It took us awhile to forgive Samgyupsalamat. At their Kapitan Tikong branch months ago, we were very 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 read more

If you're from the US and haven't tried Korean barbecue definitely check this place out. It's located in a upper scaled part of manila. We stayed about two blocks away in the Belmont Hotel and walked over. For about $10 per person us or 600 pesos all you can eat for 2 hours. We were only there for maybe an hour we tapped out. We didn't even eat the sides we only ate the meat and there was three of us and we could not do it. The place is nice and clean the staff is plenty quick to fill up your drinks any side you want and any additional meats you want. read more

Ambiance is good!!! Good service and masarap ang food and sulit!!! ;) highly recommended.

All of their meat is great. But i dont like their side dishes.I dont like their kim chi specially.. Sides is too limited. Service is really not great here in Starmall SJDM branch. Staffs are slow usually they will ignore you. read more

They were able to seat our group of 6 in under 30 mins! Great food and meat quality! It takes a bit to get your orders, but maybe it was just really busy that day. It was a packed restaurant when we went but we still had a great time. Definitely recommend, especially for tourists as the water and iced tea are made with filtered water and we didn't get any stomach bugs after drinking it! read more

My pork-eating days are behind me now, but when I used to enjoy all the porcine delights that the world can offer, my perfect idea of a hedonistic and devil-may-care indulgence is a slowly paced and savored Korean barbeque dinner. I used to live near Samgyupasalamat, which is an unassuming neighborhood joint that was put up to cater to the needs of the homesick Korean students who live in the condos and townhouses nearby. The TV screens always play K-POP, which adds to the bright and sunny interiors. Their all-you-can-eat weekend Korean buffet constitutes unlimited servings of ban chan (Korean appetizesr), rice, cabbage and lettuce, and samgyupsal, or thin slices of pork that should be grilled on the spot. The staff are very helpful and they go out of their way to assist you with making sure that your bacon strips are grillled nicely. I would go through plates and plates of the streaky bacon and pork loin, which I wrap in a lettuce leaf with a helping of rice, some kimchi, some gochujang and some salt and pepper. When I'm not indulging in their pork bufffet, their bibimbap is a fun and filling treat. Their pajeon, or ground pork and leek pancakes, area also the best, especially when dipped into their house soy sauce. I would cap each meal with a fish-shaped Binggrae ice cream sandwich, or with a bottle of soju, if I feel like a tipple. read more

Ambiance: 3.5 Mimicking Korean Restaurant is good however it can better if the smoke is handled. Yes, it is grilling most of the time but this one needz improvement as you'll end up teary eyes. Food: 4.0 Unlimited 1 - Pork Meat with 5 choices Unlimited 2 - Pork and Beef Meat with 9 choices Side Dishes (Banchan) are free and we love most the steamed egg (in earthenware bowl), Watercress Namul Mu Saengchae (but sweet Radish Salad), the braised sweet potatoes and the green onion spicy salad (i failed to get the name). Kimchi soup is good as well. Korean meats are good. We had tried the 9 meats but got 2 odd with rate of 1/5, the bulgogi... (Not sure of the spelling) and thinned pork strips. Service: 5.0 Quick responses and accommodating. Overall: 4.17 out 5.0 read more

One trip to Taft is all it takes to get your bbq fix. Samgyupsalamat is as good as local restaurants we've tried in Seoul.

Very authentic Korean bbq experience! Worth every penny. The place is nicely located near DLSU. The food is great especially if you order the "Unlimited Pork/Beef", the price for the unlimited option varies (price ranges around PHP300-500). It comes with unlimited side dishes, rice, pork or beef. For the service, its kinda slow. But overall experience is quite nice. read more

Authentic flavor, Korean TV shows playing on loop, unlimited banchan and open till late. It's the real deal! You don't need to book a ticket out of the country to experience casual Korean dining. One trip to Taft is all it takes to get your bbq fix. Samgyupsalamat is as good as local restaurants we've tried in Seoul. Okay, so there are a bunch of Korean places in Manila highly raved about that I haven't tried yet. Never felt the need to- we've been frequenting this place when we used to stay in Malate. A+ for its affordability, operating hours and great pajeon (green onion pancakes)! I'd also get thirds of their tasty kimchi they'll gladly refill. They serve different appetizers that go on rotation for the week, my favorite being the sweet potato tossed in sesame. I'm not a fan of pork so their Bulgogi is a nice alternative for some grilling. At the end of your meal, you'll definitely be beckoned with Samanco ice cream sandwiches they also sell for a sweet ending! read more

A complete set of side dishes is served upon order of two main courses. Their daepae samgyupsal (sliced pork belly) is my favorite! Just make sure not to overcook it or else it will get tough. Beef boolgogi consists of chunks of Korean beef bbq marinated in sweet sauce. I suggest cooking the beef boolgogi last because its sauce remains in the grill and sticks to all the meat you cook afterwards. For a restaurant that caters mostly to students, I think the dishes are priced well (daepae samgyupsal is Php 240 and beef boolgogi is Php 290), except for the rice which is a whopping Php80 per cup. read more

This is a good spot to get some Korean style pork. The meat is fresh and the prices are very reasonable. They had an all you can eat option, but we decided on the ala carte instead. It ended up being cheaper and everyone got plenty of food. Some of the banchan was good. The kimchi could be better, but it wasn't bad either. If I had this meal even in Korea, I wouldn't be disappointed. read more

Samgyupsalamat is awesome. It's probably the best place to fulfill your Korean pork barbeque cravings you have at night. If you happen live near Taft, or you study in De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde or De La Salle University, you're in luck because their one and only branch is located around that area. Let's start talking about the food. My God, it is great. Each table has a grill at the center of it because you (yes, you!) will be the ones cooking your own already-marinated meat. Of course, it wouldn't be Korean if there weren't any sides. Good thing Samgyupsalamat has got you covered for that. They will serve the overflowing amount of sides as soon as you receive your meat order. Without a doubt, as you eat your meat, your big circular table is filled with food. Isn't that great? However, the interior of the place isn't all that impressive. I guess it wouldn't bother your as much though because you'll be too busy minding your meat than to actually check the place out. Despite all that, Sampyupsalamat is still awesome. And you will surely step out of the restaurant uttering the word "-salamat". read more
