Offering a dining environment inspired by Korean drama, the decor changes every six months, keeping the experience fresh for returning diners. They also offer free popcorn for diners waiting in line!
From now until October 2025, the restaurant is decked out in Squid Game-inspired elements — think the staff being in green and pink uniforms, and familiar symbols from the popular series.
Enjoy A Semi-Buffet Experience with a Korean Twist
One of the most exciting parts of dining at Korea Culture is the semi-buffet format. Order any main course and you’ll gain access to over 50 rotating options of free-flow banchan — traditional Korean side dishes that elevate any meal.
From kimchi and pickled radish to spicy tofu and crunchy seaweed salad, there’s something for every palate.
Other than a variety of banchan, there is also a salad bar and a wide selection of hot foods such as fried dumplings, japchae, and egg omelettes.
We really enjoyed the selection of buffet items for it’s variety and the taste of the majority of the dishes were good.
That’s not all — each meal also includes free flow of drinks and unlimited Häagen-Dazs ice cream. Yes, unlimited. It’s a sweet deal and a great way to end a hearty meal, especially if you’re dining with little ones or simply have a sweet tooth.
Affordable Mains That Don’t Compromise on Quality
Despite its generous offerings, Korea Culture’s prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of ingredients and the added buffet perks.
There are eight mains to choose from and each main comes with the free flow banchan, dessert and drink buffet.
Korea Ginseng Chicken ($48.80) – A traditional dish known as samgyetang, this nourishing broth features a whole chicken simmered with Korean ginseng and herbs.
It’s a comforting choice that’s both flavourful and revitalising. This portion is best for sharing and was one of the dishes that we enjoyed.
Salmon Bibimbap ($25.80) – A well-loved Korean classic that comes with marinated salmon, mixed vegetables and a fried egg.
There is also an alternative option of beef and chicken available.
We enjoyed this although we wished that there was a tad bit more sauce given in the meals, but when enjoyed with the various banchans, it was just right.
Fish & Chips with Gochujang Butter ($24.80) – A fusion of East and West, this dish features crispy battered fish served with a punchy gochujang-infused butter inspired by a popular Korean chef’s creation.
Fried Chicken Korean Spicy Sauce ($24.50) – Crispy fried chicken coated in a tangy, spicy glaze and topped with sesame seeds. Great for those who like a little kick without overwhelming spice. The fried chicken is also available in a non-spicy Korean Soy Sauce option.
Grilled Lamb Rack ($42.90) – This one’s for when you’re in the mood for something a little more filling. The lamb is grilled until it’s soft enough to cut through easily, and the bulgogi-inspired sauce gives it a slightly sweet, garlicky edge flavour
Army Stew ($46.80) – A true representation of Korea’s bold flavours, this dish consists of the classic noodles, tofu, spam, rice cakes, sausages, kimchi, and more. It’s meant for sharing and is great on a cooler day or if you just want something hearty.
Families will also appreciate the various kids meal options which are child-friendly portions crafted for smaller appetites in popular and well-loved dishes such as a hamburger set.
With its satisfying portions, kid-friendly options, and interesting atmosphere, this semi-buffet experience at Korea Culture is the perfect outing for families looking to try something different. From little foodies to K-drama lovers, there’s something here for everyone to enjoy – right here in Singapore.
