Newly opened along Serangoon Road, friend recommended. So opening hours not accurate, forgiven, up to a point. Waited. Picture shows no lights at 11.30, stated opening time. 11.45 a staff finally opened. I walked in and she asked who am I looking for!? I replied can I order food? No. Today we open at ... 5pm! I can forgive 12, even 1pm. Not ... 5pm! If you're not serving lunch for the day, couldja at least put up a sign? Since that was a no, and the staff had zero customer skills, here's your one star rating. Be happy to increase it when I actually get food instead of get turned away hungry. Advice to anyone wanting to go. For now, call first to make sure they're open! High time I came back for a fair review! FYI did not contact owner so as to give a fair take. Arrived just after 11.30, so the only customer. Eight round tables for up to four pax, two long tables that could squeeze up to six, and one table for two. Nice wall decorations. Nice sides and cold green tea as complimentary. And how sweet; a Lotte ice cream to end off! Ordered the chicken hotplate. Yummy. Onions and carrots nicely soft. So for maybe 50% more than what you would pay at a food court you get much better quality and quantity, plus the sides, plus the green tea, plus the ice cream. Add in the decor and the Korean music it's easy to imagine that you are in a small diner in Seoul. I count 33 items on their menu! Some of course, are more premium and or sharing options. Including dishes I've not seen before, like abalone congee and hangover soup! Lots to try on the next visit! Quite possibly the best chill spot in Boon Keng.

Look at the like this review get, u will know it’s true. I usually don’t bother write reviews but this standard I simply cannot accept. Army stew was bad, fish cake, hotdog and noodle. It’s a shame to call it army stew. You Can cook Nong shim yourself and add some stuff in will taste better over this. We left 70% of it behind. Fried chicken there is taste on the skin but the meat inside is tasteless. Zero taste. U go buy cp chicken will be better. The steam egg is overcooked for our taste, maybe it’s suppose to be like this. Got burn bitter taste. Even my non fussy kid requests not to eat after 1 mouth. If you have no choice to come here please order their bbq meat and skip the army stew, soups and sides. I think the good reviews are for the meat. For $88.88 there are much better choices. We were forcing ourself to eat so not to waste money which we regretted after. To be fair the staff are good. Can see they try their best to serve you. Kudos to that. Free ice cream. Update: thank you to the owner for the reply but we decline. The food is really too far from anyone’s expectations and no amount of any offering will change that. Maybe you can look into re training your staff or reduce menu items if they can’t cope. Ps: I don’t write reviews when I encounter bad food. You can see my profile, as I totally understand today’s landscape of fnb, it’s not easy. But what was serve to us today is really something we cannot accept. Good day

So happy they opened an outlet for neighbourhood folks like us! Love the decor and the vibes as they play kpop music and MVs. I’m surprised there’s actually a lot of seating, and many tables can accommodate BBQ. However, note that it does not have the overhead hood, so you may smell like BBQ afterwards. But at least you can put your bags inside the seat. The tables are also quite small, so 4 pax may find it a bit of a squeeze along the walls, but otherwise very cosy and got vibes. Food was tasty. Tried the Pork belly kimchi platter. I thought it was pre-bbqed but they actually serve you the platter on the grill instead of in a plate, so I guess it’s pre-arranged? Really impressed by the seafood tofu soup/sundubu — there was a whole portion of soft shell crab inside! Very tasty and warming. And the price is acceptable for the soup, but the pork belly + kimchi was $28. The sundubu already comes with rice, so watch the portion! But the service and the freebies are exceptional! There’s 6 types of banchan (not sure if free flow), ice water and even free ice cream you can help yourself to. And they serve the banchan immediately so you don’t have to wait for anyone. Ordering is also via a QR code, which makes it very fuss free but comprehensive as they still provide a physical menu. Overall, nice to have something like this in the neighbourhood. Wishing them good business, will come back to try other parts of the menu.

Was looking forward to nice dinner, yet was utterly disappointed with everything. I am doing my best to give a balanced review and not review bomb due to my negative experience.

1st: Non-existent Queue System There were 2 different types of tables - BBQ table and non-BBQ table. That was the only question that the staff would ask when people gathered outside. Yet there was no effort to put in a workable queue be it digital or physical. The tanjong pagar outlet appeared to have similar...

It was a very disappointing experience dining at this place.

From the get go, the queue could have been better managed by having a simple Q-pole or signs to indicate where the start/end of the line is. But currently everyone just stands everywhere and the poor staff have to manage both the food and the line, and often they don’t even know how the line works.

The food was okay, nothing fantastic - we had bbq and the uncooked meat itself took around 40 minutes to arrive. Not sure why we...

Came here cause I heard of a new Korean restaurant in the hood. Had very high expectations as the decorations were on point. I felt like that’s probably one of the few saving graces.

  • the appetisers were nice. A good selection
  • the free drink was really cold so that’s nice
  • seafood was fresh

Now the minuses…

  • I shall gloss over the queueing system as that is a teething problem
  • we waited over an hour for our food. And it was only after an hour were we informed that the jajangmyeon...
