Chop Chop Manolo — Restaurant in Manolo Fortich

I’ve had the pleasure of dining at numerous Korean restaurants in Manila over the years, but I can confidently say that this one stands out as perhaps the most authentic and memorable Korean dining experience I’ve ever had. As someone who’s always on the lookout for genuine Korean flavors, I was thoroughly impressed by the quality and authenticity of their dishes—the flavors were rich, well-balanced, and true to traditional Korean cooking.

What made the experience even more delightful was how reasonably priced everything was. It’s rare to find a place that serves high-quality, authentic Korean cuisine without the usual premium price tag, and yet this restaurant manages to strike that perfect balance between affordability and excellence.

Another thing that truly stood out was the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the staff. Every member of the team was incredibly attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. What touched me most, however, was seeing the owner herself—who is Korean—personally involved in welcoming guests and even helping to serve food. Her presence and hands-on approach reflect a deep passion and love for her craft, and it’s evident that she takes great pride in sharing a piece of her culture with every customer who walks through the door.

Dining here didn’t just satisfy my craving for Korean food—it made me feel like I was momentarily transported to Korea. It’s an experience I would gladly return to and highly recommend to anyone who values authenticity, great service, and heartfelt...

Who would’ve thought we’d find the best Korean restaurant not in CDO, but in Damilag, Bukidnon?

The beef & pork is high quality, and the tofu in the soup is probably the freshest I’ve ever had. It felt like I was eating a very spicy taho lol.

We’ll definitely come back! A hidden gem like this deserves...

Definately gonna comeback here again, You can really taste real korean food and it really taste good, the service is also good and the servers are pleasant, the owner really connects to the customers. Small thing a really recommend is to put korean music so we can feel the vibe. But...
