A Haven for Meat Lovers and Traditional Korean Cuisine Enthusiasts @ GU ON, Sri Petaling

Dive into the world of sizzling meats, savory side dishes, and the vibrant ambiance of Korean BBQ at the newly opened GU ON at Sri Petaling. This brand-new Korean BBQ restaurant is set to revolutionise the dining scene with its unique approach to authentic Korean cuisine. Gu On offers a tantalising selection of the finest quality meats, meticulous attention to detail, and a commitment to providing an unforgettable dining experience.

What sets Gu On apart from other Korean BBQ establishments is its unwavering dedication to sourcing only the best ingredients for a true Korean BBQ experience. The brainchild and visionary behind Gu On, Shuen Kuan, explains, "At Gu On, we are passionate about serving the highest quality meats to our discerning customers. Our meats, including grain-fed beef, New Zealand lamb, local fresh pork, and local hormone-free chicken, undergo a meticulous selection process to ensure unparalleled taste and tenderness."

But it doesn't stop there. Gu On takes pride in its detailed preparation process, which elevates the dining experience to new heights. For instance, their Australian grain-fed beef goes through a wet ageing process followed by two steps of smoking, resulting in succulent, perfectly marinated meat ready to be grilled at the table. Additionally, Gu On employs old-school original cast iron grill plates, free from harmful coatings, which not only provide a healthier grilling option but also enhance the overall taste.

One of the restaurant's unique features is the use of straw for smoking the meats, delivering a distinctive, subtle smoky flavour. "We have discovered that straw, unlike wood chips, imparts a unique but not overpowering smoke flavour to the meat," explains Shuen. "Once you taste it, the difference is obvious, and you won't settle for anything less."

Gu On's dedication to creating a natural and fuss-free environment is evident in both its menu and interior design. Inspired by nature, with elements such as stones, valleys, and caves, the restaurant invites food enthusiasts to experience the truest, highest-quality Korean BBQ. The minimalist space directs the focus to the kitchen and the food, ensuring that guests feel transported to a natural setting while indulging in fresh, delectable dishes.

In addition to their Korean BBQ, Gu On also offers a menu that creatively combines traditional Korean flavours with modern techniques. Shuen shares, "Our non-BBQ and non-soup menu items are a testament to our dedication to innovation. We use Korean ingredients to create dishes that complement and modernise classic Korean recipes. We call it 'Modern Korean' rather than fusion."

Gu On is built on two fundamental pillars: Spiritual and Technical. The Spiritual aspect encompasses the ambience and table settings, creating a comfortable and natural environment where diners can truly immerse themselves in the dining experience. On the other hand, the Technical aspect focuses on food preparation, ingredient selection, and impeccable customer service, ensuring every dish meets the highest standards of quality and taste.
