We've never actually dined in at The Cook, but we ordered in for delivery and were not disappointed by what we got.
The pork steak salad with kimchi pilaf set easily fed a crowd of seven, and the tteokbokki was a pleasant surprise. I expected rice cakes simply tossed in a rich and peppery sauce, but got a good and spicy stew loaded not only with said rice cakes, but also with fish cake, sausage, and cheese.
My only real concern was that dishes weren't labeled and not all were packed in clear tubs, so I had to pop open the opaque covers of the paper bowls just to check which was which.
I regret, though, that I didn't order dessert; but, perhaps, when we get to dine in again, I'll do just that.
Food is great as well as the staff.
Staff are nice and polite. Always smiling.
we ordered their set A menu, with the salad and pasta. really liked both, especially the salad. wish they'd make the portions bigger for the price. also i know their tteokbokki's from Cafe Seolhwa, but that might be my fave dish. i just love tteokbokki so much lol (plus with the fried fritters, it was a match made in heaven! 😍💖💕) (make the fried fritters bigger in portion too pls!!)
suggestion: might you add kimbap in the future... it will go well with the tteokbokki (also korean style fried chicken!)
This is a contemporary Korean-Italian restaurant.
Food is good but on the expensive side. Service is okay.
Ordered their white tomato spaghetti, which is served in a huge bowl with the pasta covered in white cream. It's delicious though I find the sauce too thin as it doesn't stick to the pasta. My boyfriend loves it though.
Pork pilaf was good too but a bit underwhelming if this is all you have in the table so best order other dishes to go with it.
We also had their mango cheese bingsu, which is their bestseller. I like the sweetened mangoes in the middle.
For these 3 orders we paid about P1700 including service charge. So again, good food but will probably go back here again only on special occasions because I feel that that amount can buy much more elsewhere.
Love the food here! Specially the Kimchi Rice! Super love the spicy addictive taste. Original chicken salad was also great. Liked the Tomato Seafood Pasta too, a bit similar to Don Henrico’s Marinara.
Great for Groups
Pasta, rice & salad meals are great for sharing. So far, they’ve been consistent in serving good food. Then, wind up the meal with a bingsu dessert.
I hope they add smaller food options in their menu for solo diners.

an italian-korean food that makes it different from others. it was a nice dining experience because the service and food is good. Also, don't forget to try their bingsu.
This restaurant is a fusion of Italian-Korean cuisine. We took advantage of the Metrodeal voucher and we were surprised of the taste. No wonder customers are queing outside because it is worth the wait. Forgot to take a photo of the bingsu that we ordered because we digged into it right away.. lol. We will come back for sure.
A relatively new place in festival mall, we ordered the family set meal complete with three main courses, pizza and 2 pitchers of iced tea (all delicious and servings are very generous). There are a lot that can be improved in terms of service (a bit slow and inattentive to the needs of the customer). Overall a pleasant experience.
