Tucked inside Suntec City, Onggii is a cosy Korean spot dedicated to soulful traditional broths and stews — the kind that truly feels like home. The star here is their Signature Gomtang, a deeply comforting soup made by simmering bones for 28 hours to extract all that rich, nourishing flavour.
Dweji Gomtang 4.2/5
Dweji Gomtang ($16.90). Delivering beautifully layered broths that is hearty and soothing. You can even add noodles and/or rice into the soup, turning it into an even more satisfying bowl. The pork sliced into big pieces, tender, lean meat with a good ratio of fats. Other available gomtang available are So Gomtang (Ox Bones), Beef Wang Galbi Gomtang, Dak Gomtang (Chicken), Gamjatang (Pork Bone Soup).
Beef Ugeojitang 4/5
We also tried the Beef Ugeojitang ($19.90), served in a mildly spicy broth filled with beef strips and vegetables. Much like the Dweji Gomtang, diners can add the accompanying rice or noodles into the soup, turning it into a substantial one-bowl meal. The broth carries a gentle heat that adds depth to the overall flavour. However, while the soup itself was enjoyable, the beef strips were slightly tough.
So Galbi Jjim 4.2/5
Another highlight was the So Galbi Jjim ($34.90), tender braised beef ribs coated in a sweet, deeply flavoured sauce that makes it hard to stop at one bite. I like the part on the bone with a resistant from the tendon. It also comes with crunchy lotus root that has absorbed the sweet sauce.
For those seeking comforting Korean soups in the heart of the city, Onggii offers a satisfying selection of traditional broths that focus on depth of flavour and homely warmth. The slow-simmered gomtang delivers a nourishing and soothing experience, while dishes like the So Galbi Jjim provide a richer complement to the meal. Whether you are looking for a hearty bowl of soup or a comforting Korean meal, Onggii is a worthwhile stop when dining at Suntec City.
