NAEUM is a modern-Korean restaurant located just a short stroll away from Singapore’s Chinatown. It is accessible via various transport options such as the MRT (Maxwell) or nearby bus stops. Upon entering the venue, you’ll be greeted by a modern and intimate atmosphere with sleek wood furnishings; this creates a comfortable environment to enjoy your meal. The restaurant staff are all incredibly kind and helpful, with staff carefully explaining each dish to make sure that diners have the best experience possible. As for the food, I thoroughly enjoyed each bite of the degustation menu experience. The chefs truly excel at crafting new menus each season, grounded by the freshest produce at the time of your experience. During my visit in the summer months, I enjoyed the seamless combination of high-quality ingredients and modern-twists on Korean cuisine. The cold buckwheat noodles with a great chew and perfect sauce to coat it paired perfectly with the warm and comforting morel dumpling. The other dishes crafted from high-quality abalone and pork were also great. When it was time for dessert, I was also pleasantly surprised by the truffle dessert. The layering of the white chocolate, truffle foam, and finally fresh black truffle created an earthy and savoury taste, perfect for any truffle lover like myself. Overall, I had an amazing experience at NAEUM and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a modern, refined take on Korean cuisine.

Had a wonderful dining experience during my first visit in Jun 2026.
Right when you walk in, you get this super cozy, homey vibe that makes you feel comfortable right away—none of that stiff, overly formal fine-dining awkwardness.
NAE:UM means "a fragrance that evokes memories," which honestly couldn’t be a more perfect name for this place. A newly upgraded, Michelin-starred spot that takes classic Korean food and blends it with Chef Han’s own global travel story. It is contemporary and creative, but every single bite still feels rooted in real Korean flavors and personal nostalgia. The whole meal felt like a beautiful adventure. Every course is well executed and artfully plated.
Special praise goes to the front-of-house team for their impeccable hospitality and thoughtful attention to detail—like subtly wiping away the water droplets that pooled on the table from our cold drinks. Warm, welcoming, and down-to-earth, their genuine enthusiasm for the menu truly elevated the entire experience.

Korean Fine Dining restaurant which prepared by Korean Chef Han. All dishes were cooked to its perfection and plates beautifully. Every details was so precise and decorated with small flowers. Not a must to order the A5 Waygu beef. The servers would give a short brief on every dishes on how it was cooked and how the sequences to be eaten not to override the taste of the next dishes. Each pax at $288 and wine starting from $200 onwards. Better to make a reservation. It’s was a great experience.
