JIHO Hanbang Samgyetang opens in Chinatown

Search for Korean food on Google, and you’ll be bombarded with a load of K-BBQ recommendations. While grilled meats will always have their appeal, the scene can feel somewhat saturated. This makes the arrival of JIHO Hanbang Samgyetang all the more exciting. Opening yesterday at 18 Cross in Chinatown, the Korea-famous chain has brought its signature ginseng chicken soups to Singapore, alongside a tasty lineup of authentic Korean sides.

JIHO is a well-established name in Korea’s samgyetang scene. Founded by Dr Lee Ji-Ho in 1991, the brand focuses on serving food that’s both rich in flavour and health, drawing on hanbang, the centuries-old Korean practice of using natural herbal remedies.

The brand has since become a huge hit, winning multiple awards and opening over 80 locations in Korea, Sydney, and Shanghai.
