Sopoong Korean restaurant @ IOI MALL Damansara — Restaurant in Petaling Jaya

Can’t say the same for other’s experience but my experience WAS HORRIBLE! I used to come here a lot but this time will be one of my last. Try not to believe the reviews because theres literally a signage here that says you get 10% off total bill if you give 5 stars, so take that information as you please. I waited 45-50 minutes for my Japchae! I saw all the other customers who came later than us got their food first. Glad to see that the kimchi fried rice taste is still nice like before but the others: my friend’s ramen was straight up watery like it tasted like cereal water EVEN with cheese on it. The udon was a bit bland and overcooked. Multiple times I wanted to ask for help but the workers seem to be hiding behind the counter all the time. I asked the waitress about my food and she answer me so quickly to cut me off which was rude, and she didnt even give me my food 😭 even then i had to wait a bit longer. If the food was great, I wouldn’t have mind the 45-50 minutes wait but that food was dissatisfying, so I’m not pleased. Also, why was the egg gyeranjjim removed from the set? It...

Its the third time here. Sopoong will be our go-to place if we ever crave Korean food.

Food: We got the beef bulgogi and kimchi gimbap. Portion is quite big. I think all of Sopoong's menu the portion is big. You can choose between small and large size. I'd suggest the small portion to be shared between 2-3 people. You cannot finish it on your own (unless you're really really hungry) The beef bulgogi is served hot, there's lots of beef and shiitake mushrooms. Beef are super tender and well-seasoned with lots of black pepper and thin glass noodles. Even the gimbap rolls are a lot. Especially when you get all the banchan with it.

If you're feeling peckish but not too hungry, do try the sweet potato sticks. They're so good and there's cheese inside.

Drinks: Ice lemon tea and korean ginger tea with candied ginger.

Atmosphere: Okay. Not many people even on a weekend. The staffs took only 15 mins to serve our food and super polite.

Not the first time here and definitely won't be the last....

Had cravings for Jap Chae and hence we headed to the nearest branch in KD area. There are 3 Korean restaurants in Tropicana Gardens Mall and we decided to try Sopoong as we’ve never been there before . Before heading there , we did a google research and the ratings are rather high so we do have some expectations towards this restaurant.

Atmosphere and service was rather ok. Friendly staff. Hubby had ramen and daughter ordered dumpling . Both are acceptable but not fantastic. Jap chae was such a huge dissapointment as there is no sesame flavour, no sesame plus the dish itself is ‘too salty.’. Jap chae supposed to have a hint of sweetness but this is totally plain salty that I only had some and the rest remain untouched like what is shown in the photo here. Will not recommend their jap chae at all cos this is one of the basic dish. We also ordered a pancake and this also has failed to our expectations. Tasteless and we only ate few pieces. Will not recommend this...
