Maroo Korean Restaurant — Restaurant in Cebu City

Stopped in for a late lunch yesterday. The place was nearly empty. I only had soondubu jjigae, so this is not a review of the whole menu. However, since jjigae is a staple dish in Korean cuisine, I thought it would be representative of the quality of the restaurant's food.

This restaurant locates in Korean town with mostly Korean customers. Recommended by the local, crowded place.
