Key summary: Seoul Yummy will close its last outlet at Kallang Wave Mall on Thursday, 22 October 2026, and will offer 18% off its signature Korean army stew until the closing date — to receive the discount diners must say "I will miss Seoul Yummy" to any staff member when ordering.
When to go: dates, opening hours, crowd-avoidance strategy
- Official closing date: 22 October 2026 (last day of trade). This date is reported by multiple media outlets citing store sources.
- Discount period: From now until the final day, 22 October 2026, Seoul Yummy is reported to apply an 18% discount to its signature army stew. The discount must be requested in-store by saying the required phrase when ordering.
- When not to go: The outlet is near the Kallang sporting precinct and will be very crowded during match nights, concerts and other events. Aim for weekday daytime (about 11:30am–2:00pm) or weekday evenings without events to avoid long waits.
- Practical check: Call ahead to confirm opening hours and any changes on the closing week or the final day. The mall shop listing includes a contact number; some guides also list an alternate contact number—use whichever is available to check before leaving.

How to get the discount, ordering phrase, and payment tips
- Discount phrase (required): To receive the 18% discount in-store, you must say exactly "I will miss Seoul Yummy" to a staff member when ordering. Say this before the bill is printed, as the discount may not be applied after the receipt is issued.
- Discount scope: Reports indicate the 18% discount applies to the "signature Korean army stew" item. Mini versions or other single dishes/sets may not be included—confirm with staff when ordering.
- Final price: Service charge and GST may still apply after the 18% discount. For example, a menu price of S$39.80 with 18% off may have additional taxes and service fees added at payment.
Who this advice is for — trade-offs
- Nostalgia visitors: Suitable if you want to experience the brand's final days. Expect crowds in the closing week and allow time for waiting.
- Practical solo/lunch diners: While single portions exist, the signature discount is likely limited to sharing stews, so call ahead on a weekday lunchtime to confirm options and whether the discount will apply to your intended order.
- Groups/parties: The shared stew format is convenient for groups, but near the final date expect potential stock shortages or slower service.
Uncertainty: Media reports quote store representatives, but as of publication there may be no separate official closure notice on the restaurant's own channels. Final-week and final-day opening hours, stock levels and discount application can change; confirm directly with the outlet before visiting.
Quick checklist (what to confirm before you go)
- Confirm the date you plan to visit: is it the closing day (2026-10-22)? If so, allow extra time for queues.
- Call the store before leaving to check opening hours, last order times and stock of popular stews. Use the mall listing contact or any publicly available shop numbers.
- When ordering, say the exact phrase "I will miss Seoul Yummy" to the staff to request the 18% discount. The discount may not be applied after the receipt is printed.
- Declare any allergies (seafood, dairy, pork, beef, etc.) and request menu options (With/Without Beef, Spicy/Non-Spicy) as needed.
