THE MOST RIDICULOUS FNB PRCTICE. THE PRICE OF YOUR KOREAN BBQ IS ALREADY CONSIDERED EXPENSIVE THEN YOU STILL CHARGE FOR 2SGD FOR 🌊 WATER! THE RIDICULOUSNESS OF THIS RESTAURANT IS IN THE NEXT LEVEL!
IF YOU CHOKE WHILE EATING HERE YOU WILL DIE WAN!
STAY AWAY! FROM THIS PLACE THE TASTE OF BBQ IS NOT THERE ALSO TO JUSTIFY THE PRICE!

Food is ok and I love that it is cooked for you. Kimchi is really nice and packs a punch. Meat is pretty average to be honest. Sides are good and refillable even though there's really no need too. Jap chae and kimchi stew is good better than most. Yuza Makgeolli is very refreshing though hardly feel any alcohol which may not be a bad thing. Overall food is pretty good and service excellent.

$10.90++ lunch set available at this restaurant.
Jun 2025 - came back to 8 BBQ for their 8 pork belly and the quality is good and love the pork belly with all the unlimited sides. The flavorful pork belly wrapped with lettuce is indeed mouth watering. Can consider to come back again for the pork belly when there is craving for korean meats

Had a great dining experience at 8 Korean BBQ at Clarke Quay Central! 🌟 The service was fantastic — attentive, friendly, and efficient. The dishes were excellent, with generous portions that left us more than satisfied. We especially appreciated how the place wasn’t too crowded, making the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable.
Only thing to note: it can be a little tricky to find the restaurant at first, but it’s absolutely worth the effort. Highly recommend for anyone craving quality Korean BBQ in a comfortable setting!
