Um Yong Baek

This place is probably one of the best Korean food that I have eaten for the year. Got lucky with a walked-in. The atmosphere really vibes. Highly recommended for small group of friends or maybe around 5 ppl. Reason being that the grill is centered among everybody. We are a group of 4 so we ordered the medium set with the truffle mushrooms. Half not expecting there will be someone servicing and cook for us so this experience is kinda nice. Our server, Lee is service oriented and he really knows his stuff on the meat and which meat pairing to go to. At the end of the serving, we are really full. In conclusion, Service: 10/10 Food: 10/10 Price: 9/10 (is definitely on the pricier end but the service made up for it) *Disclaimer: my own experience. For full experience do give it a try.

One of the best restaurant in singapore. Great food. Great ambience. Perfect experience from booking to being welcome warmly by the manager, to getting order up to cooking and until we finish eating. Great experience to spend a busy monday after work with this restaurant I really feel pampered and well taken care of by the entire staff. Specially by Dan the manager and the server Tina who attended out order. I will go back here and invite my friends cause it is worth every penny. Grilled mushrooms are to die for. We ordered the pork meal set and it was a blast. The sauce blend perfectly. It was a level up experience of what we usually go to in a kbbq resto.

First time here & most usually go for the standard sets just S, M or L. We went for the S for 2 persons, 4 mushrooms & a kimchi soup, but it was too much for us already. The kimchi soup has to be one of the best I've had, but the meat sets are ok. Service was very good & a guy was helping us cook everything then making sure we tried all variations of eating the meat. Their sides are not the usual sides at most Korean bbq places & its mostly veggies. Overall, it's not too bad & feels more healthy.

⸻ Celebrating my birthday at Um Yong Baek was a wonderful experience. The food was excellent, and the service from the manager and staff was truly outstanding. What made it even more special was the personalized experience, as the food was freshly cooked for us. From the moment we entered, we felt a warm and genuine welcome, especially from Dan at the entrance. He greeted and served all guests with sincerity and kindness, which immediately made us feel comfortable and valued. We were truly delighted and happy to celebrate at your restaurant. Kudos to the entire team. The staff’s happiness clearly reflects how well management takes care of them, and this positive environment truly enhances the overall customer experience.

Authentic Korean comfort food done right! This Korean rice soup place is such a gem. The dishes taste truly authentic, and you can tell they put real care into the flavours. The kimchi and small side dishes are perfect — fresh, balanced, and super satisfying. Highly recommend the cold noodles with perfectly grilled pork neck — the combination of chewy noodles and smoky, tender pork is amazing. The bone soup rice with spring onion is another standout: it looks light but is actually very hearty and filling, with a rich, comforting broth that warms you up instantly. Also, a small tip: make a reservation if you can, otherwise you might end up waiting quite a while for a table, especially during peak hours. And note that BBQ is only available for dinner.

I recently dined here with a friend and was very impressed. The pork collar, belly, and jowl were all particularly delicious. It was quite crowded when we arrived, but fortunately, we had made a reservation ($20 per person). This allowed us to avoid the queue. The restaurant was visually appealing and had a welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely return to eat more and explore their lunch menu, which is separate from the dinner offerings. 😋

Had a fantastic dining experience at Um Yong Baek Korean Restaurant! The pork BBQ was of very high quality! Juicy, tender, and full of flavour. The griller was extremely patient and took the time to share how to enjoy the meat with different sauces and combinations, which made the experience even better. Service was excellent throughout the meal. Definitely a place we’ll return to again. Highly recommended!

BBQ collar is tender and fresh, well balanced amount of fats. Nicely grilled and can feel the bouncy meat. Pork jowl is good too. The cold buckwheat noodles is really refreshing after the BBQ, very good combination. The soup is light, savoury + sweet and the beef slice is really tender. I enjoyed it. Wanted to try the pork soup but only available during lunch. Price on the high side. I appreciate the flask of free flow ice water on the table and free top up of salad. The barley with fermented bean (I think) is tasty. Anchovy is nice too, but too spicy for me. Will be back to try the sliced pork soup
