SODENG - THE VINTAGE BBQ (TELOK AYER)

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.

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!

Had an amazing dining at Sodeng, esp with their woodae galbi (beef). The beef here is exceptional tender, and packed with flavour; the cuts were also leaning towards the premium end. Our server prepared it in 5 different ways, each with a unique taste profile, making it feel like a beef omakase experience 😆 We also tried the marinated duck and pork collar, but they didn’t leave as strong an impression as the galbi. The banchan selection here is quite special too. Unlike the usual restaurant, Sodeng offers washed white kimchi which was crisp and refreshing, perfect for pairing or eating on its own. They also have a spicy “ginseng looking” radish kimchi that’s absolutely delicious. Service was exceptional! Our Korean server grilled the meat to perfection and explained each beef preparation. He even gave us complimentary seaweed soup, which was freshly made, as we were celebrating 3 May babies’ birthdays. It was a thoughtful gesture, and the soup was fantastic, leaving us quite an impression. Other add ons: Spicy cold noodles, Finish course - fried rice We will return for the quality woodae galbi and the great service! Do come visit if you want a great place for gathering and quality kbbq!

Wonderful dinner experience here. Came down tonight with my family to celebrate my birthday. Had the pork belly, the beef rib, pork collar, spicy cold noodles and the pot fried rice. Our server Andree served us with wonderful attention, making the dishes in multiple ways to enjoy the meal with different wraps sauces and meals. Throughout the whole meal I felt super cared for with Andree checking up on us constantly without interrupting, cooking all the dishes and topping up on water when we're low. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and will definitely want to come back again.

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.

Hands 🙌 down BEST KOREAN Restaurant!!! Came for the lunch and was really satisfied! There’s 3 items on the lunch menu at an offer now! 🥹 I love the side dishes and the staff will even ask if the dish wants to be shared!! They will half the dish and portion into separate bowls! The service is 💯

If you're craving authentic Korean samgyeopsal, Sodeng Singapore is a must-visit! The pork belly is fresh, thick-cut, and grilled to perfection right at your table. The side dishes are generous and flavorful, and the staff is attentive and friendly. The atmosphere feels like you're dining in Korea. Highly recommend for a satisfying Korean BBQ experience!

Galbi beef was amazing. Marinated duck was good but I think id return just for the beef only. Pork spicy stew was actually spicy (coming from a spice lover) lol. Great service throughout too.
