Ajumma's Korean Restaurant at Westgate represents the newest addition to this beloved fast-casual Korean dining chain that has been serving authentic Korean comfort food to Singapore since 2014. Established from a genuine love of hearty market and street food from Korea, Ajumma's embodies the vibrant, intense flavors that define Korean cuisine through their carefully crafted menu of piping hot stews, wok-seared bulgogis, and crispy, savory pancakes. The restaurant's name pays homage to the Korean term 'ajumma,' referring to the warm, nurturing women who often run Korea's best local eateries.
The menu showcases Korean favorites designed to satisfy both newcomers and connoisseurs of Korean cuisine, with their star attraction being the Signature Beef Kalbi ($16.90++) featuring slices of USDA prime beef stewed in their signature sweet-savory house marinade. Other popular dishes include Chicken Bulgogi, traditional Bibimbap, Kimchi Fried Rice with Shrimp & Egg, classic Jjajangmyeon, Japchae noodles, hearty Kimchi Pork Belly Stew, and comforting Seafood Beanpaste Stew. Each dish is prepared with authentic ingredients and traditional cooking methods that capture the essence of Korean home cooking.
Located at 3 Gateway Drive #01-07, Ajumma's Westgate opened in July 2023 and operates daily from 11:00 AM to 9:15 PM, making it easily accessible for lunch and dinner. As one of five Ajumma's locations across Singapore (including Funan Mall, PLQ Mall, Waterway Point, and Bukit Panjang Plaza), this outlet maintains the chain's reputation for offering homely Korean dishes that don't break the bank. The restaurant has built a loyal following by providing wallet-friendly prices without compromising on authenticity, making Korean cuisine accessible to Singapore's diverse dining community.
2nd time here. I remembered it taste better on my 1st trip. This time not what I am expecting.
2) oyster pancake, tasted too oily, more like deep fried than pan fried. Don’t seems to be eating pancake, more like eating deep vege instead, not nice.
2) Jjangmyeon, the sauce just average.
3) Bibimbap, as I don’t taste spicy food, did not mix the save given, hence too dry for me.
4) Had make payment immediately after ordering. other than the food serve to me, I don’t get other service, I don’t understand why I need to pay 10% for the service charges. Will not come again.

Despite the large crowd and long queue, the staff remained exceptionally friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The food was flavorful, well-prepared, and affordable, with generous portions that offered great value. Rather limited seats available, more suited for 2 to 4 pax groups.
The pollock soup was particularly noteworthy—fragrant and deeply satisfying, especially when enjoyed piping hot.

I love the food at Ajummas! Been here many times and it never disappoints. Everything is super tasty and comforting – feels like a warm home-cooked meal every time.
Will definitely keep coming back for more!
Only small feedback: the membership portal could be a bit smoother, but honestly, the food makes up for everything. 😋

Auntie Lisa gave us very good service and was very polite in serving us. She was clear in telling us PayNow was not available, and her cordial smile made our meals so enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Must try their legendary teobokki with fried chicken combo! That is super amazing! They have two flavour, one is soy, another one is spicy. I love the soy version! The best part for this dish is the chewy rice cake is fried at outer layer, which makes the outside is so crispy! Amazing texture. For the three layer pork, if you are the one who like thick pork, then you will definitely like this. They cut it so thick, and it will be very satisfying to have it with Korean sauce, and omelette rice!
