"Double Roast Fried Rice Combo . A Must Try! This place serves a seriously delicious fried rice combo topped with juicy roast duck and your choice of BBQ pork or crispy pork. We also tried the deep-fried soft shell crab. crispy on the outside, soft inside, and full of flavor. Just a heads up, this spot is more for takeaway. There are only two small tables if you want to eat in, but for some of their dishes. it’s actually better to enjoy them fresh on the spot"

"One of the best Chinese takeaways my partner and I have had so far. We have been coming and trying different dishes and they always win us over. My partner and I have big appetites yet we think one dish is good for two people. The serving is really big and the food is delicious. I highly recommend the roast pork on fried rice and the roast duck."

"Having grown up in Hong Kong, I often crave HK food, and JC Roast has been my go-to spot for takeout Chinese food. I’ve been happy with their roast meat as well, but I had to write a review about their Singaporean Fried Noodles. This was the best I’ve ever had, with the perfect amount of wok hei and curry seasoning. The noodle portions are so generous too, enough for two meals… except the Singaporean Fried Noodles I had today were too good that I finished them all in one sitting. Definitely recommend!!"

"Standard for the roast duck has dropped. Used to have a strong favourful "Dang Gui" herbal taste but now that unique flavour is getting very mild. The duck used to be well defeathered but now you can see small feathers around the leg area."
