Visited this place on Saturday for dinner. Ordered the BBQ sets (pork belly and marinated chicken slices), stir-fried rice cakes, and skewer fishcake soup. Food portions were also big.The skewer fishcake soup tasted almost similar to the ones I had in Korea, except that the fishcake here was less chewy. The BBQ sets were good, but I prefer the pork belly slices. The stir-fried rice cakes were not so good - very hard and the sauce was thick but overly sweet.I guess I would only visit this place again if Im nearby and have craving for Korean food.

Tried their ginseng chicken set lunch, ordered BBQ pork and beef, seafood pancake. The ginseng chicken honestly dont taste anything like ginseng chicken, ginseng taste and sweetness is nothing like the other Korean restaurants. The pork collar we ordered was tasteless and in thick, chunky pieces, with fats and meat that were too hard to chew and enjoy. The beef was ok. Seafood pancake was not tasty. Overall quite a disappointment.

Usual lunch spot pre covid. They used to have weekday lunch deals which were more affordable and of better value considering the quality. It is slightly above average tasting. Typical chain restaurant food quality. Giving it 3 stars because the original prices is not worth the quality.

I still cannot stop thinking about their tteokbokki months later...the best Ive ever had and I am a tteokbokki afficionado. The sauce had a wonderful depth of flavour that made all others seem bland in comparison. The beef bibimbap was very good, as well. The prices are, in my opinion, justified by the generous portions and the quality. Also, very friendly service for a take-away situation during lockdown!

Ordered the ginseng chicken soup. It was disappointing considering that the price is on the high side. Glutenous rice taste like chicken rice instead. Honestly, I have tasted better chickens out there.

Picture does deceived! They look good but they don’t taste good! Pork is not fresh, got those “porky” smell. Soup broth is not thick either. Lastly, pancake has too much flour hence it explained it’s thickness🥺 will not come back again.

So so quality ... would recommend one try if you really need to. Agree that the ginseng chicken got no taste of ginseng. Top up of side dishes is not free and comes at $1 per top up per item.

Quite decent Korean restaurant - a bit on the pricey side if you are looking for lunch-time food during office hours; but they do have some lunch sets.Honestly, their ala carte menu is way better in flavor than their lunch set. I recommend their BBQ ribs - the Kim chi is quite delicious. You get a whole set of side dishes when you order ala carte (smaller if lunch set) so before going overboard with ordering other stuff, consider the side dish being sufficientRecommended for casual lunch settings

The seafood soup is blend that I have to add the whole kimchi side dish into the soup to make it taste slightly better. Its pricey for this kind of quality. Maybe other food in the menu will taste better but its unlikely that I will come back again.

Hmm I can only say there are better Korean restaurant... overall its just ok

Convenient place. Food is ok but price on the high side. Menu is basically by set.

The tofu stew is completely tasteless. Lost my appetite after a few bites. Very unsatisfying and a waste of calories. Would not recommend. Service staff also seems to have trouble understanding english.

So far the food is fine and not as delicious as I expected to be.

The restaurant is crowded during lunch hour, so I highly suggest beating the crowd and reaching there a tad earlier.Food: I’ve tried several sets, including the stews (e.g kimchi jiggae) and rice-based bowls (e.g bimbimbap). The food tastes nice, but there are minor things that stand out — the pork belly slices are quite thin, and a little too fat for my liking. Kimchi falls on the sour side, and the taste is a little flat.Portion sizes are decent; you won’t go hungry after.Service: Not bad but not exceptional.

Kimchi Soup set @ S$16.50. Taste Good and appetising! They also have daily set lunches menu @S$12.90++ per set

Finally attempted this place after hearing so much about it. The legendary Korean restaurant albeit the original one at Amara Hotel that people have been talking about over the years.First impression was that the menu is somewhat limited and does not offer a great variety of food and beverage. Secondly prices are slightly on the high side. Thirdly, there’s no such thing as free refill for side dishes! It cost SGD1 per refill per item!Food quality is average. The kimchi stew was edible but lacked the punch and umami-ness. There’s the lack of the kimchi-taste follow through and scent.The samgetang (ginseng chicken) was tasteless - where’s the taste of ginseng? The glutinous rice was so minuscule too. This is one dish without rice given that there’s glutinous rice but alas one would definitely not survive on that smallish quantity. The chicken was tough, not tender which it should have been after being cooked for hours.In any case, overall it’s hard for me to recommend this place at all.

