Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Cafe LightHouse is a well-regarded Korean eatery in Bukit Merah, frequently praised for its authentic, home-style dishes and generous, refillable banchan selection (often 8-9 varieties, including notable fried lotus root and tofu skin).

We see consistent positive feedback for dishes like the Sundubu Jjigae and Lighthouse Gimbap, with the beef bulgogi also highlighted for its tender meat and balanced seasoning.

The staff, particularly the 'lady boss', are noted for their hospitality, often offering complimentary items like yuzu drinks or mochi.

While the food quality is high and prices are considered affordable, we note some reports of disorganised service, particularly regarding reservations, which can lead to waits even with a booking.

The space is also small, making it less ideal for larger groups (max 6 comfortably).

Despite occasional service hiccups, the overall sentiment is that the quality of the food and the genuine warmth of the owners make it a worthwhile visit.

Verdict: A reliable spot for authentic Korean comfort food, best enjoyed with a reservation and in smaller groups.

Cafe LightHouse is a highly-regarded, cozy Korean restaurant praised for its authentic and flavorful dishes, particularly the sundubu, gimbap, and impressive variety of refillable banchan.

While food quality and the welcoming nature of the lady boss and staff receive consistent acclaim, some customers have experienced disorganization with reservations and service inconsistencies, especially during busy periods.

Complimentary drinks or desserts are often offered to mitigate minor issues, highlighting a strong commitment to customer satisfaction.
