Awesome food. Really awesome food. Masarap siya compared sa ibang korean restaurants na nakainan ko. Pricey nga lang. tsaka yung mga crew madami pero onti lang kumikilos .
Its worth the money that I pay for..
From the services thru the food they serve,
Will definitely go back again👍

The price is right para sa quality ng food nila.. And ung manager na nag asikaso smen sobrang bait.. Sobrang nabusog kme and satisfied.. We will definitely comeback..
Love the place and the food was yummy although sad they did not have samgyetang in their menu
Great food. Ok ambiance. Accomodating staff. Excellent experience. Wanna try again:)
good food, good service, good value, over all great dining experience!
Been here few times and will always come by. They have variety of korean dishes not sold in some korean restaurants. I love their barbecue. I find their dishes authentic, maybe that's why they have number of Korean customers too.
Great food & service! Authentic Korean food taste. I loved the Dosirak, Pork Jowl, and of course, the samgyupsal.
Not your ordinary samgyupsal that you already visited. I love their sets of menu. My first time to taste a crunchy Kimchi and the delectable taste of their side dishes. We ordered set of pork and beef and Prime Beef Chopped Steak.
Not your usual eat all you can korean bbq. But I assure you everything here is top quality meat. Everything I tried here were good so far and the staff was friendly and willing to cook everything for you.

Found out about this place while watching Erwan’s YouTube episode on Best Korean Restaurants in Manila with Ryan Bang and Anne Curtis. And since I knew I was going to be in the area on June 22 for the Park Bo Gum Fan Meet in MOA Arena, I made it my agenda to try out this place for late dinner after the fan meet.
Plus points already that the place closes late. There is also (pay) parking in that area, you just have to be patient in looking for a slot or in waiting during peak hours and/or weekends as there are other restaurants sharing the common parking lot.
As soon as we walked in, I was surprised at how “clean” and spacious the place was. I was expecting places described as “authentic” and “legit” Korean restaurants to be crowded and cramped. The place was airconditioned (very well ventilated/ cool temperature inside). Also liked the vibe/ ambience, you feel like you’re in a scene in a Kdrama where you’re eating KBBQ outdoors but you’re actually indoors hehe. They weren’t trying hard either and didn’t play Korean songs or Kdrama soundtracks (although I secretly hoped they did, LOL).
Now on to the food!!! Although we only tried 3 dishes as we were only 2 persons, I must say that I truly enjoyed it. No unlimited KBBQ promos here and that was okay. Super duper enjoyed the Prime Boneless Beef Shortribs which was a bit pricey at ₱1,300 an order but so worth it. I don’t think you’ll find this in any of those popular unli KBBQ promos. The beef was tender and perfectly cooked - oh yah, it was the server who cooked for us (yay!). Although if you wanted to do it yourself, feel free to do so. Eat the beef also right away as they might get overcooked when left long on the grill. Of course I asked for Sesame Oil for my main dipping sauce.
We ordered the marinated pork too, wish we had gone for regular samgyupsal though because although the pork was tasty and tender too, pretty good actually, but reminded me of Pork BBQ as in on a stick - kulang nalang java rice haha!
Then the server suggested we also order the Japchae, I forgot the price, but it was good too. Hard to go wrong with Japchae and this was one of the good ones I’ve had.
Complimentary sides were served too, sauces, greens and egg & corn were cooked on the side of the grill. They were few compared to other restos but pickled radish and oimchi and I’m a satisfied customer. The kimchi was way spicier than what I’m used to though. We also ordered 2 cups of white rice to complete our meal.
Service was quick and staff were friendly, at least the ones who attended to us and asked for feedback on how we found the food, etc.
Would I go back? Definitely when we’re in the area. Far and too traffic to visit on a whim but probably after another event at the MOA Arena, this will be my go-to place for late dinner. Lucky for those who live in the area.
I saw this restaurant in youtube. In the video, Erwann, Anne and Ryan were giving comments about this restaurant. They really liked the food that’s why I wanted to try the food myself.
Upon entering the restaurant, my mom and I immediately ordered bibimpap, thinly sliced beef and pork.
I like that the staff were the ones who grilled the meats for us. They also replaced the sides immediately once we finished it.
Upon tasting the food, I can really say that it is quality. Unlike other places who serve meats with more fat than meat.
I surely told myself I will bring my friends to try this restaurant. Surely worth it!
It was good and has great flavors. It has a good ambiance its good for group celebration and they have a excellent service, and good staff thank you
Discovered this place out of a friend's recommendation. I asked her if she knows a good KBBQ place around MOA and she recommended this restaurant. So we immediately paid a visit.
Ambiance - 3.0/5.0
This is what I did not like about my experience the most. 'Coz the restrooms are not well maintained at all. Really smelly. Also, the tables are not wiped properly.
Service - 4.0/5.0
At first, I was starting to be dissatisfied with the service 'coz it was pretty slow. However, I appreciate it when the staff offered their help to cook for us. That's when the service became faster. Also, this is a stand-out from the other KBBQ houses out there 'coz they have a grill plate for pork and for beef.
Food - 5.0/5.0
They are serving premium meats. Like there is nothing to waste 'coz every part is good. Also, for the price, the sets are affordable 'coz you will eat in a group anyway. The Ramyun is also good!
Even though it is not an "unli" korean bbq resto - the quality of their meats make up for it.
I tried the beef platter, and wow - i was blown away by the quality of the meat.
It was tasty and tender, and didn't taste cheap.
No “unli-samgyupsal” resto would ever defeat this place. Despite being a bit on the pricey side, and service being a bit off, maybe because of the amount of people(koreans mostly) eating here, i would still keep coming back.
Their food taste good, and the fact that they constantly change the grill to a cleaner one for new meat is very nice. Their soups are my favorite. The beef stew is great, i keep forgetting to take photos because i want to eat immediately.
good korean restaurant within the mall of asia complex. it's a bit pricier compared with the kbbq restaurants in malate/ermita area but it's a great choice when you're in MOA area. I'm more of a beef person than pork samgyupsal so I just ordered beef for grilling. the meat is good and comes with unli sides. our waiter, arvin, is very commendable as he ensures that we get all we need and our meat is cooked perfectly despite attending to many tables that time. they also constantly change the grill so there won't be a bitter burnt taste in your meat. i also love how they steam the egg on the side of your grill. side dishes also taste delicious

