Food tastes horrible and wait time takes forever! I ordered Pork Tofu soup, though the soup looks ok, but it tastes so bland as if diluted. Male staff has bad attitude, even though i nicely ask him how long till i can get my food when 30 mins has passed, he respond with rude and impatient tone, and told me to wait longer, never coming back pls stay away from this store!!

The male Chinese cashier is very rude! He did not bother to take my order although I have been standing there for a while. When I asked him to clarify what he said after he took my order, he rudely gestured to the display to ask me to check if my order and amount was correct, then uttered rudely again that my order would take 5-7 mins. I should have checked the reviews before I ordered my food. The food is alright though. Slightly better than the average ultra sweet kind in food courts. $11.50 is a bit expensive for Beef Bulgogi. Portion is good.

Waited 25 mins on a weekday night. Ginseng chicken soup was very thin and bland, with few ingredients. The side dishes were quite tasteless as well.
Long waiting time! I did not see a queue when I ordered, but was only told after I placed my order that i would have to wait , but it turned out to be a 25 mins wait. Not worth!

Small portions of meat. Get a second dinner if you eat here. Always long wait. Don't even bother to have enough side dishes everyday. Some days only, 2 portions of the not very nice kimchi.

Horrible service!
A lot of item they don’t sell you esp pancake and grill item, always the same excuse only two staffs so cannot cook but it wasn’t busy or crowded
Not sure if their owner aware of this.

It's been a while since I had togi. Different in the one I had in Chinatown shop. Felt more like premade meal or central kitchen.
Didn't taste the similar to the one previously

DONT BOTHER TO ORDER IF YOU DONT WANT TO WAIT 40MINS.
food is bit ok. a not so properly grilled BBQ pork belly.
service: worst. ordered 6pm for dine in. was served around 640pm. for a simple pork belly. i think the cashier was easy going, and forgot to call the order on time inside the kitchen. troublesome. asked him thrice for the order, and says 3mins which took about 15mins to say the least.
atmosphere: kopitiam JEM.

Located on the 5th Floor in Jem. It is inside JEM Kopitiam Food Hall. Just q and order, then wait for your buzzer to buzz off. Ordered Pork Kimchi Soup, it came with a rice and side of taugeh and kimchi. The soup is not bad, but not spicy enough. Meat portion was decent too. Waited for the food for less than 10 mins during lunch hour.

This is located at the food court in JEM.
I ordered the ginseng chicken which came with 1/2 a small chicken, rice and some kimchi for $10.50. The soup was very tasty, though it wasn’t very authentic. It was good enough for me to consider returning again.
Credit card accepted.

*One of My Go-To Lunch Spots!*
Here's a rephrased version:
*Lunch at JEM Foodcourt: A Wish for Peace*
While enjoying lunch at JEM foodcourt amidst the Thailand-Cambodia conflict, I wished for global peace. Fittingly, I ordered Korean Army Stew from Yogi Korean Kitchen, a restaurant with multiple outlets, including Novena and Takashimaya.
*The Stew*
The menu offers various choices, and I opted for the Army Stew ($10.50). The stall's cleanliness and management impressed me. The stew's ingredients were great, with a mix of luncheon meat, hotdog, meatballs, tofu, rice cake, vegetables, and onions.
*Taste*
The first sip of the soup was a bit bland, but it packed a flavorful punch with a unique texture. The strong umami flavor blended well with the ingredients, creating a comforting food combo. If you prefer lighter-tasting food, this might be a good ch
*Final Verdict*
If you prefer lighter flavors, Yogi Korean Kitchen's Army Stew is worth considering for lunch. I'll revisit and review other menu options if I get the chance. Here's my rating:
- Food: 3.5/5
- Store Hygiene: 4.5/5
- Ambiance: 4/5 (food court was quite crowded during lunch time)
*Pro Tip:* Don't forget to use the NTUC app for discounts! 😊

I keep coming back and this is the fifth time! I'm in love with their BBQ belly pork 🥰. I never have any issues when I dine in there. Reading other reviews makes me so confused. Are we dining in the same place? 😭

I highly recommend the BBQ Marinade Pork set and the Pork Belly set. Tried the soup before and I didn't like it, so stick with the BBQ sets. I come here for dinner, I think you should avoid lunch rush.

Ordered the budae jiggae and it was really good! It is very hard to find decently priced and delicious Korean food in shopping centre.
One thing I would prefer is for the budae jiggae to be without the fried fish ball. Seem a bit out of place. Overall it's great!

Located in JEM at the uppermost floor, this store is a hidden jem, serving customers with quality korean food. The miso soup is homemade with many different side dishes to pair with the main course. The chicken is perfectly marinated with sweet and spicy sauce, melting inside my mouth almost instantly. Despite the long waiting time, I doubt it would exceed 15 mins.
