Both of me and Danny love any type of cuisine, but we both are not into Korean Cuisine. We don’t like kimchi and the sauces. Thus, we only went for Korean restaurant once. Recently, we were invited to a food review at Mr. Dakgalbi. Rejected it when I was told it is a Korean food restaurant. However, my friend told me to go for a trial because it is totally different from what I know about Korean food, except the kimchi and Korean BBQ cuisine.
Undeniably, it consumed some time to find the actual location and if you know Sri Petaling area, it is always packed and full of double parking. Thus, parking could be a problem. If you want to dine in here, it is advisable to practice carpooling. Mr. Dakgalbi Sri Petaling branch is located at the new shop lot. Hence, the population is still growing up. However, because of that, it is a quiet area whereby you can truly enjoy your meal. There is corner where Mr. Dakgalbi placed some Korean artists decoration. If you are CNBlue fans, you might love those decorations a lot too.
Before I go into the food, let’s have a brief introduction about Mr. Dakgalbi. Before this food tasting, neither me or Danny knows “dak galbi”. It refers to a kind of Korean dish which generally made by stir-frying marinated diced chicken in a gochujang (chili pepper paste) based sauce and sliced cabbage, sweet potato, scallions, onions and perilla leaves. Therefore, in Mr. Dakgalbi, it is all about “dak galbi”, serving together with ramen or rice. FYI, Their menu has few recommended sets for diners, depending on how many people in your group.
First, we had Dakgalbi Set for two. The set including dakgalbi, rice, ramen and cheese. If you are like us, hearing this dish the first time, here are some “steps” about this dish. Generally, the crew will assist in stir-frying the dish, unless you insist in to do that yourself. They will first stir-fry the dak galbi, and then add in the ramen. Since dakgalbi’s original sauce is chili based, it was hot and spicy but still acceptable for a mild spicy eater like me. The fried ramen was well-blended with the sauces and other ingredients, which was appealing and not dry when eating. However, I found it slight harder since I love eating softer noodle.
After finishing the dakgalbi fried ramen, the crew will start stir-frying the rice with the remaining dak galbi. The rice was put in the middle and cheese placed on it. Then, the crew covered the cheese with rice. It was a brilliant way to mix the rice with cheese. The rice was sweet-smelling, it was cheesy since it was mixed with cheese. Honestly speaking, I love this fried rice a lot because of the cheese!
Coming next, we were introduced to their new menu – Cheese Ring Dakgalbi! This is the MUST TRY when dining in Mr. Dakgalbi from now on. The cheese Mr. Dakgalbi used were cheddar and mozzarella cheese. They are still collecting feedback from diners so that they can improve this delightful dish. The dak galbi’s ingredient is still same, just that it was served with cheese and baguette. For me, it is more like a snack instead of main course.
All in all, eventually Danny and I found our favorite Korean dish which is dak galbi! Wow. So, if any of you would like to treat us Korean food, let’s go to Mr. Dakgalbi. BTW, as mentioned, the chicken was marinated with child sauce, so original dak galbi is spicy. However, Mr. Dakgalbi has come out with non-spicy version so that even non-spicy eater can try their delicious dishes. Grab few friends and go to Mr. Dakgalbi now! If Sri Petaling is far from your location, you may go to their other outlets at Citta Mall/PV128 Setapak/Setiawalk/Solaris Mon’t Kiara.

Oh yummm! You had me right away at Korean food. It's 7 in the morning and all I want now is kbbq with lots of different sides!
It looks very good to eat the way your pictures look. I hope though that I can request to reduce the spiciness. I do not think I can eat that much spiciness.
Wow korean food looks delicious!!!! how could you and danny not be fans of korean food!!! =P
Korean food that's seemingly so yummy! Mouth watering> I would definitely give this a try
I'm a sucker for Korean food, next to Japanese which is my fave cuisine ever! I love the experience of grilling my own food in the restaurant as well, so I think Mr. Dakgalbi is just great. Too bad they don't have a branch here in Manila or I'd definitely go there to eat!
This looks so interesting. I wish we have this where I live so I can have the chance to try it with my daughter.
Yum, yum. yum! Place looks great. Food looks great. And I am now unbearably hungry X_X
I love Korean food and my son specially the BBQ Korean chicken so much. Wish to try these dishes sometime.
looking at the oozing cheese, I feel like going there immediately to eat
It looks good but I don't like spicy foods..it's a "tang" of spiciness will do for me. Maybe I could choose other not spicy foods.
Their food looks really delicious. They are really uniquely prepared and look special.
Looks so yumm!! OMG it my order for my next visit to Mr Dakgalbi <3
wow look tasty, i only go uncle jang before …
OMG all of these food look so yummy! Can't stop loving cheese! ><'' Gonna try them out soon!
so hungry look at food pics now. You sure know where to find delicious food. Gonna tell my dear of this
Korean food is certainly an acquired taste but it doesn't take long to make one start appreciating the cuisine. I'm not a lover too but don't mind trying out once in a while.
Yummy! yes, that's the first word that comes to my mind while reading this! It sounds spicy – that might be a challenge for me 😉
Oh the pictures are delish! The serves look very promising and Korean food is amazing. Definitely will give this a go soon.
i try them once. is so delicious.
