Xi Yan (囍宴), meaning “Joyous Banquet”, celebrates modern Chinese and Hakka cuisine through heritage, creativity and togetherness. Founded in Hong Kong in 2000 by celebrated chef and designer Jacky Yu (余健志), Xi Yan emerged as a pioneer of Hong Kong’s private dining movement. In 2005, Xi Yan brought this philosophy to Singapore, beginning humbly as an intimate private dining venue at Craig Road. It introduced diners to a distinctive expression of Chinese cuisine that respected tradition while embracing contemporary ideas and unexpected flavours.

​

At the heart of our culinary philosophy is a deep respect for heritage. Our Hakka dishes are rooted in family tradition, lovingly passed down through generations by our grandmothers. These time-honored recipes, rich in flavor and history, bring authenticity and soul to our menu—bridging the past and present in every bite.

​

More than two decades on, Xi Yan continues to bridge tradition and modernity. From comforting favourites, new dishes and intimate private dining experiences, every dish is created with character and soul. Whether gathering with family, friends or business associates, Xi Yan is a place to connect, celebrate and create lasting memories around the table.

 

At Xi Yan, every gathering is a feast, and every feast is a celebration.
