WHY DOES EATIGO WORK?

All these discounts are great, but is there a catch?

Not at all. The app makes use of yield management to bring peak-hour crowds to off-peak hours.

Restaurants are often packed during traditional mealtimes but tend to be almost empty during off-peak hours (say, 3pm). This isn’t good for restaurants, especially when costs for manpower, electricity, water and rent are still being incurred.

But would you shift your eating times for no reason at all? We wouldn’t too. eatigo’s yield management gives us that reason. These time-based discounts are offered throughout the day. Higher discounts of up to 50% offered during off-peak hours, while peak hours yield lower discounts, at a minimum of 10%.

This way, while us diners are enjoying meals at a lower cost, restaurants can also continue turning a profit during off-peak hours even after the given discounts, resulting in a win-win situation for both.

Read: 11 Best Korean BBQ Restaurants in Singapore

We love indulging in Korean cuisine, especially Korean barbeques! Unfortunately, Korean food does not come cheap in Singapore, and this reflects even in food courts.

So when one All-You-Can-Eat Korean BBQ comes to mind, one would often think that it is going to be a wallet-damaging meal. Well, you are neither wrong nor are you right.

Korean BBQ Buffet in Singapore is indeed usually expensive, but that’s not the case at Maru Korean BBQ Buffet. The no-frills Korean restaurant is located along the stretch of Cheong Chin Nam Road and only a stone’s throw away from recently opened Beauty World MRT Station. Buffet prices are incredibly affordable and start from S$9++ per child and S$14++ per adult during weekday lunch. What a steal!

Tuck into endless servings of prawns, sausages, marinated beef, marinated pork belly and whatnot. There are several different marinations to choose from and you can look forward to spicy, soy sauce teriyaki and even herb wine. A selection of vegetables is available too.

You can cook these raw ingredients by yourselves on a hotplate. A parchment paper is placed atop the cooker and the appliance has a drainage at the corner to drain out excess oil. Fret not if you suffer from encavmaphobia–just sit back, relax and let the staff take over the cooking.

Raw food aside, Maru Korean BBQ Buffet also features cooked food such as Korean rice cakes, japchae and takoyaki balls. The japchae was very disappointing, but the free flow of marinated meats made up for it. All in all, Maru Korean BBQ Buffet still delivers for its economical price.

The 2-hour buffet also entitles you to unlimited iced water and fruit cordials. Do take only what you can eat as Maru Korean BBQ Buffet has a policy of charging S$50/100g for leftovers.

Weekday Lunch: S$9++ per child, S$14++ per adult
Weekday Dinner S$15++ per child, S$21++ per adult
Weekend: S$18++ per child, S$24++ per adult

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!

Here are the Best Korean BBQ Buffet Restaurants in Singapore that we love. #FoodForTheSeoul!

DON DAE BAK KOREAN BBQ RESTAURANT

I’m Kim Korean BBQ is a Korean buffet restaurant at the Singapore School Of The Arts (SOTA). The concept of the restaurant is pretty straightforward – pick from a selection of cooked food, soups, condiments, meats, drinks and more.

They have two services – one for lunch and one for dinner. The lunch service starts from S$14++ and the dinner service starts from S$22.90++. The lunch offerings is pretty similar to the night service, with the exception of a few meats and cooked dishes.

It is precisely the price and the extensive fare that will keep you going back.

We picked out a selection of cooked food and we were rather impressed.

First, we went right for the Bushimgae, or better known as Korean pancake. We were lucky enough to get a fresh batch so it was warm and very tasty.

They have a huge selection of vegetables, mushrooms and condiments for the BBQ. They have specially mixed onions and other condiments such as garlic and more. You can also grab some enoki mushrooms that are great when grilled.

Seafood is not available for lunch, but that’s fine. Let’s talk about the meats.

We tried everything they had that day, but our hearts went out to the Pork Belly and the Chuck Tender Beef.

The former is unpretentious and classic, and have it wrapped in a lettuce leaf with some sauces and you will understand the true joy of Korean BBQ. The latter was as its name suggest – very tender, even when slightly over-grilled.

