There are several criteria for judging the best Korean BBQ restaurants in Singapore, and Ssak3 Korean BBQ ticks three boxes: great-quality meat, affordable price, and superb service. It’s one of those restaurants that easily come to mind when you get a craving because it’s easy on the pocket but heavy on the belly. The friendly price point allows you to order more than just KBBQ, which you should because their ala carte dishes are sensational, too.
If it’s your first time at Ssak3, it is recommended that you order their assorted BBQ set, which consists of beef short rib, Duroc honeycomb pork belly, original pork belly, and beef short plate. Oh, and if you’re a fan of Korean fried chicken, Ssak3 has four flavors of bone-in and boneless chicken. How good is Ssak3’s Korean fried chicken? Delicious enough to attract flocks of our Korean friends here in the country, that’s how.