Overall it is good. The pork meat is so tasty and the kimchi stew is delicious. I like the spice of the side dishes and they are complementing with the meat. I love the marinated meat. It has good flavor. The only thing i dont like is that they cooked it themselves. Me, personally, would like to experience grilling the meat myself before eating it. I recommend this for pork lovers.
Love this authentic Korean BBQ place. I always feel like I'm in Seoul when I eat here. The beef set was really good and worth it. Meat was so tender and the kimchi stew was sooo good.
We had our dinner here and I really liked the ambience of this place. Staff were so welcoming and accomodating. Sitting like king and queen while the staff did all the grilling. I personally liked the cheese on the side of the specialty grill. Too bad it was not refillable. The price is a little bit higher compare with other samgyupsal but the experience was all worth it.
Highly recommended!
Best Korean barbeque place I’ve tried so far! Their marinated skirt meat and thinly sliced pork belly were so tender and flavorful! The side dishes and sauces were also delicious. Their steamed egg is worth a try. The servers were quite attentive; they were the ones grilling the meat for us. It took a while for food to come out but it was worth it.
Everything’s good. The server was polite. The kimchi was good also. We will definitely comeback. I made 4 stars coz it’s a little bit pricey hoping that they will somehow lower the price. All in all, it’s great :)
I will definitely be coming back! The place was great, the staff’s were very accommodating and their food was daebak! I love it even though they’re fully booked and yet somehow their staff’s manage to accommodate us properly
This is good for those who wants to try out their first samgyupsal. Though it's a bit pricey if you compared it with other korean restaurant that offers unlimited samgyupsal. The pork samgyupsal is good and the cheese with corn in the sides. It also offers a limited sidedish. I think they also offer unlimited samgyupsal at around 11pm to 3am.
Our go to Korean resto!!!
Never disappoint everytime we visit.
Dining area is spacious and well kept.
Service was very good, fast, attentive crews.
Food is excellent!!!
Personal fave - thinly sliced pork, chili marinated beef and spicy ramen 😊
A bit pricey but the food tastes really good! We had assorted beef and ramyun and bc it was too delicious, we couldnt help but add another order of pork and beef! Definitely a must try!
Expensive but Worth it!
We end up eating here because Yakimix is about to close at that time. The staff let us in despite that they're still closed, I'm very thankful for that coz we're really, really hungry at that time.
We ordered the assorted beef, chilli marinated pork belly, ramen, rice and a bottomless iced tea. It includes a variety of side dishes (refillable).
The quality of the meat is fantastic, it's well marinated. It's so tender and juicy it melts with your mouth. If you have a budget, this is a place for you.
The staff will cook the meat for you, it serves with egg and cheese on the side. You'll end up satisfied!
Kinda pricey but it’s worth it. The staff were the ones who will grill the meat for u 😅 Good place with great food ☺️☺️☺️👍🏻 그것은 맛있다 ☺️☺️☺️
I’m glad that I was able to try the 678 Korean Restau near my workplace. The place is big and can accommodate 4-6 persons per table.
I love the food and their meat. I have ordered their Assorted pork for 950php and not bad. It tastes delish! And good thing about this Korean house is they offer unlimited samgyupsal from 11pm to 3am for only 600php/person.
The service was okay. And they’ll grill the pork for you. Awesome finds! 💯
One of the best authentic korean dishes in the heart of Manila. Everything if first time. Gotta feel that you're really dining in Korea❣️ Legit 👌🏻
I love the Marinated meat , beef and pork all delicious,the beef is super juicy and tasted good,fresh. Highly recommend 678 to my fren, high bbq skill and warm staff for service,nice drink for green mango shake.
if you are looking for a place where quality and comfort are present. this is the place to be. this restaurant offers authentic korean barbeque experience without the expense of smelling smoked.
The food was good but didnt stand out, the place and consept was nice, the staffs are very accomodating since they are grilling ur meat for u though they are not very informative in terms of menu, but the food are way to pricey with a small amount better eat a korean buffet where u can also eat the same food.
But its worth the try, bty their water melon and pineapple shake where awesome....
Food is really great!
Very accomodating and friendly staff. We came in an hour before they were about to close, and we were the last one to leave. What kinda irked me is that the staff lingers near the tables. Maybe it was necessary because they were the one cooking the meat,but it was a little awkward. Overall, good experience! Hope the buffet is more affordable though
My favorite Korean restaurant now! The food are definitely worth the price. Also one of the few restaurants with dosirak and makgeolli in there menu so plus points. Their Korean playlist is really good!
✔️ - Accomodating staff
✔️ - price is reasonable
✔️ - tender marinated pork
✔️ - delicious kimchi and ramen
✖️ - small cockroach on top of table
✖️ - the room temperature is hot
The place was very nice because it preserves the korean culture esp the utensils that koreans usually use. The crews are very accomodating, the service was also fast and smooth. And the food is fresh and beyond finest.
I love the unlimited side dishes and the staffs, though you need to change shirt after because of the smoke. The servings are enough for big appetite. Recommended for families, group of friends and colleagues. 😊
☑ Nice place
☑ Delicious food
☑ Very acommodating crew
☑ Nice ventilation
❌ Unclean utensils (sticky chopstics and spoons)
☑ Quiet and beautiful ambiance

