The side dishes are all-you-can-eat, and the average food quality is also very good. The boss often checks the situation in the store. It is a restaurant we often visit.

Korean Cuisine which is really authentic, good cuts of varieties of Pork & Chicken for the BBQ and good variety of side dishes, the (fruit, vegetable & macaroni salad) is really commendable for a side dish. Soju & Yogurt Soju is also available. Friendly Owner (Korean) and service does provide good hassle free services. The Ginseng Chicken Soup is a must try though not many would like to slightly bland taste (supposed to be cooked that way) and also the cold/ hot served buckwheat noodle. Do give it a try if you want authentic Korean cuisine. Their Kim Chi and Kim Chi Soup is really GREAT !!!

No matter how many times my family and I come here for Korean food, we never get tired of it. Personally, I’m obsessed with their kimchi jjigae, it's got the perfect level of spice, just the right tang from the kimchi, and delivers that comforting warmth you want from a good stew. Their Korean BBQ is just as impressive. You can choose to grill the meat yourself or have the staff do it for you and either way, it's always delicious. The prices are super reasonable for the portions you get, making it great value. Plus, they offer free tea and soup, and the self-serve side dishes are unlimited!definitely a bonus! All in all, this place never disappoints.

This time, our #kotakemuningeats landed us in “BBQ MA EUL CUP BAB” #koreanfood. Korean food is nothing new for me. Have devoured into #koreaneats every now and then, mostly alone, because none of my dining companions are as adventurous as me. On this day, thankfully my dining companion didn’t resist, in this corner lot #koreanrestaurant. Ambiance - spacious and clean, we opting for our seats at the outside dining area. Menu - enough choices, in fact, ample choices. Instead of settling for #hotgrill Korean bbq, we called for - #bibimbap - pork version #doenjangjjigae aka tofu veggie Korean soup. #kimchipancake #greentea pot. Plus, instead of the sides being served as in other #koreaneateries, here, the concept is help yourself. Verdict - too much of food for the two of us. So, I packed back the pancake, which enlivened our tastebuds. Likewise, bibimbap/Korean rice fish, soup as well, and the side dishes, as always, is a #koreapleasure. Bill - RM79.20 Service - attentive Popularity - packed back to back with customers on this Sunday. #DineWithNavaK

We ordered Set 1 (RM95) which comes with pork belly, marinated pork, and kimchi jjigae. The staff helped grill the meat for us. The marinated pork was tender and flavorful, but the pork belly was a bit tough and the portion was smaller compared to the marinated one. The kimchi jjigae was quite watery and not really to my taste, though the flavor was okay. We also ordered the ala carte pajeon (mix of kimchi and seafood) for RM30 — it was really nice and crunchy, especially the kimchi part. The banchan and water are refillable. Overall, we had a pleasant dinner here. Of course, taste may vary depending on individual preference.
