First time here, i enjoyed the food, service and the ambience. Thank you so much. Highly recommended to my friends and relatives.

The pork here is awesome—so flavorful and juicy! While the beef was good, the pork was definitely my favorite. Vanessa provided excellent service, making the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!

F. I.

Me and friend was greeted by vanessa, she serve us well and good our meat up to our liking! She's friendly and always making sure safety and our satisfaction comes first! Thank you vanessa!

Korean BBQ is by default a really nice and enjoyable meal so standards and expectations are high to begin with! Eight does change things up a little by offering you 8 different flavors of pork belly for you to choose from. If you have 4 or more people I'd recommend getting all eight flavors. The stew was great too and we were so so full by the end of the meal. No complaints about service either!

K. L.

Decent quality of Korean BBQ, Jeju-styled where they will put the beansprout and Kimchi veg on the hot plate together with the meats. Focus is on pork, with options for beef. Servers will help you with cooking the meats. Army stew was quite basic, with not much ingredients, but the sausage was the more premium kind. Alcohol is really expensive here, and water is chargeable. Was quite a good experience overall, but quite low on value for money. Higher pricing likely due to location, but a good choice if you’re nearby and craving some Korean BBQ.

S. K.

The 8 color set is definitely worth it. The pork was super tender and it melts in your mouth! The kimchi and bean sprouts are super yummy too! The service staff are fast and friendly. Constantly topping up the bean sprouts and kimchi. They cook and cut the bacon strips for you too. Kudos to them for a great time.

J. A.

Great food! Ordered 2 Pork Belly - the original and garlic, pork jowl and marinated beef. Everything's soooo good!! Get the barley tea! Great food and drink pair for K BBQ! Service was great! The lady was so kind, grilled the meats for us, even explaining the dishes. I've tried this bbq at another branch in JB and it was not this great! This branch is sooo much better!

P. T.

Vanessa and Klarisse were super attentive, nice and thoughtful. I truly love their service! I will definitely come back again! Their recommendations did not disappoint and we had a wonderful time dining there.

Y. A.

Comfiest place to do K BBQ! Not too smokey and not rowdy, super perfect for families. Props to Vanessa for taking care of our tables and preparing the grill for us. Both tables got the set menu, but must add the beef and spicy chicken.

J. C.

Thanks Glady and Vanessa for the awesome service although the place was packed and busy on a weekend. They put on a mask for hygiene but behind the mask, we can feel that they really had a genuine smile on their face while they were at our table be it serving our drinks or meat. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality! We will be back again

K. H.

Dined in with 4 of my friends and served by Vanessa! We had 3-4 person pork belly set, Korean steam egg, seafood stew with Green Apple Maekgolli! It was great service and she was attentive to our requests and top up the banchan and drinks! Good job and keep up the excellent service!

W. K. L.

Came here for a family dinner on a weekday night - the entire Shaw Center was pretty quiet and the restaurant itself was about 1/3 full. Service was quick and friendly, food is so-so, definitely had better. Their speciality is pork (we order the 8-flavor platter ) but it was the 1 beef dish that I personally liked best. The appetizers were fine. Not super impressed.

A. F.

Had a really good time here at this Korean BBQ. Food was great, service was excellent, shout out to Vanessa who served us. She explained to us the different cuts of the different meats... Ambience was fantastic as well! Will be back again very very soon!!!

E. T.

Pretty decent ambience. Good place for catch with friends and family while service bbq your order for you. Signature 8 Colours set is a good starter for first visit.

J. C. L.

<ö+ TasteMarked Reviews +ø> Ambience is good. Staffs are good. i like that its not too smokey. The food tase is good. Environment: 4/5 Waiting: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Service: 4/5 What I liked: - that its not smokey and smelly What I disliked: - price a bit in a high side...

C. C.

Mangalica pork was tender and fresh, no boar taint smell at all. Server was very kind to suggest taking 4 colours set instead of 8 as she thought it was too much food for our party of 4 pax (we were also ordering other sides). Able to refill the soup once for free. Banchans, Kimchi and Sprouts were all refillable. Pancake was so crispy on the edges - yummy! Fav flavours today : wine, Miso and kalbi Will be back to try other flavours!

R. E. T.

We ordered the flower bbq pork set and chose garlic and red pepper (gochujang) as the flavours for the two cuts of pork belly. The set also included pork jowl and pork neck. The grilling service was excellent, very neatly done with great presentation which made the dining experience very enjoyable. The restaurant and grilling plate were very well ventilated which was a pleasant surprise too, as we left not smelling of barbecue. The portion was just nice for us as the army stew that we ordered as part of the set was a good complement to the barbecue and the banchan. Would definitely recommend and will be back, probably with more people in the party so we can try more variety of the dishes.

J. C. L.

Ordered the 4 flavored samgyupsal - garlic, wine, gochujang and galbi. My personal favorites were garlic and wine. Food was pretty good, must try the meat with grilled kimchi! We also got the soondubu soup which was pretty bland. Restaurant was pretty packed, luckily we made a reservation beforehand. The server was pretty rude, she kept informing us that we only had 1.5hr to eat (we didn't exceed the time) and kept coming back to tell us repeatedly that we don't have much time (telling us how much time we have every 20 mins or so). I totally understand the time limit, but did not appreciate her rushing us during our meal especially since we still had quite a good amount of time left. We observed her for awhile and realised she was only telling this to our table, which was a bit strange. We ate quickly and left afterwards.

