did not opt for bbq here and ordered steamed egg, seafood pancake and gochujang pork.
steamed egg/gyeran-jjim - not fluffy at all. there were grainy bits inside, told the service staff and got a new one without the grainy bits but still not fluffy
seafood pancake/haemul pa jeon - not crispy, more like omelette
gochujang pork/dwaeji - good, enjoyed this!
considering the prices here not cheap, had higher expectations and was disappointed.
wet tissue cost $1 each. meal side dishes and water foc.

I recently dined at Bornga VivoCity, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for both casual meals and special occasions.
The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the food. I tried the signature Korean barbecue, and each dish was bursting with flavor. The marinated meats were tender and juicy, and the side dishes complemented the main course perfectly. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations that enhanced our meal.
The restaurant also has a fantastic selection of drinks, including traditional Korean options that paired wonderfully with our food.
Overall, Bornga VivoCity exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Korean dining experience!

Korean BBQ as I like it. If you have eaten at Bornga in other countries this is the same. For me this is exactly how I like an Korean BBQ to be. You can choose set’s with different kinds of meat. Or pick out the ones you like. You get all the add ons here, it’s all included. Salad leaves, garlic, sauces, kimchi etc.
As an added bonus you can choose to sit by the water.

Best is their marinated short rib beef. Their free side dishes come in many different varieties. Staff are very hardworking and polite. Our family has always been served by a very friendly Vietnamese waitress. Prices are reasonable and affordable. Must try!

Ordered lunch set BBQ for 2 which includes 2 meat (got the signature beef and pork belly) with a seafood soup. And of course many side dishes!
Signature beef was really good but the pork belly was dry and tough. Service was good!

All along I thought their meat was good. Tried previously, the meat was not bad. Today the pork belly was so tough, hard to chew, I literally couldn't swallow it. The waiter said he had no choice but to cook the pork fully cooked, but I think it's overcooked.
Then he said, if you want I can remove this dish for you. My table only has 2 meat, I was late dining in at around 9.30pm (last order done), so I only left with 1 meat to eat. Luckily I ordered the Steamed egg, which is a little bland & the tang hoon which was average.
I don't think I will be back anymore.

Those who have watched "Culinary Class Wars" on Netflix would not be unfamiliar with Chef Paik Jong- Won or the Bornga restaurants in SG.
We recently visited the Vivocity outlet and tried its K-Classic Lunch set, and totally enjoyed the food (stewed tofu seafood soup, BBQ spicy pork belly on a hotplate, appetisers) and the dining experience.
Staff were helpful and attentive, and sociable.
There was much variety from the menu..
Some of the dishes can be rather spicy, Korean-style. But, this can be enjoyable to some diners, though.

Was in Vivo City for shopping and this restaurant caught our attention 😋
The food are nice but a bit costly….
Ventilations require some work as we smelt like BBQ pork when we walked out of the restaurant.
A male staff (tall, funky hair, wearing glasses) was seen scolding a female staff near the kitchen…. Dun think is right to do that when we all can hear him loud and clear. He put the female staff at a bad spot too.
