Let’s talk about patience, hunger, and really good Korean soup.
I recently braved a 2-hour wait at MODU TRX – Samgyetang Specialty Korean Restaurant. Yes, two hours. Was I hangry? Absolutely. Did it pay off? Mostly.
The Queue Is Real 😅
If you’re planning to visit, here’s the truth: come early, bring a friend, or prepare for a long wait. Watching people shuffle in and out while your stomach growls is a test of character — or maybe just bad timing.
What I Ate
🍲 Spicy Herbal Samgyetang
Portion size: enough for two hungry humans
Taste: herbal, comforting, with a spicy kick that hits just right
Verdict: soup lovers, this is your dream bowl. Seriously, you’ll savor every drop.
🥬 Minari Pancake
Texture: crispy outside, soft inside
Taste: flavorful but a bit too salty for me
Verdict: still worth a try, but maybe sip the soup first to balance it out
The Price 💸
Yes, it’s pricey. This is not your everyday lunch spot — think of it as a treat-yourself moment. Worth it if you love Korean cuisine, maybe less so if you’re counting every ringgit.
🏆 Verdict: Is MODU TRX Worth It?
Yes… if: You love hearty, spicy, herbal soups, enjoy Korean flavors, and don’t mind waiting. The Spicy Herbal Samgyetang is comfort in a bowl and generously portioned enough for two.
No… if: You’re short on patience, not a soup fan, or sensitive to salty side dishes. The Minari Pancake might be too salty, and the 2-hour wait plus pricey menu can feel heavy on the wallet.
Bottom line: MODU TRX delivers on flavor and experience, but it’s an occasional treat, not an everyday stop. Bring patience, bring a friend, and savor every drop — the hype is mostly real.
