This Teochew restaurant was opened more than 60 years by the late father of current owner Koh Hoon Liang, 50. The old restaurant was in Wayang Street, which doesn't exist anymore but was near Merchant Road. Guan Hin moved to its current premises in 1972.
The cooking is kept consistent with the two main chefs, who are in their 50s and 60s, having worked there for more than 30 and 40 years respectively.
The look is typical of an old-fashioned HDB restaurant, with a glass front and the walls covered with Chinese paintings. Two square pillars in the middle of the dining room are covered in mirrors.
