I have been to this place several times . The last time was last week with a group of Asian classmates and friends. One of our Vietnamese friends was craving for Korean food and we were pointed to this place by another Korean restaurant staff since their place was full.
I was happy to bring my friends here since I am familiar with the resto and I especially like that they have a lot of side dish, especially my favorite kimchi. There were eleven of us and one is a vegan. The others ordered pork to be grilled. I love the paste that go with this, beancurd and sesame seeds. It goes very well with the meat wrapped in lettuce leaves. However, I dont eat pork so I settle for the beef soup with vermicilli and mushroom. Of course, I ate a lot of the kimchi side dish. My friends can't seem to get enough of it. My Burmese friend ordered a kimchi take out which prompted the others to do the same. A kilo of kimchi I think is only 250 pesos.
If you are with friends and want to chill out with live music, you can wait until 8PM for the performance to start at its roof deck garden.
I think my friends left satisfied with a happy stomach that night. Even our vegan friend found something filling to eat which is not always the case for her. Good food and good company always go well together:-)
Bulgogi is very easy to spot. It is just infront Puregold Kalayaan. And if you and your friends want to while away the night singing, it is just near one of the Karaoke bars in Matalino St., which what my friends did that night.
Thank you for the attentive staff of Bulgogi who responded quickly with our request for more kimchi :-) I was afraid that we polished off your kimchi supply for...

The worst samgyupsal experience I had. First, the price is comparable to other Korean places but they only serve unli pork, no beef. Second, service was excruciatingly slow. The attendants are not that attentive. Even when we were already paying the bill, when the cash was handed, the server didn't even bother to count the bills. It's very difficult to have your refills -- the side dishes are usually out of stock and the servers are very hard to call! Tipong sisigaw ka pa to get noticed. And this restaurant is violating RA 10754 - they don't give discounts to PWDs. Why? Kasi promo na daw yung unli samgyupsal price nila -- e sa ibang samgyupsal places na kapresyo lang nila, I do enjoy PWD discounts. Sayang ang libu-libong ginastos namin ng...
Read moreTrying out this new trend where you shop from a Korean mart then cook it yourself on the spot then eat it. What makes it interesting is you can buy different types of toppings as many as you like. In the end, you are supposed to have a recipe as unique as you. I think I was able to achieve this. See pictures for reference. For first timers, pls make sure to ask kuya how to operate their equipment. I also suggest that you get the ramen with soup so you can add more toppings as you have limited options for dry ramen. Next, while cooking, make sure to monitor and add water as needed. I had to add maybe a cup of water more because I placed so many toppings. Toppings should be submerged so they are cooked evenly. I will definitely be coming back here to experiment with...