First time to the restaurant. Service is good and the staff do the grilling for you. The 8 pork belly set comes with stew and will feed more than the 3-4 pax it recommended on the menu. Didn’t ordered beef this time round but I’ll rather try other meat cut instead of the pork belly. The pork belly all tasted about the same after being cooked. So can’t see what’s the big deal about it. Chicken is big, juicy and tender too but not spicy enough. Seafood pancake is decent. The yuja rice wine is really good! Highly recommended.

s. L.

Overall 3 stars. Quite expensive and doesn't always deliver to the standard expected. 4 flavours pork belly tasted like the same and under-marinated. Beef Kalbi is good. Soup is ok and can be topped up if insufficient. Restaurant was undestaffed on the day we went. Wait staff Vanessa is warm, fast and on the ball. Others need to catch up.

L. U.

We love the pork!❤️ service from Vanessa and Glady was excelent. Get the flower pork set which include pork bbq four choice with the soup, we ordered Army stew! Perfect dinner. Keep it up!

L. C.

Great service by Vanessa. Throughout my meal there she has been non stop serving every table with a great smile. Top notch service by her. Great job Vanessa 👍🏻

K. L.

I would like to compliment a staff named vanessa. She is very proactive and friendly. Keep it up vanessa!

M. C.

Food and service is good. Just need to focus on eating as the staff will doing the cooking. There is a 90mins time limit which usually is enough.

J. S.

Got the 4 Colours set and it was pretty good! (Original, wine, miso, kalbi flavor). Lots of bean sprouts and kimchi that they cook with the oils from the pork for extra flavor. A stew is included and we got the Seafood Beanpaste Stew which I enjoyed :) We also ordered some Prime Short Rib which was not bad but we enjoyed the pork more. Not the best banchan selection I’ve had but it’s fine. Water is SGD 2 for a pitcher that they refill. Special shoutout to Vanessa who was super nice and helpful!

B. P.

Very nice food and very nice and kind Vanessa take care of us. I have been going to this place for the last 8 years. Will always come here for nice Korea BBQ food.

N. N. C.

Staff were super pro active and friendly! Whenever our side dish ran out, they would offer and asked if we want it to be top up! Great service from the team especially Vanessa! Thanks guys! 💕

W. T. J.

I would highly recommend this Korean BBQ if you are craving for pork. My top 3 recommended pork flavours are original, miso, and garlic if you need to limit your calories intake. The waiter/waitress will help you to bbq the meats perfectly. Their soups are great too, and do not sting on kimchi and beansprouts (what you expect from a korean restaurant). If you insist to have beef, my recommendation would be US Prime and Wagyu. Only tried their truffle egg, not a big fan personally. Have not tried other dishes.

S. C.

Good beef quality and unli banchan. Very friendly staff and good service.

J. G.

Nice Korean BBQ at Town Area, been there quite a few times, gotta say that their service is good and we strongly recommend their stew pot as well, it's one of the nicest Korean food in town so far 👍

G. G. P.

Food was ok not bad, but nothing special as well. Service wise was good. Clarice was attentive and helpful. Had a pleasant experience.

C. A.

It is my first visit, really enjoyed the food and the service is excellent! We had army stew, grilled squid and 8 colours… Will definitely come back

S. H.

Service was good. Prime Rib was way too ex for the quality of beef served. Chicken was tender and the fried rice was average.

l. s.

It was pretty good, the food tasted great and the staff was pleasant and helped us with cooking the food. The place was clean and tidy, amazing place

J. H.

Food is very good, staff super hard working. Restaurant is tired, with tape on the exhaust.

Z. C.

Great food! We ordered the 4 flavor pork set, and chose the garlic, miso, red pepper paste, and galbi marinades. And also the grilled squid. Really yummy, especially when wrapped with lettuce and the free flow kimchi. The complimentary seafood bean paste stew was slightly diluted but still pretty tasty. The side dishes were alright, nothing memorable. My only gripe was the over enthusiastic service. I appreciate instructions on how to best enjoy the pork, but not when 3 service staff come by and repeat the same instructions to me. Couldn't really have a proper conversation as everyone kept coming to check in on us without us calling for help. Good intentions, but hold back a little please! It's a small space that's popular with big groups, so make reservations or come early! Wish the ventilation was a bit better, as with most Korean BBQ restaurants in Singapore.

J. K.

The food is pretty good! Love the atmosphere as well, great place if you want a feel of Korea when you can't go😅 The servers were also so kind and gave us good advice on how to enjoy our food🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🗣️🗣️

A. B. T.

Had flower pork set and army stew. Love the service. Klarisse is very attentive and helpful! Would go again!

Service is great (Vanessa was very helpful and polite). The quality of meat is superb :)

G. W.

The food is here is the absolute best. Vanessa is a fantastic server who we can always rely on to provide a fantastic meal and experience!

