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.

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

Between the 599 and 499 options, the 599 is definitely a better deal. We basically tried all the meats, and would advise that you get the beef platter as it comes with five different flavoured meats. 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.

I have been to other restos that offers "samgyups" but in this store, our eyes felt smoky and teary. We smell like food afterwards yeah, but the smoky inside air that everyone shares really can be blamed to the poor exhaust/ventilation system. Also due to the congested table setting. Their Pasig(home depot) and Xentro Antipolo branches have better layouts. Food, unlimited!

Restaurant is located at the second floor of what used to be Arrow Food Park. 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.

AMBIENCE We were actually impressed with the restaurant's…read moresize. It looked a bit small from outside but once they opened the restaurant, we stepped in and noticed how far back those seats go! 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.

AYCE KBBQ! I came here for dinner with my family and waited…read moreabout 20 mins to be seated. They had chairs outside but it wasn't really comfy. The place was a bit small and crowded. Once seated, we were offered some water and the menu. I was a bit sad to see that there were only 10 items on their Unlimited 2 menu, 5 beef and 5 pork items. I was used to kbbq in the States, which had more than 20 items on their basic set. All their meats were marinated well so I was happy about that. They also had some lettuce and some sauce that you can eat the meat with. The thing that stood out to me was their ventilation system. It was directly above the grill and it we can adjust how high we want it to be or how close we want it to be on the grill. Overall, I would come back to this location if I'm craving kbbq and because the service was very accommodating. Total php 499/ person (~$10)

Luckily we saw Santorini, which initially upon seeing the signage in all its Curlz MT glory made us think "Ooh, there's something Greek and Mediterranean, we're saved" but then we were definitely surprised to know that it's... Korean!?!?! Huh. And pretty, pretty good Korean in fact. I would say it tastes quite "authentic" but I have no right to say that because I've never actually been to Korea to sample local cuisine. Lots of vegan options such as veggie dumplings, and.. actually I really cannot recall what the other vegetable things are, but they have a good selection on their menu. I got this cold noodle dish with spicy sauce (that may be gojuchang?!?!), chopped fresh veggies and kimchi. The noodles are really chewy and the spicy sauce really gives the dish a kick (Note: If you're vegan, you have to ask them to omit the hard boiled egg). My closest comparison would be a bibimbap with noodles instead of rice...buuuut if you're Korean that probably sounded grossly inaccurate (Sorry!). Their bibimbap though is really good and miles away from that bibimbap I am used to having at mall food courts. If you're vegan, request for the meat and egg to be removed. I still have no clue why this place is called Santorini, as the inside just screams KOREA everywhere--walls with K-Pop star posters and overflowing with notes and doodles from their customers (we are in a school district after all) and not to forget a TV that ~of course~ plays hypnotizing K-Pop concerts on loop.

Ahhh. San Sung. San…read moreSung was my first Korean love. It taught me all the food I have to order as I taught my taste buds to navigate its brilliance. This was the restaurant where I learned about Sam Gyup Sal (P250), my only Korean lover. It introduced me to unlimited ban chan goodness. It introduced me to gochu jang paste that I love putting so much of it in my Bibimbap (P250). I even had a quiet birthday celebration here in one of their private rooms. Imagine this, for P500 at San Sung, you're already covered. You love your rice, you got your Bibimbap. You love your meat teamed with lettuce and all sorts of ban chan (side dishes), you got Sam Gyup Sal! This is such a steal! If you don't leave this place full, I'm treating you to another dish of Sam Gyup Sal, 'till you do. But let's be honest, just one order of it is enough to beg you to stop them from serving you their awesome selection of ban chan. Note that this has happened to me a lot of times. Sometimes I regret it but it was for the best. My pants begged me to. San Sung used to be that off-white creepy house along Makati Avenue. They changed addresses about two years ago and is along P. Burgos already. Still painted white (and with orange accents). You won't miss it!
