Each meal you order, there will be 3 side dishes provided for you. I'm not sure if it is refillable because I didn't ask.Banchan are different every time you visit but there are standards one like Kimchi, which is a bit spicier, Spinach, Bean sprouts. The rest might sometimes be pickled radish (when you order Jajangmyun), pressed fish cake, stir fried potato strips, pickled cucumbers, potato salad.
A meal in here is approximately $12-$20 for rices or noodles related dishes and $30 onwards for stews, bbq and more. When you sit down, water will be served to you asap after you ordered. The good thing about this restaurant is that there isn't any GST and service charge or hidden costs unless you ordered something else additional.
This is the well known Jajangmyun in Joo Mak Korean Restaurant! For those who doesn't know what is it, it is a black bean paste that is stir fried with some meat and onions then sliced cucumbers on top. There are chewy yellow noodles at the bottom. You have to take some time to mix the noodles and sauces together evenly. Enjoy the taste and savour slowly Make sure you eat it when it's hot because when it is cold, it wouldn't be nice. It is $12 and it is quite worth the price due to the taste.
I also ordered the Soondubu, soft tofu with spicy broth. It was rather spicy compared to rest of the soondubu I had tried. There are clams inside so do avoid if you have seafood allergies. The rabboki, which is spicy hot pepper paste sauce with rice cakes and noodles and pressed fish cakes with some vegetables. It was also $12 and it was very fulfilling.
The doenjang jjigae, fermented bean paste soup, with hot peppers, calms, mushroom and some vegetable inside. It is not as spicy as the soondubu but still spicy so be careful. It is very strong in the fermented bean paste smell and taste but it is a very comforting soup.
For soups, rice will be normally served together.
For those who like to give it a try, it is at the beauty world centre at upper bukit timah road. https://maps.google.com.sg/maps?saddr=Singapore&hl=en&sll=1.311247,103.813468&sspn=0.105372,0.195179&geocode=FZOhFAAdPCowBil1k4uKIxHaMTHE9atSz2l4iA&dirflg=r&ttype=now&noexp=0&noal=0&sort=def&mra=ltm&t=m&z=13&start=0
If you're going from CCK, 67 could take you there.
If you're going from Clementi, buses like 184, 61 will stop at Shell station and it is approximately 5-10mins to beauty world centre.
The restaurant is located at the highest level of the building and is beside a bakery shop so remember to visit it!
