Yea Won Restaurant — Restaurant in Perak

Food - 2 stars

Ordered beef. marbling looks good, when you eat it.....completely tasteless... this only happens when you keep in the freezer for a LONG LONG time. Means the premium beef is not fresh AT ALL. The blood is suppose to be sweet, but, its not. its just like chewing something completely tasteless.

Ordered pork. was told by the waiter should not cook too long if not will become very hard to chew. i said ok. when she finished cooking and i bite, still tough like nails, reason? sliced too thinly.

Rest of the food. was ok.

Price - 1 star

More expensive than most korean restaurants in the vicinity and the meat portion is quite small.

Service - 3 stars

Waitresses are attentive but redundant. Let me eat in peace and try to refill the side dishes with bigger portion and less reluctantly.

VERDICT :...

Sis and I have been trying to find decent bibim naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles) since returning to Ipoh, and this place is the BOMB; not just for its cold noodles but other dishes too (e.g. bibimbap and kimbab)!

I’ve had some pretty authentic Korean cuisine when I was living in a Korean-heavy suburb back in the States and the food here is exactly, if not close to what I had there.

Previous reviews on poor service appears to be a bit too harsh?? Perhaps the restaurant had a change of staff since our experience here was nothing short of kindness and sweetness from the elderly waiting staff.

Definitely give this place a chance again if you had had a poor service experience prior to this review. Would be a shame if we lose this...

The restaurant owner have a bad attitude when I asked for the side dishes to be refilled, emphasising on the fact that the side dishes are not for the customers to feel filling, but are merely snacks. Please get the facts straight, those side dishes are supposed to be refilled whenever the customer requested for it unless you have a disclaimer written down that it is only to be refilled with a limited amount. The total bill for my food is over RM160, do you seriously think I am taking advantage of your side dishes? Repeatedly telling your customers that we shouldn't ask you for refill is not the way a korean restaurant that charges premium price should do! Zero hospitality and zero...
