Quick answer: Sodeng Jeju is a Korean barbecue restaurant at DUO Galleria in Bugis, the third Sodeng outlet, with a menu built around Jeju: 14-day aged black pork, abalone pot rice, Jeju noodle soup and banchan sourced from Jeju Island. It is at 7 Fraser Street #01-51/56 and serves lunch and dinner Monday to Saturday. It officially opens 6 October 2026.
Sodeng made its name in Singapore as a Korean BBQ restaurant with a unique cast-iron-lid grill. Its first two outlets in Telok Ayer and Amoy Street are built around duck BBQ and 72-hour-aged beef ribs, but its third outlet at DUO Galleria in Bugis narrows the focus: Jeju Island.
This concept focuses on ingredients and dishes from the beloved Korean island, including a 14-day-aged black pork and abalone liver pot rice. Even the banchan comes from Jeju!
What is Sodeng Jeju?
Sodeng Jeju is a K BBQ restaurant in Bugis by the Sodeng group.
Unlike their Telok Ayer outlet, this outlet focuses on the flavours of Jeju Island with premium ingredients shipped directly from there, including the famed black pork (heukdewaeji) and fermented squid banchan (ojingo jeotgol).
Where is Sodeng Jeju?
Sodeng Jeju is at 7 Fraser St #01-51/56, DUO Galleria, Singapore 189356, linked directly to Bugis MRT via Exit F.
The 60+ seater space follows an open-plan concept, with each table having a dedicated grill hood. Here, the staff do the grilling for you.
It’s dark and moody, but it showcases elements of Jeju’s culture, such as volcanic rock and dol hareubang, its traditional large stone statues.
There are also six private rooms available that can sit six people each, or combined together.
Sodeng Jeju Menu
Sodeng Jeju offers separate lunch and dinner menu items, ranging from lunch sets to K BBQ at night. It’s small but focused on Jeju pork and dishes. Do note that every diner must order 1 item for dine-in.

What Should You Order At Sodeng Jeju?
Our picks: Jeju Black Pork Belly, Jeju Pork Noodle Soup and Jeju Hangover Soup.
The lunch sets are relatively good value for the portion size, but the dinner offerings are where Sodeng Jeju really shines.
Banchan
This banchan deserves a section of its own. All of the banchan are airflowing from Korea, so you’re getting the most authentic taste.
The lineup we had included:
- Ssi-at Jeotgal (Spicy herring roe with nuts)
- Gosari Namu (Seasoned fern)
- Fresh Kimchi
- Pickled Perilla Leaf, Radish & Chayote
- White Kimchi
- Salted Peppercorn
- Kong Namul-Pa Geotjori (Seasoned beansprout and green onion)
- Tot Muchim (Seaweed)
This lineup is the same as their Telok Ayer branch. Our favourites are still the Ssi-at Jeotgal and Perilla leaf!
Abalone Porridge
One of Jeju’s signature dishes, the abalone porridge was served with sliced abalone and sesame oil. The flavours lean on the plain side, without the strong savouriness or umami usually associated with this dish.
It’s best enjoyed with their housemade seasoned squid (ojing-o jeotgal) that’s spicy and punchy, lending more flavour to the dish.
Jeju White Pork Neck
Compared to Black Pork, White Pork has a gentler, sweeter flavour. Their pork neck was high quality, with a near-perfect fat-to-meat ratio.
The staff cooked it till a golden, crisp exterior. It wasn’t the most tender or juicy, but it had a clean aftertaste. The banchan made the flavours more interesting, such as the salty anchovy dipping sauce and salted peppercorn.
Jeju Black Pork Belly
This was our preferred cut between the two. What sets this cut apart from the usual samgyeopsal is the layer of skin, which the staff cook fully to prevent any rubberiness.
The meat was crisp, fatty and bursting with oil, having a concentrated pork flavour from the ageing. We especially liked it with their pickled perilla leaves that cut through any greasiness.
This and the Jeju Black Pork Neck ($39/160g) are limited to 20 servings a day, so we recommend getting there earlier!
Hareubang Potato Salad
Served in the shape of a dol hareubang, this potato salad tasted better than anticipated. The mixture of potato and black sesame made the dish fragrant, pairing well with the creaminess from the mayo-based sauce.
Jeju Pork Noodle Soup
This lunchtime special was our favourite dish! The broth was rich and sweet from the pork, pairing well with the noodles. It was simple but satisfying, complete with slightly fatty slices of pork belly.
It’s also a big portion for one person and you’ll definitely be full afterwards.
Hangover Soup
Designed to cure hangovers, their hangover soup was spicy and packed with beef and tripe. The kick at the back of the throat was addictive, especially with the mix of textures from vegetables and meat. We’d eat this even without a hangover!
Verdict: Is Sodeng Jeju Worth It?
Yes, Sodeng Jeju is worth visiting. Aside from their aged pork KBBQ menu, we found their dishes like Jeju Pork Noodle Soup and Hangover Soup to stand out. The ambience is casual and approachable, with plenty of private rooms for intimate gatherings.
