    Jip Bab - Pork on table grill

    Jip Bap needs a lot of work on how they serve their food if they want to stay in business for the…read morelong run. My wife and sister-in-law wanted to try our luck with the new Korean resto in town. It is tucked away in a strip mall plaza across the street from McDonald's within the MegaWorld complex. From the outside walking in, it looks very clean and modern so it's a nice feeling overall. Main floor has quite a few tables and they also have a 2nd floor for lounging and drinks. Their menu has many choices for both individual and combination dishes. Their staff are friendly and very willing to accommodate our appetites. We ordered the SoonDuBu (spicy seafood tofu) soup, TangSuYuk, (Korean style sweet and sour pork), half-sized Yangnyum chicken (marinated in soy sauce, honey, garlic, pears and green onion then sprinkled with sesame seeds), and HweDupBap (Salmon sashimi on a bed of vegetables and rice). The appetizer dishes came out right away - small amounts but enough before our order arrived. Sounds good right? So this is where they failed: SoonDuBu was just ok. Nothing stellar but I was pleased that it had a good amount of substance in it. The TangSuYuk lacked the sweet and sour flavour I was looking for. After a few bites, you just keep chewing on more chicken and deep fried batter. The same went for the Yangnyum chicken as the spice sort of overrides the entire dish. But the biggest disappointment of all was the HweDupBap. Normally this dish is served with cold and freshly cut slices of sashimi. How would you feel if it was served frozen? We had to return it to have it cooked because there was no way we would continue eating FROZEN sashimi. Then eating pan fried sashimi when it was meant to be served fresh and not frozen (or defrosted for that matter) was an even bigger disappointment. At the end of the meal, the owner kept swatting at flies with his "electric tennis racket". We will not be coming back any time soon.

    This is one of the best food places I've been to. Prices are reasonable and the food is tasty plus…read moregood portions. The tofu stew has a real kick but still enjoyed it. Plus the food is prepared pretty fast which is another plus. They also give out free ice cream.

    Finally! I got to try this place. It just opened recently around July of this year but I never had…read morethe chance to try it out; and now that I finally had the chance...it didn't disappoint! The place and ambience was modern and blended in with the other restaurants in the area. There weren't too many banchan offerings though but that wasn't a problem. The important thing is that as long as they have good kimchi, I'm good with that. The food was astounding! They're as authentic as you can get. One notable dish was their Beef Galbi Jjim. Out of all the Korean restaurants I've been to here in Cebu, this is the only one that has legit Beef Galbi Jjim. The other dishes I tried are worth mentioning as well; the pork from the Osam Bulgogi and Jeauk Bokkem was tasty, tender, and of good quality while the Duenjang Jjigae (soup) was flavorful and boiling hot (just what I like and what it should be). The Mandu (dumplings) was juicy and the ratio of meat was balanced well with the wrapper. The Jajangmyun was as expected. It wasn't the best I had but still satisfactory. To finish it all off, they gladly offered a complimentary Korean fish shaped ice cream sandwich called Samanco. Overall, I'd definitely come back again and also try their other dishes.
