Dae Jang Geum Korean Restaurant

The Dae Jang Geum Korean restaurant is located in section 14, Petaling Jaya. Not only does the restaurant offer the signature dishes of traditional Korean cuisine such as “Bulgogi” (beef soup), “GamJaTang” (which mean pork bone soup) and Kimchi, but it also provides a wide selection of side dishes that are comparable to those found in a Korean barbecue.

This makes Dae Jang Geum an ideal choice for lunch or dinner with friends or family members who share a common interest in culture and cuisine. Their food tastes very authentic as well. Not so sure how long this restaurant has been around but I know it’s quite old and established (on top of being well-known) for providing good and delicious food as well. Definitely a long-standing Korean restaurant. You also will get unlimited refills for their side dishes, like how Korean restaurants usually are.

If you’re stopping by during lunch, please try their Dosirak lunch set. It’s very cheap and affordable. Rm 15-20 for bento set and it comes with rice, 2 types of meat, 1 veggie and one deserts (which is usually fruits) and you still can request for side dishes if you want.

Gangnam88 BBQ Restaurant

Gangnam BBQ Restaurant is a chain business restaurant that specialises in Korean cuisine with a local twist. While retaining the authenticity of Korean food and taste, the owner aspires to cater to the locals taste as well; hence localising the taste to fit Malaysian’s standards. Gangnam88 BBQ Restaurant has been in Malaysia since 2012 and has stayed for 8 years till now. The restaurant’s promise is to serve fresh and quality Korean food. This first outlet of Gangnam88 BBQ Restaurant located in Solaris, Mont Kiara (which was opened back in 2012) before branching out to several places across KL/Selangor which includes Sunway Giza Mall, Bandar Puteri Puchong as well as Soho Ipoh, Perak.

Gangnam88 is good for family too. Their service is very quick as well and you do not have wait too long for your food. I like their galbi bbq pork. They serve alcohol drink, which goes well with the bbq meat.

p.s: both Korean restaurants is non-halal.
