4 Jin Luo Bao Korean Restaurant
If we're talking about Korean restaurants, we cannot leave out our childhood favourite—Jin Luo Bao Korean Restaurant. This is one of the most traditional Korean restaurants on this list, and the reason why they are still relevant is because of how stunning the food still is. People usually opt for the BBQ experience here, but you can get all sorts of cook dishes, like stone pot rice, Korean fried chicken, and speciality dishes like marinated crabs—but we definitely recommend the KBBQ to start with.
Unlike other places which tend to give you a choice of three side dishes, you get at least ten different sides here, including fermented kimchi, fresh kimchi, cucumber kimchi, sweet potato dipped in syrup, bean sprouts, and much more. We love everything on their menu, but items that stand out are the marinated beef ribs ($188), beef tongue ($140), and the eel ($198). Be nice to the Korean aunties—if you make good conversation, they might even throw in something nice for you!