Decent Korean food. Excellent service provided by an Indian service crew. 4 star cause of service received.

Have been going to their Amara hotel branch for lunch occasionally in the past with colleagues, and always felt a homely sensation there. Decided to try out their new branch here, and contrary to other reviews, felt that the service was good. Was allowed to choose a seat we wanted, they politely answered questions during order and even though our drinks didn’t come, after asking for it, the female server apologized and quickly brought us the items.I had the ramen with meat topup +$3 (granted - could have been slightly cheaper as $12.90 for a meatless instant noodles is not enticing). The whole set came with some sides (not bad and not the usual ones expected). The cheap add ons are good though. The fried dumplings were juicy and delicious. Ramen soup was spicy enough and not msg laden.Seatings are spacious and there’s plenty of options to choose from the menu.

The full spring chicken ginseng soup with glutinous rice was very appetizing. Perfect meal for rainy days. They were very generous with the portion. Would like to come back for their BBQ lettuce wrap set.

Good Korean restaurant. Reasonably priced dishes.

Food is always good here!

I don’t really complain but this is my first time patrol this restaurant. We have 4 pax and only 2 have arrived but was refrained from entering the restaurant cause there was a time limit of 60mins to dine. If this is a buffet menu, it is understandable but it’s ala carte. Is this the standard a restaurant should provide? I am famishing and I can’t order while awaiting for the remaining to arrive. Why there isn’t a website to feedback, afraid people will complain?

Great tasting Korean food! Portions are filling, Kimchi is great, service is fast! One of our favourite places to get Korean meals!

Worst korean restaurant ever..pork is smelly and not fresh..instant noodle cost you $5 !! without the soup and only plain noodle..and the pancake taste awful and weird taste..but you are paying high price for low quality food.. suggest reconsider before you coming.

Good taste, feeling good nappy after lunch. Power nap if you must. 😁. Try now for set lunch till end of cny.

Yummy food and great serVice

Foods good, prices reasonable & services oso good & fast. We love this place. Can try, no regrets 😁👍

The food is okay. The set doesnt include rice. For the price, the service could have been better (cannot rate half star so give 3 stars).

Extremely disappointed! We came here for dinner with very little expectation knowing that this place is in a shopping mall, and operating with the concept of ‘fast food’. Little did we know that it’s even lower than our low expectations. We ordered seafood tofu soup and to our amusement, 1 prawn, 1 clam, 1 mussel with tasteless soup base (see pic), I reckon that’s seafood for them. The kimchi is the most pathetic looking and tasting that I have ever experienced, it’s dry and unusually and suspiciously ‘very red’ in colour. We have tried our very best to look for positive things in our food to bring back some sense of comfort to our dinner but failed. If you want a quick dinner and do not care for the quality, there are other places to satisfy that; now you know how disappointed we are. You may ask why didn’t we feedback to the restaurant, well, we are doing it here since there is no feedback loop at the restaurant. Our review is of honest reflection to our disappointment and our sincere notification to any possible customers.

Food was so-so.Clumsy staffs,one spilled tea on the floor splashing onto customers, took serviettes to wipe the floor, instead of passing to customers to wipe themselves.Another one spilled tea on me while clearing the table.Third one was an eager beaver to clear the table and in her hasty actions, dropped used chopsticks on customers lap.Overall. Horrible experience.

Great Seafood Tofu Kimchi Soup set!! Very good taste and all small prickles are refillable! Good value Korean food

Always love the oxtail soup with rice. Also love the ginseng chicken and just missed yesterday Wednesday to be here as they have the chicken soup dish for half price for half chicken. Service is quick and nothing to complain about esp during busy lunch crowd.

Not too bad, I would recommend to a friend. Dont be fooled by the disappointing menu, they didnt have hotpots like budaejjigae but their bbq sets are good. Once-refillable banchans is good enough for me.The bbq bulgogi was tender and tasted authentic. I liked all their banchans- kimchi, spinach(?), half a marinated egg and some strange seaweed in mayo(?). I liked the weird seaweed, it was light and crunchy.Only thing I was dissatisfied about was the service. Use Chope for reservation for points. Use favepay for cashback.

