Korean BBQ Todam — Restaurant in Klang Municipal Council

We were very disappointed with the service at this restaurant, especially from one female staff member who completely ruined our dining experience.

After the BBQ was served, we moved the side dishes aside and placed the meat in the center to take some food photos. The female staff member came over and asked in a rude tone whether we weren’t going to eat the side dishes anymore, then sarcastically asked, “Oh, are you taking photos?” We were just trying to take pictures of the food — there was no need for that kind of attitude.

Later, when we almost finished the side dishes, my brother asked for a refill. She replied in a very unfriendly, commanding tone: “Finish first, then refill.” It was very off-putting.

When the steamed egg arrived, she immediately divided it into three bowls for us without asking, saying she was worried it would burn. While it might seem thoughtful, this felt uncomfortable because no other table was treated this way — only ours.

Then, when the kimchi soup was served, we asked for small bowls. She brought only two, then pointed at us and counted “1, 2, 3,” meaning two of us used the small bowls and the third had to drink directly from the pot. Was it really that hard to bring one more bowl?

Throughout the meal, we noticed she would stop and stand in front of our table, staring in our direction. It made us feel very uncomfortable, like we were being watched the entire time.

Finally, when we went to pay, this same staff member was at the cashier. We tried to tap our card, but the first attempt failed. On the second try, as she was re-entering the amount, we moved the card forward again — and she pushed my hand away. That was extremely rude and uncalled for. Even if we were a bit eager to pay, there was no excuse for that kind of behavior.😡

Her overall attitude was arrogant, rude, and passive-aggressive. While the food was delicious, her behavior left such a bad impression that we will never return. It’s really unfortunate how one staff member can ruin the entire dining...

Update since 2 years ago:

Hesitated to visit this restaurant since the recent google map reviews. However, since it was my family's favourite Korean restaurant for many years, we decided to give it a try ourselves.

My family of 4 visited for dinner, just looking for a light bite. Upon arrival, the owner greeted us in a friendly manner. However, upon hearing that we wanted to order the 2 person set, which included 2 portion of grilled pork, steamed egg, kimchi stew and 2 rice (all for RM79++), his face turned sour (exactly like how other reviewers have described!). He then very reluctantly took our order and rudely collected the menu away from us.

Side dishes were not refillable, which was expected and we didn't mind since we didn't plan to eat much for dinner anyway. Some of the side dishes were very salty this time. Quality of kimchi soup also dropped - it now taste diluted when it used to be very flavourful. The only great thing were the grilled pork, they were cooked with perfect tenderness and fragrant, served with fresh lettuce to wrap with.

I used to recommend this place to all my friends and family who comes to klang, even came here for birthdays and other celebrations. Although your food may be good, it's a shame that the service has come to this level. There are better Korean restaurants out there so this will be me and my family's last visit.

Previous review: Friendly owners and good variety of choices. This restaurant doesn't have a minimum order requirement of 2 servings for grilled bbq, but it will not be grilled in front of you, unless you order bigger servings. So this is good if you come in small group and with small portion of meat, you can try more dishes and sides. Lettuce are always fresh with different varieties of banchan. Love that there are minimal use of processed food such as sausages, crab sticks etc.

You get a free steam egg on...

I don’t give bad reviews usually even for the under taste food . Normally i would said just not my taste.

But today this restaurant will be my first and last. Im surprisingly someone said the boss is kind.

We arrived early as the restaurant just open. The shop smell very “old” and ventilation is totally not working. Totally think to just leave but since we already been seated so might as well just try.

We ordered a set which can served 3-4pax when we have 6adult + ala carte teobokki.(we are still looking for ala carte menu to extra order tho) Yet the boss said this sets is only cater for 3-4pax while u have 6pax so meaning side dishes we only can serve once and not refillable.

What???? But Why??? Frankly this is so bad for service line. 1st we had mentioned we are still looking for the menu why the side dishes is not refillable ?

After we ordered another set of bbQ they allow us to refill but then the services quality is totally disappointing. I don’t find the side dishes is taste gd tho. Worst thing is ramen also can be tasteless without we adding sauce ourself.

The BBQ served like 10mins after we ordered . The meat is so dried & tasteless. We are so surprised for how fast its served ? I do not want to pen down how rude and how 6 of us can sense the services is yet soft reminder to shop owner, u can give better services if your place already felt so old. If both is bad its worsen the taste & quality of food & i don’t find any reason for the next...
