8 Korean BBQ at Clarke Quay Central introduces an innovative Korean dining experience to Singapore's premier nightlife district, located at 6 Eu Tong Sen Street #02-79/90 within the bustling entertainment complex. This unique Korean barbecue restaurant earns its name from the eight distinct flavors of pork belly featured on their menu, utilizing the rare Hungarian Mangalica Hog breed known for its superior fat quality that melts at lower temperatures, creating exceptionally juicy and tender meat. As Clarke Quay's only Korean BBQ establishment committed to being 100% seed oil-free, 8 Korean BBQ combines premium ingredients with health-conscious preparation methods in an industrial chic setting that perfectly complements the district's modern entertainment atmosphere.
The restaurant's signature offering centers around their 8-Color Set at $98, featuring pork belly in eight carefully crafted flavors: Wine, Original, Ginseng, Garlic, Herb, Curry, Miso, and Red Pepper Paste, accompanied by Korean side dishes and a stew of choice. For smaller groups, the 4 Colours Set at $58 provides a perfect introduction to their premium Mangalica pork experience, while additional options include Kalbi and various Korean accompaniments. The full-service concept allows diners to relax and enjoy conversations while expertly trained staff prepare the barbecue at each table, creating an elevated Korean dining experience that prioritizes both quality ingredients and exceptional service in Clarke Quay's sophisticated entertainment environment.
Operating in the heart of Clarke Quay Central with easy access to Singapore's premier nightlife and entertainment venues, 8 Korean BBQ serves both local Korean food enthusiasts and international visitors seeking authentic, premium Korean cuisine. The restaurant offers convenient delivery services with free delivery for orders over $80, plus additional locations at Shaw Centre for accessibility across Singapore.

THE MOST RIDICULOUS F&B PRACTICE. THE PRICE OF YOUR KOREAN BBQ IS ALREADY CONSIDERED EXPENSIVE, YET YOU STILL CHARGE 2 SGD FOR 🌊 WATER! THE RIDICULOUSNESS OF THIS RESTAURANT IS ON THE NEXT LEVEL! IF YOU CHOKE WHILE EATING HERE, YOU WILL DIE, WAN! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! THE TASTE OF BBQ IS NOT THERE TO JUSTIFY THE PRICE EITHER!

Superb service. Even with a full house, staff tried their best to be attentive and always served with a smile. Totally enjoyed the BBQ dinner. Eight different types of marinated pork belly were way too much meat for five of us—delicious but too much! 🤣 The seafood pancake was super delicious, a must-order.

Staff members Joseph and Jack take good care of us when we have a gathering here. All the food here is very nice. Especially the seafood pancake. It's very crispy. Thanks to the chef.

Located on the 2nd floor at The Central. Very convenient if you are either driving or taking public transport. The food is good, and the range is quite extensive. The side dishes are very tasty as well. The big plus for this place is the service. The staff are generally very helpful and attentive. It is nicely decorated and generally clean. Recommended!

Love the place! Decent portions at a reasonable price. My husband and I ordered the Keto set for 8; the staff helped us cook the meat, and we just sat and enjoyed. The meat is juicy and tender, the side dishes are refillable, and we could barely finish all the food. Strongly recommended!

Here's the edited review: There is a similar 8-color Korean BBQ in Malaysia called Palsaik. Personally, I feel the Palsaik in Malaysia tastes delicious. Its marinated flavours of the pork belly are stronger, and it has a bigger vegetable selection. In this Singaporean style, the marinated pork belly tastes mild to me. To some extent, I can't even taste the flavour of the pork belly. Also, the makgeolli tastes light. It does not have a strong alcohol content.

Service from Joseph was fire. He was attentive, ensuring all our condiments were topped up. The meats were cooked to perfection. You will enjoy this dining experience if you are a meat lover, especially pork belly. You'll love it and come back for more.

Korean BBQ Review It was amazing! The atmosphere was lively, and the meats were so delicious. The variety of meats was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The service was passable, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a delicious Korean meal, this is the place to go.

We had a good dining experience here. It wasn’t full on a Tuesday night. The Korean food here is good! We ordered the flower pork set for two people, and it was a lot for the four of us. We also tried the kimchi pancake and beef. Great service from the staff as well. A staff member helped us cook the meat, and he did it in an organised way. He ensured that our side dishes were topped up. We didn’t get his name, but he’s Filipino.

The staff barbecued the beef cubes, which were juicy and tasty and worth the price. They were also very friendly and accommodating. The lunch sets are a steal in my opinion.

I think this is the first time I’ve enjoyed Korean food so much. Every single dish was good, banchan was great, the cuts of meat were excellent, and you don’t have to lift a finger—they do all the cooking for you and are really attentive. The table setup is very thoughtful, and the ventilation system is amazing. They don’t have the suction directly above the table, yet somehow there is no lingering smell on your hair or clothes. I was honestly really impressed, and I’ll be back again.

Fantastic Korean BBQ food. The server cooked the meat for us, which was great. Side dishes were refillable. Lip-smacking good food, and it was really fresh! Price was reasonable too!

Had a great dining experience at 8 Korean BBQ at Clarke Quay Central! 🌟 The service was fantastic — attentive, friendly, and efficient. The dishes were excellent, with generous portions that left us more than satisfied. We especially appreciated how the place wasn’t too crowded, making the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable. One thing to note: it can be a little tricky to find the restaurant at first, but it’s absolutely worth the effort. Highly recommend for anyone craving quality Korean BBQ in a comfortable setting!

$10.90++ lunch set available at this restaurant. Jun 2025 - I came back to 8 BBQ for their 8 pork belly. The quality was good, and I loved the pork belly with all the unlimited sides. The flavorful pork belly wrapped with lettuce is indeed mouth-watering. I would consider coming back again for the pork belly when there's a craving for Korean meats.

The food is okay, and I love that it's cooked for you. Kimchi is really nice and packs a punch. Meat is pretty average, to be honest. Sides are good and refillable, though there's often no real need to. Japchae and kimchi stew are good, better than most. Yuza Makgeolli is very refreshing, though I hardly feel any alcohol, which may not be a bad thing. Overall, the food is pretty good and the service is excellent.
