Authentic kimbab in KL~ 88 Kimbab, Desa Sri Hartamas

We normally buy kimbap from Seoul Mart in Desa Sri Hartamas or Kim's Mart at Solaris Mont' Kiara. At one time we buy kimbab again when we are in Seoul Mart but left only one roll. Seoul mart owner asked if we could wait for 10 minutes he will ask to make more. From there we found out the kimbab was from a restaurant next door~ 88 Kimbab. It is located between Seoul Mart and Maybank or under Daorae. The unit itself is split into two shops. Left is hair saloon while right is 88 Kimbap. 88 Kimbab selling not just Kimbab, there are other variety of food as well. Their price is cheaper than average Korean restaurant since they don't serve fancy or luxury banchan (Korean side dishes) but they do serve simple banchan which taste good. 





First time eat-in was on new years eve before 2014 end. It was a quick dinner so I did not take any picture. Second time here in Jan 2015. I try their soondubu jigge and price at RM15 only. Surprisingly with that low price, it has the same amount of ingredient in soft tofu stew that I can get in other Korean restaurant. Since then we came quite often for quick dinner. Bibimbap is one of our most frequent order. Bibimbap served in Ttukbaegi also available. His most favourite order is Tteok-mandu-guk (Rice Cake Dumplings Soup). Once in a while we will shared a Sundae (Korean blood Sausage).





We also try many others such as Kimchi Sujebi, Kimchi-Bokkuembap, Jeyuk deopbab, Tteokbokki & ramyeon set, cheese Bulgogi Deokbap, etc and their signature Kimbab. Their kimbab taste similar to the kimbab chains in Korea. 88 Kimbab also selling banchan. I will buy some (similar ingredient that they use in their bibimbap) to make bibimbap at home. Their also selling home-made Sikye (sweet rice punch) at RM13 in 1.5 liter bottle. Worth to buy and enjoy if you like Sikye.

    1. Hi Hyeri,

      I would recommend Seoul Mart in Desa Sri Hartamas, Kim's Mart and K-Mart in Solaris Mont' Kiara. Each of these 3 Korean Marts selling certain range of brand of the Korean products so I would run between these three mart to get what I need sometimes. I suggest you give a visit to these three Korean groceries store to give a comparison to see which has the more items you need. Hope this help ^^
