Seorae Breakfast Menu
Seorae does not serve breakfast in Singapore, so there is no Seorae breakfast menu to order from. The restaurant opens at 11.30am daily, and the earliest food you can get is the weekday lunch menu, which starts at S$10.90 and runs until 4pm. If you’re set on a morning visit, the closest thing to breakfast here is a hot stew or a grilled dakgalbi lunch set, and this guide covers exactly what to order and what it costs. For the full grill range, see the Seorae menu hub.
Does Seorae serve breakfast in Singapore?
No. Seorae is a Korean charcoal BBQ restaurant, and every outlet opens at 11.30am, which is already late morning. There is no breakfast service, no breakfast set, and no early opening for morning diners. Some outlets list an 11am opening on weekends, Plaza Singapura and JEM among them, but even that is brunch at best, and the menu is the same lunch menu served all day. If you turn up at 9am hoping for Korean breakfast, you’ll be standing outside a closed mall restaurant, so plan for 11.30am or later.
The four current outlets are JEM, NEX, Plaza Singapura and Tampines Mall, and all four close at 10pm. Two older branches, Compass One in Sengkang and Northpoint City in Yishun, have come off Seorae’s own locations page, so call before travelling to either one. Prices and the menu are identical across the outlets, so pick whichever is closest to you. If you’re feeding kids in the morning instead, the Seorae kids menu covers the child-friendly picks from the same lunch range.
What can you eat at Seorae in the morning?
From 11.30am you can order anything on the lunch menu, and the full grill menu is available too. The lunch sets are the smart pick in the morning: sotbap rice pots, stews or noodles with complimentary banchan and soup, all served until 4pm on weekdays. The cheapest set, from S$10.90, is a noodle set rather than grilled meat, while the cheapest actual grill is the dakgalbi lunch set at S$14.90. The grill is lit from opening, so nothing stops you ordering the signature galmaegisal at 11.30am if that’s what you came for.
| Earliest morning option | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Weekday lunch set (noodles) | From S$10.90 | Noodle set with complimentary banchan and soup, served until 4pm. |
| Dakgalbi grilled lunch set | S$14.90 | Charcoal-grilled spicy chicken. The cheapest grilled lunch set. |
| Galmaegisal 150g | S$24.90 | Signature pork skirt, original, garlic or spicy. Available from opening. |
| 100 Knife Cuts BBQ lunch set for 2 | S$29.90 | U.P. S$60.70. Flower pork belly and moksal with sotbap, japchae and soups. |
| Sotbap Set for 2 | S$34.90 | Tray with 100 Knife Cuts pork belly and nuruk moksal, kimchi jjim and banchan. |
The weekday lunch sets are your earliest real meal
The lunch sets are built for exactly this slot: quick, filling, and far cheaper than dinner. Each one comes with banchan and soup, and the sotbap rice pots are the most breakfast-like of the lot, hot rice with grilled meat on top, eaten with kimchi and seaweed soup. Top up S$1 for a glass of barley tea or a soft drink with the Sotbap Set, which is the cheapest drink you’ll find in the restaurant. Weekday lunch is also the easiest time to walk in, since the weekend dinner rush is the only slot that genuinely fills up.
What to order if you arrive right at opening
If you’re first through the door at 11.30am, order the dakgalbi lunch set at S$14.90. It’s grilled to order, it’s the cheapest way onto the charcoal grill, and it’s lighter than a full pork belly set first thing in the day. If there are two of you, skip the solo sets and take the 100 Knife Cuts BBQ lunch set for S$29.90 instead: flower pork belly, moksal, sotbap rice, japchae and two seaweed soups for about S$15 a head, which is the best-value grill session in Singapore right now. For the full list of cuts and set prices, the Seorae menu card has every item with its price.
How much does the Seorae breakfast menu cost?
Since there’s no breakfast menu, the real question is what a late-morning meal costs, and the answer is S$10.90 to S$34.90 before service charge and GST. The quoted prices are before the 10 percent service charge and 9 percent GST, which together add about 19.9 percent, so a S$10.90 lunch set is really about S$13.10 at the till. The table below shows the real cost of each morning option.
| Morning meal | Menu price | About, with service and GST |
|---|---|---|
| Solo, noodle lunch set | S$10.90 | About S$13.10. The cheapest way into a Seorae outlet. |
| Solo, dakgalbi grilled lunch set | S$14.90 | About S$17.90. The cheapest grilled meal in the morning. |
| Two sharing, 100 Knife Cuts lunch set | S$29.90 | About S$35.90 for two, roughly S$18 a head. |
| Two sharing, Sotbap Set | S$34.90 | About S$41.90 for two, roughly S$21 a head. |
| Solo, galmaegisal 150g with rice | S$24.90 | About S$29.90 before rice and drinks. The signature cut from opening. |
The money-saving trick for a morning visit is the booking code. Seorae’s official reservation page takes EARLYBIRD30 in the Message field for 30 percent off a 2pm to 5pm booking, or EARLYBIRD20 for 20 percent off at any other hour, a la carte only. A late lunch at 2pm with that code turns the dakgalbi set into roughly a S$10 meal, which is hard to beat for charcoal-grilled food in a mall.
