The food is decent, but we paid extra for the add-on set meal, which included a side dish, watermelon, and rice. Unfortunately, the side dish wasn't refillable and wasn't even a full portion, making the extra RM5++ feel like it wasn't worth it. The service needs improvement, and the food portions are small. Only the Che Go Matcha Red Bean Bingsu is worth it; at only RM 9.9...

First time visiting this outlet in Aeon Tebrau.
They have meal portion choices of "S" and "M" sizes.
Since I don't eat beef, I ordered a chicken bibimbap ("M") and a kimchi chicken ("S").
A normal eater should consider ordering the "M" size meal.
The "S" size looks more like a kid's size (photo shows size compared with my hand).
The food looks good, but the minced chicken in the bibimbap smelled very strongly of chicken 😅.
The watermelon and side dishes that come with the "add-on" were much smaller than in the menu picture 😂.
The bibimbap sauce served with it was very little, and I had to ask the staff for more in order to mix the sauce with the ingredients and enhance the flavors.
Kimchi chicken tasted good.
Prices stated on the menu are net prices, which is a plus point 👍🏻.
Overall, it was okay.

We wanted to add on several other items, but most weren't available; it was constantly "no this, no that." On top of that, the atmosphere was quite lifeless and quiet.

The food was just average; for some reason, Korean food in Malaysia seems to be on the sweeter side. This will be our first and last visit. The total bill came to RM170 for the four of us, which is decent.

Came during off-peak hours, so service was reasonably quick.
I have no comment on service itself, as no one spoke to us. A waiter showed us to the table, gave us a paper with a QR code, and that was it. A robot delivered the food.
My mum enjoyed the ginseng soup noodles. The kimchi pancake was good. The glass noodles and rice cake hotplate is good for people who like spiciness.
It's best not to have high expectations for the side dishes.
And you can skip the hot ginseng tea; it didn't taste like ginseng at all. At first, I thought they served the wrong tea!

The tteokbokki set meal has quite a lot of chicken chunks along with the rice cakes. The sauce is really good; I even ordered white rice to fully enjoy the taste.

One of our favorite places to go in Aeon Tebrau.
I'd been wanting to write a review, but I kept forgetting... finally, we have the opportunity! Yay for us for remembering this time.
Let's dive in!
Food:
There's been a slight change to the menu, but the food is still deservingly nice. We would recommend taking anything you want here, because it's all good!
Service:
The staff didn't smile much, but the work gets done in proper order. Also, the food we ordered came out rather fast. So, no complaints there.
Atmosphere:
There are changes to the layout and tables, so what we expected years back is different. In fact, the place is well-arranged now and looks more modern.
Basically, the place still looks good and clean. We would come again next time. Check out the plates, and you will see they're all cleared. So, when that happens, you all know the food is yummy, yeah? ☺️
Cheers!

I haven’t really had super authentic Korean food yet, but this was pretty enjoyable! I really liked the kimchi and the dumplings; it was definitely some of the best kimchi I’ve tried, especially compared to other places I've been to. I ordered the beef jjajangmyeon, and the beef flavor was a bit too strong for my taste. Maybe I’ll go for the chicken next time instead! Overall, though, it was a good experience, and I enjoyed it.
