I tried the Korean BBQ known for "Waiting in Hell"

1/15 Edited to

... Read moreIf you plan to visit Song Gye Ok, here’s what I learned from my experience that might help you enjoy it even more. Firstly, prepare for a queue—this place is truly popular for a reason. The atmosphere while waiting actually builds anticipation for their specialty dishes, especially the signature grill platter. This platter features a variety of chicken parts like heart, neck, and thigh grilled to perfection over charcoal. I found the chicken heart to be a revelation—delightfully chewy and juicy in a way that’s rarely experienced at other BBQ joints. The side dishes complement the grilled chicken nicely. Their cheongguk doenjang stew has a strong earthy taste with a hint of spiciness from kimchi that balances the richness of the meat. The bibim noodles are light and refreshing, which is perfect to balance the hearty dishes. Also, don't miss the Uiseong garlic fried rice; it’s flavorful but not overpowering, allowing the chicken’s natural flavors to stand out. For anyone new to Korean BBQ or grilled chicken specialties, I suggest going with friends or family to share various platters and sides. It enhances the experience and lets you taste more variety. Also, ordering a mix of spicy and non-spicy dishes can keep your palate refreshed throughout. Finally, the location at 113 Telok Ayer St is quite accessible, making it a convenient stop if you’re exploring Singapore’s dining scene. Just remember, the wait can be long, but if you enjoy well-prepared Korean grilled chicken with authentic flavors, it’s worth every minute. Would I go back again? Definitely! The unique cuts and skillful charcoal grilling make this a must-try for Korean BBQ enthusiasts and foodies alike.

Had my first taste of Song Gye Ok and I'm still thinking about the chicken heart and thigh — so juicy and flavourful. Even the breast meat was impressively tender. The sides were comforting and balanced out the smoky richness of the grilled cuts so well. Just a heads up: it gets pretty warm an

📍 Best KBBQ in Seoul (no cap)
I found this spot on Naver Map with crazy high reviews, and wow… this is hands down my best KBBQ experience in Seoul. And I’m not exaggerating — I’ve tried a lot of KBBQ places here, but this one hits different. ✨ We ordered their signature beef & pork set, and they were NOT here to play.
