Seoul Garden Tampines Mall brings 35 years of Korean barbecue excellence to Singapore's eastern region, serving as one of the few halal-certified Korean restaurants that has become a beloved household name for affordable, family-friendly Korean dining experiences. Established in 1983, Seoul Garden pioneered the Korean barbecue buffet concept in Singapore, consistently delivering authentic Korean flavors through their signature 2-in-1 smokeless grill system and carefully crafted Korean-Asian marinades.
Located on Level 4 of Tampines Mall, the restaurant specializes in all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue and steamboat buffet featuring signature marinated meats including bulgogi chicken, beef slices, and char siew chicken. Their innovative seafood offerings include the Modern Korean Paella, showcasing fresh mussels, prawns, squid, and clams served over flavored rice that absorbs all the seafood's natural goodness.
Seoul Garden maintains its commitment to family-oriented dining with special programs including complimentary kids buffets on Sundays and senior citizen concessions. The restaurant's halal certification makes Korean barbecue accessible to Singapore's diverse Muslim community, while their smokeless grill technology ensures a comfortable dining environment for all guests.
Operating daily from 11:30am to 10:30pm, Seoul Garden Tampines Mall continues to serve as a celebration destination where families and friends gather to enjoy interactive Korean dining experiences. The restaurant combines traditional Korean cooking methods with modern amenities, supporting Singapore's love for Korean culture and cuisine in an inclusive, welcoming environment.
Mr Haroon did us his sauce to let us try. That was really extra mile & good service was with all the other staffs. Maintain the standard & keep up the good standards that Seoul garden is having right now.

I was impressed that they have an online booking that works. It would send you both SMS and emails for bookings. Then another SMS would be sent as reminder on day of reservation. They held an SG60 promotion for seniors at 6++ for Tues from May to June. This is easily the best deal in town. Final price after service and tax was 7.20 SGD. You would get a soup based pot and a hot plate to use. Multiple soup based were available to choose from. There were three non spicy and three spicy. You would have to decide at cashier and made payment before dining. They allowed payment via LifeSg which I saw later. I made payment via credit card.
The spread was good with multiple types of marinated meats like chicken, beef and small amount of lamb. There was also seafood like prawns, marinated tom yum prawn, lala, mussels, squids, dory fish etc. There was also vegetable, enoki and Maggi mee, etc White rice was available too. It was my first time there after like 20 years. Not too sure what to do. Many diners appeared to be regulars knowing what to take to add flavours to their soup. There was also french fries, a cooked dish with quail eggs and Korean rice cakes in Korean paste. Also got a cooked prawn and mussels dish. The cooked dishes were kept small as probably not many people would touch it.
A dining slot seemed to be two hours. It was just about right although I am a slow eater and have to cook and eat faster. The only hiccup I encountered was the coffee machine dispensing black coffee when I chose latte. I told a blue shirt part timer, he told me to wait and he went to inform a red shirt cashier (Not Evan). The red shirt looked busy and didn't follow up. After drinking the kopi O kosong which was supposed to be latte, I switched to Teh Terik. The teh terik was working although it was rather sweet. Before this a red shirt Evan came to ask if we wanted to switch off the grill and steamboat. My friend and I agreed that this was a sign to tell us to leave.
While drinking up my tea, red shirt Evan came to chat with us again, asking if we enjoyed the session and that the promotion was very good. I fedback to him about the coffee machine. He went to examine and I saw him adding creamer into the machine. My friend and I established that the chatting was a signal for us to leave. I quickly finished up my drink and was getting ready to leave but red shirt Evan suddenly reappeared to bring me a cup of latte. This was a nice gesture and he told me not to rush and to finish the coffee. It was a very nice gesture.
Overall it was a great experience and I would probably return to dine again soon
Edit: Visited again 10 Jun 25. No red shirt Evan around to chat with or to ask for review. But a blue shirt staff did go around to do survey about how we knew about the promotion. All went well except the coffee machine went out of creamer again. No one came to bother us to hint that it was time to leave.
Edit: 24 Jun 25. I am grateful to red shirt Sam for getting us a table during the off peak hours as I placed my name in waiting list. Today the staff were quite busy though and we had to change BBQ paper ourselves. I saw at least two more tables also DIY the BBQ paper.

The service was excellent — staff were attentive, frequently changing the BBQ grill sheets without being prompted and clearing used bowls promptly. A special mention to Crystal, whose service was outstanding. She recommended her specially made sauce, which enhanced the meal, and ensured we signed up for the free membership to enjoy more benefits.

Amazing Service by Crystal at Seoul Garden - Tampines Mall
I had lunch with my family on a rainy day at Seoul Garden, Tampines Mall on 12 October 2024, around 1 PM. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by Crystal, who gave us the best seating, especially since we had kids with us. The restaurant wasn’t crowded, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
What really stood out was Crystal's excellent customer service. She not only attended to us promptly but also went the extra mile by offering her special sauce, which turned out to be delicious! The staff overall were good, but Crystal truly made our meal memorable with her attentive and friendly service.
Highly recommend visiting when she's around—she'll make your dining experience extra special!

Seoul Garden in Tampines Mall always be our favorit AYCE since 2018 (when we first move to this country). A staff there recognize us and said hello to us, she know us since my 1st kid was still a baby, until now has a sister and become P1 student. The food is always fresh and bulgogi recipe is always delicious.
Farhan Rahmat
As always great vibe and atmosphere. The staff here is very friendly and funny-easy going. Crystal, tom and their crew recommend their special made sauce. It was very flavourful which was specially crafted together with love quoted by - crystal, therefore compliments the meat that we had. 10/10 would recommend the sauce. Do request for it when you dine in. :)
