I would rate it clean and above average standard. It is a shop-house-type restuarant. Of course cannot expect up-market restuarants in nice shopping centres/hotels la and the waiters don't wear suites.

It is probably a good blend of nice dim sum with comfortable envirnoment.

You can see ang-mos/hong kongers eating there too in the morning. I would bring my foreign guests there too for nice, local environment, inexpensive dim sum.

I don't know if they have private room. They are 2 shop-houses combined to 1. Maybe have upstair though I never asked. I always just sit in the aircon section insde the shop in my bermudas if with family breakfast. This way, you can 'feel' the dim-sum eating environment.

As said, please do not expect 5-star hotel (or 4-star, or 3-star) service then you won't be disappointed. It is like those mid-class Hong Kong style la. But food is worth it.
 
Swee Choon Tim Sum Restaurant
Tel: (+65) 6294 5292
Location: 191 Jalan Besar, Singapore
Operating Hours: 5.00pm to 10.00am

Traditional restaurant though but good and cheap tim sum.
 
Royal China (Raffles) - Good Standard, high price, variety wise not alot.
Taste Paradise (ION) - Good Standard, high price, fusion creation dim sum like foie gras xiaolongbao
Boss (Vivo) - nice deco, good price, good presentation, constant and good standard
Hai Tien Lo (Pan Pac) - expensive and very quiet, nice view, food is good.
Old Hong Kong (Novena) - Pretty good, small and crowded, but some of the dim sum not very nice.
Wah Lok (Carlton) - Good food good pricing, not crowded.
Wah Ting (orchard) - above average food for high reputation, still good but not impressive.

Buffet
Jing (One Fullerton) - award winning chef, good place if you eat a lot, above average standard.
Jade (Fullerton) - similar to jing except it is pure dimsum, price cheaper by $10 but need around 2 months of booking.

Crystal Jade can forget it, too many branches cannot keep up with standard, mostly central kitchen except the Gold Palace, but the tables are very near to each others.

Imperial Treasure still ok, manage to maintain for the Ngee Ann outlet.

Hai Du Victoria peak (Orchard Central) - worst then the main one in HK, nothing fantastic.

I-Canton (ION) - gives a false impression that it is from HK but it is actually from Malaysia. Ugly Deco, over-priced average quality food. walk over to Taste Paradise which is just a few units away.

Victor's kitchen (sunshine) - cheap and good dimsum, it is a small eatery but can be very crowded.

still a few more but either they are not worth the high price or they cannot impress me.

nice list.

so far i would rate royal china as one of the best, but the variety is really limited and most of them are typical dimsum. if you want something new, taste paradise ion is one of the best (only ion outlet, mosque street outlet do not serve dimsum, but plan to do so after they move to marina sand).

boss at vivo is my favourite, and if you are not particular about dinning hour, weekday afternoon they have a 30% discount.

jade's queue is too long for me, rather pay $10 to pop over to jing. they have alot of other dishes other then dimsum, including chilli crab and fried soon hock which makes the extra $10 worth it.

you must be kidding...that place is open by 1 of the 4 heavenly king(long ago) and the food is average, nothing fantastic. It is crowded because of the pricing but i would rather go to victor's kitchen if i am at my least expectation. Those who hang out there are not hongkies, just some old generation locals.

but it is still a better choice compare to yum cha or 幸福饮茶.
