Once the waitstaff understood that we were there to eat our hearts out, they kept the bottomless accouterments coming! At one point, we had 4 different waitstaff stopping by our table every five minutes to bring us more of something delicious. Everything was fresh and good quality. Know before you go: 1. Make sure you know what's included in your order and what's extra. The waitstaff is more than happy to help make sense of it all. 2. Come wearing stretchy pants! You will undoubtedly eat more than you intended! 3. Bring your own hand wipes. The paper towels provided just don't cut it! I mean, it's BBQ! Plan on getting messy. Between the healthy portions, attentive waitstaff, and the casual atmosphere that teeters on gritty, we had an amazing culinary experience! I would definitely come back to this restaurant.

This is the reason why meat tastes better and tastier. We are glad to have a host family while I'm visiting the Philippines who knows good food, like honest to goodness must places to eat. One day, we were brought to this place right in the heart of Manila. The place might be small but the dining experience was gigantic. We enjoyed an AYCE for Php 580 with unlimited choices of pork and beef. The choices were so many that we just opted to get all beef. So many also were the banchans. When the server brought them out and laid in our table, there was no space left uncovered with these tiny plates and bowls of side dishes. Aside from that, we also requested for the steamed egg and tofu soup. Best part of the meal? You don't do the grilling because the server cooks all the meat for you. Ha! That's nothing unheard of here in the US. Overall, excellent service not just by the server but the entire staff. Definitely worth more than the money you pay for. I will definitely come back on my next trip to the Philippines.

They were all attentive very warm. My sibling ordered the menu A . As they were serving the different meats and condiments , I saw a small cockroach crippling on one of the raw meat. I told the waiter and they immediately replaced the meat and apologized. It was disgusting yet for them to immediately resolved the problem was nice. Yet still unhealthy and unsafe seeing creatures crawling. I didn't eat the meat. The condiments were average. You have to ask for some dish that they don't offered. Like pickled radish, bean sprout, soup, rice is extra pay . They didn't let us pay for the rice and gave us free cofffee drink for the cockroach inconvenient. It's a nice restaurant yet attention needs to be addressed on safe handling and sanitation. Thank you .

I really wanted to like this place, but I was quite disappointed with the meat dishes. We were…read moretold by the server that all of their meat is tender, but that was not true. We chose to have them grill the meat for us, and the first dish had an after taste of the gas they might have used. The second dish were the short ribs. They were very tasty, but unfortunately very chewy. I opted to eat the soups and vegetable dishes that we ordered. I enjoyed the egg pancake that we ordered. I like that they are open 24/7, but I wish their meat was more tender. I guess I am just accustomed to going to other Korean barbecue restaurants in which the meat is both tasty and tender. I liked that they had unlimited banchan (side dishes). It was nice that they gave us complimentary coffee at the end of the meal, although our birthday celebrant stated that the coffee tasted like it was from a 3-in-1 coffee packet. I thought that maybe they would have good desserts? Unfortunately, they do not have any desserts on their menu.

It took us awhile to forgive Samgyupsalamat. At their Kapitan Tikong branch months ago, we were…read morevery unsatisfied with the tough meat they served us. We used to be regular customers there so we knew our meat. Our visit at this new branch redeemed us as regular customers again. We were so happy to be surprised by the extra space they have at the back; you'd think the branch is small if you only took a peek from the outside. It was a bit warm at first but they adjusted the aircon later on. Walls were painted black even in the restroom. Overall place looked simple and had that hole-in-the-wall vibe. Cleaning the front windows looks necessary though it amusingly matches the restaurant vibe. Service was good since they always got what we needed at fair waiting times. Refills came back loaded with food and the water pitcher really kept the service water cold. The free veggie leaves, dips, side dishes, steamed egg, and soup were impressive to the eyes and tongue. Be careful with the steamed egg because the bowl was insanely hot! We ordered two meats ala carte and they were excellent both in texture and flavor! To the management team: Thank you for impressing us, and we can only hope and wish you maintain the good quality of your food and service. Forget what I said about the windows; they still pass! :p

We were excited to try this place to celebrate my cousin's birthday and was extremely disappointed…read more I've been to dozens of Korean bbq places and this was the first time I was disappointed. There are about 3 categories that include the unlimited bbq and you can also purchase items ala carte. The pork is PHP 399, beef PHP 499, beef ribs PHP 499 which was unavailable! The restaurant was brand new and they didn't have the one item I wanted to try. All the meats were so fatty and for those prices, I would consider it over priced. The quality was extremely poor and I found myself trying to cut through the meat to remove the fat, without much luck since there was so much of it. Save your money. I wouldn't recommend coming here.

Interior's another thing; very well-lit, inviting with a sunset palette and lively vibe despite us being the first customers. The crowd started building up later on and when we left, a number of tables were already filled. FOOD Since this was a first-time visit, we focused on the pork options since there were already 8 to choose from (and 2 for chicken). Unfortunately, we had no more room for chicken either because we were SO FULL from all the delicious meats and banchan (side dishes). Skirt Meat and Rack were the most meaty while the Pork Belly, if cooked right, would give ya a nice chicharon experience! Cheeks were actually cute and very interesting to eat. We made sure to cut them into smaller pieces midway, because they are curled up like me when I sleep sideways. Gotta get all angles cooked! Cooking, overall, was so fun and we took turns doing it so the other could have more time to eat; teamwork! Free spicy soup was available but I passed on that and focused more on the fish cake-type of banchan plus the cheese dip for the meats. This place offers very satisfying options! SERVICE Everyone did very well! They were easy to call for assistance regarding the grilling surface, refills and bill payment. Knowledge of the menu was also apparent.

Ask anyone who lives in BF Homes what they think is the most popular Korean restaurant here and…read morethey would probably say Sam Won. It's been around the block, or should I say avenue for some years already. It's has survived and outlived all the other restaurants that had early deaths and will continue to remain there for indefinitely. It's simple. The food is delicious, full with flavor and the prices within reason. They give a good selection of side dishes too, from the regular kimchi to other pickled vegetables. But what I like best about this restaurant are the slabs of meat you can order and grill on the in-table charcoal grill. Tips: 1. For first-timers, order the Bibimbap and pork belly. I guarantee you will love these dishes. 2. Order the fish ice cream after eating. It's fish-shaped ice cream with vanilla and beans inside.

And there's good reason why it's been around so long! It's relatively inexpensive for its quality, and probably the best you'll get in BF. Korean food is amazing, especially when it's cooked right in front of you and you're surrounded by a number of side dishes (as all Korean BBQ places would offer). We ordered a batch of mixed meats to be grilled (pork, beef, chicken), which were done on our table. And by the way, Sam Won is the only Korean place I've been to where we tried grilling chicken. It's mostly pork and beef, isn't it? Be sure to dip the meats in the sauces too, really tasty! :D
