Larich Korean Grill House — Restaurant in San Juan

I recently found out that the owner may not be entirely transparent with customers. When I asked the staff about the owner’s nationality, they told me he is Chinese — which, of course, is not an issue in itself. However, I noticed that in the review section, the owner seems dismissive of feedback from actual Koreans. There are even comments implying that some Korean customers haven’t truly experienced “real” Korean food .which feels quite disrespectful, especially since we are Korean and very familiar with our own cuisine.

Here’s a gentle suggestion for the owner: in Korea, especially at grilling restaurants, it’s uncommon to use powdered seasoning like the one served here with samgyupsal. Multiple Korean reviewers have pointed this out, and their feedback reflects the authentic taste and practices of Korean cuisine.

I completely understand that Korean food can be learned and interpreted differently. Still, I hope you can stay open to constructive suggestions, especially from native Koreans. This isn’t meant to criticize harshly .just a friendly note from someone who genuinely wants this place to improve and better represent the cuisine it’s aiming to...

the food is OVERPRICED. STAY AWAY. IM NOT EVEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE MEAT DISHES. THE PACKAGES THAT THEY HAVE ARE RIDICULOUS. THERE ARE NO FREE SIDE DISHES OR REFILLS. WHAT YOU SEE IN THIS PHOTO IS WHAT YOU GET FOR ALMOST PHP1000. AND THE SUPPOSED OWNER KEEPS

TELLING PEOPLE THAT HIS SEASONINGS ARE IMPORTED . BUT UNLESS I'M EATING GOLD FLAKES I CANNOT SEE WHY THEY OVER PRICE THEIR SIDE DISHES. ALSO THIS GUYS KEEPS TELLING PEOPLE IN THE REVIEWS TO TELL IT TO HIS FACE..NO SANE PERSON WOULD DO THAT. NOBODY WANTS A USELESS CONFRONTATION WITH YOU. AND REVIEW ARE NECESSARY TO WARN PEOPLE OF BAD BUSINESSES LIKE YOURS. YOUR PRICESS ARE OVERINFLATED THAT ONLY PEOPLE WITH BIG POCKETS CAN GO THERE (NOT THAT THE FOOD IS GREAT TO BEGIN WITH.) BUT THAT MAYBE YOUR POINT TO HAVE ONLY RICH FOREIGNERS IN YOUR...

We got there and my girlfriend didn't get decent service from the waitress, almost as if she was ignored. I, however, received excellent service. My girlfriend got squirted in the eye with cooking oil from the same waitress (who tried to deny it). Then we were shorted on one of the items we ordered on the menu (same waitress insisted we ordered a different group of meats/entrees) .

The food was mediocre, but the homemade kimchi was not good tasting, and the waitress didn't know anything about what she was serving. There was no rice served with the meal (Korean food always has rice accompanied with food, plus we are in the Phillipines). The lettuce was not Asian lettuce used for samgyopsal and there wasn't enough of it.

Great potential for a restaurant, but lacks the...
