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.

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.

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 ordered the Korean Japchae and the Bundled Platter to share (includes Galbi, Ribeye Steak, Marinated Beef, Pork Belly and Bulgogi, all the sides, lettuce wraps and rice). All of the food was delicious! The meats were flavorful and cooked perfectly. Warm corn tea is served with your meal and I like that they cook all of the meats for you. Servers constantly came by to refill our side plates and drinks. This restaurant had a TV playing K Pop music videos too. The atmosphere in the restaurant is fun and it's definitely a good place to go with a group. Check it out!

Kang Ho Dong is a Korean ex-wrestler turned comedian. Due to a tax evasion scandal in 2011, he took a temporary hiatus from entertainment and focused on other ventures. His first U.S. restaurant Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong opened in L.A.'s KTown back in 2012. It's a very successful chain now, and today you can find locations all over like Sydney, Shanghai, and San Jose. I don't know if he's still affiliated with 678 Korean BBQ, but his name (강호동) and likeness is still used on signs and menus. This is not an AYCE kind of establishment, everything is a la carte. Prices are high, but still less expensive compared to the States. One strip of marinated short rib was ₱1350 or $23.86 USD; two strips of galbi are about $56.00 USD at their SoCal locations. The meat quality was fine, though some pieces were on the fattier side. Staff members will grill everything at the table. I did not like the rice, which was old and hard to chew. You will find 678 Korean BBQ at SM by the BAY, which is a dining area and amusement park by the water. It's a part of Mall of Asia, which is the largest mall in the Philippines and the sixth largest in the world.

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.

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.

No music was on, multiple separate dining areas so it felt a bit disjointed and we had view of airport/freeway (which was actually kind of interesting). Hard liquor, beer and wine available. My husband and I spent this past month traveling abroad. The first part of our trip was actually in Korea (Seoul and Busan) and the last part was spent throughout the Philippines. We love Korean BBQ and couldn't get enough so, on our last night in Manila, we stayed at the Sheraton by the airport and went to their Korean BBQ restaurant Oori. I have to say at first I was skeptical. KBBQ in the Philippines after having it in Korea? A restaurant by the airport AND in a hotel? In my experiences, airports and hotels are not known for good food. HOWEVER, the restaurant was clean, spacious and stylish; the table was set nicely with waters and hot tea, and the selection of KBBQ dishes was great: beef, pork and seafood items, all coming with a fresh salad, banchan and greens. The best thing is, there's something for everyone on the menu! Not just KBBQ. And everything looked tasty. I contemplated a seared whitefish that looked amazing, a soy sauce marinated chicken with veggies, but there were plenty of other sides and entree type meals to choose from. What we ordered: KBBQ Australian Wagyu MB 9 US Short Rib Kimchi pancake Bulgogi kimbap Steamed mandu White rice Sadly, the kimbap and the mandu never made it to the table so we just cancelled it because we got full anyway, but everything else was delicious. They offered to cook our meat, which was very nice, but we preferred to cook our own. Charcoal grill and good ventilation so meat had a little extra flavor but it never got smoky or smelly in the room. Our meal came with all the typical accoutrements one can expect with KBBQ. The banchan were varied and fresh with generous refills. Wagyu was tender and delicious although for MB 9, not as evenly marbled as I would expect. Regardless, it was tender and flavorful and really satisfied my craving. We would have gone back the next day had we not been leaving. Very happy this was our last meal! I was happy with the mellow vibe of the restaurant and the excellent quality of the food. Even though the service could have been better, everyone was still super friendly and relatively attentive. If you are staying in Manila for a long layover or for the night, it's definitely worth going!
