Long lines are usually a good sign that the food is worth the wait. While the line to be seated…read morewrapped around the building, we couldn't leave the area we were exploring without partaking in this Korean BBQ experience! 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.

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

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.

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.

We liked it enough to have a second round so if you're adventurous, I'd recommend this. Beef Galbi Among the meats we ordered, this is my favorite for its softness and sweetness. This ran out pretty fast! Samgyeopsal It's our all-time favorite everytime we go for Korean grills. Theirs was memorable for being crunchy, similar to chicharon or fried pork skins but cut very thin. Service It was pretty good but a bit of extra effort was needed to call servers' attention. There were times where everyone was in the kitchen or elsewhere. Ambience They have many tables.

As soon as we arrived…read moredownstairs, one of the servers informed someone upstairs so our table would be ready shortly. Upon sitting down, all our side dishes were ready. One fun experience was making orders and calling service with the screen at the side of the table. Side dishes could use some improvement. There was hardly anything special about the California Maki, Ebi Tempura, Kani Salad, and most definitely the Buta Dumplings. Most were served at a temperature similar to what you'd get if they were left on the side for so long. I'll give some credit for the Spicy Beef Yakiniku, Spicy Sliced Pork Bouquet, Seasoned Egg, Chicken Liver, and ice-cream There was only one instance where they didn't serve a dish we ordered on the screen, so when the server arrived, they asked us to order again. Staffers were friendly and mostly attentive. The young girl who assisted us downstairs was a jolly one, and she's consistent because she looked the same even when I visited the neighboring establishments on different occasions.

The quality of meat is better than many others (in my opinion). The cheese is sumptuous, but their kimchi isn't great. Overall, I'd recommend the restaurant especially if you've grown tired of all the rest.
