Song Gye Ok Centrepoint is an attractive Korean restaurant. This is the second Singapore outlet of this restaurant. The other one is in Telok Ayer. The dark wood structure of the restaurant made it stand out from the other restaurants and shops around it. It looks like a traditional Korean hanok transplanted from Seoul into Orchard Road Singapore.
From Seoul to Singapore — Song Gye Ok Singapore
According to its website, Song Gye Ok was founded in Seongsu, Seoul. It is described as “Korea’s most widely talked about chicken grill house, drawing queues for its juicy 6-part chicken cuts and soul-warming herbal Samgyetang.” In Singapore, its first outlet opened in Telok Ayer in 2025. This was followed by its second store, Song Gye Ok Centrepoint which opened in early 2026.
We went for lunch at Centrepoint on a weekday. In the past, the atmosphere at this Orchard Road mall used to be bustling when the Robinson’s department store was around. On our recent weekday visit the mall was mainly quiet with a few hotspots of activity at the Decathlon store and in the basement where the food court and Fairprice supermarket are located.
Located on level two of the mall, the Song Gye Ok Centrepoint really stands out. The handsome structures and the scale of the restaurant can be seen from afar.
MODU Samgyetang X Song Gye Ok
The decor of the restaurant has similarities with MODU Samgyetang at Mandarin Gallery which we wrote about some weeks ago. The menu also features MODU samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) which are also available at Song Gye Ok.
Song Gye Ok Centrepoint Menu
The Song Gye Ok Centrepoint Menus for lunch and dinner are quite different. The menu for weekdays is a short and simple one. In addition to samgyetang options from MODU, the Song Gye Ok weekday lunch contains mostly kalguksu noodle dishes, a rice and soup dish and some side dishes. Their famous grilled chicken dishes only appear on the weekday (holidays) and dinner menus.
For our regular weekday lunch we decided on a Signature Dakgomtang ($28++) and a Perilla & Ongshimi Kalguksu ($24++).
Our Korean Lunch at Centrepoint
The signature dakgomtang (Korean chicken soup) was served with rice topped with chicken as well as small side dishes. According to the menu, the soup was made with 12-hour boiled collagen broth, char-grilled boneless chicken thigh, leek and ginseng. Even though the ingredients list also included chicken and ginseng, the taste of this soup was not as rich as the ginseng chicken soup we tried at Modu Samgyetang. The latter is also on the Song Gye Ok menu and costs around $35++.
The chicken was tender and the portion size of the chicken was adequate. By itself the taste was quite bland, but eating it with the sauce improved the taste.
Our perilla kalguksu looked quite similar to the perilla samgyetang that we ate in MODU. But the broth appeared in the form of a thicker gravy. The MODU version had stronger ginseng and perilla flavours but this was good enough for a normal weekday lunch,
Chewy noodles soaked up the gravy well and there were chunks of chicken as well.