The Yakult soju was really good but ginseng chicken soup was not tio my liking. Why chopped up the chicken?

Expensive, tasteless Korean food. Everything is too sweet and bland. Dont waste your time. There is better Korean in Takashimaya, if you must eat in a department store

Ordered the combo - lean pork hot plate, seafood soup, and seafood pancake. All were tasty. Found service during visit to be ok.

Started to visit this restaurant a few months back and food was really good and qty was really sufficient. Like it enough to return a few more times and it starts to get worse. On 1 occasion, meat quantity in the bibimbap was so little I can count how many pieces there are with 1 hand. I even verified with the server on the quantity. Another time, the marinated bbq pork was obviously lesser and not well-marinated as before. They also used to include 2 small slices of watermelon in set meals. Then they changed to yakult. Then no more at all. Prices still remain the same.

Bad services with hygienic issues. Food is ok until my wife found this half melted plastic in her soup. The young duty manager apologised and only offered a 10% discount as well as a new bowl of soup from the same pot with the plastic issue.

Food is ok but I dont like the price

Super huge portion and flavour was on point. The set meal for 2 pax was so huge that it could actually feed 3 pax.

My friend and I ordered a tofu stew each (Item A9) and there was such huge taste variation between our 2 bowls.My tofu stew tasted like water, was diluted and had no consistency of a stew. Hers was just a tad more flavourful but left an unimpressionable note on my palate.The side dishes were not great either. Had to top up $1 to get diluted barley tea as well...I have patronised this restaurant twice this year (once during circuit breaker as take-out) and now in October.Unfortunately the food quality is not worth the price.I would not recommend this place.

Nice kimchi ramen

Portion - 6/10Taste - 5/10Service - 8/10Price worth - 5/10Note: side dish refill cost additional SGD 1.Returning back? dont think will come back again.

Horrible service staff lol. asked me to push in my chair so i thought i was blocking someone/thing. but no. i wasn’t. so thanks i guess. also pro tip, a customer knows when you’re trying to make them leave. stop asking me “can i clear your plate” EVERY SINGLE SECOND when my food is hardly close to finishing and i just put my cutlery down for a minute.also food wise - overpriced. instant taste, feels like you just threw things in. i’ve eaten better.i’ll give this 2 stars because it isn’t that horrible that i’ll puke. but i’m utterly disappointed. also giving the benefit of the doubt that it was quite crowded and they were slightly understaffed.

Used to be located at Amara Hotel run by the Koreans and a high end restaurant for BBQ cuisine. Now located at Raffles City, its like any Fast food outlet serving Korean dishes for a quick meal.

Any restaurant in Singapore that charges for tap water will have a star deducted immediately.Food was alright if youre having cravings for Korean food.

Do not recommend (Raffles City Branch)On 9 Nov 2019, between 9-9.30pm, noted the following bad service:1) servers ignoring me when asked to take order, two of them chatting right in front of my table while pretending to clear the table together.2) server asked to clear my table which i agreed. Picked up a side dish and to my face asking me “do you still want to eat this”. AGAIN, I already said he can clear my table. Even if I would like to eat the side dish, isn’t is unhygienic and rude to do that.3) chased me to leave citing “my manager ask me to tell you we are closing so i think you should leave” (my card is still with the cashier and I was waiting for it to be returned)4) there were still a few tables behind me still having their meals.If you are in such a hurry to close, why do you open in the first place?Food is reasonable else the place is not even worth a star. Plentiful of other Korean Restaurants in Singapore. BONUS: With GOOD Service.

A very convenient place to meet and eat Korean. Their prices and service are good. Portions a bit small though - my Saba fish was the smallest I ever had.Being in Raffles City we will expect their customers to be executives and office workers. But on that day there were many tables of women bonding over long meals - as a long queue forms outside

Set meals below $15. Really like their refillable side dishes.