I've honestly never tried korean food. But this food looks absolutely AMAZING!
urgh. this is so inviting. your photos are just as incredible!
yummy, so delicious looks! must try this out! thanks for your good share 🙂
Ohhhhhhhh I tried this kind of dish at Uncle Jang and I loved it! But I didn't have cheese in mine, which I probably would have loved
A Korean Restaurant that doesn't sell pork dishes? What sorcery is this?! -_-
Omnom nom… the food definitely look very tasty and tempting… I am so hungry now.. LOL
Love Korean food. I like the way they seperate the rice with the meal. Must try
The food looks yummy. I like the idea that we could cook our own food.
Don't think it is a problem because dak galbi is made from chicken.
Guess your place will also have a similar restaurant~
Hmmmm…. The staff will actually help you to grill it. Only if the diner insists in doing it themselves, then the staff will just let them to.
Thank you, Karina~
Haha~~~ Yes. Only this Mr. Dakgalbi. hahaha….
Yes, you can reduce. Or maybe you can order the non-spicy version.
Oppppsss. I am sorry~ But that is really mouth-watering~
Erm, no. It is not you cook your own, only if you request to do that yourself.
If you got the chance, just go trying it!
Let's try it tomorrow!
Ohh… Guess I should go to try Uncle Jang too!
You're welcome!
Thanks~ <3
I won't say you will love Korean food. But this dakgalbi is just different from classic Korean food~
Yes, it is really delicious~
Yes! You will love it instantly!
If you really can't take challenge, you can order the non-spicy one.
You will love it once you tried.
Go try it tomorrow! It is holiday!
Yes! You will love it…
Oh… I see… Try Mr. Dakgalbi next time.
Hahaha~ Go to the branch at PV128.
Yes. Not sure whether your place has or not.
You can get the non-spicy version.
You will love it instantly!
Then you should bring your son to eat this!
Opppppsssss…. Maybe you should get something to eat now.. ><
I love korean food. Definitely will have to check it out soon.
Interesting! I love Korean food! This is new for me and will definitely try! For the love of Korean food!
i always wanted to try this, i think it looks super yummy and so much fun for a family to cook together like this
I went back Sri Petaling after ages didn't go there.. So many new shop lots and shop houses… New restaurants as well.. Gonna try it out one by one..
Me too. I prefer Chinese foods instead. But judging by what you wrote, it seems Korean dishes are something I must try too.
The food looks so great, I was there once too with my family, not bad 🙂
I'd love to try Korean food. I'd have to go with child sauce too. I like spicy, sometimes. But I'd rather play it safe. lol
It's the first time for me hearing of Cheese Dakgalbi… I shall check out if any Korean restaurants here in Singapore have such a dish and I will try it! Thanks for sharing 🙂
This looks super delish. Maybe I will try at the setapak branch.
from a non korean food eater, to one that loves it, awesome! I've tried one of their branches before. They do serve some really good food.
This reminds me of my adventures while i was in Korea. I wonder if it taste as good. cause im craving for it! 😀
i've tried this before but honestly I still prefer Uncle Jang! ><
I am not a big fan of Korean cuisine, though I must say the cheese ring looks and sounds yummy!
I usually go to Mr. Dakgalbi at the Solaris Mont Kiara. Weekend is always quite crowded. Of course their fried rice with cheese is a killer.
Gosh I'm so craving for Korean food after seeing your post now! The Cheese Ring Dakgalbi looks really delicious. Never heard of it in Singapore, bring me go eat when I go KL?
This is quite similar with Uncle Jang and I tried before, it is really so nice! I think I should go try for this to see which one has own better taste.
New menu!! OMG! Must.Go.Eat.Soon. Thanks for sharing!! I love korean food btw, am a sucker for it ahahhaha
I have never tried Korean food but this sure looks delicious. Great photography!
Thank you Fatemah~
Yes! MUST EAT! You will love it~ =D
Never pay much attention to K-Food. So don't know about Uncle Jang. Shall try it out too..
When you are coming? Then we can plan a meetup too. Of course, let's go to Mr. Dakgalbi! =D
Never go to that branch because Mon't Kiara is far from my place.
We are in the same gang. But this is really recommended!
Never know about Uncle Jang, guess I have to try it too and see which is better!
So have you tried the authentic dakgalbi during your Korea trip?
Yeah yeah~~~~ Guess if my friend call me for K-food journey, I will tell them go to Mr. Dakgalbi~ XD
Ya. They are franchise, guess the taste is same! Setapak branch is at PV128
I am not sure whether they have any branch in Singapore. Maybe you can check this out. If not, when you come to KL, you can try it. =)
You are staying near Sri Petaling area? Sure, go and try~ You will love it!
If you can try the original sauce, it is good. Actually it is not really hot spicy, just a little~
It is really nice.
This is really worth to try~
Ya, these two years they have built a lot of shops~ So, more jam there. I seldom go there now. =(
Plan one day go with them. You guys will love it~
Thank you. grab few friends to try…
I am sure you will love it. =)
It looked great. I've never tried it; I would though.
