This is so bad. I don't know why the food in this outlet tasted so bland! And the grill was not hot, as it always is when I go to the other outlets. I'm so disappointed with this. I'm not sure why the Indian guy at the counter wasn't marinating the food well! So, so bad. Unlike the Bugis and Northpoint outlets, those were so good! I took the premium items and topped up more, but gotten this. I had to add my own seasoning to make it taste better. I shouldn't have come here.

Visited their newly renovated outlet @ IMM for the first time. From my recollection, the restaurant's atmosphere was slightly better than before, but I felt it was not very clean on the day I was there.
The food was decent, but nothing particularly memorable. I ordered the soon dubu at the spiciest level, but sadly it was not spicy at all. That said, the portion size was huge, and the free-flow side dishes were fairly good.

I tried the hotpot set this afternoon. The service and the staff were great.
One downside was the wagyu beef, which was very chewy and I was unable to swallow. I hope the management could look into this. Overall, the soup and hot stone rice were great.

Our dinner here was a good one. The food was superb and the service was okay. The variety of meats, seafood, and side dishes was satisfying, and everything was great. We enjoyed grilling at the table, and the soups were flavourful too. The place was clean and well-organised, though it can get a little busy during peak hours. Overall, this is a nice spot for gatherings if you’re craving Korean BBQ and hotpot together. The crew, Irene and Sharon, were also helpful and accommodating.

As someone who’s always looking for great spots to recommend to my community, Seoul Garden Singapore
As someone who’s always looking for great spots to recommend to my community, Seoul Garden Singapore is an easy YES. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and the unmistakable sizzle of marinated meats — heaven.
But what truly made my experience unforgettable? Winnie Sow. Her service was next-level — attentive without being overbearing, super knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone was well taken care of. You can tell she loves what she does, and it shows. Winnie is the kind of crew member who elevates your whole dining experience.
Whether you’re coming with friends for a feast or content hunting for the next foodie gem, Seoul Garden delivers — but if you’re lucky enough to be served by Winnie, it’s a game-changer. Be

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience at Seoul Garden! The staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient throughout our meal. The food was delicious, although the smoked duck was a bit on the salty side, but the service made the entire dining experience even better. Thank you for maintaining such high standards — I’ll definitely be coming back again with my family! Special thanks to Crystal for her special sauce, it was delicious, and also Evan for his service, ensuring we had a great experience throughout our meal. Thanks Crystal and Evan! Hope to see you again. :)

Seoul Garden Northpoint has been here throughout my childhood, and it's nice to know the standards have improved with their new grill system. Previous visits, I had to bring extra clothes because of how strong the smell was, but now with their new grill system, there is little smell even if their marination on the meat is strong.
Extra kudos to Staff Irene, Staff Mimi, and Manager Evan for being so friendly and constantly making rounds. I didn't need to look long to ask for any help. If you have thick skin like me, you might want to see if you have the chance to meet Irene. She handmade a dipping sauce for us which tasted absolutely amazing, a great combination to the already tasty meat.
If you're wondering what's good on the menu, I really like the ready-to-eat food. I know it's a buffet, but I appreciate that they don't decrease the standard for the cooked food. Pity they don't have coriander nor sesame oil for dipping.

Coming from a service and hospitality background myself, I really enjoyed how Ethan took the extra step to mix a sauce that was indeed very nice. I think that's what makes a place more enjoyable. Thanks, Ethan (red shirt)!
