I don’t think the one at Sunset Way is run by Kim’s. At least I hope not. The restaurant name at said address has changed. The food is dismal. Chinese Korean fusion?

Hi, as a Korean I must let you know that kimchee is not considered an appetizer. It is almost always eaten with rice or noodles.

I love to eat Korean food, but it’s kinda difficult to find it in Singapore, other than Seoul Garden (not-so-Korean), I cannot find any, recommendation guys?

Is this the same restaurant chain that is in Sunset Way? We had terrible food. Service was not that goo either. The six dishes we started out lacked flavor. I could make better at home, which defeats the whole purpose of going out.

Too bad as they just opened up on West Coast Road near where we live but we will never go back to Kim’s. Rather go hungry.

I was TERRIFIED at Kim’s family Sunset way branch last evening, we found a baby cockroach in the Ginseng Chicken soup! If we were dining in a hawker centre, I would have taken it slighty easier. We informed the manager in charge and of course they apologised for the negligence.

Yes,

Would like to add my 2 cents worth. I love korean food and i typically enjoy the one at Amara and Itogi at chinatwon. Fantastic seafood soup they serve and the side dishes can be ordered again at no addtl costs. Prices have gone up abit but i will still patronize these 2places which are my favourite.
Any one can advise where else will i get good korean food with decent pricing ?

Ju Shin Jung is kind of pricey for 2 persons. If you can go there by a group of people of 4 or 5, it is worth it. You can try two types there, BBQ and Steamboat. For me, I prefers BBQ.:) If you try BBQ with Korean Wine, it is perfect match. I recommend to try at YES center. If you wanna go on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, you should make a reservation first.

Hello Elinn: Thanks for the recommendation. I have tried ramen santouku before but i din blog on it yet. Which part of roberton quay is “ramen is art” located at? haven see it around before.

Ju Shin Jung is kind of pricey right? haha will probably try it soon since it’s like one of the more popular Korean BBQ around : )

You should try Ramen Santouku at Central and Ramen is Art (I THINK that’s the name) at Robertson Quay. The pork cheek ramen from Santouku is heavenly! Both have really great thick creamy broth. You really should try more Japanese ramen!

Ju Shin Jung, located at East Coast and YESS Centre, serves great korean food as well. Like Kims’ they serve about 10 different types of side dishes at the start of the meal and the best part – it’s free flow! And free of charge! Even when you keep asking for more!

emy: i tried marutama before, but the biggest fan of ramen though. there’s so many ramen places in Singapore. how many have you tried so far?

By: Emy

Emy — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 08:24:38 +0000

Japanese ramen you can try Marutama at Central Mall. Personally I like it better than the Gallery Hotel version.

I’ve been told there’s another place in East Coast (opposite Obolo)that has very good ginseng chicken but I have yet to try it.

chelle: yay you stay in the west too! hee i been there twice too. But i’m lazy to learn how to cook korean at home, other than korean ramen that is? haha

Haha Kim’s near my place too I’ve been there twice now I think. For a more authentic and cheaper option, I think it’s not hard to cook Korean at home, I used to have a Korean housemate while studying overseas and I learnt how to cook some dishes from her – easy! What’s more…there’s so many Korean mini marts in the west area…

Ju Shin Jong at Pasir Panjang is good too – loads of side dishes. But good doesn’t come cheap hehe. (:

j2kfm: yep you just said everything on my mind, i rather have bibimbap! but i’m sure a bowl of hot ramen will taste good on a rainy day

amanda: Hello there, i’m not too sure abt 3d durian cakes, but Goodwood park Hotels are famous for their durian desserts, maybe you can give it a try.

LFB: Oh dear, i have yet to try Korean Ginseng chicken, you need to enlighten me on that

joycelyn: thanks for the recommendation, will try them when I’m in Novena area next time

Shawn: haha do drop by and give them a try, let me know if you like it
