The one and only original chicken pie, baked by us since 1983. It tastes exactly as you remember it. We dare you to compare.
The original chicken pie taste is back.
43 years in the making. Every dish is prepared fresh, every pastry is baked in-house at our restaurant, and every dish is still checked by our kitchen team before it leaves the pass.
They say a recipe stands the test of time only if it keeps up with the tastes of the time.
It has been quite an adventure for the DonChef kitchen team: from our shops at Far East Square on China Street and at China Square in the early 2000s, to a coffeeshop stall at 206 Toa Payoh North from 2014, to a very, very painful partnership at an industrial canteen at 1008A Toa Payoh North in 2019. Today our flagship dine-in restaurant is at 39 Tyrwhitt Road, Singapore 207538.
We also run takeaway kiosks at Wisma Atria, AMK Hub, White Sands and Tiong Bahru Plaza.
Taste the difference: every dish is lovingly handmade with quality ingredients.
All our chicken pies are made in small batches throughout the day, for the freshest possible bakes. Our crab dishes use thoroughly cleaned Sri Lankan mud crabs, delivered to us daily, and we promise only the freshest prawns and seafood.
We invite you to taste the difference for yourself.
Even better than when DON Your Personal Pie Club was at China Square in the 2000s.
First cooked for the family; we started selling them because so many people asked.
Rich American-style cheesecake, made with Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese.
Baked layer by layer, by hand, in our restaurant. Not imported from a neighbouring country.
All the juicy seafood goodness, without cracking any shells.
Loaded generously with nuts and fruit. Best paired with an aged whisky.
Chicken pies, crabs, seafood and cakes: even better tasting than they look.
DonChef has always believed that his bakes and dishes should, first and foremost, be incredible value. We aim to overdeliver on that promise; for now, we'll let the photos do the talking.
Every dish handmade with quality ingredients.
Now even better than when our team was in China Square in the 2000s!
Initially created as a dish for family, we started selling this due to high demand.

The broth was incredibly delicious. I dine in twice and once to take away a chicken pie (the pie kept warm wonderfully; it was still hot an hour later – I took it outside Jinsha to tide me over while waiting for the night view). The shrimp and scallops were also excellent (both had three shrimp, and they weren't small). The wall next to the restaurant features murals that reflect the restaurant's unique atmosphere.
I come by recommendation, the shepherd pie was the best one I had in my life. Regretted that I ordered a single person portion which cost around $6.60 (think so). Should have ordered the whole portion $33+++ (sorry can't remember the exact amount)
But 4 of us ordered the large crab 🦀 bee hoon laksa ($78++) and it was delicious 😋. It's not to spicy for me, and the bee hoon was soak to perfection in the laksa. Best of it is the crab is fresh.
100% coming back for their shepherd pie and also their chicken pie.
Finally — a pet café where my furson actually finishes his food. That alone deserves 5 stars 🐾
Humans are very well fed too — the crab (chor) bee hoon soup is rich and comforting, with meaty crab, while the lala & prawn (you) bee hoon is spicy, flavourful, and my personal favourite (the prawns are big and juicy).
Quality ingredients, proper air-conditioned dining for furkids, and even gold-plated cutlery for us — talk about dining in style. Come for the food, stay for the vibes. Fursons approved 🐶✨
Tried this place for the first time and was really pleasantly surprised! The crab bee hoon was very tasty. Soup was thick and flavourful. Crab was fresh and meaty.
Cheese cake was nice also. The service is good, they ensured our water was refilled constantly. Will visit again if I have crab craving again.
The food taste is original umami flavour. My gf like it a lot. The drink recommended was special.
Im so happy with the service and reception here. They received us so warmly with my maltipoo and the food is sooooo good. And the prices are reasonable! Most pet friendly places are so overpriced, MINUS the aircon environment mind you! This will be my new favourite place to dine with my furkid now on! Thank u team, love your friendly and warm attitudes, especially towards my fur-baby ❤️
A great place, history & food. My dad used to buy chicken pie from Don’s very frequently, when I was younger. Have never been able to find another chicken pie that could rival Don’s. Love this place so much & love their food!!! Oh & they’re pet friendly as well.
We ordered Lala & Prawns Bee Hoon and loved it lots! Lala & Prawns were XL in size and very fresh (seldom come across places that serve fresh prawns these days). Don’t think you can find this soup taste elsewhere. Will be back to try the other dishes. 😋 Staff were friendly and helpful too. 👍🏻
Dog friendly place, do reserve early as they only have two tables which allows dogs. Don pie still taste the same after so many years. The seafood soup is a must try, very flavourful and the added herbs go well!
Very worth it for the price for the prawn noodle
Pet friendly but must be leashed.

Love the broth of the crab bee hoon ...yummy🥰...the prawn bee hoon ..another star on its own!
I have eaten Don's pies since I was a kid when my parents would by for me. I am glad Don has reopened his own place and brought back the ORIGINAL standard that I tasted 20 years ago. The pastry is fragrant, the chicken chunks are well present. Over the years, the taste from other outlets changed and degraded, but now eating the pie from his own shop now in 2022 brings back memories.
XXL Crab bee hoon is a MUST!
Laksa is heavenly creamy and umami!
Druken shrimp is very unique!
All must try, including the chicken pie!
Been enjoying Don’s chicken pie for a long time, first time trying his crab bee hoon. I can only say it’s a wonderful rendition of the dish, not too ‘gelat’ and the portion is just nice for two. Have to add the chilli is perfect. Will definitely be back for more pies and crab.
A very delightful serving of white beehoon with the tasty broth and chunks of prawns and lala at a very affordable and more than reasonable price! The chicken pies (and Shepherd) are great as well, so much ingredients inside that give you satisfaction to every mouth and cut of the pie.
Try it and you will love it!
Ps. This review was at the new outlet. They have moved to the new location at 39 Tyrwhitt Road.
Really rich and umami broth! The portion was HUGE with an abundance of ingredients. The one pax serving fed 2 adults well. Chicken pie was yummy. I liked the chic decor as well.
Top notch laksa, crab beehoon, cheesecake, and of course pie at this cosy pet-friendly eatery. Will definitely be returning and trying more of the menu.
Amazing taste and quality of the dishes. I ordered the black pepper chicken pie as well as the crab bee hoon. The crabs were so fresh and the soup was extremely delicious! Perfect for a rainy day!
The black pepper chicken pie crust was soft but crispy, the filling portions were generous and really good!
Parking was very convenient as well with the stadium nearby, you get hundreds of lots just a quick walk away.
I highly recommend the place! I'm going to try the la la next!
