Oiso Korean Restaurant • The Sphere • Bangsar South — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Super love this Korean Restaurant!!

The best so far, in my bibimbap journey. This is totally worth trying out!

The classic, authentic and traditional Korean food, rice served in a hot stone bowl with generous amount of vegetables topping - mushroom, beansprouts, spinach, carrots, and radish. For the protein, I chose the chicken, they also have other options which are beef or seafood. I tried the seafood too before, but I personally prefer the chicken ones.

The fun part is when it was being mixed and stirred throughly with the spicy Korean chili paste aka gochujang, listening to the shhhhh sound in each mix.

What make is more enjoyable for me is the bottom of the bowl which it is scorched the rice, making some part of rice crunchy. At the end of meal, I usually pour the seaweed soup as the hot stone bowl will make the soup hot again.

Not only bibimbap, I've also tried their soft tofu stew, mushrooms and tofu stew, tteoboki, korean fried chicken, spicy grilled chicken, bulgogi..... And nothing's disappointed me....

Maybe im not a fan of korean food but here theres no flavour at all. 2/10

1.Jjajangmyeon 3/10 Im not sure how people can describe this sedap because it is nothing. But the closest taste will be mi hailam. The sauce only has around 2-3 pcs bite size chicken. The portion is big for one.

2.Samgyetang 4/10 Ive tasted better samgyetang at S*png. This one has the bubbles and excess from chicken. Not really strong or rich flavour. In that restaurant, i dont even need to add salt.

3.Sondubu Jjigae 2/10 This is so bad… No taste at all. Only smell of shrimp (the old & small one).

4.Banchan 3/10 Most are mediocre. I only eat the greens because thats the only greens I have and the veggies fritters. Others are bad.

5.Service 6/10 Servis okok la but i expect them to know malay better.

6.Ambience 5/10 Just ok but the aircond quite slow that day. Thankfully it was raining so not too hot.

7.Prices 2/10 Too expensive for these...

The food is the closest to authentic Korean dishes. For my traditional Malay tongue who's familiar with the strong taste of spices, it could be a little bland. The portion of beef spicy stew is big. A lot of ingredients inside. Beef is so tender, a lot of different veggies and also an egg for extra protein. Side dishes are refillable. Kimchi is quite good and the potato is so comforting.

Other light meals are also available for snacking. We've ordered jeon and also gimmari. Very good, fresh from the fryer. Don't forget the green grape ade. So refreshing and flavourful.

The service is very fast. We got our food in less than 15 minutes. The place is not crowded during my visit. The ambience is very nice and calm. The staff are also helpful and polite. Price-wise, it suits the dishes and...