Other meats you can expect here are Marinated Pork Belly, Spicy Pork Collar, Garlic Chicken and signature ‘Volcano’ Chicken. More premium meats are actually available for dinner.

The Spicy Beef Soup was satisfying with chunks of beef and vegetables, while the Samgyetang (Ginseng Chicken Soup) was slightly underwhelming.

I’m Kim Korean BBQ is certainly wallet-friendly and we can see why it is so popular. They also have special (even lower) prices for students on weekdays.

Lunch: Mon to Fri: $14++ (adult); $9++ (kid)
Sat, Sun & PH: $24++ (adult); $18++ (kid)

Dinner: Mon to Fri: $22.90++ (adult); $18++ (kid)

There are way too many Korean BBQ restaurants in Singapore, and one that we tried lately and had a good dinner at is Don Dea Bak Korean BBQ at Kreta Ayer Road.

What we love most about Don Dae Bak Korean BBQ is that the restaurant uses charcoal grill instead of the usual gasoline grill. That sure makes a lot of difference to our meats!

This small outlet is just like any usual Korean BBQ place – round communal tables that is surrounded by kimchi and pickles (free flow), all your sauces and chilli, and loud Korean pop songs on repeat mode.

Don Dae Bak Korean BBQ Restaurant goes by a all-you-can-eat buffet style, with lunch being S$21.90++ per person and dinner at S$23.90++ per person. There is an a la carte option as well, but we say skip that and just go straight for the buffet.

The buffet grants you access to lots and lots of meat. Yes, that’s how a kickass Korean BBQ should be like. Think Marinated Beef, Beef Brisket, Pork Belly, Spicy Pork Belly, Shoulder Loin, Marinated Shoulder Loin, Marinated Chicken, and Spicy Marinated Chicken – ALL.FREE.FLOW.

And the cherry on top is the pocket around the grill, where egg custard is poured and steamed egg is made. It is so simple, yet nothing short of comforting; just like the great BBQ meals we’ve had in Seoul, though more often than not, steamed egg is a complementary dish they offer to kid diners.

On top of the Korean BBQ buffet, you should also give their a la carte dishes a try, such as Spicy Seafood Tofu Soup (S$12), Kimchi Jjigae (S$12), Budae Jjigae (S$28 for 2-3 pax), Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup (S$15), Kimchi Pancake (S$18), and Spicy Rice Cake (S$7).

Of course, to neutralize the sin, we eat more kimchi to aid digestion, and we order stews to share.

But hey, life is too short to waste your calories on lousy food. We say just go all out on Korean BBQ, and party with all those damn meats! Here is our take on Singapore’s Best Korean BBQ Restaurants. You are welcome.

#1 2D1N SOJU BANG KOREAN RESTAURANT

Long queues are formed outside the Tanjong Pagar outlet daily during dinner hours. 2D1N Soju Bang Korean Restaurant may be a small outlet, but its menu sure excites. Other than the ubiquitous Beef Short Ribs (S$22 per 200g) and Pork Belly (S$18 per 200g), 2D1N has very interesting items such as Spicy Ox Tail Stew (S$40), Stir-fried Squid with Kimchi and Pork Belly (S$30) and Spicy Fish Stew (S$35).

8 Korean BBQ is a modern Korean BBQ restaurant that is famous for its 8 Colours Set (S$98) which features Mangalitza pork belly in 8 flavours – wine, original, ginseng, garlic, herb, curry, miso paste, red pepper paste. In addition to the pork belly, 8 Korean BBQ also serves USDA Prime (S$38 to S$58) and Kagoshima Wagyu (S$78 to S$110).

You should also get a Korean Stew to go along with the BBQ meat. Options include Beef Kimchi Stew (S$18), Seafood Soft Tofu Stew (S$24), but we highly recommend the Army Stew (S$24).

#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.

Nothing fanciful about this place; just your regular meats and side dishes, but we love its simplicity and how the service is very prompt.

Over on the menu, you have your usuals – Beef Rib (S$32), Pork Belly (S$21) and Black Pork (S$29). And what warmed our hearts so was the Soybean Paste Stew (S$15). It is definitely one of the best stews we’ve tried in Singapore.