Ordered seafood duenjang (bean paste) set lunch. The soup was red with a lot of chilli paste & less of duenjang. The ban-chan (side dish) was pathetic in both quantity & quality, & looks like some leftover from previous diner. Disappointing & definitely not authentic at all. Will not visit anymore.

Frankly, this eatery would have gotten 4stars if their service standard was much better. The food is above average but the service standard is definitely Below Average, despite paying the 10% service charge! Mind you, it was 3pm so no heavy lunch crowd.Firstly, as you entered, you are seated by a cashier with a super Black Face, so no greeting or welcome smile as typical of most Japanese, Chinese & Korean eateries. Oh well, maybe it was just this unpleasant one.Lo & behold, the staff who took my order seemed to be gagged, so also no smile, no answer to your order & no thank you. Shes like an idiotic robot😠In fact , most of the staff there look unfriendly & angry, including the Manager who is a Korean. You dont feel welcomed eating there. The whole staff there not only look unfriendly & bordering on being rude, but they are indeed unpleasant & unwelcoming.Its so contradicting cos the name of this eatery sounds like going home for your meal but with this bunch of unfriendly staff, theres no repeat visit from me and my friends!

Good that they had vegetarian options but .. AVOID. found small piece of meat in my bibimbap, YUK. didnt want to make a fuss as I was with a friend. Never going back.

Tried the kimchi soup set. Taste so so only. Not worth the price.

Service was good, side dishes were clearly distinct in taste from the regular Korean places. Had the hot stone bibimbap which allowed you to add your preferred level of sauce, which I liked. Would come back again for sure

Loved the kimchi soup n korean ginseng soup

Came for an early dinner on a Saturday evening with my partner. We had the spicy seafood soup which lived up its name with the layer of chilli oil. The side dishes and fresh greens balanced out the richness of marinated meat dishes. The seafood pancake was a little more doughy than the usual crispy one in other Korean restaurants. The wait staff were attentive and frequently refilled our glasses of iced tea.

The most authentic and best service Korean Restaurant in Spore.

As with all food joints in Raffles City, gets extremely crowded at lunch time. Selection is decent and there are good sharing sets for 3 or 4 people. Portions are a decent size, top up of side dishes is charged at $1 (as of Mar 2019)

Reasonable priced Korean Set Lunch

The beef and pork sets are delicious. Quite value for money for less than $20!

Food selection is nice. Quality is good. But price is quite expensive. You can get similar quality Korean food at a cheaper price over at tanjong pagar

Nothing fanciful about its food. Very normal korean food. We had beef bulgogi, bbq chicken set, beef rib soup and korean panjeon.Bbq chicken is too dry and Panjeon is too starchy. Theres better korean food around.

The food taste really good and nice. I ordered the kimchi stew with a bowl of rice and 4 different sides. The food I will actually rate 5 stars, but the service is very poor.We called the waitress for orders but she seems distracted. And also the chilled barley drink was stated free flow, but no waiters come by our table to refill it for us, even though we tried asking them (they just said okay). Its not a peak hour so is not crowded in the restaurant.Other than the service, food is very delicious and well-prepared :)

Probably wont be coming back here again. Food was ok but not exceptional. We had seafood tofu soup and grilled Saba. The soup didnt have much seafood flavour. Service was average. They greeted you but not attentive enough to refill your drinks. Price is shopping centre standing. We paid almost 40.

Food was good but rice wine was very expensive with average quality

Good svc, allows refillable of drinksMarinated pork belly is great, so is Kimich & squid Ban ChaiRest are avg at 3 star

Food was quite good

I had the spicy seafood tofu soup. Not bad, pretty generous with the sides, although it wasnt free flow.

We ordered the combo meal and everything tasted nice. I especially loved the seafood soup. Would have enjoyed it more if there were more ingredients in the soup.

Had the kimchi soup and hot plate beef. Both were very tasty. The kimchi soup was a little too tomato-ish for my tastes but its still very good quality. Slightly pricey but the set meals are a better value.

Worst Korean restaurant in SG ever!! Where should I start ? Outdated kimchi which was basically went bad and changed colors, tasted awful. Beef bulgogi was from the worst part of the meat which came in a pool of fat. None of the classical side dishes also taste as usual. Kimchi pancake is another failure for basically no kimchi inside costs 18sgd.Even my $5 foodcourt korean food taste better than this. I’m so disappointed that I’m gonna make a review first time ever!!

