Romantic Baboy San Pablo — Restaurant in San Pablo

Lynderson Arcade has ample parking so it's easy to get there and park but it usually gets full on occasion.

For Romantic Baboy or RomBab, as some would say, would be one of the most decent korean bbq places here in San Pablo. It's fairly accessible since it's closest to Maharlika Highway.

It has a good amount of meat choices just like every other branch. What we love the most here are the beef options. They're no premium slices but they're good enough for a good time to enjoy with people. They increased their prices by 50 pesos due to inflation or so. They also do provide a glass of soft drinks for extra and sometimes, unli-iced tea or cucumber lemonade might be available. Sides vary from limited to bountiful at times but they are usually consistent with their kimchi, japchae, lettuce, and sweet potatoes.

Service is pretty good. There are days where they do get your requests and orders quickly while some busy days really do pressure them so you can't really expect good service during the rush hours.

I, however, am not a fan of the public restrooms so you may want to try to buy at the nearest coffee shop behind.

Overall, it's a good place to dine with family. They don't accept reservations (anymore) but they do accept walk-ins. We usually go there on special occasions, so we'll...

Service is pretty good.

Atmosphere-wise, it sounds like they have a single playlist short enough that you can hear it loop or shuffle. Coincidentally, they don't play Kpop songs like what other establishments do. The place is clean and maintained, however, they do not have their own toilet, you need to use the public restrooms which is just next to the stairs.

I messaged them to inquire about their pet-friendly policy but received no response. Nevertheless, we arrived promptly at 11 am, their advertised opening time, only to find the store still closed with chairs and tables in disarray. After waiting outside for a few minutes, they informed us that we couldn't bring our small Shih Tzu inside, despite no other customers present. We tried to insist, given the extreme 30-40 degree weather outside. Would you leave your baby out in that heat? We chose not to dine there due to their lack of empathy and failure to apologize. Their staff's behavior, including laughter and teasing from inside, was emblematic of terrible...
