Overview & Highlights

If you're on the lookout for an authentic taste of Korean cuisine with a unique twist, look no further than XIN RI QIAN LI MA KOREAN RESTAURANT, nestled at the heart of Iskandar Puteri. This gem of a restaurant offers an interesting fusion of North Korean and Chinese flavors, celebrating the rich culinary traditions with a selection that is both hearty and satisfying.

As you step inside, the atmosphere surrounds you like a warm embrace—simple yet cozy, perfect for family gatherings or a casual night out with friends. One of the standout features as you settle in is the complimentary seaweed soup and side dishes, allowing you to dive straight into an authentic Korean dining experience. A notable highlight is the bibimbap, praised by many returning customers for its toasty finish and generous portions. This dish showcases flavor-packed ingredients, all served over aromatic Wuchang rice, promising a mouthwatering adventure with every bite.

While some dishes may lean towards a simplified version of their South Korean counterparts, the flavors still shine through, satisfying those cravings with sincerity. The ginseng chicken soup is another must-try, reputedly featuring traditional North Korean recipes. However, expectations should be tempered; its unique flavor profile leans more towards its Chinese influences, particularly the tenderness of 三黃 chicken rather than an overt ginseng taste.

Diners like Man Hong note that their abundant portions and average standards don’t take away from the gratifying experience, making it ideal for hearty appetites.

No visit would be complete without indulging in their stellar sushi, which has garnered appreciation for its distinct flavors and fragrant rice, leaving customers craving more. With an average cost of RM20–30 per person, the restaurant strikes a fine balance between quality and value, allowing you to enjoy a variety of delicious dishes without breaking the bank.

North Korean food from china chained. Very simple dishes selection. Taste is not bad. Simplified version of South Korean food. Food waiting time a bit slow.

Combination of China and North Korean delicacy, claims to be the first recipe of the ginseng chicken soup. Do expect that you’re in a Chinese style restaurant where the food portion is huge and it’s standard just above average. We had the bibimbap and ginseng chicken soup, crave got satisfied. Soup has the fragrance more towards their China-imported 三黃 chicken rather than ginseng-flavoured. Bibimbap wise strikes a balance between its taste and health-consciousness. Sides like seaweed soup, kimchi and yellow bean is awesome and they free flow! Excellent service from the team where the young man has his attention to detail in serving every table. Definitely worth another visit to explore the other options!

I’ve been looking forward to trying this Chinese-Korean cuisine for a long time, and it did not disappoint! I highly recommend the chicken and beef hot pots — both were full of flavor and really satisfying. The menu is clear and easy to navigate, and the staff are friendly and helpful in explaining the dishes. The atmosphere is simple and cozy, and there’s even free soup available. A great spot overall!

Surprised to find South Korean ????????food at Eco! Free seaweed soup, side dishes, and tea were a nice touch. Loved the bibimbap (made with Wuchang rice), cold buckwheat noodles, and Angus beef pot — all came in big portions. Sushi was great too. Around RM20–30 per person. Will come again!

Their main dish, the bibimbap, was great! Came nice and toasty, and was given a jug of roasted rice tea to go with it. Free side dishes like seaweed soup are served here and it's self serve Lady boss here was so nice and friendly, her smile really made me feel good about being there. Would have been nice to talk to her longer if not for the long queue of people coming in, but I saw she made everyone feel welcome and could tell that made the people waiting less frustrated. The wait staff here was also really helpful despite being so busy Kimbap roll was so-so though, but wouldn't complain about it.

The sushi was unique, with a flavor I haven't experienced at other restaurants. The rice was especially fragrant. The other dishes were also good, and the food was served quickly. They also provided side dishes like kimchi and pickled soybeans.
