Bibim Deli is a Korean eatery in Singapore that specialises in fresh, housemade banchan (Korean side dishes) and DIY bibimbap bowls. Unlike most Korean spots here that lead with Korean BBQ or fried chicken, Bibim Deli’s draw is its rotating banchan counter, priced by weight, with free-flow rice included.
What Is Bibim Deli?
Bibim Deli is a banchan-focused Korean eatery with two outlets in Singapore: Suntec City and JEM.
It’s the first overseas venture from Korean chef Min Yohan, owner of Korean banchan brand 도시곳간 (Dosigotgan) and a contestant on the Korean reality show Culinary Class Wars.
The concept joins a growing list of Korean names in Singapore, alongside Bulgogi Syo and noci bakehouse.

How Does Bibim Deli Work?
Bibim Deli uses a pay-by-weight system: $3.88 nett per 100 grams.
Every order starts with 150 grams of rice (not inclusive in the final weight), which you load with your banchan of choice. It also includes free-flow rice and seaweed soup.
What’s On The Menu At Bibim Deli?
The banchan selection rotates weekly and is drawn from Chef Min’s library of over 1,000 recipes.
Suntec City Menu Highlights:
- Fresh Kimchi
- Japchae
- Braised Tofu (Dubu Jorim)
- Stir-Fried Fishcake (Eomuk Bokkeum)
- Seasoned Fern (Gosari Namul)
Two special banchan were featured on Culinary Class Wars: Cucumber Salad and Green Bean Shiitake, which you can now try here!
There is also a hot banchan selection, with classic Korean-style proteins like Bulgogi with Onion (Yangpa Bulgogi) and Korean Fried Chicken with a Soy-based sauce or Spicy sauce.
JEM Menu Highlights
The JEM outlet presents three special dishes made in collaboration with chef Woo Jung-Wook of Culinary Class Wars (“Seoul Mom”).
- Yogurt Coleslaw with chicken breast and walnuts
- Pyongyang-style Bossam with radish kimchi
- Seasoned Eggplant in a tangy, garlicky marinade
There are also three JEM-exclusive dishes: Sindong-dang Tteokbokki, Gochujang Mapo Tofu and Crispy Assorted Twigim.
What Should You Order At Bibim Deli?
Our two recommendations are the japchae and stir-fried kimchi, and the Soy Marinated Egg is a must-order! The yolk stays jammy, and the marinade is savoury without being heavy-handed.
For protein, the bulgogi outperforms the fried tonkatsu, with a smoky sweetness that pairs well with rice.
The Jeyuk Bokkeum was solid but would benefit from a touch more sweetness to balance it out.
The name “bibim” means mixed, and that’s the intended way to eat it: banchan, rice, and protein combined rather than eaten separately. Mixing everything together brings out more flavour than eating each component on its own!
If you’re looking for low- or no-carb options, you can skip the rice and enjoy plenty of vegetarian options like spinach, roasted broccoli, and kim-mari (fried seaweed rolls).
Is Bibim Deli Worth It?
Yes. Bibim Deli is worth it for a fast, customisable lunch in Suntec City, especially if you want to sample a wide range of banchan in one sitting. The pay-by-weight pricing can add up quickly, but the quality and authenticity of the food justify it.
