Ssikkek Korean BBQ

An extension of 2D1N Soju Bang, the grandfather of Korean BBQs in Singapore, Ssikkek Korean BBQ can be found at the quiet corner of Chinatown, right next to myCK Chinatown. For an affordable price, you’d get all the spoils of a typical Korean BBQ buffet—cuts of meat, seafood, cooked Korean food, appetisers and fresh cut fruits—without the fuss or frills. 

That said, but we wouldn’t plan any activities after the buffet. Why? You’d be too full to move, would require a post-meal nap and if that won’t deter you, the need to rid the smell of Korean BBQ on your clothes will (air ventilation isn’t great here). 

Psst... If you dine here between 7pm and 8pm, you will also enjoy unlimited servings of salmon sashimi!

I’m Kim Korean BBQ

A good mix of BBQ options, cooked Korean food options and fresh-cut fruits is what you will find here. While BBQ is the main reason why you are at I'm Kim Korean BBQ, don’t forget to save some space for the cooked Korean food options⁠—especially the kimbap and Korean fried chicken wings! As it tends to get pretty crowded during the weekends, I would strongly recommend that you make a reservation.

There’s a time limit of 90 minutes, so arrive hungry and ready to eat.

Note that there is a two-hour time limit for this buffet.

Food for thought — if you don’t leave this buffet feeling like you have eaten your weight in BBQ meat and are having trouble moving, have you really even eaten?

2D1N Soju Bang

The grandfather of all Korean BBQ buffet joints that started it all, and in my humble opinion, transformed the quiet Tanjong Pagar Road into the ‘Little Korea Town’ it is today. Similar to the rest of the Korean BBQ joints on this list, on their buffet menu is a standard variety of meats, seafood and accompaniments to choose from.

Don Dae Bak

Gather your friends and put on your stretchy pants because you’d need some breathing room for the gloriously thick (almost an inch) cuts of pork belly cooked over a charcoal flame that you’re about to indulge in. While that may mean that meats take a little longer to cook, the owners of Don Dae Bak strongly believe that charcoal cooked meat is the only way to go, and we can’t agree more.

If you’ve had enough of porky goodness (or don’t take pork), Don Dae Bak also offers marinated cuts of chicken and beef. All of the above are served with a selection of fresh banchans (Korean appetizers) made by the ajumma (a respectful Korean word for a married, or marriage aged woman) herself, fresh vegetables and a portion of fluffy steamed egg.

CHOGA Korean Restaurant (Formerly Shin Manbok Korean Restaurant)

Staying in the west and looking to get your Korean BBQ fix? Then you’d definitely have to pay a visit to CHOGA Korean Restaurant. Owned and managed by an adorable Korean couple, this is as close to authentic Korean food as you can get in Singapore. Their Korean BBQ buffet includes unlimited servings of pork belly, marinated pork, beef brisket and marinated chicken. On top of this, you have the option to order a portion of fried chicken, a stew (jjigae) and Korean pancake (pajeon) of your choosing. 

Do leave some space for the amazing Banchan spread that’s included in the buffet. From kimchi to salty anchovies and marinated eggplant, all of them are made fresh by the always-slightly-grumpy ajumma, so be sure not to waste them. If your tummy isn’t up for a buffet, CHOGA offers a wide spread of a la carte items that include usual suspects like japchae (stir-fried Korean glass noodle), kimchi-jjigae (kimchi stew) and hae mul pajeon (seafood pancake).
