Da On Fine Korean Cuisine believes that the essence of culinary art goes beyond food preparation. Da On, located in Pavilion, delivers authentic traditional Korean food made with the finest ingredients available in Korea. Try their Bul Gogi, Sam Gye Tang, and Galbi Tang, which are all delicious. They have a broad choice of meats and cuts to choose from, all of which are as fresh as they can be. Their beef is extremely noteworthy, therefore anyone visiting for the first time should get it. They also have ox tongue, which is extremely soft and juicy. The main course is unquestionably won by soft tofu soup and kimchi soup.

Da On Fine takes pride in its fantastic staff and fresh ingredients. It's a little more expensive, but it's well worth it. The restaurant can also accommodate large groups. So, if you're planning a special occasion, this is a terrific place to take everyone. What distinguishes this establishment is its one-of-a-kind ventilation system for the BBQs. Instead of standard overhead vents, a suction mechanism beneath each grill extracts any smoke from the space. This prevents you from smelling like your food the entire drive home.

Sae Ma Eul BBQ occupies the corner lot on Jalan Solaris 4 and is packed with patrons tucking into slivers of barbequed meats. In this restaurant, their spicy rice balls top the bill. The rice ball contains seaweed, pork, chili paste, and chili flakes. It is recommended that the rice balls be grilled beforehand to enhance their scent. Don't forget to accompany your grilled steak with delectable melted cheese if you're a cheese lover! There is a BBQ set that includes pork belly, hog shoulder, marinated baby octopus, and kimchi jjigae. The pork belly and shoulder are soft and flavorful, with charred bits along the sides. This complements the dipping sauces given. The baby octopus, marinated with gochujang for a spicy-sweet flavor, is also delicious. The texture is incredibly soft, and each mouthful is somewhat crispy due to the hot grill.

The tables are placed a little too close for comfort. In this restaurant, you get to be more hands-on (literally) with your food. The rice ball dish comes with a pair of gloves for you to mix and mold the rice. You grill your meats and the staff will assist whenever they can, or if they deem you incapable of manning the grill.

Nanda Chicken in Solaris Mont Kiara serves Korean fried chicken with all the cheese you can stomach. And there are 3 main flavour categories provided: cheese, crispy and special. On a circular pan, everything is elegantly arranged with melted cheese. The Snow Cheese Chicken, which consists of fried boneless chicken pieces with a pool of mozzarella cheese on the side, is arguably Nanda Chicken's best seller. Almost every table at the restaurant would order this, which comes in crispy, seasoned, soy, spicy soy, fire spicy, or half-and-half options. Soy Chicken (RM48 – whole) is also tasty. You have the choice of having it boneless or with bone. Nanda utilizes ordinary chicken, whilst the other fried chicken place uses spring chicken, which accounts for the difference in meat texture. There's also the Nanda Family Set, which includes Snow Cheese Chicken, Tteokbokki, salad, and fries.

Water is chargeable (RM1 per glass, no refills) which is rather off-putting if you compare Nanda Chicken to other Korean restaurants in the area. Makgeolli is RM29 per bottle if you’re into Korean rice wine. The staff and service are reviewed to be good.

Make it cheesy-licious by adding their cheese ring! You may even top it off with ramen, fried rice, or topokki to complete the picture!

Dakgalbi sets are the menu's centerpiece, with marinated chicken in a rich sauce obviously made with Korean gochujang chili pepper paste, paired with sliced potatoes, rice cakes, cabbage, leeks, noodles, and a plethora of other ingredients, in princely servings for two to four people. The creamy savouriness of the cheese matches the hot sting of the chili paste, resulting in numerous levels of flavor and texture. Everything works together, with the soft chicken providing protein, the crisp vegetables providing fiber, and the firm, substantial noodles providing the carb base that holds it all together. If you prefer a taste of the ocean, the Seafood Dakgalbi should float your boat, brimming with mussels, shrimp, squid, octopus and bean sprouts. Other Dakgalbi sets include the Hot and Spicy Dakgalbi and the Bulgogi Dakgalbi (with chicken prepared bulgogi-style in the manner that evokes barbecues, making it the non-spicy option).

For some traditional Korean dishes that aren’t BBQ, Buldojang is the place to try. The popular items to try here are their TangSuyuk, Jjajangmyeon, and Jjambong. However, their fried dumplings are also a good choice. If you come with a larger group, then you get the chance to try even more of their amazing dishes. Buldojang in Desa Sri Hartamas serves decent jajangmyeon, it is apparently the go-to spot for Koreans living in that area.

The jajangmyeon here is delicious since the sauce is thick without being gloopy and the minced pork has a nice bite to it. Portions are also reasonable, with a large bowl of jajangmyeon comfortably feeding 2-3 adults. It goes great with some radish pickles because of the combination of sweet, sour, and crunchy cuts through the richness of the noodles. Tangsuyuk (Fried Pork with Sweet and Sour Sauce) is pretty good, with the fried pork slices remaining crisp despite a heavy coating of sweet and sour sauce. Spicy soup noodles are available in two varieties: pork and seafood. The stir-fried chicken with hot sauce is delectable. The chilies add a lot of heat to this one, and the surface is beautiful and crunchy. Buldojang’s pork fried dumplings are decent enough, adequately filled with a tasty mix of minced pork and vegetables.

Little Korea is all about high-quality food and service. One of the best parts of this restaurant is the massive menu. They have a lot of options for meats and sides alike. You can choose between meats such as lamb, pork, chicken, and beef. They even have a variety of cuts to choose from, so this is another restaurant worth coming back to so you can try more of the menu. Make sure to get one of their amazing sides while you’re here too. In comparison to the previous places, the portions here are frequently smaller. Those that wish to explore a range of dishes, on the other hand, may not find this to be an issue. A stir-fried meal comprising beef slivers, carrots, onions, mushrooms, wood ears, veggies, and glass noodles. It's incredibly good, and the noodles are transparent and chewy.

"Jeon" refers to traditional Korean pancakes prepared with flour, eggs, and scallions. Hae mool pa jeon (seafood pancake) contains shrimp, squid, and octopus parts. It has a delicate fluffy core and is delectably crunchy on the sides. With the scallions and chile pieces, the fish is fresh and delicately flavored. Despite its fiery appearance, the Kim Chi Jeon is not particularly spicy. This one contains kimchi, onions, and scallions. The stir-fried squid (Ojinguh Bokeum) is a flavorful mixture. Tender squid chunks boil in a spicy sauce with onions, scallions, and sesame seeds; it's delicious. The Mo Dum Ku Ee is a delectable meat and seafood feast. The pork shoulders and belly are also excellent. It's wonderful with the dipping sauce, with melty fats and soft flesh. Bulgogi translates to "fire meat" in Korean. There were plenty of beef chunks, mushrooms, carrots, onions, and glass noodles in the beef bulgogi. The steamboat arrives last, and the soup is really spicy (tongue-numbing). The seafood is very fresh. Dinner ends with a bowl of Sik Hae each and watermelon slices.
