Award-winning Chinese restaurant famous for herbal roast duck and traditional Chinese dishes at Marina Square.
Dian Xiao Er has earned a stellar reputation as one of Singapore's finest Chinese restaurants, and its Marina Square outlet continues to draw diners with its award-winning specialisation in Herbal Roast Duck. The kitchen's mastery of this signature dish is evident in every carefully prepared bird, which is roasted to golden perfection after being marinated with a blend of traditional Chinese herbs. Guests can choose from variations such as the Duck Roasted with Angelica Herb, fragrant with the earthy sweetness of dang gui, or the Duck Roasted with Ten Wonder Herbs, a more complex medley that infuses the meat with deep, restorative aromas. The result is duck skin that shatters delicately between the teeth, giving way to succulent flesh that carries the essence of the herbs without overwhelming the palate.Beyond the legendary duck, the menu presents a well-rounded selection of Cantonese and Chinese favourites designed for communal dining. The Roasted Iberico Char Siew offers a premium twist on the classic barbecued pork, with melt-in-the-mouth fat and a lacquered, caramelised crust. The Hotplate Fiery Sambal Squid & Prawns delivers a sizzling spectacle and bold, spicy flavours that pair perfectly with steamed rice. For larger groups, set menus provide a curated progression of dishes that showcase the kitchen's range, from delicate soups and seafood to hearty meats and vegetables. The spacious Marina Square dining room accommodates family gatherings, corporate dinners and celebratory occasions with ease, and takeaway options are available through the restaurant's online ordering platform.
Dian Xiao Er at Marina Square is located at 6 Raffles Blvd, #02-200, Singapore 039594. Open daily from 11 am, with extended weekend hours until 10 pm. Telephone enquiries may be directed to 6337 1928.

Food was served quickly, and the staff at the Marina Square outlet were very friendly. I haven’t visited Dian Xiao Er in a while, so I’m really glad to see that they’ve maintained their high standards. I tried the Stir-Fried Prawns with Wild Garlic, and it was excellent. I’ll definitely be back again soon!

The duck was definitely the highlight here. Most of the food dishes were good. Service was a bit short as I had to give a few reminders for my drink. Overall was all good.

I come here at least once a month, always order the Angelica herb duck and the sambal assam squid. Tastes really good, service is also very quick and efficient. Environment is also clean and nice. Definitely recommend to come!

I always come back for the Dang Gui duck. They are ok with customisation too. Kids meal, no extra soy sauce and no corn are accommodated with no issues. No birthday song sung for birthdays.
