"New Korean restaurant in town! This is not any typical Korean restaurant, they don’t serve side dishes like kimchis and all. But they definitely served LEGIT KOREAN FOOD! Do check out the menu! This place is located Warisan Square, next to Blue Lagoon Reflexology named Chon KK Korea Po-cha. Their ambience is very homey and cozy which explains the dim settings. They’ve decorated the place with individual rooms which is good for privacy. I have to say even their staff are well trained - good service! We ordered White Jjamppong Tang & Stir-fried pork stew. White Jjamppong tang is very delicious, I believe there’s hardly any restaurant in kk serves this dish? Ps: if you can’t eat spicy, make sure to tell them NO SPICY. As much as I love Korean food, I would recommend y’all to come and try! Their food portion is good enough for 2-4 person depending how big of an eater you are. They also served alcohols like draft beer, soju, sake, and etc… Will come back for more! Ps: the only downside of it is the parking, you had to park at warisan square car park."

"Great place to chill with some korean meal, they have some curtained dining area which added a touch of privacy for the diners. Food wise not bad, recommended the old school lunch box, tried the spicy whelk noodle as well (but the menu stated as squid, however when we pay for the meal it is stated as whelk in the receipt). Will come back to try another food again."
