Uncle Jang Korean Restaurant — Restaurant in Kajang Municipal Council

We arrived earlier and it's already a small wait. The waiting crowd built up soon after.

It's truly run by the Korean couple and they run the restaurant with a group of well trained foreign workers. The food smells and tastes good, for us who used to live in Korea for some years.

The location is unassuming in Bandar Mahkota Cheras, but the menu options are truly Korean. We like the taste of the Dak Gal Bi, the sauce is thick enough. Do opt for spicy because normal is not spicy at all and especially if you're someone used to Malaysian spicy food.

The downside here is that the water is not free, and if you do ask for water, they provide mineral water bottle. They also have Jinro soju and makgeolli (rice wine).

We will return again to try other food on the menu. A recommended restaurant if you miss some...

For new customers looking for this shop: it’s on the second floor, it took me a second to find out! Hope this helps.

When entering we were greeted by a Korean couple whom I assume owns this store. They were very friendly but they are not fluent in English so it was harder for us to communicate what we want with them.

The service and food were good but I felt like the food lacked a little spice. We had two choice which was moderate and hot, and we chose moderate because we assumed it was going to be very spicy if we chose hot, but I was kind of disappointed because I felt like I have misunderstood the description. Secondly, we also ordered to add ramen into the mix but it was not completely cooked, it was still pretty raw in a sense where it was very rubbery, so that ruined my experience.

Overall...

Saddens me to post this review without full stars because I absolute love Uncle Jang, but the difference between this branch and the other branch i had in Johor Sutera is way too different. Mahkota branch used to provide free water, now we have to pay mineral water 🥲 Some other branches not only provided water, they also provide free soup, and the atmosphere is more homey. Experience was overall better at the other branch, hope mahkota branch doesnt fall behind and look for small improvements instead of cutting costs 🙏🏻 Service was still good though, friendly staff. Good food and best...
