Korean BBQ buffet is one of Singapore's most-searched dinner plans — unlimited marinated meats you grill at your own table, free-flow banchan (side dishes), stews, and often a steamboat too, all for one fixed price. We rounded up the 6 best Korean BBQ buffets in Singapore for 2026 across every budget and neighbourhood: the islandwide 2-in-1 classic (Seoul Garden), the cheapest central sit-down (I'm Kim, early-bird lunch from $12.90++), the best HALAL pick (Captain Kim), a late-night charcoal joint open till 5am (Don Dae Bak), a 50-item Tanjong Pagar favourite with LA Galbi (Gogi Buffet), and a Bukit Timah all-rounder (Maru).
Prices below are per person and exclude the usual 10% service charge and 9% GST unless marked 'nett'. Most buffets cap your table at 90–120 minutes and charge for excessive leftovers, so pace yourself and order your last round early.
Seoul Garden buffet prices 2026 (the full ladder)
Seoul Garden is the most-searched name here, so it's worth setting out what it actually costs. These are the rates on Seoul Garden's own menu page as at 18 August 2026, per person, before 10% service charge and 9% GST.
| Session | Regular | Premium | Supreme |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekday lunch, adult (Mon–Fri & eve of PH, 11.30am–3.59pm) | $24.90++ | $33.90++ | $47.90++ |
| Weekday lunch, student / senior / NS personnel | $15.90++ | $24.90++ | — |
| Weekday lunch, child 5–12 | $12.45++ | $16.95++ | $23.95++ |
| Weekday dinner (4pm–10.30pm), adult | $34.90++ | $39.90++ | $47.90++ |
| Weekend & PH all day (11.30am–10.30pm), adult | $34.90++ | $39.90++ | $47.90++ |
| Weekend / dinner, child 5–12 | $17.45++ | $19.95++ | $23.95++ |
Two things worth knowing. First, the $15.90++ concession is a standing menu rate, not a promo — students, seniors and NS personnel get it at any weekday lunch with the right card, and it's a $9 saving on the adult price. Second, the $8.90++ senior Wednesday deal has ended: it ran 3 June to 29 July 2026 and is no longer on the promotions page, so don't plan a Wednesday trip around it. The one live campaign is the Late-Night Buffet from $27.90++ (Mon–Thu, 8.30pm, last seating 9.45pm), which runs till 31 August 2026.
I'm Kim buffet prices 2026 — early-bird vs walk-in
I'm Kim's $12.90++ headline is an early-bird rate, not the walk-in price, and that catches a lot of people out. Turn up at 1pm instead of 11.30am and you pay the standard rate.
| Session | Price per pax |
|---|---|
| Early-bird lunch (11.30am-12.30pm) | $12.90++ |
| Standard lunch, daily incl. weekends & PH | $18.90++ |
| Early-bird dinner (5.30-6.30pm weekdays, 5-6pm weekends) | $20.90++ |
| August special, Sun-Thu dinner (promo code 2290) | $22.90++ |
| Standard dinner, Mon-Thu | $28.90++ |
| Standard dinner, Fri / weekend / eve of PH / PH | $29.90++ |
The early-bird and August prices are confirmed on Kingdom Food's own I'm Kim page and are dated till 30 August 2026. The standard walk-in rates sit inside a price-table image on that page rather than in text, so the figures above are as reported in Eatbook's June 2026 review — worth confirming when you book. Every session needs a minimum of 2 paying guests, and the like-and-share on the promo post is compulsory for the discounted slots. Time limits are 90 minutes at lunch, 90 minutes at dinner for tables of 2-4, and 110 minutes for 5 or more.

How to save on Korean BBQ buffet
- Go for weekday lunch — almost every outlet's lunch buffet is $5–$15 cheaper than dinner for a near-identical spread.
- Bring the right people — Captain Kim's 4-PLUS-1 (1 free per 4 paying, till 30 Aug) and its student group rates ($13.90++ per pax for 5+ students at weekday lunch) reward group visits.
- Grab early-bird slots — I'm Kim and several others price the first lunch/dinner hour lowest ($12.90++ lunch, $20.90++ dinner, both dated till 30 Aug 2026).
- Students, seniors & NSmen — flash your card: Seoul Garden's weekday lunch drops from $24.90++ to $15.90++, and Captain Kim gives SAFRA members and servicemen 20% off lunch and dinner till 30 Dec 2026.
- Watch the like-and-share fine print — several of these deals (I'm Kim's early-bird and August prices, Captain Kim's 4-PLUS-1) only apply if you like and share the promo post before you order, and I'm Kim's August dinner needs promo code 2290 at reservation.
- Book ahead for dinner and weekends — the cheaper outlets fill fast, and small charcoal spots may cancel small weekend bookings.
Promos and prices change — always confirm the current deal and terms on each restaurant's official channels before you head down.
