5 Best Bbq Restaurants in Singapore (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Tanjong Pagar's grills are already smoking by 7pm on a Friday, and the good tables go fast. The five bbq restaurants in Singapore on this page have logged 24,611 Google reviews between them, with ratings bunched tight between 4.6 and 4.8, so the real difference is what each kitchen actually specializes in, not who is better.

Short answer: O.BBa BBQ takes the top spot with a 4.8 rating across 5,515 Google reviews, thanks to staff-run table-side grilling and thick-cut samgyeopsal in Tanjong Pagar. I'm Kim Korean BBQ pulls the biggest crowd (6,778 reviews at 4.6) with a weekday lunch buffet near $19++, while Hanjip at Clarke Quay is the pick for a wagyu-grade group night. Budget roughly $30 to $70 a head for an a la carte dinner.

The five we'd book tonight

O.BBa BBQ

4.85,515 Google reviews

O.BBa BBQ has been grilling in Tanjong Pagar since 2012 and bills itself as Singapore's No.1 Korean restaurant brand. It's a table-side Korean BBQ house where staff cook your meat for you, built around a signature thick-cut pork belly and a dry-aged meat display right by the entrance. Free-flow banchan, a Flying Fish Roe rice ball and a scoop of free ice cream on the way out round out the meal. The kitchen runs late, to midnight every day.

What people praise

  • Staff handle the grilling from start to finish, so nothing overcooks
  • Thick, tender pork belly (samgyeopsal) that regulars call the signature
  • Generous banchan that gets refilled quickly
  • Strong ventilation, so very little smoke while you grill
  • Thoughtful touches like free ice cream and birthday extras

Worth knowing

  • No reservations, so expect a queue at peak hours
  • Leans toward adult gatherings, and child seats can be limited

#2🕑 Open 7 days

I'm Kim Korean BBQ

4.66,778 Google reviews

I'm Kim Korean BBQ has run its buffet near Dhoby Ghaut since 2014, inside the School of the Arts a short walk from the MRT. The draw is volume and value: marinated pork belly, short ribs, ribeye and volcano chicken, plus a cooked-food counter with its signature fried chicken wings, tteokbokki and kimchi fried rice. The room is loud, lively and wrapped in K-pop screens. A weekday lunch buffet sits under $20++.

What people praise

  • Weekday lunch buffet lands under $20++, tough to beat downtown
  • Wide spread of proteins plus cooked dishes and free-flow sides
  • Signature Korean chicken wings that regulars single out
  • Lively, casual atmosphere that suits big groups
  • Central, five minutes from Dhoby Ghaut MRT

Worth knowing

  • A 90-minute dining cap and a two-diner minimum apply
  • Ventilation can leave a smoky smell on your clothes
  • Gets very loud during peak weekend shifts

Our take: It has the most reviews here, 6,778 of them, but sits at #2 because its 4.6 rating trails O.BBa's 4.8. Best if you want maximum variety and value with a group.

Hanjip Korean Grill House logo
#3🕑 Open 7 days

Hanjip Korean Grill House

4.84,520 Google reviews

Hanjip Korean Grill House sits at Clarke Quay and is one of the largest Korean BBQ rooms in Singapore, with private rooms for gatherings. It leans premium: a Hanjip platter of USDA Prime ribeye, boneless short rib and kurobuta pork belly, plus wagyu options, cold noodles and pot rice. Staff grill everything for you, and the ventilation is good enough that you leave without smelling of smoke. Ongoing promos include a complimentary wagyu oyster blade with a Chope reservation.

What people praise

  • Staff grill your meat, with minimal lingering smoke
  • Spacious with private rooms, good for larger gatherings
  • Premium cuts including wagyu and USDA Prime
  • Regular promos: Chope wagyu, birthday A5, weekend kids-eat-free
  • Balanced menu beyond BBQ, from carpaccio to bingsu

Worth knowing

  • Premium dinner pricing, with some diners reporting $100+ a head
  • It's a big, busy room, so peak times fill up fast

Flower Pig 360 꽃돼지360 | Tanjong Pagar Flagship

4.84,456 Google reviews

Flower Pig 360 is an aged-meat specialist on Tanjong Pagar Road, blending Korean BBQ with a steakhouse streak. Staff grill the sets for you, portioned two people at a time so you can work through different cuts, and the free side dishes keep coming, from beansprouts to a well-liked steamed egg. The real quirk is the hours: the kitchen runs until 5am, so it's one of the few genuine late-night BBQ options in the district.

