[2025 Singapore Restaurant] Travel Guide for Um Yong Baek (Updated May)

In the heart of downtown Singapore, there is a very popular Korean barbecue restaurant, Um Yong Baek, that always has a really long queue! They specialize in premium cuts of meat and authentic Korean flavours. The staff will barbecue the meats that you have ordered right in front of you, so you eat it straight off the grill. One of their famous dishes you have to try is the Busan-style dwaeji gukbap, basically Korean pork broth with rice. Prices aren’t cheap though, but it was worth the splurge! My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #letsmakan #100waysoftravel #singapore #tripmoments #tripblazers

#singaporetrip Nestled on Boon Tat Street, Um Yong Baek is a Korean gem serving up hearty, traditional Busan-style dishes. By day, the spotlight is on dwaeji gukbap—a rich pork and rice soup simmered for over 8 hours, available in both clear (Busan-style) and milky (Milyang-style) broths with tender pork cuts. Come evening, the restaurant transforms into a premium BBQ spot, offering expertly aged cuts like five-layered ohgyeopsal and marinated pork neck grilled to juicy perfection. The minimalist, cosy interior, and attentive staff make the experience even more memorable. #BusanBitesSG #KBBQHeaven #UmYongBaekSG #PorkPerfection
