Mr. Korea BBQ — Restaurant in Pasig

This is a new location for this restaurant. They have a couple more locations. This is just another copy cat business hopping to benefit off the popularity of Korean BBQ. Where to start. They offer 15 types of seasoned meats strictly Pork and Beef,unlimited drinks which there are 5 flavors. Also unlimited hotpot. The drinks have no real taste to them. They are just a little more than just colored water. Lemon iced tea, cucumber lemonade aide, blue lemonade, mango juice and water. The lemonade flavors had no lemon flavor at all. Non of the drinks were truly sweet or taste like what they were supposed to be. Well except the water. Oh the drinks were self service. The ice bucket was right behind acwoman whose hair was practically in the ice bucket. The meats were simply flavored. Only the bulgogi was enjoyable. Surprisingly the hot pot was the best that they had. The broth was nicely seasoned and the ingredients were just right. They packed in too many tables for the size of the restaurant. Very crowded and cramped. Of course the long wait to be seated but that will change after a couple of months. Service was very slow. Most of the wait staff grasped any chance to talk and joke amongst themselves. They have fire extinguishers in the restaurant but you wouldn't know this because they have no signage saying their location. They bast music forcing people to talk over the sound of it. It wasn't very enjoyable well except...

I’m quite surprised to see the very low ratings for such an under-rated Korean Bbq Restaurant. It was honestly my first time to try this as I am always wary with all the other bbq restaurants that don’t really give you your money’s worth - but Mr Korea completely does!

For P798 per head (and that’s a weekend rate) you have your fill of the following:

15 types of pork 15 types of beef Chicken Seafood Platter And Shabu Shabu!

To top it all off - I loved every single dish! From the generous and well flavored side dishes to the meats and even the soup broth … I am a fan already🤗🤗

Drinks were also well stocked and unlimited with your choice of Lemon Iced Tea, Cucumber Lemonade and Blue Lemonade (this one was my favorite)👍🏻

Service was overall great with the service team working extra hard to make sure your refills are served efficiently and alwAys with a smile on their faces.

Just had to take out one star from my overall review because improvements can be done on overall cleanliness. Apart from that - I highly recommend Mr.Korea at Ayala...

Meats: their meat are just a plain meat. They just rolled the meat and put some (not enough) sauce on top of it. Once you grilled the meat, it's tasteless. Very disappointing meats.

Service: their service are very poor. We do not know what's happening in the kitchen, but we realized that it was hard to get their attention, most of the crews are staying in the kitchen. Sometimes, we are raising our hand to the manager so that the manager can get our orders BUT the manager is also incompetent. We never received any of our orders from their manager. So we have no choice to but call someone from the restaurant to prepare our orders. It's very frustrating, you need constant follow up for your orders.

Utensils: utensils are very limited. No fork, no extra plate, etc.

Side Dishes: incompetent side dishes. Very disappointing.

Overall, it would be better if you pay P200 more in Tong Yang, instead of paying P549 from this very...
