Korean BBQ San Nae Deul – 22 July 2017

Entrance to the restaurant

Korean BBQ can be considered expensive if you were to dine at Solaris, Duta Hartamas and Ampang.

We decided to google and find a reasonably priced restaurant and decided to try the Korean BBQ San Nae Deul at Nexus to celebrate Stephen’s birthday. It’s eat all you can for 1 ½ hours, the time you are seated!!

The price was:

(Prices above inclusive of GST and exclusive of service charge of 10%).

Please pay before you eat:

It's at the entrance and you won't miss it.

If you want to order beer, they have Korean beer and other local beer. We ordered big bottles of Tiger beer, which cost RM25 per bottle (inclusive of GST and exclusive of service charge of 10%).

We were given a menu to choose the kind of marinated meat (chicken, pork, beef and lamb) that you want; order the meat and BBQ yourself.

Our selection of meat

This is how we BBQ the meat:

As for the side dishes (Bachan), you name it; Kimchi soups, fried chicken, pancakes and bibimbap (mixed rice), you will be able to obtain it from the counter. There are lots of varieties to choose from and you just need to pick and choose and put it onto your plate and bowl.  

There were also drinks, i.e. orange juice, mango juice and green tea. Ice-cream is also available but I didn’t try it. The kids tried but did not finish it and I assume it was not nice for them.  

Please take note of the conditions posted onto their walls:-

Once your time is up, the waiters are very efficient and will appear without warning and whisk away all your food and dishes away and clean the table to cater for next guests waiting.    

The ambiance of the restaurant is pretty simple with lots of greens but there was barely any air con and we were sweating a lot by the time we left. 

There is ample parking in the building but if you want to park for free, you can park at the side of the road of the building (which is always busy). 

Overall, for the price you pay for, it’s a good bargain and we will definitely come back for more.

Bon Ga, Korean Restaurant – 3 December 2016

So again, we decided on Korean BBQ at Solaris to celebrate Suet May’s birthday.

This restaurant is on the 2^nd floor of a corner building at Jalan Solaris 3 and its air conditioned, unlike the restaurants on the ground floor, which are mostly open air.

Entrance to the restaurant

We were served with the Korean starter dishes. There were so many varieties to choose from compared to the other Korean restaurants that I previously visited at Solaris. You will have so many starters to sample from; kimchi, tofu egg, seaweed, peanuts with anchovies in sweet sauce, beans sprout, and the list goes on. Surprisingly, they also served us tofu soup (to be shared) as a starter dish.

Dakjumuluk (Korean side dishes) RM29.00. And I thought they were supposed to be free......

First time I experienced soup given as a starter dish, it was just normal tofu soup. Tasted very similar to Kimchi soup but less of the spicy taste 

We ordered our meat; i.e. pork, chicken and beef. The waiter will cook the meat in front of you and thereafter, other meats that you order will be cooked at a separate table.   

BBQ Jummuleok RM70.00. Beef is the most expensive meat on the menu

Moksal (pork chop) RM58.00

Hangjungsal (sliced pork) RM33.00

Gochujang chicken (marinated and glazed with spicy Korean fermented chilie paste) RM32.00

Jummuleok (beef) RM70.00

Dang Jang Jjigae (fermented soya bean paste soup) RM23.00. We thought from the picture in the menu, it was kimchi soup but when it came, the owner told us it's not kimchi soup. However, it tasted very nice, not spicy and there were a bit of seafood inside the soup. 

Haemulpajeon (Korena egg pancake) RM38.00. The omelette tasted very simple but is huge, equivalent to 8 slices of pizza 

Dak Kalguksu (Chicken Noodle Soup) RM25.00. This serving is huge and is enough for 3 pax. Tasted ordinary with more veggies inside than  chicken.

The service in this restaurant, in terms of serving your food and drinks, was fast. The price will depend on what you order. That night itself, there were 5 adults and 2 kids and the bill came up to RM475.75 (including 4 bottles of big bottled beer at RM25 per bottle, surcharge of 10% and GST of 6%); an average of RM95.15 per adult. I think the price is ok considering the starter dishes that were given out.

The ambiance of the restaurant is simple. If you want free parking around the shop lots, be prepared to go there early or do a few rounds before finding parking, unless you park inside the building nearby.

Looks more like a Japanese restaurant. Must reserve a private room
