Mont Kiara has the highest concentration of Korean restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, reflecting the neighbourhood's significant Korean expat population. The Korean BBQ restaurants clustered around Jalan Kiara and the 1 Mont'Kiara mall area are the most authentic in the city — proper table grills, good quality meat cuts (samgyeopsal, galbi, bulgogi), Korean side dishes (banchan), and Korean beer or soju to accompany.
Several well-regarded spots operate in the neighbourhood: Hanwoori, Koba, and a handful of newer options offer proper charcoal grilling. Prices are higher than you'd pay in Seoul but reasonable for KL. Reservations are advisable on Friday and Saturday evenings. The restaurants tend to be family-friendly; late evenings get livelier.