Pretty good. I liked the unlimited sides. The kimchi was good. Good price for quantity.

Last year i gave 5* for good taste of bul kal bi. Today i was disappointed because of their service. During this covid, 2 of us came for lunch and were given seats which were less than 1 m to next customer .We asked to sit somewhere else and was told oh that is for 4. We were dismayed as more than half of the restaurant were empty and the time was almost the end of lunch time. The server insist we cannot use other tables. In short, we left & crossed out this place from our list. Good Bye

Pretty good. The set meal at that price is good enough

Korean Cuisine , BBQ & Grill , Korean StewsUsing the freshest premium cuts of Beef with perfect marbling, Hyang-To-Gol provides an unrivalled Korean BBQ experience. Together with other authentic Korean dishes like Bibimbap and Ginseng Chicken Soup, this Korean restaurant brings the taste of Korea to the table.

Actually 3.5 stars but there isnt that option.First time i tried this place out since they took over from the previous Korean eatery not to long ago. And I find myself preferring the current restaurant more.The lunch sets and servings were generous enough to satisfy a healthy appetite. And they do not sting on the accompanying small dishes. With each of us recieving 4 sets of identical dishes. Making up 12 plates as there were 3 of us. Two if us ordered the set for two, from which we picked the ginseng chicken, kimchi pancake, and a spicy pork hotplate (generous portions). While one ordered the raymen.We could barely finish the servings although i did have two bowls of rice, too satisfy my lunch carbs requirement. (Yes i do have a healthy appetite, but i am blessed with skinny genes :p, awesome when one is also a foodie! I digress....)Quality of the food was decent, i especially like the spicy pork. The herbal chicken soup was flavorful, however the chicken could have been boiled longer to soften the meat. The pancake i would have preferred if it was slight less oily and a bit more crispy.Service was all right, given the restaurant was full, and they barely had sufficient staff to cope.Would come back again perhaps during dinner and try out their ala Cate dishes in a less rush / hectic setting.

They indeed keep up their standard, food there still so delicious. Never disappointed me. Thks. Must try.

I had the bulgogi rice set - tasted like the average korean food court meal with a pricey tag - $20 (including service fee).

The jijae here is just the right amount of sweet, spicy and sour :)

Expensive food and bad experience.

Side dishes look like they were prepared yesterday dry, dark & not fresh. Ingredients in my seafood tofu soup was probably a whole slab of tofu plus a piece of seafood each 😂 They should rename it 1 piece of seafood toufu soup instead!

Love their appetizers, marinated pork is delicious (u can have it spicy/non-spicy), hot/cold barley tea is refillable, u can also choose to have brown rice. Value for money.

Marinated pork bbq

Yummy food at a decent price.

Hubby and I went there for dinner last night n we both had the worst food poisoning ever. I am pissed. Paid close to $50 to suffer. Luckily I prepared food for my 2yo. Couldn’t imagine if she had food poisoning too. Unethical business that just wan make money n neglect welfare of customer. They should close down the business

Acceptable price for a plc in shopping mall. Service is fine

First time here. We took the cold bibimbap. Tasteless and not worth the price. Not anywhere near Korea standard. Also had Jajangmyeon. The texture is so soft and the sauce is tasteless. Did the chef actually taste what they are whipping out. The only satisfactory is the thin sliced pork belly.

Nice korean food

The tanjong pagar branch is better.

Saba was a bit smelly. Sweet hot cinnemen pancake with vanilla ice cream was enjoyable.

Very good Korean food. Fast service many options to choose from.

Dissapointed with bad rice served. Ordered lunch meal and regretted having meal here. Slow service and over rated food.

A very poor approximate of the one at Amara. Would not go again to this branch at City Hall.

Quite authentic Korean Restaurant. Can pass. Price is ok.

Authentic Korean food, liked the Kimchi stew and fried pork rice. Not too salty.

Best customer service attitude and great food

Small portions that are not very delicious, decide not to order more than just enough for 2.

Nice lunch over a catch up with a close friend

Good food but slow service and unfriendly

Decent food and service.
