40 Tanjong Pagar Korean Food Spots to Satisfy All Your K-Food Cravings

One K-restaurant in Tanjong Pagar that is always popular with a long queue is O.BBa BBQ. They’re known for their juicy and tasty cuts of meat such as GgokSal (USDA Prime Beef), SamGyupSal (Sliced Pork Belly) and Yang Nyum Galbi (Marinated Short Rib), along with Korean dishes in the likes of Jajangmyeon, Jjamppong and Tangsuyuk. They have a really extensive menu, so if you are divided on what to get you should take a look at their BBQ sets available.
