Happened to be at Far East Square and was looking for a cheap lunch venue when I stumbled upon Su Korean Cuisine, which offered a set lunch at $10++/pax - a seemingly good deal in this part of town.
Interior
Located at the basement of this teenager centric shopping mall, Su spots a cafe like interior with plenty of booth seats and minimalistic decor.
Sides
I've always had the notion that the side dishes in Korean meals make the entire meal more bang for the buck because of the variety of dishes you get to sample. However, more often than not, the quality would be very average (based on the limited experience I have with Korean food). Su's offerings weren't an exception.
BBQ Chicken Fillet
As mentioned in my post on Auntie Kim's, I've never really been able to appreciate Korean food and whatever it entailed. The chicken slices were tender but I didn't quite take to the sugary sweetness of it. The proportion of garnishes to chicken meat was also quite high, which meant that the meat ran out pretty fast.BBQ Beef
Another overly sweet dish to me, the beef slices were relatively tough and dry without much beefy taste. As with the BBQ chicken, portions were also found wanting.

Bill
I guess $24 for a relatively filling lunch in an airconditioned environment in town is still reasonable by certain yardsticks. Food quality is average to me but that may be due to the fact that I can't really appreciate Korean food.

nice design the shop
Hmm nice design? I thought its rather standard for Korean places. :P
actually i think the design of the shop is just so-so. it looks like any other restaurant found in a shopping complex. from the photos u showed, i don't see any signs of korean in it either. there's a row of korean restaurant at ampang area. I forgot which place, but it's a row of shop lots. they're really nice n there's that homey korean feeling. not to mention the food was seriously, mouth drooling. =p
Actually I don't know how Korean places should look like lol. Would you happen to remember which part of Ampang are the Korean restaurants located? Gotta get my friend to drive me there when I go to KL next time. =D
how the taste?
spicey or wat?
I don't like this restaurant. I think it's not very authentic and overpriced. You can get much better Korean food elsewhere.
Hi Cheryl, any place you would recommend? =)
Togi at Mosque Street. It's good, try it and let me know. :)
Togi? Sounds familiar. Thanks ice!
hmm i remember going to a korean place at dempsey, which was really good but i cant recall the name now. I think it's Chang Korean BBQ Restaurant.
otherwise, crystal jade's korean ginseng chicken and bbq is not bad too, the one at ngee ann city?
Thanks for the recommendation sheryl! =)
Hey I suddenly remember Kim Dae Mun at Le Meridien (now Concorde Hotel) foodcourt. This stall sells really good authentic Korean food at even better prices very easy on the pocket. You could give it a try since it's so convenient for you now! :)
Hi ice, I've been eating at the meridien food court stall since 2005 lol.
I like Hyang To Gol at level 2 of Amara too. Also there is this place called BQ Korean at Far East Sq where it serves authentic Korean food too! :)
