A premium Korean charcoal BBQ restaurant at NEX, famed for rare-cut pork and hay-smoked meats.
SEORAE JIB at NEX is the Serangoon branch of a Korean barbecue restaurant founded in Seorae Village, South Korea in April 2007, with a name that pairs "Seorae" (its expertise in KBBQ) with "Jib" (home) to make diners feel at home. The brand is known as a specialist in rare-cut pork, with its KBBQ Galmaegisal a signature dish, and a stable-to-table commitment to sourcing and traceability. The NEX unit on the B1 level brings that premium grilling experience to Serangoon. The restaurant's distinctive edge is its smoking method - the first in Singapore to use Onggi pots with hay and oakwood, imparting an earthy, rich flavour to the meats. The menu suits groups who want a full KBBQ experience with a side of authentic Korean tradition, and the reservation option makes it easy to plan a dinner with friends or family. For Korean barbecue with a rare-cut pedigree right at NEX, SEORAE JIB is a memorable pick. Book a table, fire up the grill, and eat like royals in a homely setting.Operating Hours
