao Yu, is a grilled fish specialist that has taken China by storm with over 1,500 outlets, and it has now brought its signature concept to Singapore.The brand focuses on a single specialty -- whole fish grilled to order and served in a bubbling broth of Sichuan spices and aromatics -- a deceptively simple concept executed with the precision and bold flavours that have made it a sensation across mainland China.
Diners choose their fish -- typically sea bass or tilapia -- and their preferred broth flavour, from classic Sichuan mala to garlic, pickled vegetable, or tomato bases. The fish arrives sizzling in a wide metal pan, surrounded by tofu, lotus root, enoki mushrooms, and other ingredients that soak up the intensely flavoured broth. It is a communal, interactive dining experience designed for sharing. For a taste of one of China's most popular dining concepts, BANTIANYAO delivers bold, fiery flavours that are impossible to forget. Bring friends, order a fish, and dive in.

Honestly idk why people are saying the food here is fantastic, it tasted very average and also very oily. Came here to try since there is 50% off during weekdays which the whole store has only few customers dining. $2 for free flow rice, snacks, drinks, and fruits but only watermelon is available with uneven and small cuts, didn't see any snacks as well. I also noticed a man walking back and forth kept looking at our table which I assume is the boss, the way he observes the customers table makes us feel a little uncomfortable like we're consistently being monitored for whatever reason. if you don't believe what I say, you can try the grilled fish located at Westgate Food Junction. the soup has stronger umami taste, trust me it won't go wrong!

Tried the garlic flavour and spicy numbing grilled fish during their promo. Both tasted decent and flavourful, and the portions were pretty huge. There were also free flow sides, drinks and ice cream. The downside was that we only found out that the promo was only applicable to 1 fish per table when we made payment. The staff did not inform us when we ordered, nor was it stated on their promo banner. Hence, we felt scammed and misled. Also, the staff said that if the promo was applicable to all, then they won't be able to cover their rent, which I felt was not very nice and unnecessary.

I recently visited **半天妖烤鱼 (BANTIANYAO Grilled Fish)** and was thoroughly impressed! The fish was fresh, tender, and packed with flavor—perfectly grilled with a deliciously spicy (or non-spicy, if preferred) sauce. The side dishes were also great, especially the tofu and vegetables, which complemented the meal well. The service was friendly and efficient, and the restaurant had a clean, welcoming atmosphere. The value for money is excellent, considering the generous portions and high-quality.

Super worth it! My family enjoyed the grilled fish very much. Ordered the green pepper version + pickled version, both tasted great. Price is extremely affordable as well. Will be back :)

Our go-to place for grilled fish in the west. Good value for money, both the mala and green peppercorn flavours are great. Service is consistently good, hope they open more branches!
