SODENG - THE VINTAGE BBQ (TELOK AYER)

i was craving for marinated short rib so I googled for it. I guess I’m lucky I found this place! Officially my top favourite for marinated short rib. Our service staff/ cook Mary cooked the meat and vegetables really well! She even cut off the fats for us and went extra mile to change a part of it to new piece as she felt that there wasn’t any meat (which was really nice of her). 🥹 The whole dining experience was beyond expectation. The side dishes provided are not usually seen in other restaurants. (White kimchi, peppercorn, homemade soy bean paste etc) We got to try different ways of eating it. (With white kimchi, perilla leaves, onion and more) Oh, and I also ordered the kimchi cold noodles that was really refreshing! The probably downside of dining here was the oil splattering xD it hurts hahahahaha but it’s worth it! That’s how good the ribs was. We will definitely be back with our friends 😍

It was a very enjoyable time.　My friend who is also a hair stylist introduced me to this restaurant for the first time, and I really wanted to go back. He introduced us to many ways to eat as well as service. I always eat the same way with Korean BBQ, so I learned a lot!

The beef was incredible — tender and full of flavour. Great service from Aaron who grilled the meat and showed us different ways to eat it. Kimchi stew was also rich and flavourful. Highly recommend!

First time visiting this place, recommend by my close friend. Foods & Drinks was good, Is very good place for friends to chill out. Menu goes by sets as different sections, Beef, Pork Belly, Duck,Chicken meats. Once u seated will be serving side dishes, caesar salad. Highly recommended this place, better make a reservations 😅 always crowded..

Tried lunch menu and it was good. Portion was quite big for me to finish by my own. When it served, the staff cut spring onions and made 2 wraps of meats which was great. Only, there wasn’t enough time to finish my meal due to the guests who made reservations. I was embarrassed that they urged to out in a polite manner as soon as they informed even though there wasn’t any notice when we were walking in. I would have given 5star if it was informed us when we walked in at least.

Easily one of the best kbbq I’ve ever had! The meat was amazing, especially the aged pork, but the beef rib was fantastic too, excellent marbling! Our host, Keita from Vietnam was extremely skilled with her cooking, nothing was overcooked and her service was sincere and heartwarming! The drinks were also great, we tried the Bokbunja highball and Omija ade, and both went very well with the food! Although the tofu stew was abit too thick, it was chock full of ingredients like clams, mushrooms and spring onions which made it value for money. The stir fried rice at the end was fabulous, made with the leftover meat off the rib bone. We requested to keep the bone for our doxxies and they were nice enough to wrap it up in aluminium foil for us! 5 stars and will definitely come back again!

Visited on a weekday evening. Restaurant got wifi. The restaurant is strict about punctuality — arriving early doesn’t guarantee early seating, as tables are only available once the previous diners have left. Be sure to arrive exactly on time for your reservation The dinner menu is relatively limited. Pancakes aren’t served here, as the restaurant focuses primarily on showcasing its BBQ expertise. The staff handles the entire BBQ process from start to finish, offering various combinations of seasonings and a good selection of banchan to complement the meal. Personally, I found the beef BBQ more flavorful than the pork. The pork kimchi soup was hearty but a little lacking in depth of flavor. Special mention to staff member Risa, who provided outstanding service and engaged warmly with guests — a lovely touch that made the dining experience even more enjoyable.

everyone knows sodeng for their duck, but honestly… the marinated beef ribs stole the show 🥩🔥 the staff grills the meat for you & even walks you through the different ways to pair it. what really stood out were the SIDES — not your usual banchan in SG, think: whole peppercorns, white kimchi, marinated perilla leaves (my FAVE — I asked for more🥹), melted cheese, & even condensed milk🤯 a great spot for gatherings, end your meal with their heart-shaped kimchi fried rice 🫶🏻🤭 Reccos: Marinated beef ribs YAS🍳🍳🍳 OKK NAH
