Translates to ‘mother’ in Korean, and the founders of OMMA Korean Charcoal BBQ were probably hoping to evoke some maternal fondness in their dishes.
What drew me to pay a visit was the unique concept of being able to change your wood chips during the Korean BBQ session; definitely a first in Singapore.
As of this writing, two branches of OMMA have rapidly opened up in Singapore; OMMA Korean Charcoal BBQ was founded by the Old Street Bak Kut Teh Group which lent significant financial support for its fast growth, I assume.

The outlet I visited in this particular review was the Bukit Timah branch, located along the stretch of late-night eateries at Cheong Chin Nam Road opposite Beauty World.
The restaurant is decked with wooden panels, giving off a sleek yet homely vibe and a touch of industrialism as exhibited from the copper-plated hanging vents.
While personally, I’d prefer the kimchi to be more pungent and acidic. If you’re going to ferment, ferment till you can smell it.

The Steamed Egg (S$12) was seasoned well and as an egg lover, there’s not much to complain about this dish. This Korean egg style, due to the bubbling in the
Pot it is cooked in, produces various textures with a burnt under layer which makes it quite different from silky Chinese/Japanese style steamed egg.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the kimchi earlier, so subsequently, Kimchi Soup— Pork (S$18) was a miss for me as well due to stated reason of not having enough fermented savouriness.

We had the Special Beef and Pork OMMA set (S$105), which consists of Iberico pork collar, pork belly, beef ribs, beef striploin, steamed egg and
The first wood we started off with was the Hickory wood chips charcoal. Again, the option to change woods is a highlight at OMMA Korean Charcoal BBQ, which I highly recommend exercising.
The Hickory wood was pretty neutral and didn’t really have any nuances on the flavours of the meat at all. Each charcoal can last at least one hour, and it costs S$3 to change the charcoal to a different variety of wood chips.

Although I would have loved to go through all the wood chips, this seemed quite wasteful for the number of meats we had. After barbecuing about half the meats, the next wood chip I swapped for was Applewood (S$3). Different woods are suggested for different ingredients, but I find it hard to identify the specific pairings since there’s a variety of meats.
Wood chips made a significant difference when barbecuing pork, and to a certain extent on the beef too. The distinct sweet fragrance and the smokiness infused from
Wood and once you savour it during the same session, it’s hard to go back to just plain charcoal. I’m impressed how much of a difference the wood made.

Like many of the meats served at OMMA Korean Charcoal BBQ, the A4 wagyu was highly marbled and there’s a lot of fat which ensures the meats are tender and juicy.
There isn’t a particular prominent flavour to the pork and beef served, however, this can be enhanced by choice of charcoal wood. Choose wisely.
In terms of the availability of wood, there seemed to be some teething logistic issues as not everything listed on the menu was available (there’s five listed woods), while some new wood chips that

With the deliberate intention of not using gas fire and opting for all-natural wood charcoal, there’s little heavy carbon smoke produced with the goal of leaving the ingredients’ natural flavours unadulterated. This concept is absolutely feasible, but (and this is a big but) also relies heavily on the high quality of ingredients used.
The menu at OMMA Korean charcoal BBQ is huge, with over 60 menu items. One concept still being experimented on is a
I love the idea of being able to change your charcoal wood, really. This can and should be the main selling point for OMMA and hopefully, logistical setbacks can be resolved to bring out its potential experience.

Within walking distance from OMMA Korean Charcoal BBQ, and even along the very same stretch of eateries, there are multiple Korean BBQ competitors— I counted at least five competitors in this area. With a higher price point, it still remains to be seen whether OMMA can cut through the clutter of cheaper buffet adversaries and uniquely position itself as a prominent Korean BBQ restaurant at Bukit Timah.

Hello Korean Bbq
Is an online publication that curates food and lifestyle content across Singapore and the greater region of Southeast Asia. We share content that is approachable and deeply informative for the sole purpose of getting you, our readers, excited about life and all aspects of living. This was my favourite Korean bbq place. At the end of last year in 2021, it used to cost $19.9+ for weekday lunch & it was so affordable & the food was great as well!
Over time, the price increase to $22.9+ in around early 2022. That was still alright and I continued visiting regularly. However, today (Sep 2022), when I visited, still a weekday lunch (fri), I was shocked to see that the price increased to $28.9+! inflation is urgh
Honestly it’s such a pity, at this price point, they are competing with so many other chains and I can’t brand them as affordable anymore… I’m not sure if maybe Mon-Thurs lunch is still $22.9 and they changed Friday to not be counted as a weekday anymore but I’m just disapointed haiz :(
Joo Mak Korean Restaurant (beauty World)
The food is still great, would recommend, but personally will not visit & would rather now go try other places at this price point…
Conjoined. I then shift the table to make some space for us as one of the customer beside us needed to leave his seat.
Went to Maru and tried their unlimited KBBQ option ($24.90 for weekends per pax)! They also have mains that are ala carte that looks pretty good😋
I'm Kim Korean Bbq By Angie Teo
KBBQ was decent, with a wide option of items being marinated/non marinated! There is not much Seafood options (sorry to seafood lovers🤧) but its an affordable pricing hence understable😅 Overall ratings are a 7/10 and would visit again if I feel like eating kbbq🤣
Paid about $27.4 each for lunch. There was a 2hr limit. The chicken (soy and spicy) was quite good! Will come back again.
The side dishes were decent, while the soup was pretty good. However, given that the bbq meats were really off the mark, I’m forced to give this place a subpar rating, despite the reasonable price.

The meats were either strange in flavour or really bland, probably contributed by the unusual bbq cooking method - steel plate lined with baking paper with very weak fire. The meat tasted as though they were boiled in plain water and not barbecued like they are supposed to.
Will not recommend this place to anyone for their bbq, if you’re forced to eat here maybe you’ll have more luck with their ala cart stews.
Picked MARU as a spot for our yearly Chinese New Year gathering with a couple of friends — pretty satisfied with the spread here. No doubt this isn’t the free-flow style buffet that one can help themselves to the counter, but the ala-carte buffet here certainly still feeds us pretty well. For $21 (before service charge), they were pretty generous with the banchan while also comes with soup on the side, Kimchi Pancakes and Gimbap altogether. The meats were also pretty decent without being excessively heavy on flavour — didn’t find ourselves getting too jelak over the meats nor dousing water constantly throughout the meal. Was also pretty impressed that the servers were also getting round the tables helping out with the cooking of the meats (which included different cuts of chicken, pork and beef marinated in various styles); a good deal considering the price. No doubt it lacks the fun that other places have considering the variety is pretty limited (no seafood nor much vegetables to go with on the grill) and for the fact that it isn’t a self-service buffet concept, but the quality and service did certainly made up for it at the price. Perhaps one of the most enjoyable Chinese New Year gathering spots that we have had over the past few years.
