Best Korean Restaurants in Penang

Written by Updated ago

When most people think of Korean food, what comes to their mind is kimchi and a whole lot of banchans (side dishes). But that’s only a slice of the cake. Although Korean cuisine is usually an acquired taste, many Malaysians have grown to love Korean cuisine for its rare uniqueness. Their unique twists in common delights like fried rice, stews and grilled meats are nothing but delicious. Adhering to the growing demand, many new restaurants have evolved to a more modern and sophisticated Korean dining which also implements localised dishes suitable for the local Penangites. Just remember to go over with a hungry tummy.

    Kim's Korea RestaurantNon halal 01f78899591256b47a2708a65f6538333b86089a30fbd22545a41deece4ea490

    Here, you should give a go at their Chuncheon Dakgalbi, spicy stir-fried marinated chicken with cabbage, onion, sweet potato and rice cake in a spicy red chilli sauce. Although a little pricey, average RM30 per meal, the portion and flavours justify it well. The best part is patrons can throw a haystack of cheese on top of the stir-fried goodness. Besides the main attraction here, there are other authentic Korean dishes to try too. Another plus point is their advance induction cooker, which does not create excessive smoke during cooking.

    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?
