A fresh, new take on Korean dining unfolds in Singapore with the debut of GOCHU, a restaurant named after the Korean chili pepper (고추 ) — a symbol of bold flavor and warmth. More than just another dining destination, GOCHU is a tranquil escape that celebrates the authenticity and artistry of Korean cuisine.

At its heart is the Deep-Fried Chili Peppers, the signature dish embodying the “True Taste of Korea.” A beloved Korean market snack, each crisp green chili is stuffed with seasoned pork, tofu, and various vegetables, creating a rich and profound flavor that can only be found at GOCHU.

Following the success of Songgyeok, Modu, and Drim in Singapore’s dining scene, GOCHU is the latest addition to Buldok Corporation’s growing portfolio. The spotlight now turns to pork, grilled to perfection over traditional oakwood flames — a time-honored technique from Korea that infuses every bite with a rich, smoky character.

Nestled within the Orchid Golf Club, GOCHU offers an escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. Its most distinctive feature is its unique “cave” concept interior — built with stone textures and glass walls, the restaurant creates an atmosphere where diners can savor the essence of true Korean flavor.

From Fire to Table: The Heart of GOCHU’s Fire

Every grill at GOCHU begins with carefully selected premium oakwood, prized for its clean burn, strong firepower, and distinctive aroma. Dedicated fire masters then prepare each cut over blazing oakwood flames, before finishing it tableside — an immersive, multi-sensory dining experience blending sight, sound, and taste.

GOCHU’s signatures include:

• Deep-Fried Chili Peppers: A crispy fried chili filled with a savory mix of pork, tofu, and vegetables — a modern tribute to Korea’s beloved street food.
• Pork Ribs BBQ: Slow-cooked for tenderness, then seared over oak flames and finished on a smokeless grill for that perfect balance of depth and char.
• Authentic Korean Noodles: From rich and savory Black Soybean Noodles to freshly milled buckwheat varieties, all are made in the traditional Korean way.
• Ppyeo Jjim & Haejangguk (Hangover soup): Both are crafted with utmost sincerity, with the Ppeyo Jjim simmered for hours to create a deep, rich flavor, while the Haejangguk offers a refreshing and satisfying experience.

To complement the feast, GOCHU introduces a refreshing lineup of Korean-inspired highballs — the earthy Ginseng Highball and the fruit-forward Bokbunja Highball, both made to balance the intense oak-grilled flavors.

Led by a Korean chef and rooted in sincerity, GOCHU prides itself on serving authenticity, craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality in every dish. With ingredients sourced directly from Korea and a menu prepared entirely by hand, every dish is a testament to their dedication to presenting the “true” taste of Korea, while offering Singaporeans a new take on Korean dining.
