Our take: OMMA Chicken Soup is doing something genuinely interesting in the hawker landscape — serving samgyetang-style Korean chicken soup, slow-simmered for eight hours without MSG, pork, or lard, at a price point that makes the restaurant equivalent feel absurd.

The $7.80 Ginseng Omma is the one to order: a whole drumstick-and-thigh portion cooked fall-off-the-bone tender, with wolfberries, ginkgo nuts, kimchi on the side, and a salt dip that lifts the entire bowl.

The broth is clean and naturally sweet rather than deeply 'gao' — those expecting a thick, intense Seoul-restaurant samgyetang should recalibrate expectations accordingly.

What you get here is a lighter, nourishing version that punches well above its hawker price tag, backed by chefs with Michelin-starred kitchen backgrounds.

The cracks are real but minor: rice portions can arrive mushy, soup volume in takeaway containers has been inconsistent, and the removal of sesame oil and complimentary kimchi for takeaway orders has quietly disappointed regulars.

Service at newer outlets is still finding its feet.

Verdict: Best suited for weekday dine-in — go before noon to beat the queue and avoid the sold-out risk.

Solo diners and pairs seeking a clean, restorative meal at under $10 a head will find this one of the better-value bowls in Singapore right now.

What customers say

OMMA Chicken Soup has built strong public enthusiasm for its Korean-style samgyetang served at hawker prices (from $6.80), with the Ginseng and Collagen Omma soups drawing consistent praise for their fall-off-the-bone tender chicken, clean MSG-free broths, and well-regarded house kimchi.

Customers frequently highlight exceptional value relative to comparable restaurant samgyetang, with the eight-hour slow-simmered broth and fresh ingredients like goji berries, ginkgo nuts, and red dates standing out as recurring highlights across both Bedok 216 and Alexandra Village locations.

However, a segment of reviewers note inconsistencies in execution — including soup portions that vary between orders, occasionally undercooked rice, and a mild ginseng flavour that some feel falls short of richer restaurant-grade versions.

Operational concerns have emerged around reduced accompaniments for takeaway orders, uneven staff communication at newer outlets such as Compass One, and the stall selling out before closing time, though queue speed is generally praised.

“My first time buying 2 soups takeaway. I was told no kimchi will be given for takeaway they only give dine in very little bit. When I ordered the kimchi takeaway it was very little and they charged for the small box same as the big box which is quite unreasonable and meaningless to pay for it. They didn't help to key in or provide stamps in your account when I got home and realized it. The service is unfriendly even if the queue is long.”

Definitely cheaper for sure. To add on, I can’t really call this a Samgyetang since their version doesn’t feature a whole chicken stuffed with glutinous rice and many other ingredients… ➰ 📍OMMA Chick

Went a few weeks back on a weekday and they already closed. Came here for early lunch today. Initially, wanted to order just one soup for sharing between my wife and I but decided to try 2 soups instead. Had the collagen chicken soup with rice and the ginseng chicken soup with noodle (mee sua). Both were excellent but if I had to choose just one, I'll go with the ginseng chicken soup. The chicken leg is so tender and drops off from the bone easily. If you prefer, you can also dip into the salt provided for an enhanced flavour. It lso comes with some kimchi on the side. Price is very reasonable for the quality of food. The queue is quite long, so be prepared to wait.

Soup was quite tasty and gelatinous. They give seasoning powder and soy sauce on the side for you to tailor your own level of umami/saltiness Chicken portions are generous. It's sou-vided and quite tender, though the meat could be a bit more seasoned The mee sua is nice but the portion is a bit small. The rice is one area where they can really improve, mine came out a bit mushy I've had the collagen chicken soup and sesame collagen chicken soup. Overall, I like this place and will continue to support and patronize it Be prepared to queue a bit

What a great additional to a hawker centre already with so many other yummy food. The Korean ginseng chicken, although with one ginseng only and the look, but the taste is surely living up to it's hype. The ginseng is strong but not over-powering, clear soup with good portion of chicken meat, rice, and kimchi side. Also recommend to order extra kimchi to share. Next time will try the collagen soup to taste the difference, but surely will be back for the ginseng chicken soup if craving for it or on a rain day.

Korean Chicken Soup from $6.80 in Singapore?! OMMA Chicken Soup is proving that you do not need to spend big bucks for a restorative bowl of Korean chicken soup. This stall features recipes from two chefs with 1-star Michelin backgrounds. Accordingly, the broth is slow-simmered for eight hours without MSG, pork or lard. I tried the Ginseng Omma ($7.80). While the soup could be richer and more ‘gao-gao’, it had a clean natural sweetness, and chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender. Where to

🐓🍲 $7.80 Korean Chicken Soup in this economy?! We visited OMMA Chicken Soup @ommachickensoup at Alexandra Village Food Center for some comfy nourishing soup. Honestly, the Ginseng Omma is very value-for-money since you get the whole chicken drumstick+thigh in one pot! The meat is fresh & simmered till off-the-bone-tender & tasted fresh, and it’s best enjoyed with pepper salt dip or kimchi to elevate the meaty flavors. While the broth is not as gao compared to the more 𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘴 samgyetang el
