A Contemporary Take on Korean Barbecue by the Team Behind Seoul Restaurant

Seoul & So is created by the same award-winning team behind Seoul Restaurant at Conrad Singapore Orchard, with the concept led by the Rhee siblings. The restaurant builds on traditional Korean barbecue foundations while introducing a more energetic and modern dining format designed for both casual visits and group gatherings.

Guests can choose between à la carte selections and tasting menus structured for sharing, allowing flexibility depending on the occasion.

Premium Meats Anchor the Dining Experience

The menu highlights a range of premium cuts that reflect both Korean barbecue traditions and international sourcing. Diners can expect selections such as Hanwoo beef and Handon pork from Korea, alongside Japanese and Australian wagyu, USDA Prime beef, and Iberico pork.

Weekday set lunches start from $35, offering a more accessible way to experience the restaurant during daytime visits, while dinner service focuses on a broader selection of meats and sharing options.

Dedicated grilling stations keep the experience interactive without taking over the entire table, allowing guests to enjoy the ritual of Korean barbecue while still staying engaged in conversation.
