Been wanting to try Korean BBQ since forever, it's just so tempting to hear the sound of meat sizzling over the hot grill and I finally satisfied the temptation at Ju Shin Jung!Located at YESS Centre, the place was quite easy to find since it is just opposite Haw Par Villa! There are two kinds of seatings available and we could choose which one we want, one being the normal seats you usually see in restaurants and the other being like those you see in Korean dramas, where you sit down on cushion
Located at YESS Centre, the place was quite easy to find since it is just opposite Haw Par Villa! There are two kinds of seatings available and we could choose which one we want, one being the normal seats you usually see in restaurants and the other being like those you see in Korean dramas, where you sit down on cushions placed on wooden-like floors.
Prices were rather decent for a buffet (Lunch: Adult $29++, Child $16++, Dinner: Adult $35++, Child $19++) where you can choose to have free flow meat (Pork Collar, Marinated Pork, Marinated Chicken, Pork Belly) to BBQ and also a main dish for each person. Main dishes include Fried Saba Fish, Clear Beef Rib Soup, Spicy Soft Tofu Soup, Hot Stone Bowl Rice, Soya Bean Paste Soup and Soup/Spicy Cold Noodles. There was free flow side dishes too! However, wet towel, water and tea are not included in this buffet, and they charge $20/100g for any leftovers! The amount of side dishes were overwhelming and pretty soon our table was filled up quickly! My favourite has got to be the one in the middel, which tasted like kangkong! The meat!! OMG! *salivates* It was so good and juicy and went really well with the sauce provided! I tried wrapping the meat with the lettuce provided and added some sauce and garlic and ate it the 'Korean' way, and it tasted really good!!
And you don't have to do anything because the staff there BBQ and cut the meat for you! And they are really hygienic. My friend accidentally used her chopsticks to pick up raw meat and then immediately her old set of utensils were changed to a new one. Spicy Soft Tofu Soup which was okay only. Too spicy! Spicy Cold Noodles, which we ended up adding into the tofu soup and eat. The crazy spread which had us bloated with food!! And to end things on a sweet note, we were served watermelons as dessert.
Overall, I feel the ambience of the place is rather nice, and the staff are really attentive. The ventilation of the restaurant is quite good as well, we did not leave smelling like BBQ meat or anything. Furthermore, the food standard is pretty good and the meat is really juicy and tender. I will definitely go back again!
