Togi Korean Restaurant
Offering one of the most authentic samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) in Singapore, Togi Korean Restaurant is a place we would recommend if you've been longing for some traditional Korean dishes to whet your appetite. The soondubuchigae is another must-try dish in this family restaurant.

Big Mama Korean Food
Big Mama prides itself on its dakgalbi as one of its specialty dishes, which is essentially pan-fried chicken, vegetables, rice cake and sweet potato mixed together in spicy sauce. Another specialty is suyuk, pork belly served with a few side garnishes and sauces. The authenticity of the restaurant is probably what attracts native Koreans to frequent this place!

Kko Kko Na Ra
This spot is a favourite among KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) lovers. Come here to indulge in some spicy fried chicken and watermelon soju, or even traditional classics like budae jjigae (army stew). Open until 3am from Mondays to Saturdays, Kko Kko Na Ra is here to satisfy your supper cravings as well!

Kimchi Korean Restaurant
Kimchi Korean Restaurant aims to provide authentic Korean food at affordable prices. Try the Ginseng Chicken juk (porridge) or the Nakji Seafood Dduk Bokgi for some home-cooked comfort food. You'll be glad to know that the restaurant now offers free-flow banchan (Korean side dishes) buffet style via their banchan bar!

This is a restaurant that the MFA team frequents, so we can assure you that you'll be met only with good, authentic Korean food. We especially love the assortment of Korean pancakes that this restaurant offers, so do be sure to order some when you're there.
