2 of us shared the Collagen Ginseng Soup and since the sides are free top, we managed to eat till pretty full still.
The soup is very homely taste and very comforting. Enjoyed it! The fried pan cake goes really well with the dipping sauce. So I’ll recommend that as well.
Overall a good meal! Remember to scan the QR to secure your queue, then go shopping while waiting for them to call you.

I m pretty amazed by the food. I would give a 4 star but due to their tip top service esp the manager super attentive n even go the extra mile by giving us some ginseng to add into the soup some side dish to try for free. Truly appreciated him making an effort to make thgs so prefect giving me n my frenz such a wonderful first time experience so unforgettable. Thank u so much.
We had the beauty Samgyetang soup 10/10, tender chicken so flavourful soup w the glutinous texture rice , on mine. That was heavenly 😍
The Minari pancake 9/10, super love it too. Perfect w the sauce 🤤
Dried deep fried fish 5/10,. Alittle sweet, not to my liking.
Overall rating 9.5/10.

Food and service and atmosphere made the wait completely worthwhile. It felt like an authentic Korean experience — the chicken was incredibly tender, the rice perfectly sticky and chewy. The side dishes were spot on.
I also appreciated the quality serviettes and towels, which made the dining experience even more comfortable. Service was prompt, and everything was just so pleasant.
Splendid. Highly recommended.

We waited about an hour to get a table, but the food was worth it.
The Perilla Seed Samgyetang was my favourite — rich, comforting, and very flavourful. The Collagen Herbal and Hangover soups were also tasty in their own ways. Chicken was tender, the broth wasn’t too salty, and overall the meal felt very hearty.
Service was polite and the place has a cosy atmosphere. Would come back again, especially on a rainy day.

Came at 10.45am on a Saturday morning to get a queue number and only managed to get seated an hour later.
Food came fast and piping hot. Ingredients were fresh and the portion were generous. The dried pollock appetiser was good and felt like a traditional snack that i ate before. We could not finish the Minari pancake even though it was only 3 pieces as it was quite oily. The glutinous rice was so good with the perilla seeds and the black chicken ginseng soup.
Service was also friendly and prompt. Will be back again to try other flavours of the ginseng soup.

Tried the chicken ginseng soup at Modu in Mandarin Gallery and it was comforting and well executed. The broth was light yet flavourful, with a clean herbal taste that didn’t overpower the dish. The chicken was nicely cooked, making it a nourishing meal. A great option if you’re looking for something warm and wholesome. Be prepared for the long wait though.

We missed the slot right when they opened so had to wait for the 2nd seating. They say wait time is 90 minute but it's actually quite fast.
Once we placed our order the food arrived quite fast. The food was filling. The set was more than enough for 2 pax. I ordered the collagen chicke herbal soup, minari pancake and top up with the black sesame ice cream. They created new distinctive taste using traditional ingredients in a non-traditional way.
It was well worth the wait.

Tried the Samgyetang, and it was exceptional. The broth was deeply nourishing yet remarkably clean, with none of the heaviness that often comes with ginseng chicken soup. The chicken was tender and intact, infused all the way through, and thoughtfully garnished with ginseng, ginko, and aromatics that enhanced rather than overwhelmed the dish. Comforting, refined, and clearly cooked with intention. Presentation across the set was minimalist and tasteful, very much in line with the restaurant’s upscale positioning.
Ended with dessert, which surprised me. Subtle sweetness with a tinge of cheese and milk, excellent texture, and a clean finish, the kind of dessert that feels intentional rather than obligatory.
Service was calm, attentive, and unhurried, and the overall experience felt polished without being stiff. Modu delivers Korean food with restraint, depth, and modern elegance. A place I would happily return to for both comfort and quality.
Highly recommended.

It’s our wedding anniversary and we chose to have our dinner at the highly raved Modu. I’m so glad we did because overall it was Soo good! From how we were greeted warmly and politely at the registration by a beautiful lady in white. Followed by Ley who made our first visit here on our special date a memorable one. The chicken is tender, the soup is flavourful and rich. The atmosphere is cosy and the explanation of the dishes was very detailed and impressive. Shows how committed the staff is, and how worthy to visit! Highly recommended! We had the 2gather set with Perilla seed soup and Beauty Soup. Yummms!

We worshipped Korean cuisine, and this one has queues when they first open. So we took a Tuesday off (18.11.2025) and arrived here before 11:00, and was seated around 11:10
I guessed every items on the menu would be sensational, we ordered the 2- Gather menu $98++ for 2, I chose the Hangover soup, tbh I never had this soup in Seoul and my ‘virgin’ Hangover, let me say, deserves a Bib Gourmand. My date got the Beauty soup, and it was another winner. We enjoyed ourselves 100% and the service was above our expectations. And our server gave us a surprise complimentary treat one floor up Tofu-G, (sister of MODU I was told) he stamped our receipt to retrieve our sweets, I want to say thank you to you. One of the best Tuesday we had.