What people praise

  • Aged-meat sets that regulars call tender and juicy
  • Free, refillable side dishes including a standout steamed egg
  • Attentive staff who portion and grill for you
  • Open extremely late, to 5am every day
  • Two-person sets make it easy to sample cuts

Worth knowing

  • Parking around Tanjong Pagar can be tricky
  • Reservations are recommended at busy times

Omma Korean Charcoal BBQ

4.63,342 Google reviews

Omma Korean Charcoal BBQ sits on Lor Mambong in Holland Village and grills over charcoal rather than gas, with a range of woods and a chef's list that runs to marinated beef ribs and Iberico pork jowl. It's a cosy, contemporary room that's also pet-friendly, with outdoor seating and fans, and a running free-flow beer promotion at a minimum spend per person. Small courtesies show up in the reviews, like staff packing leftovers with an ice pack.

What people praise

  • Charcoal-grilled premium pork and beef with several salt options
  • Pet-friendly, with comfortable outdoor seating and fans
  • Free-flow beer promotion at a set spend per person
  • Thoughtful staff who help with grilling and pack leftovers
  • Cosy Holland Village setting away from the CBD crowds

Worth knowing

  • Service can slow when the room is full and understaffed
  • Outdoor tables occasionally miss a round of side dishes

Watch: 5 Best Bbq Restaurants in Singapore (2026)

How we ranked them

We start with the live Google rating, then weigh it against review volume, how many diners actually rated each place. Confidence blends the two, so a high score on thousands of reviews outranks a high score on a handful. Recency checks that people are still reviewing recently, not years ago. No restaurant can pay to change these numbers.

What does Korean BBQ cost in Singapore? (2026)

Price swings on format more than anything: an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet is the cheapest way in, while a la carte dinners with premium or wagyu cuts climb fast. Free-flow banchan is standard, so most of your bill is the meat.

JobTypical price
Weekday lunch buffet (per person)$19 - $30
A la carte BBQ set, dinner (per person)$30 - $70
Premium or wagyu dinner (per person)$70 - $100+

Prices compiled July 2026 from the restaurants’ published menus, including I’m Kim’s sub-$20++ weekday lunch buffet, and diner-reported per-person spend on Google reviews. Prices in SGD.

Where to find them across Singapore

The heaviest cluster is Tanjong Pagar, home to O.BBa and Flower Pig 360, with Hanjip at Clarke Quay, I’m Kim near Dhoby Ghaut, and Omma out in Holland Village. If you’re searching Korean BBQ near me from the CBD, Tanjong Pagar puts two of our top picks within a few minutes’ walk of each other.

Worth checking before you book a table

  • Do they take reservations, or is it walk-in only at peak times?
  • Is there a dining time limit, like a 90-minute cap?
  • Does staff grill for you, or is it self-serve?
  • Is there a minimum number of paying diners per table?
  • Are the banchan side dishes free-flow and refillable?
  • How’s the ventilation if you’d rather not leave smelling of smoke?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data, the live rating and review volume. A restaurant can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another restaurant’s score or position.

How did you choose these five?

We compared every Korean BBQ restaurant in Singapore with a real Google track record, then ranked by rating weighted against review volume and how recently people are still reviewing. Nothing here is self-reported by the restaurants.

Which is the most affordable?

I’m Kim Korean BBQ, whose weekday lunch buffet sits under $20++ per person. A la carte dinners at the other spots run higher, especially with premium or wagyu cuts.

Which is best for a big group or celebration?

Hanjip at Clarke Quay is the most spacious and has private rooms, while O.BBa and Flower Pig 360 both handle groups well with two-person sets that make sharing easy.

How often is this list updated?

We last verified the ratings and review counts in July 2026 and refresh them as the Google data changes.

The bottom line

For most people, O.BBa BBQ is the safe default: a 4.8 on thousands of reviews, staff who grill for you and little smoke. If you’re feeding a crowd on a budget, book I’m Kim’s buffet instead, and go early on a weekday to skip the queue.
