Korean BBQ is currently the most it-thing among young Malaysians now especially those who've just caught onto the whole K-culture wave. There are plenty of Korean BBq chains and invidually owned korean bbq restaurants in Malaysia at the moment. But, one that gives off the exact same vibe as the ones you see in Korean dramas where the lead character is sitting at a short round table eating their BBq meat with a bottle of soju, San nae dul will be that exact restaurant that sets off that vibe. San nae dul is situated in one of the shop lots around Solaris dutamas but most people do not notice San Nae Dul as it is situated at one of the corner lots way inside, where most people do not bother walking to and end up eating at other Korean places. Even I, myself found this place through my cousin's Instagram post. San Nae Dul offers Super quick service. The staff here serve you straight as you walk in. San Nae Dul mainly offers meats either in sets or individually but obviously the sets for 2-3 people are always the most worth it ones to order. Not only that, San Nae Dul also offers a few jiggaes (Korean stews) like sundubu jiggae (tofu stew) and other Korean stews. However, unlike other Korean restaurants, the jiggaes here aren't served with rice (that's why the stews are so cheap compared to other places) and instead you have to order rice separately. The BBqs I'd recommend from this place would be their pork belly and the baby octopus in gochujang sauce. But make sure you do not overcooked the baby octopus because it is not going to taste nice rubbery. If you aren't sure how Long to cook it for, always feel free to ask the staff to do it for you. Also, the 'service' (Koreans' way of saying free stuff, it is very common in Korea) in this restaurant is basically the free burnt rice tea that is refill-able. Here's a tip, the gochus (chilis) and garlics and lettuce are all refill-able. Another tip when eating here is to NEVER over order, it's a bbq shop, you cook most of the stuff yourself, add on only when you have not had enough, this way, your meet will alwaya be freshly Bbqed. Keep in mind that if you are the type to sweat and eat, you'd probably want to visit this place on a cool or rainy day. Also, keep in mind to be early because this place does get crowded during peak hours. Yes, that is really how good it is.
