Tanjong Pagar Road is Singapore's densest Korean dining strip, with charcoal KBBQ houses, pot-rice and knife-cut noodle specialists, raw-crab and seafood restaurants and late-night grills within a few hundred metres of each other. Most meals start from around $15-$25 for a noodle bowl or lunch set, barbecue typically runs $40-$60 per person, and premium beef sets can pass $140. The main cluster sits on Tanjong Pagar Road between Craig Road and Peck Seah Street, with more on Tras Street and Craig Road. Many restaurants close between lunch and dinner, and several BBQ spots stay open past midnight, so check hours before heading over and book ahead for Friday and Saturday dinners.
