4.6 / 5.0(378 reviews)

Amazing place to stumble in the busy city of Myeongdong. The food are nice and the price is affordable. The staff are very friendly assisting us with our requests because ww mistakenly ordered wrong menu that we want. Also, the toilet comes with a bidet, so plus point! Malaysian hospitality never dissapoint 😀😆😆😆 Highly recommended 💯💯 Very nice place to have halal food in Seoul. Placed at the second floor next to CU in the opposite side of the Migliore Hotel or Mohenic Hotel, we had a good meals there for several days. Must try is nasi lemak salted egg. The ordering system using tablet and very convenient. It is halal food near myeongdong opens very early so it is the best choice for morning people. Thank you for your hospitality during our stay in Seoul Located facing the main street at Level 2, a sufficient space that can cater to est 30pax with mix of Korean and Malaysian food. Place is cozy and warm during the month of November. Beware for those that couldn't handle spicy food as their food is a little more spicier compared to the normal what we are getting outside. Maybe can let them know if your Spice tolerance is low. Ordering is using ipad with multiple languages selection (Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese) makes it easy to place order.

Phenomenal food and we plan on coming back! The dukkbaegi bulgogi was light and well balanced in flavour. The spicy chicken nasi lemak tasted just like what we had in Malaysia. We look forward to trying more items here.

Had this for brunch before we leave Seoul area as this was the only halal place opened early. The sundubu jiggae and kimchi jiggae was good! It was steaming and full of flavour, perfect for a cold morning to warm yourself up! It is conveniently located at Myeondong station exit 4! Just walk straight and spot halal sign on level 2 next to CU mart.