C. R.

Vanessa and Clarise serves us. They're very nice and attentive. You don't need to ask, they will serve what they think you still need to enjoy your pork belly! We ordered their 4-colours set. Will sure be back again!

i. a.

Good food with good service . Special thanks to Ms. Klarisse for serving as well the whole time . . 😃 we surely come back again .

It’s our second time here. Vanessa who served us was very attentive and friendly. The food overall was good, love the pickled radish and kimchi.

B. H. Y.

The food is fantastic. The service staff are amazing. We will definitely be back!

J. C.

Great food and great service. Call out to Vanessa and Edralin who gave us the best customer experience.

I. C.

Nice food! We order 8 colours with army stew, hanging tender steak, wagyu woo sang trio all food finish in instant. Vanessa is doing very well no burnt meat and she is very helpful.

J. W.

Good food and positive vibes at the restaurant - special thanks to the service crew, particularly Vanessa for the warm and friendly service!

J. T.

Amazing service, Thank you Klariss and Gem for the wonderful service. I love the garlic miso kalbi and wine pork. And the beef kimchi stew, waaa!. Amazing. Rich flavor

I. A. K.

It’s been our first time dining in at 8 Korean BBQ with my bf. It was indeed an authentic Korean style experience, ingredients seemed fresh. I’d strongly recommend 4colours and seafood stew, undeniably tasty and unique flavour. I’d like to commend Klarisse who was very friendly and so helpful with our requests. We will be back soon! Thank you all guys 👏👍🏼

J. H.

We left feeling very full and satisfied. Delicious meat with interesting flavours. Our server Adralin was friendly and attentive, too.

C. C.

For what I ordered... spicy seafood stew and truffle steamed egg... meh.. stew tasted like salt and red pepper flakes, seafood probably frozen, nothing too cool about the $18 truffle steamed eggs 😂

P.

Great place and quality service. We were served by Vanessa. Food was great and our family had a good time. Price was reasonable as well. Highly recommend.

A. J.

Vanessa’s service was welcoming and very professional. Thank you Vansssa.

T. S.

Went there for lunch with parents and hubby. We were served by Stephan, and we were very pleased with his excellence service. We ordered pork belly and 2 types of beef, all were delicious. What I liked most about this place is they cooked 1 portion of meat, let us have time to enjoy the food at our own pace, when we were done, they then return and cook the next portion. Thank you for the great service.

T. N.

Food is subpar. Ordered Flower Set (2 Flavour Pork + Pork collar + Pork Jowl) for 2 ppl. The pork was not marinated fully. Waiter will cook for you, but he does not know how to cook pork belly properly, and the fatty part was never fully cooked. Side dishes were free flow, but the taste was not impressive and portions were small, so you would have to keep asking for refill Will not visit again

A. D. T.

Nice food and friendly service!

j. K.

Everything's good with high quality pork belly.

J. B.

tried kalbi, garlic pork belly, seafood bean paste soup is good

O. C.

Had a great time last night! The service was great the crowd wasn’t that bad and was able to get my food really quick. Thank You 🙏

S. A.

I'll go again, but things to look out for. 1. Service is slow and a bit chaotic: the staff is energetic and willing to help, but they keep forgetting things, and there aren't enough of them. 2. Meat quality varied: we tried the pork (was ok) short rib (a bit chewy, surprisingly), and the rib eye (sublime) 3. The sides are awesome; loved the macaroni salad 4. Space is cool and hip

S. T.

Tried all the pork belly flavors and I love the miso pork belly best. It tastes like Japanese charsiew. My brother and sister like the herb flavor. The original is also not bad - it has a charred taste with some salt flakes. The garlic wasn’t very flavorful and the curry was a little strange to me. If you’re not keen on pork belly, the pork collar is a must as the texture is amazing. The tofu soup, the kimchi fried rice and beef are not worth ordering. I would give all a miss.

C. M.

The food was good for the price...The service also great as they are all attentive.

M. C. C.

Ambiance and food are nice. Vanessa and Clarice who attend our needs are very approachable

J. U.

Worth every penny!! Probably much more. A must try and a highly recommended restaurant!. All staff are Well-mannered and very knowledgeable with the food they serve. Will definitely come back!

S. Y.

꼬마 주먹밥 >< tuna mayo is delicious! The mixed vegetables are not very authentic and have a strong sweet taste. It’s $35 per person but it’s too much. 포도 봉봉 $4 There is a service charge!

C. L.

Just so-so! Just a Korean barbecue 😅 The pork taste is a bit strong for me…. Ordinary! It's a Korean barbeque 😅 The taste of pork is a little heavy for me...

h. k.

The staff grilled the meat, and when I ate it that way, the meat smelled a bit. I like meat cooked a little more, so I grilled it a little longer and it was delicious without any smell! If you are sensitive to smells, you may want to cook it a little longer.

A. Q.

Very authentic Korean barbecue and military pot! A great place to hang out with friends!

K. K.

Two people ordered the 68 pork set meal, which was delicious! The portion is enough!
