Authentic Korean BBQ Restaurants in Singapore
Mul Gogi Korean BBQ
Located in Tanjong Pagar, Mul Gogi Korean BBQ serves up cuts of meat that have been through a water aging process. This helps increase the tenderness of the meat for a better KBBQ experience.
Not only that, they also use an egglet-looking grill that’s placed on top of a charcoal fire. Enjoy thick slabs of Samgyeopsal along with delicious banchan. Make sure to also try their kimchi pancake which had a nice crispy exterior!

Charim Korean BBQ
Quitting her dream job at Apple to help her mum achieve her dream of owning her restaurant, Charim Korean BBQ is not just another inspirational story. The KBBQ restaurant offers various set menus with multiple meat cut combinations alongside ala carte items like stews and cold noodles.
The more unique thing is how your meats will come with a pile of kimchi and beansprouts on the side, which means it’s perfect to end with Korean-styled fried rice after the meal.
They also have something known as a DIY sushi set. Read our full review here.
Omma Korean BBQ
Now available at 2 locations, Beauty World and Holland Village, Omma Korean BBQ is a great kbbq option for those living in the West. Offering the option of allowing their customers to choose their choice of firewood for the meal, the addition provides an extra layer of smokiness to the meats.
Apart from the variety of meat cuts, the menu at Omma Korean BBQ is also quite comprehensive, with Korean Fried Chicken, Cold Noodles, Stews, and more available for order.

Wang Dae Bak
If you mention KBBQ to anyone in Singapore, Wang Dae Bak is probably one of the first few places that come to mind. The KBBQ restaurant has a couple of outlets, but we’re talking about the one at Cross St for now.
Featuring a charcoal grill and free-flow eggs, Wang Dae Bak also has quality meat cuts such as Iberico Pork & more. One of their iconic menu items is undoubtedly the half-half pancake, where you can experience the best of both worlds: seafood pancake and kimchi pancake at the same time!

Wang Dae Bak Grill
Wang Dae Bak Grill is one of the newer concepts by Wang Dae Bak. It’s located in Holland Village and unlike the outlet at Cross St, they don’t use charcoal grills here. However, this doesn’t mean that the experience is diminished in any way.
The outlet offers amazing cuts of meat such as a US Prime Pork Tomahawk, Duroc Pork Collar, and US Prime Ribeye, just to name a few.

Yuktan Chobeolgu-i
Yuktan Chobeolgu-I features a chobeolgu-i style of Korean BBQ, which means that the meats are grilled over a charcoal fire before they are finished on the grill plate at your table. Because most of the grilling is done in the kitchen, chances are, you’ll leave the place without smelling like kbbq!
The last we heard, they’ve also opened a Jjajangmyeon concept right beside.

Nami Korean Grill House
Nami Korean Grill House is a Korean BBQ restaurant by the folks over at Hanjip Korean Grill House and it’s located on Greenwood Avenue, which is near Bukit Timah.
