The restaurant was incredibly clean, and many of the side dishes were freshly made by the owner, which made them feel very fresh. I ordered the pork set and added beef brisket, and I had such a great time. The kimchi stew and steamed egg, in particular, reminded me of authentic flavors from Korea, and it had been a while since I enjoyed that original taste. The meal felt like a healing experience, and the drinks just went down so smoothly because of it. What I loved the most was how beautifully the dishes were presented—it really made me feel like I was being treated to something special. Overall, it was an amazing experience, both in terms of food and atmosphere, and very much worth coming.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Highly Recommend! This place is an absolute gem! The Korean BBQ here is outstanding – every cut of meat was so fresh and flavorful, and the grilling experience was top-notch. As Korean, I’d say the quality of the meats(Both Pork &beef) is great even compared to the restaurants in Tanjong Pagar as well as the ones in But I must also highlight their Galbi Tang – it’s honestly one of the best I’ve ever had in Singapore! The broth was rich and comforting, with gigantic and tender beef that melts in the mouth. It’s hard to find this kind of Galbi Tang even in Korea. To top it all off, the service was impeccable. The chef, Suho answered new manager, Jay are Korean and they went above and beyond to make sure our experience was perfect, checking in with us and offering recommendations that made our meal even better. Highly recommend this spot to anyone craving authentic Korean flavors with amazing hospitality!

Value for money set lunch in the Joo Chiat area. A good spread of banchan (6 items) and generous portions of fish. Will be back again.

I and my husband visited on the Saturday night for dinner. Meat was fresh and side dishes were great. However, I felt that they really need to look into their service. I made 8PM booking and waited since 7.45PM. Staff called me when my table was ready. Bur when I went back to the restaurant (it was just within a minute since I got a call) and my table was given to others and we were informed to wait abit more. Our order was totally mixed up because of some issues that I understood it is partially out of their control. So we ended up waited for our meat around 30minutes (you can imagine waiting for 30minutes for uncook meat to be serve) since we ordered and many times of "order correction" and "asking for things" like beer that we order 20 minutes ago, bottle opener, rice that supposed to come with the soup, lettuce that supposed to come with meat, many more erc. Later part, the service staff came with 2 bottles of beer for service recovery which I appreciate. The staffs were all hard working and tried their best to cover the busy operation as much as they could. So there are 2 things I would like to highlight, first, need to look into the way controlling the waiting line during busy period. For people without reservation, you may want to put the waiting list paper out for them to write things down and standby on the call. Second, standardise the bbq service. If the staff is busy to cook the meat the whole time, you can let the customer know to continue cooking it rather than just put things down, walk away, and never come back. As a Korean, I was very happy for the new decent Korean restaurant at Katong area but I will have to see if I will visit again. Because for me, no matter how good the food is, I should feel pleasant being there.

The pork we ordered is really good without the unnecessary smell! The free side dishes are authentic and there are some special items which we don’t get from normal Korean restaurants. The staffs are very polite and they helped us with all the bbq patiently! I can say this restaurant is very sincere and serious to do well though they just opened here for a few months! I strongly recommend to try out this place and I’m sure everyone will like it!

We were here early for dinner at 5.30pm. Not crowded on a Sunday. Unusual bbq technique. The charcoal and bbq plate were prepared in the kitchen and set up at one end of the table. Charcoal fire and cook to perfection. Totally enjoy our meals here. A ‘old’ school kind of vibe here. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Highly recommended to try 👍

We ordered set of few different beef for bbq. The bulky exhaust system, pot filled with charcoal are an eye opener to us and they are removed when bbq is done, make the table near and spacious. The bbq is carried out by the staff, a Korean lady is friendly, she recommended an unique vegetable side dish that is difficult to get in local, I like it. This is so far the best Korean food I reckon. We will dine in again in the future when we crave for Korean cuisine.

Just found my go-to KBBQ restaurant at katong!!! 🤩 For KBBQ, we ordered the marinated pork and it was so tender and flavourful! We also got the kimchi fried rice and mini kimchi stew. Very filling for 2 pax!! There were side dishes provided as well. Staff was really friendly and helpful as well. They helped to cook the meat for us so we didn’t have to do much but talk and eat 😬 The side dishes and food tasted so authentic, then I realised the chef himself is korean 👍🎉

Korean lady (not sure if she is the boss) was so deliberate to ensure the mushroom and meat were grilled to perfection. She did the barbecue throughout our dinner.

First time trying - definitely won't be the last! Food is excellent, side dishes really good (better than most) and service very friendly and attentive. Meat was delicious and very well cooked - particularly liked the beef rib. Waaaaay better than you think a mall restaurant should be!

I like their attentiveness to details especially on the doneness of beef. The rice cake is also very authentic and they even customised non spicy rameon for my children.

Fuss-free Korean BBQ where they did the cooking inside kitchen and serve to you in a mini heating cast-iron stove. Good for business lunch where everyone can have their individual set of food.
