How much does a Korean BBQ in Kuala Lumpur cost?
An all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ buffet in Kuala Lumpur typically costs between RM30 and RM50 per person, depending on whether it is for lunch or dinner. For a la carte restaurants, expect to pay around RM50 to RM90 per person for a satisfying meal with several meat dishes.
1. Seoul Garden
Address: Lot LG1-14B, Mitsui Shopping Park Lalaport, City Centre, 2, Jln Hang Tuah, Bukit Bintang
Phone: +60397795485
Business Hours: Monday to Sunday – 11:30 AM to 10 PM
Seoul Garden has been around for more than four decades, and it’s easy to see why it’s still one of the go-to halal Korean BBQ spots in Kuala Lumpur. The moment you walk in, that familiar aroma of sizzling meats hits you—a mix of sweet bulgogi and spicy lamb that could make anyone’s stomach growl!
Their smoleless grill setup keeps the air surprisingly clear, even when every table’s loaded with seafood, beef, and chicken. We super love the variety here because you get to pick from a long list of marinated meats and seafood.
You can also enjoy their kimchi, japchae, and even local favourites like teh tarik to go with your meal. The staff are attentive and quick to help if your grill starts misbehaving or your soup runs low.
However, one thing that needs improvement is the labeling on the buffet counter—some items didn’t match the names on the tags, which can be confusing if you’re particular about what you eat.

2. K Garden Korean BBQ
Address: L1E205-207, 1st Floor, City, IOI City Mall, 2, Lbh IRC, Ioi Resort
Phone: +60192948695
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 11:30 AM to 10:30 PM
- Saturday to Sunday – 11 AM to 10:30 PM
K Garden Korean BBQ stands out as one of those spots that feels genuinely Korean—from the sizzling sound of meat hitting the grill to the perfectly seasoned side dishes that keep coming.
The place is Muslim-owned, so you can dine without second thoughts about ingredients or preparation. Every dish that came out looked fresh and vibrant, especially the grilled beef and chicken: juicy, flavourful, and marinated just right.
The service here deserves credit too. The staff handle most of the grilling at your table, so you can sit back and focus on the eating part, which is honestly the best part.
The food arrived quickly, and everything from the sauces to the condiments tasted thoughtfully prepared.
That said, prices lean toward the higher side compared to other halal Korean BBQ spots, though the quality makes up for it.
If you value good service, clean presentation, and authentic flavour, it’s definitely worth the splurge!
Really impressed with the tenderness of the meat
“We ordered set B on our first visit and was really impressed with the tenderness of the meat. Second visit we tried kimchi jjigae and the taste was really nice. We also enjoyed the rice balls and the many many bangcan served. Worth every penny and service was really great too! Great experience so far 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻”

3. Super Boring Club
Address: 15, Jln Mesui, Bukit Bintang
Phone: +60106655277
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 11:30 AM to 2 PM | 5 to 10 PM
- Saturday – 1 to 11 PM
- Sunday – 1 to 10 PM
Super Boring Club is anything but boring—it’s lively, trendy, and full of energy. The place blends Japanese and Korean BBQ styles in a way that feels both modern and comforting.
From the moment the grill fired up, the aroma of sizzling Wagyu and smoked duck filled the air, and the crew was already by the table, ready to help with grilling. Their attentiveness adds to the experience, especially when you’re trying premium cuts.
However, the portions are a little smaller than expected for the price you pay, especially if you have a big appetite. It’s definitely more about quality than quantity here, and you’ll likely end up ordering more just to feel full.
Still, the food hits the mark—well-seasoned meats, creative sides like salted egg sweet potato fries, and a fun vibe that makes it perfect for a group hangout or celebration.
Great ambience and excellent food
“Unforgettable experience by Jack, very attentive and detailed. He went above and beyond to explain to us the sauces and food. Great ambience, excellent food, remarkable service. Will definitely be back!”
– Michelle Tan, Google Review

“Absolutely awesome staff who were incredibly welcoming. They helped cook the (extremely tasty) meat for us, gave us dessert on the house and accommodated us while we waited for our Grab back to the hotel. Great people, great food!”

4. The Fire Korean Restaurant
Address: Lot C-3, The Beat Kiara Bay, Jln Lingkaran Tengah 2, Kepong Metropolitan Lake-garden
Phone: +601126119845
Business Hours: Monday to Sunday – 10:30 AM to 10 PM
The Fire Korean Restaurant is one of those places that strikes the perfect balance between cozy and lively. The moment the banchan (side dishes) hit the table, you can tell you’re in for a satisfying meal—generous portions, endless refills, and all freshly made.
Their chicken platter stood out the most: tender meat with crispy skin, perfectly seasoned and paired with seaweed-coated rice balls that were surprisingly addictive. Even their steamed egg with cheese was a hit—creamy, fluffy, and full of flavour.
The overall dining experience feels genuine, thanks to the attentive staff and small details like offering hair ties to diners. The restaurant doesn’t serve pork or alcohol, making it a great choice for Muslim diners who still want an authentic Korean BBQ feel.
The only drawback is the parking situation—it can be quite competitive during peak hours, so plan to arrive a little earlier to avoid circling the area.
Really good food
“The food was really good. It has bold flavors which I feel quite authentic yet palatable for locals. Be ready to eat a lot coz they have unlimited side dishes as well as big portion size per menu item. Super satisfied with the food. Store has a good ambience and staff were also friendly. My go to K-food place now for sure.”
– Tuan Muhammad Hanif Tuan Ab Hamid, Google Review
Also impressed with their desserts
“Had tried with their foods for twice. The foods taste good and authentic. They serve variety of a la carte Korean main course, small foods, desserts and drinks. I specially impressed by their dessert. The bingsu (snow ice) is nice and having really big portion, which I’ve been purposely back for their bingsu with my son and my son love it so much 😍😍 he love the banana waffles as well. I definitely will return there for their foods”

Phone: +60321667181

Kung Jung Korean Restaurant leans a bit on the pricey side, especially if you’re going for their premium BBQ sets, but once the food arrives, it’s easy to see why regulars keep coming back.
The quality here truly is very impressive. From the moment the side dishes land on your table—crisp kimchi, marinated spinach, and those perfectly seasoned bean sprouts—you can tell they take their craft seriously.
The meats are fresh, well-marinated, and grilled to perfection, often with the help of their attentive staff. Even the lettuce wraps are fresh and crunchy, showing great attention to detail.
The atmosphere feels warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed dinner or celebration with friends. Service is prompt, polite, and refreshingly consistent—the team is quick to refill side dishes without needling reminders.
You’ll also spot a mix of locals and international diners, which adds to its welcoming charm.
