BOMUL Samgyetang Scotts Square Review: North Korean-Style Samgyetang In Orchard

Quick facts: BOMUL Samgyetang’s second outlet opens on 25 September 2026 at #B1-08/09, 6 Scotts Road, Singapore 228209, inside Scotts Square. It’s a Korean wellness dining restaurant specialising in samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup), with dishes from $19 to $89. Open daily, 11am to 10pm, last call 9:30pm. No reservations, walk-in only.

BOMUL Samgyetang built long queues at its first outlet in CHIJMES (you can read our CHIJMES review here), and it’s now debuting a second location at Scotts Square. With Korean food in Singapore exploding in popularity, BOMUL Samgyetang stands out with Singapore’s biggest range of organic samgyetang, with an outlet-exclusive Northern Korean-style dish and a specialty noodle series.

What Is BOMUL Samgyetang?

BOMUL Samgyetang is a Korean restaurant built entirely around samgyetang, the traditional ginseng chicken soup. The name “Bomul” translates to “treasure” in Korean, highlighting their wellness-first, Hanbang-style food rather than just another Korean restaurant in Singapore serving soup.

The Scotts Square outlet is BOMUL’s second in Singapore, expanding on the original with new dishes.

It sits among a cluster of Korean restaurants in Orchard like Doran Chicken and Seoul Restaurant, offering more homey Korean food. 

Where Is BOMUL Samgyetang?

BOMUL Samgyetang’s second outlet is at #B1-08/09, 6 Scotts Road, Singapore 228209, in the basement of Scotts Square, a short walk from Orchard MRT and Somerset MRT. 

The Vibe: Ambience At BOMUL Samgyetang

This outlet is sizeable with a 70 pax seating capacity. Located right below the escalator, the space was airy and welcoming, with familiar Korean touches like dark wooden dividers and a hanok-esque entryway. 

There’s also a six-seater semi-private room housed in a mini pavilion.  

Despite its elevated design, the space feels more like a modern Korean home rather than a regal restaurant, making it suitable for all kinds of gatherings. 

BOMUL Samgyetang Scotts Square Menu 

The menu is largely the same as their CHIJMES outlet, focused on samgyetang and samgye juk, porridge made with the samgyetang broth. 

Here is a preview of their menu:

What We Tried

Samgye Baekban ($29.90)

This Northern Korean-style dish is trending in Seoul. Unlike the usual samgyetang where everything is served in one bowl, the elements are served separately. 

The chicken is presented on a platter with Uiseong six-clove garlic and chives, while the 12-hour slow-simmered gomtang-style broth is served on the side. 

The set includes Suhyangmi rice, ginseng kimchi, pickles and four sauces including a Ginger Scallion sauce and Hanbang sauce. 

It reminded us of Muguok, a restaurant in Seoul popular for serving North Korean-style samgyetang. BOMUL’s version didn’t fall far behind: the soup was rich, layered and almost collagen-y with only a subtle hint of herbaceousness from the ginger. 

The chicken was tender and sweet, best enjoyed with a bit of garlic and chive. The Ginger Scallion sauce makes this dish similar to local chicken rice, but with a completely different flavour profile. 

Abalone Perilla Bibim Noodles ($26) 

This Scotts Square-exclusive dish featured freshly-made buckwheat noodles in a nutty, savoury dressing. Served cold, this was refreshing and appetizing, with a combination of textures from seaweed and mushrooms. Our only comment was that the abalone didn’t add much to the dish. 

Nourishing Abalone Kalguksu ($26)

BOMUL makes their kalguksu noodles fresh daily, keeping them chewy even in their warm, herbal chicken broth. This dish came with a huge, tender chicken leg which stole the show, while the abalone felt like a side more than the main flavour profile.

Spicy Octopus & Prawn Kalguksu ($24)

The sauce was punchy and savoury, generously coating the chewy noodles and seafood. This was quite spicy so we recommend it to spice lovers!

There is also the option for zero-calorie konjac noodles in Spicy Cure Konjac Noodles ($22), a Scotts Square-exclusive.
