1. Seoul Garden HOTPOT
Seoul Garden has been an OG restaurant offering halal Korean food in Singapore, even before the K-wave hit our nation. At their sister chain Seoul Garden HOTPOT, you can tuck into affordable Korean mains sorted into three main categories: Soup & Stew, Rice & Japchae, and Hot Plate. Highlights include Kimchi Beef Hotpot ($16++), featuring beef short plate slices, mushrooms, rice cakes and more, served in a mini hotpot. The Bulgogi Lamb ($17.90++) is another signature, starring marinated Australian-imported lamb shoulder stir-fried with veggies, doused in a spicy sauce.
From our Seoul Garden HOTPOT review: “Overall, I had a good experience here at Seoul Garden HOTPOT. The food was above my expectations and we were amazed by how affordable and tasty the food here was.

From our Captain Kim Korean BBQ & Hotpot review: “I can say with absolute certainty that their meats are on point and the stars of the show. Their Honey Chicken was tender and had a nice, fruity aftertaste. The marinade that went into the Bulgogi Beef was superb, as we could taste the mix of sweet and sour flavours, even at its centre.”
