Best Korean Restaurants in Penang

If you're in the mood for some traditional Korean dishes, then ShwimPyo at Plaza Ivory is certainly a place worth visiting. Don't expect much from the decor though as the place is as bare as it gets. Fortunately, the colour and vibrancy lies with their dishes for all their dishes are cooked with passion and love. From stews to rice and side dishes to desserts, everything here is as Korean as it gets. Additionally, the prices here are really reasonable and the portion is great! So in conclusion, Korean Cafe ShwimPyo is definitely a great place for simple and hearty Korean food.

Daorae Korean BBQ is without a doubt, one of the earliest Korean restaurant to have set foot in Malaysia, way before the rush of K-wave! Daorae is also one of the more prestigious restaurant as they only serve fairly premium meat, seafood and side dishes.You can also expect the service to be on point, where the waiters will do all the cooking for you. If you're confident or rather, prefer your own way of BBQing, by all means, just mention it to the staffs and they will allow you to do so. Last but not least, expect the prices to be a little higher than usual!

Chun Chuan Dak Galbi Korean Food Restaurant is located at Vantage Desiran Tanjung, surprisingly close to a Daorae the competitor. The restaurant is opened and operated by a native Korean who had imported the famous Chun Chuan delicacy all the way to Penang. The infamous Dakgalbi comes with cabbage, Korean rice cake, sweet potato and a whole lot of chicken. The substantial element in this dish is the sweet and spicy seasoning sauce, aka Gochujang. The superb seasoning will surely blow your mind and taste buds! For extra oomph, do add ramen noodles and cheese into the delectable mix.

Taking up a total of 4 shoplots, KO.B.Q Korean Restaurant at Precinct 10 is an absolutely beast! The massive size of the restaurant, coupled with their menu makes it one of the most attractive Korean dining restaurants in Penang. Unfortunately, they do not offer buffet but their set meals are fairly reasonable. They are also always having promotions, which helps them promote different sections of the menu. A cozy and fun-filled dining environment, fresh meat, seafood and vegetables, excellent service and reasonable pricing - what's not to love about KO.B.Q Korean Restaurant?
