Samgyeopmasarap Korean Barbeque — Restaurant in Marikina

The restaurant is located inside SM Marikina. You get a choice of 3 kinds of BBQ. Chicken, beef and pork priced accordingly. The place is cramped. The tables are so close together it gives little room to eat comfortably. Their side dishes aren't that great. Now being s fan of Korean BBQ and enjoy trying new restaurants. This is the first time that I ate at one that used iceberg lettuce. This restaurant has prices slightly higer than most others but won't use romain lettuce but they do provide you with unlimited rice. The cuts of meat are super thin and cook rapidly, so tou have to eat just as fast. They bulgogi flavor is much better than their dry seasoning. The staff are very quick with providing you with refills , even doing so without waiting for you to ask. Which is a good thing. Now the floor is dangerously slippery when wet. I almost fell going to the CR. Drinks aren't unlimited...

Service was pretty slow and honestly there was only two options of meat to choose from. One of the meat was full of fat too. The scallop was alright although I don’t think it’s fresh. That’s to be expected though.

As for the place, the ventilator or whatever you call that was on top of the grill was wrapped in plastic, it wasn’t even sucking in a lot of the smoke since while we were cooking the meat, majority of the smoke just went to our face lol.

Service is slow but at least the staff was nice. I don’t think it’s their fault. I just think they need more staff since there’s so much people not being accommodated immediately. Especially since some people are also ordering the unlimited meat but it takes them a long time to even get it due to multiple customers

All in all, it’s alright for the price. I still...

It was going good at first. The meat sets were good, the portions of the side dishes were big. However, the staff was a mixture of clueless and inattentive (like what the other reviews have mentioned). We once asked to get our stove lit up again (as the fire died) yet it took about 10 whole minutes for someone to attend to us yet when they arrived, it took another minute for them to reach a decision to change the iron pan (they stood by our table the entire duration). We understand that it was lunch hour yet nearly there was no staff during this part.

Not to mention, someone at the cashier scratched their neck with my mother's PWD card, habit or not, the action was...
