I reaaaaally love korean restaurants and this one never failed me. All of my expectations were met!…read moreTheir food is the best! Plus, their staff is very cooperative. All of your wishes are given in this restaurant. Highly recommended.

I had my very first legit Korean food experience at Metro Seoul in Don Antonio. The area is…read morepractically a haven of various Korean restaurants, eateries and even Korean schools. I say this particular restaurant is legitimate because aside from its Korean owners, the food that they serve are cooked with fresh and prime ingredients. Sure, there are a lot more Korean restaurants that are cheaper in the area, but Metro Seoul, although a bit pricey, is definitely worth it if you're looking for an authentic Korean dining experience. Their menu with all its choices is really tempting, but remember that you need not to order too much, especially if you're just dining in 2s or 4s because they have large servings and a huge selection of side dishes that comes unlimited. I was with a friend and two others; we only had a small pot of 'Kimchi Hot Pot' (P700.00) and 400g of 'Grilled Back Neck of Beef' (P800.00) that we didn't even finish because we were already full. I've tried a few other Korean restaurants but what I like most with Metro Seoul is that they always keep the quality and quantity of their dishes at its best serving.

When I first saw Omonok, I thought, "Ay, Korean-style? No way." Boy, I was so wrong. I finally…read moretried it and I know that I have found my favorite flavored chicken along Lilac St.! It has just the right amount of sweetness and it isn't super spicy (perfect for those who don't have a high tolerance for spicy food). In addition, unlike the other chicken restaurants, Omonok allows you to choose from three parts: drumsticks, thighs, and wings! Their menu will not overwhelm you as their chicken comes in only one flavor. I also love their version of Korean fried rice (Omo-nin) and fries with nori! Omonok is definitely one of my favorite go-to restaurants along Lilac!

This place offers Samgyupsal now. They have a wider array of side dishes to choose from compared to…read moreother samgyupsals. They have meat, chicken, pork and seafood as well. They also include free Shabu shabu. Downside is you'll smell like a grill since they dont have an exhaust. Good service too

The side dishes were all tasty. My favorites were marinated pickles and singkamas with red sauce…read more The meat was okay, but it could have been better if the meat were softer when cooked. All in all it's good for its price. I enjoyed cooking and it's nice to know that they were using charcoal.

This is the second time I've been to Samgyupsal, the wait was a brutal 2.5 hours but in the end it…read morewas well worth the wait. Food was amazing and there's something about making your own food on the grill that makes everything taste good. Staff are friendly and happy to make suggestions too, give it a try!

Kim Chee Korean Cuisine is one of many restaurants located in what used to be called S-Mall in…read moreMarikina City. Nearby are St. Scholastica's Academy Marikina and several Pokéstops. We were served the Shrimp Tempura which I thought was good. We also tried the Galbi (beef ribs stew). The meat was adequately slow-cooked and was very tender. The soup that came with the Galbi I found to be bland compared to other Korean-style beef ribs stew I have had many times before. I hear the samgyeopsal was really good, and I wish that the samgyeopsal was served at our table. I would have to plan a return trip to Kim Chee soon.

Another Korean restaurant worth every visit in Marikina!!! They have unlimited banchan and cheap…read moreKorean ice cream! I've dined here twice already, and here are the dishes that I've already tried: Ramyun: one big bowl of spicy noodles with egg and lots of vegetables! It's good for sharing, but the soup may be too much. I love the texture of the noodles - smooth and chewy! Kimbap: one can choose among 3 variants - ham, tuna, or mixed. I've tried the last one, and it's so good! It has a nice salty taste that goes well with the rice and other fillings! Bibimbap: this is the least one I enjoyed so far... I found the serving size too small for its price, plus the taste is just meh. Not as flavorful as other bibimbap's I've tried. Dakgalbi: BBQ chicken that's so good, my sister ate this more than I did! I'm not a big fan of anything BBQ, but this one has a good balance of sweetness and spiciness, with no little or no hint of bitterness. This already comes with a few pieces of fresh lettuce. Samgyupsal: at P230 or a bit more (I've forgotten exactly how much), this is okay, but knowing that there's another Marikina Korean restaurant that offers unlimited samgyupsal for only P290, I'd rather go to the latter to get my fix. The drinks they have are limited to canned juices and sodas, but they do have in-house cool barley tea, which is simple yet refreshing. End your meal with Korean ice cream; selections include Melona variants, Encho, and Samanco. The place has is also relaxing and is good for groups.

