 Steamed Egg: A complimentary steamed egg starter, the egg was tasteless. It was not a good dish. 

 Cold Noodles in chilled broth ($15++): The noodle was hard and chewy. It was difficult to eat. The broth was a bit bland too.

The marinated beef and their spicy BBQ pork and chicken is pretty good too. Sorry for no have a photo of those meat. 

Services are not bad and most of them are quite friendly.
They always serve us with a smile. That's pretty rare in a Korean restaurant in SG to me.
The prices are acceptable with the refillable side dishes and fresh meats!
There is NO GST with only 10% service charge. 
would recommend Superstar K for small group of 3-4 friends which we feel is most comfortable to seat around the table.
The food as decent. It's slightly better than other korean bbq restaurant.

The meat over at Bornga was really good! Especially their beef. The beef was doused in their special sauce. 

Generally Bornga was just one of the normal korean restaurant. The food was really good, but not their service. The service was real bad over here. Have a bad experience with the waiter. It worth a try for their BBQ meat.

Chowon Garden was very famous among those office peoples around tanjong pagar. During lunch time, usually it was packed by those office people, as the chowon garden also offer lunch set meal.
