Hyang To Gol Korean Restaurant (Closed)

I have heard of the bespoke korean restaurant at Amara hotel several times, including recommendations by korean natives. As with any other cuisine here, if a native recommends it it can't be bad mostly. I was glad to finally try out this place after a friend brought me here for my belated bday meal.The restaurant's deco and feel is a little like those of established chinese restaurant. We had lunch sets so I'm not sure if thats why we didnt get the free starters that authentic korean restaurants

The FoodI ordered the The Kimchi-Jjigae ($15) spicy kimchi stew with pork rich broth with well balanced spicy and sour which comes with todu, clams and pork. Overall, the ingredients are fresh and portion is just nice.The ServiceAs I went on weekday evening, the restaurant was not so crowded and was immediately ushered to our table promptly.The AmbienceI like the cosy ambience and surroundings with comfy chairs with acceptable noise levelThe PriceReasonably priced at $15 for decent portionOveral

We dropped by Hyang To Gol one Sunday evening and the place was packed with Koreans and a couple of Singaporeans. Initial service was great but started to go downhill after we placed our orders. Iced water was not refilled, the wait staff had a sour expression on their faces (most of them at least) and alot of them had difficulty understanding what we were saying. It even took a long time for the bill to come. Food wise was decent and reasonably priced. Just that portions can be a little underwh

We were surprised to find that the quality of the food seemed to have gone down, and the overall experience was just a little blah.

It didn't help that service that Saturday afternoon also seemed off, the staffs were extremely halfhearted and sluggish, and they could not have had a stonier appearance. It was like they all just got a shelling from their bo

I got a korean friend to introduce to me an authentic korean restaurant.Service is good and the food taste marvelous!First time I am served with so so many small dishes for starters. It was even too much for me and my friend to finish them. In fact, alot of them are half eaten or barely eaten at all. Their kimchi is abit too sour for me to bear, but my korean friend love it.I ordered the ox tail soup, recommeneded by my friend, who is a soup lover. She told me that this soup is favourited by kor

This is my favourite Korean restaurant in Singapore. It was actually recommended by one of my korean friend who stay in Singapore. It is located on the second level of the Amara hotel. I always go there whenever I'm nearby and when craving for authetic korean food! Their side dishes are all very yummy and all refillable. The rice they used were very good quality rice, it tasted so soft, yummy and fragant. Think i can eat it alone without any dishes actually. haha.I have ordered a Jangeo-Gooi (gr

I have heard many good reviews about this Korean restaurant at Amara Hotel, & that many of its customers are actually true blue Koreans, so I thought I shouldn't miss it.I made a reservation for table for 2 pax on a Fri night at 6.30pm. When I arrived, the restaurant was still not full, but there were already many tables of Koreans and a big group of Japanese. As I browsed through the menu while waiting for my friend, I could see that the prices were not cheap, but what excited me was that there
