Our take: SSADA GIMBAB at Bukit Timah Shopping Centre is a solid option for quick, no-frills Korean fare.

We think it's a hidden gem, especially for those seeking comforting and affordable dishes.

The Ginseng Chicken Soup is a standout, praised for its nourishing qualities and tender chicken, even if the ginseng flavor is mild.

The Tteokbokki also receives high marks for its spicy kick and unique, chewier rice cakes, though some feedback suggests the cheese could be melted more thoroughly.

Their Gimbap is consistently highlighted as well-stuffed and pairs excellently with the Tteokbokki sauce.

While the menu isn't extensive, the dishes offered are generally well-executed and satisfying.

Free refills on kimchi and pickles are a welcome bonus.

We'd recommend this spot for a casual meal, particularly if you're in the area and craving reliable Korean comfort food.

Best for a quiet weekday visit; expect slower service if you go during peak Sunday lunch hours.

Basement floor of Bukit Timah Shopping Center. It looks very unassuming but I think it's a hidden gem of a spot. It seems to specialize in quick and easy simple Korean dishes. Place is quite and chill…

Yummy Korean food! Especially love their kimbap and omu chicken cutlet rice! Service was a tad slow on a Sunday afternoon when it’s full house. Sides are free to refill!

Love their kimbab which goes really well if you dip it in this tteokbokki sauce! Their tteokbokki is very different from other places as well, it's much longer & skinnier. In a sense it's less dense &…

The soft tofu stew is flavorful with a nice kick of spice. Loved that gimmari is available at such a good price—rare to find in Singapore! Also, great variety of gimbap with generous portions.

Was surprised with the chicken soup. It was the thing needed in a cold day. Gimbap was well stuffed with ingredients
