B	B V on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Delicious dinner at NAE:UM. Online reservations at the restaurant have been booked until mid feb, so quite lucky we got a table as someone else cancelled. The food is definitely worth the long waitlist. The restaurant serves modern Korean food and we had Episode 2 which is inspired by inspired by ingredients and foods from the mountains of Korea. Decor is simple but elegant befitting the presentation of the food and the flavours on display. Great service and an enjoyable experience overall. Though all courses were great, following were the standout dishes: 1. Duckgalbi tart 2. Naengchae 3. Iberico terderloin and the accompanying mashed potato 4. Mandarin
C	Cole M on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (Episode 2) Korean flavours/dishes wonderfully blended into fine dining presentations. Somyeon def worth getting, if available. Great restaurant design, thoughtful down to the tables and menus. Will return.
M	Matthew Lee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Exceptional! Just hard to imagine simple ingredients used by Koreans can elevate food to this level. And really admire Chef Han's creativity to deliver such delicate and innovative dishes. There was definitely nothing to fault on the food, service of the staff was good, totally enjoyed the meal. Looking forward to the next episode!
S	Stephanie Wong on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was my first time having modern or elevated Korean cuisine and Naeum was a wonderful discovery. I was amazed by how much the dishes were packed with the typical Korean flavours, without being at all your typical Korean dishes. For the price point, the entire course was really worth it. Will definitely return to try the next Episodes!
I	Isaac Ho on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Modern Korean Chef Menu (“omakase”). Not too sure is it 2 seating but was told dinning is a 2 hour time limit. The renovation is nice, quite typical of current setting. Due to the covid restrictions (still 2 pax), the place can’t really hold a lot of people. The menu is simple, staff is friendly. The food is nice but portion is really really small and items are quite few. The major setback is the waiting time in between dishes, probably coz we are fast eaters and have to wait for the rest as they sync the dishes together. Another feedback, probably we have some expectations with Korean food being hearty in portion and to an extent, some soup. Unfortunately, there wasnt a soup base to finish off or to start with. The ingredients are good and the pricing is ok for the amount of food.
C	Callista on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ‘Episode 2: Mountain Lodge’ Spectacular taste bud adventure and journey here at NAE:UM! It’s best described as a dance party in your mouth, with every dish hitting a home run, starting from the snacks to the last item which left a wonderful lingering aftertaste - having you crave for more. Love the strong flavors and my ultimate favorite would have to be the Somyeon! Would recommend that everyone gets the Somyeon (if available). I would think that NAE:UM is almost Michelin ready - but not after a bit more fine tuning. Looking forward to ‘Episode 3’! Awesome journey Chef Louis Han and team, keep going strong with your creativity!
S	Soan Lin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nae um Korean Fine Dining Experience Nice presentation of all the dishes - Enjoyed the course - love the buckwheat noodle with striped jack. Nice and harmonious combination, the sauce really elevated the enjoyment of the dish.
B	Bow K. Techataveekijkul on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was impressed by the minimal and woody decor. The day we went, the restaurant served “Episode 2: Seaside Dreams” which is priced at $188++ for a 8-course meal. For this course, the ingredients are mainly seafoods and some were imported from Korea. The ingredients were very fresh and tasted really good. All of the dished were light and refreshing. Although we had the 8-course meal, we didn’t feel overwhelmed by the amount of food. Although I really like the place, I’m doubting if it’s worth the price we paid.