I've heard about this place from friends and, by their recommendation, I had to eat here with a…read moregroup. There was a night where my friends and I were having a bad week and we all agreed that there is only one cure: Korean Barbecue! So, it was the perfect time to try this place out. Now, just to manage your expectations, the restaurant is quite dingy and not too clean. But, that is what you expect from any legit Korean restaurant in Manila, right? If you're in need for an ALL-meat grill buffet, this is the place to be. Have a Korean barbecue craving at 2AM? Ba-Be-Q are open until 4AM. Basically, they have all the bases covered for a good Korean meat sweat experience. Banchans are good. You get complimentary Steamed Egg and Pa Muchim (Korean green onion salad). They have 2 options for the buffet: Php 399 is EAYC Boneless Chicken Barbecue (Pinoy style) + Pork Belly; Php599 is EAYC Boneless Chicken, Pork Belly, Beef Belly and Beef Bulgogi. Both buffets include one bowl of rice and soup. In my opinion, go for the Php599 buffet but, just focus on the Beef Belly + Beef Bulgogi. I was not a fan of the Boneless Chicken because it was on the sweet side and took too long to cook. So, by the time it was good to eat, I was too full to eat the chicken. If you just want to feed your meat cravings on a late night with friends (with a bottle of Soju or beer), go here! Absolutely, SULIT! :D

If you are looking for a Korean barbeque feast including an array of side dishes, you MUST eat…read morehere! Added plus is they're open till 4AM, so it's perfect for a post drinking babuyan session. We ended up here, because a friend needed some food therapy after a stressful week. We weren't sure whether to choose the P399 Eat all you can with just pork belly and chicken or the P599 option with pork, chicken, beef bacon and beef bulgogi. I am so happy we chose the latter. Soon after ordering, all the food started coming out. While the waiter started grilling our beef bacon, we were busy slurping our miso like but sourer soup. Then came some pickled radish and spicy cucumber slices. My two faves would have to be the steamed egg (so soft and fluffy) and the spicy salad (l cannot stress how much I love this dish. I rejoice whenever they serve it at a Korean restaurant). We liked the beef bacon a lot, but the beef bulgogi was something else. They obviously take their marination very seriously. The pork wasn't bad, but it paled in comparison to the beef. They need to work on their chicken, though. Something about the taste was off. Overall though, this place was absolutely sulit!!! Will definitely be back when I am craving for Korean style meat. P.S. They've got beer and soju too, so cheers!

DEATHBED FOOD POISONING…read more I really hate to make complaints about a business but I have been running a 104 fever bound to my bed for the last 5 days. I got ameobiasis from their food(which can kill you if not treated). The place isn't very clean or organized but I try to still have good faith but that was my mistake. Idk what level of negligence it must take to get this deathly sick but it greatly upsets me. The people handling the food must be playing in the toilet. DO NOT COME!!!

As with any Korean place that's not Bon Chon or other fastfood outlets, what's great about Samgye…read moreTang is their ban chan which they serve with your food. I ordered the Japchae and the service was prompt. The nice Korean lady was very accommodating as she served me my food. I also love that there's WiFi. Samgye Tang could get a little expensive if you dine alone so bring a buddy or a significant other with you to share the expenses. I have yet to try other dishes, but the pajeon and the japchae, my favorite Korean dishes, were very promosing so that's always a good sign for me.
