The soy based stew was inedibly salty but they were kind enough to add some hot water and remake it for us. After the repair, the taste was good but still a bit heavy on the salt. The pancake was thin and delicious but I think the seafood ingredient was a little lacking. The condiment sauce that accompanies it pairs with the pancake well.

I loved the kimchi fried rice because it had a good balanced taste without being too heavy or spicy from the kimchi. The gimbap tasted fresh and simple without being ornately complicated.

Not that it should matter, but the owner is a nice Korean lady that comes very so often to check on you and make sure you are having a good meal.

Pro 1. Very friendly and polite lady boss can speak a little Malay language 2. Reasonable price 3. Nice food 4. I came at 930pm. Ask lady boss what time close, she tell nicely and ask me take my time to eat. No need to rush since they got to do cleaning too. (With mixture of korea and malay language)

Con 1. Worker got to improve of their work attitude. Since i came around 930pm. No one serve me till i walk to them at the back of the shop. Then she ask me sit at the front table n pass me the menu ask me to order immediately due to last call soon. (Without giving me more time to explore what they have in their menu. Therefore i felt very stress and got to order fast) 2. When the food serve, I ask waitress can I refill the side dish. She said yes but only until 955pm. (My food serve at 940pm). Personally think staff got to be train to be more friendly and polite. But not that typical staff attitude. They got to learn from their lady boss. The boss is way humble than her staff.

    Not a bad place for Korean BBQ. Wasn’t overly impressed though. But I think the locals like it as there are usually diners here.

    I did like their interesting wall decor. The tables are arranged a little tight but ok. Moving in and out is fairly easy. The staffs are friendly and tries their best to accommodate our request. But language barrier is a real issue with lots of them. End up a little stressed at times as chicken and duck cannot communicate well. ?

    As for the BBQ, they will cook it for you if they are not busy and they cook it quite well. Well seasoned and delicious, enjoyable when wrapped with the fresh greens. The 5 side dishes are ok but the onion and cucumber is subpar. Free refills as expected.

    The kimchi ramen is quite generous and the spice packs a punch as expected. The soya bean paste soup was also well made. A little salty but overall the taste was yummy and the soup has a nice body to it. The best thing is both came boiling hot. Perfect for those that like tongue burning soup.

    The pancake however was however quite disappointing. The centre of the pancake still had this undercooked powdery pockets. And the edges lacked the crispy crunch I enjoy. Probably needs a bit more time on the pan.

    All in all, not a bad place but few improvements will make it better.

    1. I like this place because it’s very airy. The good air movement reduces the residual smell you get on your clothes after eating. Tables are also spaced out well. The decor however could be much improved. Overall, looks lazy.

      Coming to the food, the bean paste stew is superb and a must try. Comes boiling hot. Nice balanced taste. The egg roll with cheese is well seasoned and the kimchi fried rice quite delicious.

      The seafood pancake however is quite disappointing. I can count the minimal kesian looking ‘seafood’ pieces with one hand and the taste of the pancake is subpar. The grilled octopus and meat I shouldn’t comment as we are supposed to do it ourselves but I asked them to do it. It was done a bit over and came out dry

      Drinks are delicious though and the staff attentive and helpful.

    4. Had the buffet dinner. Value for money. Ambiance was good. But there was no exhaust hood where we were seated so it was quite warm and smokey. Good thing is was well ventilated.
