A renowned name in Korea’s samgyetang scene has officially arrived in Singapore with the opening of JIHO Hanbang Samgyetang SBCD at Cross Street. Established in Korea in 1991, JIHO has built a loyal following over three decades, growing to more than 80 outlets across Korea and international markets. Its Singapore debut, in partnership with established Korean dining brand SBCD, introduces local diners to one of Korea’s most celebrated interpretations of the traditional ginseng chicken soup.
At the heart of JIHO’s offering is its hanbang-inspired approach to samgyetang, drawing from the long-standing Korean tradition of using natural herbs and medicinal ingredients to create nourishing meals. The result is a deeply comforting bowl that balances rich flavours with restorative qualities, positioning samgyetang as more than just a soup, but a complete and wholesome dining experience. Built on decades of refinement, the brand’s signature recipes reflect a commitment to heritage, craftsmanship, and the enduring role of food in Korean wellness culture.
While samgyetang remains the centrepiece, the menu extends beyond its signature soup with a range of Korean dishes designed for sharing. Highlights include appetisers such as the Squid & Minari Salad, which combines fresh vegetables, seafood, and a vibrant sweet-spicy dressing for a refreshing contrast to the hearty mains. Bringing together Korea’s trusted samgyetang legacy and SBCD’s expertise in the local market, JIHO Hanbang Samgyetang SBCD offers a new destination for diners seeking authentic Korean comfort food in the heart of Singapore.
