“ Ordered a dish called a pork neck stew and it was wonderful. Definitely will come back with friends. Serving size was great too. Only complaint is that they could've cooled the room better as we're eating boiling stew. ”
“ The most authentic Korean food I've ever tasted. It hits different from every korean places I've eaten before. I love their Pork Stew as it was spicy (even at low level) and the pork was super tender that melts in the mouth. I love their Chicken which was super crispy! The side dishes also tastes incredible! Just the appetizers itself can make your mouth water. You can order korean ice cream as well. The atmosphere was chill, like you're in the streets, but cold. The place was rather small but that's fine since the food was awesome. I'd definitely go back here! ”
“ Best Gamjatang place now. Their grilled meat is great too. After finishing stew, ask them to make it fried rice for full experience of Korean way to eat Gamjatang. ”
“ Finally tried @zhubajierestaurant because you can't really order just for one. The gamjatang or pork neck soup was flavorful. The spice was just right. The meat fell off the bone. We took home the soup, and had it for 3 other meals. The barbeque pork neck was spicier, but still tender. We also got cold noodles which I was able to take a photo of, but it was light and bouncy. The broth seemed like it was just water, but packed a lot of flavor. The samgyupsal platter was ok. Nothing special. The ratio of fat to pork was about 50-50. The side dishes were all delicious. You would think the kimchi flavor would be the same for everything, but no! They were all different. The leeks were spicy. The cabbage was sweet. The mixed vegetables were just right. All of them had distinct flavor profiles, and all of them were amazing. Service was fast, but was a bit difficult for those in VIP rooms as the waiters wouldn't go up often. #korean #zhubajie #malate #foodie #food ”
“ if youre looking for authentic korean food, this hits the spot first ever trying gamjatang ~ calm, savory, comfort food that's perfect for a rainy day. i just wish they had a smaller serving size cos their smallest one can actually feed a family of 4 (we had to takeout half of the order since we were only two eating lol) kimchi + radish were so goood but their pasta was perfection ”
“ Ordered the samgyupsal set. Meat cuts were thick but a little fatty. Kimchi, lettuce, and mushrooms were also included. Bacon and kimchi pajeon with cheese were also good. If you come in at 11AM to 1PM, avail the happy hour set meal. The pork bone soup is fiiirreee. Everything is a la carte except for the side dishes and unlimited soft serve ice cream. Price may be a bit steep for single diners. Servings are for 2-3 persons. ”
