Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: JIN Kimchi Express in Tampines offers a generally well-received Korean dining experience, particularly noted for its value and portion sizes.

The $6 kimchi stew set, for instance, is frequently highlighted as a substantial and flavourful option.

Many reviewers praise the Grilled Pork for its tenderness and generous serving, making it a standout dish.

While some have found the beef dishes inconsistent in quality, a follow-up suggests improvements have been made.

However, a significant concern regarding hygiene has been raised, with one customer reporting hair in their food.

This indicates a potential area for improvement in their operational standards.

Despite this, the overall sentiment leans towards JIN Kimchi Express being an authentic and affordable option for Korean food in the area.

Verdict: A good option for budget-friendly Korean food, especially the Grilled Pork and kimchi stew, but be mindful of potential hygiene issues.

The beef used to be tender and nice. Today, it's fatty, hard to chew. And it's very oily compared to previous. Not sure if I would come back again. Used to eat every Friday. Update: 19 Feb 2026, than…

The kimchi stew set was absolutely delicious and value for money! It was only $6 for such a huge portion filled with so much ingredients + sides and rice. So worth it! Tried the jjajangmyeon as well,…
