Long Phung Near Me
Searching for a long phung near me? There are two Long Phung outlets in Singapore: the original on Joo Chiat Road in the east, and a second outlet on New Bridge Road in Chinatown, opened in early 2023. Both serve the same full Vietnamese menu at the same prices, with no GST and no service charge. Below are both addresses, hours, phone numbers and how to get to each one, verified October 2026.
Where are the Long Phung outlets?
Two outlets, one in the east and one in the centre. The Joo Chiat original is the famous one, the shophouse restaurant Vietnamese locals queue for. The Chinatown outlet opened in early 2023 (announced on the restaurant’s Facebook page on 29 January 2023) and gives the city-centre crowd the same menu without the cross-island trip.
| Outlet | Address & Contact | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Long Phung Joo Chiat (original) | 159 Joo Chiat Road, Singapore 427436 Tel: +65 6440 6959 |
12pm – 10:30pm daily (Thu – Fri to 10pm) |
| Long Phung Chinatown | 239/241 New Bridge Road, Singapore 059439 Tel: +65 6908 4398 |
11am – 10pm |
Both outlets are cash only, both charge no GST and no service charge, and both run the same menu. Prices per person run about $5 to $18. Hours can shift on public holidays, so if you are travelling far, a quick call ahead is worth it.
Joo Chiat: the original
The Joo Chiat outlet is the one every guide writes about: a corner shophouse on Joo Chiat Road with a public car park next door, A4 dish photos lining the walls, Vietnamese music playing, and a queue at peak hours. It is the full experience, cramped, lively, unpretentious, and the kitchen that built the reputation. If you are visiting Long Phung for the first time and the trip is manageable, this is the outlet to choose. The Chinatown branch is the convenience play; Joo Chiat is the pilgrimage.
Which Long Phung outlet should I go to?
Honest breakdown, because they are not identical experiences:
Go to Joo Chiat if: you want the original, you live in the east, you are making a food trip of it, or you want the full bustling atmosphere. The menu photos on the wall, the open-front shophouse, the crowd, this is the Long Phung people talk about. Parking is easy with the public car park next door.
Go to Chinatown if: you work or live centrally, you want the same food with a shorter trip, or you are combining it with a Chinatown outing. It opened in 2023, so the space is a little newer, and the New Bridge Road location is far easier to reach by MRT.
For delivery: let the app decide. GrabFood and foodpanda route you to whichever outlet is nearer and has riders available. The menu is the same either way.
Food quality is reported as consistent across both. The signature Pho Dac Biet ($11.90, March 2023) tastes like the signature at either address.
How do I get to Long Phung Joo Chiat?
Joo Chiat is not on an MRT line, so plan the last stretch:
By MRT: Eunos MRT (EW7) is the nearest station, about a 12-minute walk from Exit B. It is a straightforward walk down the main roads, and the shophouse stretch is well signposted.
By bus: Bus 33 stops practically at the door, bus stop B82151 is about a 1-minute walk. Buses 13 and 15 also serve the Joo Chiat area from town.
By car: There is a public car park right next to the restaurant at the junction area near Joo Chiat Terrace, plus parallel parking along Joo Chiat Road itself. Weekend evenings fill up, so arrive a little early or be ready to circle once.
By taxi or ride-hail: Drop the pin at 159 Joo Chiat Road. Drivers know the stretch; ask for the Vietnamese restaurant with the queue if they look confused.
For the Chinatown outlet at 239/241 New Bridge Road, you are in the heart of Chinatown with abundant MRT, bus and parking options around. It is the easier outlet to reach from most of the island.
When should I go to avoid the queue?
The Joo Chiat queue is part of the lore, but it is avoidable. Lunch (12pm to 2pm) and dinner (6:30pm to 8:30pm) are the crunch times, and diners report 15-minute waits at 2pm on busy days. The sweet spots are 3pm to 5pm, when the lunch crowd has cleared and the dinner crowd has not arrived, and after 8:30pm for a late dinner. The restaurant stays open till 10pm or 10:30pm, so late works.
Weekdays beat weekends at both outlets. If you must go at peak hour, put your name down and take a walk, the Joo Chiat stretch has plenty to look at, from the colourful shophouses to the kueh shops. And remember: cash only, so sort that before you join the line.
