If Korean BBQs are too expensive to go for on a regular basis, then a new food stall at Great World City will have you partially covered.
Located at the mall's food court, the Korean-run 8282 Korea offers free-flow buffet for its dishes at S$9.90 nett .

While there are no marinated meats like beef or pork belly, the buffet serves typical Korean dishes found in its casual dining scene, such as tteokbokki (rice cakes), fried chicken, japchae ( stir-fried glass noodles), Kimchi fried rice, and more.

S$9.90 8282 korea buffet, can get free refill within 1hr, need to show receipt, used food junction card got 10% off, so is S$8.90 nett. Had kimchi fried rice instead of white rice this time, topped with not too sour kimchi. The kimchi pancake is nicer than last time I tried, more fragrant. The japchae, Korean glass noodles very nice with the sweetness of sesame oil..refilled some for second round. #longbean #bbqpork #spicyfriedchickenwinganddrumlet Tried their cinnamon punch, it is beside the kimchi, thought is a sauce, but saw on Instagram, it is a drink.. taste not bad, got a slight ginger like taste, not too sweet and cooling. Perhaps it would good they indicate it is a free DRINK for the customers. The soup today is Too salty, feedback to the auntie, the auntie say it is slightly salty, hmm it is quite salty. Prefer their bean sprout soup that I had it the previous time. Today don't have my favourite tteokokki(Korean rice cake). Their tteokokki is nice. Must Try

Unbelievably cheap authentic korean buffet! You can get around 13 different delicious menu free flow everyday cooked by korean chef. Their food is so flavourful and we really enjoy the food there. You can tell a good korean restaurant from its kimchi. Yes, their kimchi is very good, fresh, and not too sour. They also serve warm rice, soup, egg, sauces, sidedishes, and drink too. What we love most is the Japchae, we can taste the sesame oil in it. It’s really good ❤️ For the drink, we try sweet cinnamon punch and it turns out really nice too. We definitely will come back for our craving for korean food there! Follow their account @8282sg for more menu update. PS: they serve catering, take away, and delivery too. Thankyou @8282sg for inviting and Sujin for hosting 🙏 💰$9.9/person 📍Great World City B1 Food Junction, 1 Kim Seng Promenade 237894 Singapore ⏱10.00AM-10.00PM Rate (5/5) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ -A MUST TRY- #koreanfood #koreanbuffet #koreanfoodlover #kimchi #topokki #kimchifriedrice #koreanpancake #sweetcinnamon #8282sg #greatworldcity #foodjunction #nomnom #nomnomnom #sgfood #sgfoodie #igsg #burpple #sgfoddies #sgfoodporn #sgfoodblogger #sgig

The menu changes slightly from week to week as well, so you'll get some variety if you visit on different occasions.
However, note that the buffet ends at 2pm on weekdays, and they offer a different buffet on Saturdays for Korean street food (also S$9.90 ).
