Mr Dakgalbi

Tucked away in a far off corner of Citta Mall is Mr Dakgalbi, which is a popular Korean Barbecue restaurant. There isn’t a wide variety of choice on the menu (at least during lunchtime). You can choose between 3 sets, a chicken set, a fish set or an assorted seafood set which all range from RM30 — RM58. My friend and I ordered the seafood set (RM58) which is an assortment of seafood including prawns, mussels, octopus, squid and an array of vegetables and rice cakes and a side of plain rice. There is the choice to choose between rice or ramen noodles.
Between my friend and I, the portion proved to be way too much and could easily have been shared by 3 people even though the menu recommends it for 2 people. The food comes to the table raw and is cooked right in front of you which makes waiting for it to be done feel like forever since it’s right in front of you. It takes roughly 10 – 15 minutes for the food to be cooked through and the waiter kept coming back to give it a toss and make sure all the ingredients are well marinated and cooked properly. When ordering, we noted to the waiter we didn’t want the octopus so instead the kitchen replaced it with chicken.
The food overall was really yummy, though really spicy in my opinion. The rice cakes were more like rice sticks, and were chewy and gooey. The best part of the whole dish were the mussels, im not a fan of mussels but the sauce really went well with the mussels. All the seafood they served was also very fresh.
Service is excellent. The waiters are very polite and fast when taking orders.
