We’ve scoured the Internet to curate this list of the best halal and Muslim-friendly Korean restaurants in the Klang Valley.
Important note: Although some of these restaurants aren’t halal-certified, we have done due diligence to ensure they are pork and alcohol-free, on top of using halal suppliers. That said, we recommend you verify with the restaurants before visiting for added assurance.
