One of the most affordable Korean BBQ buffet restaurants in Singapore, K.COOK Korean BBQ Buffet is opening a new outlet at Woodleigh Mall.

Established in 2014, K.COOK Korean BBQ Buffet at Orchard Central is the go-to Korean BBQ buffet restaurant for many people who want an affordable Korean BBQ buffet without breaking the bank.

K.COOK Korean BBQ Buffet had another outlet at Westgate previously but it closed back in 2019.

The Korean BBQ buffet lunch starts from S$16.90++ while the buffet dinner is S$26.90++ during dinner.

During dinner, you can find a selection of meats like marinated pork collar, chicken, pork belly, spicy pork belly, bacon pork collar, marinated beef short rib, beef bulgogi, beef plate eye and marinated beef ribeye, while lunch has considerately lesser beef options.

It goes without saying that the quality and variety of meat are not the best, but there’s really nothing to pick on when the prices are so affordable.

Korean BBQ Buffets is considered a past time to us; well, awesome socialising activity while stuffing ourselves silly, if you insist. Having Korean BBQ is more of an activity rather than just having a meal because you usually cook the meats and seafood yourself while chatting with friends; and then, everyone enjoys and have fun together.

Cooking up a delicious meal full of marinated meats and seafood a la minute can only be a good thing – even better when it is a buffet, so you can have them all free flow!

#3 BLUE GARDEN KOREAN BBQ

Located on the ground floor of Link Hotel at Tiong Bahru is Blue Garden, and the bulgogi here is crazily delicious. It was our favourite among all the meats, but that said, Blue Garden still has a pretty wide spread to offer. The side dishes were pretty run-out-of-the-mill, so we’d suggest to skip that and save your tummy space for meat. And more meat.

#4 BORNGA KOREAN BBQ RESTAURANT

This is a slightly pricier option, but trust us – quality comes with a price and it is worth paying for prime meat. Bornga sits on the second level of Vivo City, and if you are lucky enough to get the seats by the side, you’ll enjoy dinner with a view of Sentosa.

Over on the menu, the BBQ meat selection ranges from S$22 to S$45. We loved the Kimchi Jjigae (S$15) and Bibimbap (S$15). And what we really like about Bornga is the experience – they serve you a whole selection of veggies and chillies, as with premium salt and sauces to complement your BBQ meats.
