Halal Korean food in Singapore
Whether it is army stew, K-BBQ, or hotplates of bulgolgi and bibimbap, Korean food is one of our go-to options when dining out, especially with friends. But while it’s easy to find Korean restaurants in Singapore, Muslim-friendly and halal options can be hard to come by. That’s why we’ve compiled the best halal Korean food places in Singapore for you to check out.
1. Kimchi Mama
Kimchi Mama checks all the boxes of a decent Korean restaurant in Singapore in terms of taste, price, and location. Conveniently located at Bugis+, the popular eatery offers eight variations of hotstone dishes. We tried the Hotstone Kimchi Beef Steak Rice ($14.90++), featuring rice topped with beef steak slices, aged kimchi, shredded seaweed, and a raw egg yolk. Our favourite item, though, was the Kimchi Mama Stew Pot ($25.90++), ideal for three to four diners. We really enjoyed the flavour-packed broth, which came with lots of fresh ingredients.
From our Kimchi Mama review: “This kimchi stew is made with both fresh and cooked kimchi to achieve a richer and more piquant flavour. It’s brimming with fresh clams, thin beef slices, enoki mushrooms, tofu, chives, and glass noodles. I recommend sharing the stew with two or three friends, alongside bowls of plain rice to mix the broth with.”
Address: 201 Victoria Street, #04-11, Bugis+, Singapore 188067
Opening hours: Daily 11:30am to 10pm

2. 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, including stew, noodles, and hotplates. Highlights include Wagyu Beef Hot Pot ($22++), featuring premium Wagyu submerged in a flavour-packed broth. The Bulgogi Lamb Hot Plate ($17.90++) is another signature, served with marinated lamb meat stir-fried with veggies and doused in a savoury 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. The relaxed, casual atmosphere, good food, and impeccable service are definitely reasons why we would come back.”

Do note that at least two diners should be present to enjoy these pies.
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.”

Namu Bulgogi, dubbed the first oakwood smoke-grill Korean restaurant in Singapore, has three outlets at the time of writing. Since the chain is known for smoky, charred flavours, we recommend the 2-in-1 Oakwood Smoke-Grilled Chicken with Corn Cheese ($15.90++). It’s the perfect combination of sweet and savoury flavours, but if you’d like something punchier, the signature Oakwood Smoke-Grilled Oxtail ($23.90++) is the way to go. P.S. The meat is slow-cooked for eight hours for a fork-tender mouthfeel!
