Reviews Tong Keun So

THE BEST INTERIOR VERY SOPHISTICATED EVEN THE FOOD. REALLY AUTHENTIC AND HIGH QUALITY.

EVERYONE MUST TRY CHUNGDAM!!! THE BEST HIGH-END KOREAN RESTAURANT. WORTH THE MONEY

I love the interior of this restaurant. It is simple but elegant. They serve authentic and premium quality beef and their side dishes are the best. Worth the value of money since it is premium quality. Must try!!!

My friends and I always eat at this restaurant, it's one of the best korean restaurant in Malate. I always liked their beef because it was juicy, all of their side dishes were so delicious. Staff was kind and attentive too. 👍🏻☺️

A great value Korean barbecue place. The reason to go here is definitely the quality of the meat, they have prime meat here and it's definitely better than the beef you could get at a lot of places. Their prices are reasonable, you can get a set for 1190 that's enough for 3 or would make 2 really full. The sides are pretty good, and their service is pretty great.

All in all, definitely one of the better Korean barbecue places I've been to, criminally underrated. Parking can be a hassle, but it's worth it.

In our many months of writing down reviews here in the Team Glasses Food Blog, we finally had a chance to eat at a Korean restaurant. And all of this due to a last minute change of plans when my dad arrived from Davao, a day before his birthday. To celebrate, we ended up at Remedios Circle in Malate and picked a place called Tong Keun So. For the frugal person my dad is, the signage displaying the PHP 990 for the Tong Keun So Hanmari (which consisted of rib finger, prime chuck eye roll, and brisket point) was enough to seal the deal.

We love this place. I've been here a few times and come out full and satisfied each time. The place is always packed with Koreans which is always a good sign. We get the 990 beef set, which, for two people, is more than enough. The beef is not the best quality but really good for the price - tastes great and all the sauces and other free accompanying dishes that come with it are really good. I particularly love the spicy tofu soup, spicy salad and egg soufflé. Try this place whenever you're in Malate.

Really, really had a good time in here during an early lunch with my friends. The cuts of beef are nice, comparably thick and juicy. The side dishes are plenty (My favorite: steamed egg and spicy kimchi). Vegetables are fresh. Cold noodles is refreshing. Everything is just yummy and heart-warming that I'll consider TKS as my second KBBQ fix destination from now on.

I've been eyeing on this restaurant for a month and just last Friday, March 10, my friends and I finally decided to dine here. Among the many restaurants I'd checked in Malate for Korean food, Tong Keun So in Big Bang [?] stood out!
#1, They don't charge for their service which means no surprising additional fees other than what I order in the menu lol;
#2, Food are not those I consider to be that pricey since you can order meals with your Php350(ish) for a restaurant as fancy as this;
#3,  Staff were very much attentive haha I loved them! We could joke around them that I find amusing;
#4, The location is supeeerb. I love how it's on the second storey, allowing customers to enjoy the view in Adriatico x Remedios (the round thing chenelyn). The restaurant also didn't feel too formal compared to other restaurants. It's a happy place full of people who mind their own businesses--my thing! What also made me love the place is how they have the usual table and chair set-up, but they also had Korean floor tables that felt like home.
#5, I've no complaints when it comes to food taste and serving. Our food generously filled five happy tummies!
#6, The restaurant's open 21 hours, and for a person like myself who stays out late ( a lot ), that's an A++.
#7, They have a smoking area outside the restaurant on the same floor and a bar / 'beer garden' on the 3rd floor.
#8, Electrical outlet's available for charging.

We ordered 2 sets of Samgeopsal that I highly recommend! Side dishes are refillable although not unlimited. I loved their soup (idk what it's called), kimchi, and most especially, their drinks! Their fruit shakes are by far the best I ever tasted, not to mention the serving amount which makes it worth the price of Php160! We ordered Strawberry and Kiwi fruit shakes. I've yet to taste the rest (Watermelon, Mango, Apple).

I'd give the restaurant a 5.0 if they kept the place cleaner and more presentable. It's already good, but I hope they get to maintain the floors and tables clean esp. the food they offer are a little too oily. I believe your mop and brooms should be kept in the storage room, not seen around the dining area (beside our table haha). I'm definitely coming back, nonetheless! =))