It was satisfactory, I loved that the crew were really helpful. They provided suggestions on which food item to try, they helped with grilling the meat, and were very cheerful while doing all these.
I'll be back because of the people working there 🙂
A testament to the authenticity of the dishes here. You will surely enjoy grilling your meat in their charcoal griller. I love the quality of their meats. Great food, service and ventilation. Highly recommended ❤️
food price is affordable.. i love their corn and cheese sidedish.. wish to have it refilled.
their kimchi sidedish is perfect and i can say the most delicious of all the korean restaurants ive tasted.
ordered for aasorted pork
and their kimchi rice with cheese is so tasty. 😊
Their grilled beef was my favorite - it was thinly sliced and you can literally see how it folds into strips of awesomeness. Sides are so-so (because we really love jjiggae) and their customer service can do better (maybe because we arrived there before closing time so the crew members were tired). Seafood sundubu jjiggae tasted like something that is not jiggae. I think the shrimp overpowered the soup.

Ate here last time after watching the last Pyromusical show☺️ Wasn't planning to eat here first but since we thought it would be troublesome to commute from MOA to Malate, we chose to dine here. Ate here around 1am because of the availability of the tables. Since it was a Saturday and an event just finished, the place was fully booked😅 Buuuut to cut everything short~ The place was nice! It was simple but I think it was somehow the style of korean grill beside the streets of Korea😂 (or I watched too many koreanovelas?) The staffs were all nice and attentive. As for the food, side dish was good also, though we didn't eat everything (picky eaters) I was a bit shocked by their steamed egg, didn't expect it would be that way tho😜 but it was okay. As for the meat, we ordered their pork set. It was good but some parts of it was fatty😅 Hope they would serve less fatty type of pork. The marinated pork was delicious tho. My ate girl enjoyed it lol😂 All in all, it was a good experience! We'll come back if we have the chance (& the budget) to come back💕
We ordered their Seafood Pancake, their Prime Rib Eye, and their Marinated Beef Rib Eye. They have this rule that you need to order two sets of meat dishes, whether it's two beef dishes, or one pork & one beef dish. Plus they have really good side dishes and sauces that complement the beef, or anything they offer, really well.
Their wait staff are really funny and friendly too!!!! I even remember one waiter coming up to me to ask what the song was playing on their radio. I think they made that particular food experience more memorable than it already was.
Have a happy food trip!!!!! :))

Birthday kbbq!! We weren't meant supposed to go looking for a Korean restaurant but as fate would have it, this was just in the area.
The atmosphere in this place is actually pretty nice, and I like the setting. I like that you're close to the grill, although the set-up doesn't have much room, especially if you're going to order a lot of food (like we did). The sides are also refillable, and their salad is a nice accompaniment since it gets rid of "umay"
Our bill totaled just a bit above 2,000 and I thought it was a good price for everything that we ate. We got the pork set, kimchi jjigae, ramyun, bokkeumbap and around 5 bowls of rice on top of that. We managed to wipe out everything.
My favorite part of the meal is the kimchi jjigae and the marinated pork (bok joo would be ashamed, I forgot the part? Only that it was soft and very very yummy once grilled). Just don't forget about the steamed eggs and cheese on the side of the grill because they could get burnt.
This restaurant is also owned by a Korean celebrity (kang hodong), so I'm wondering if there will be any other celebrity-owned restaurants coming our way soon?? (Makchang places soon please!! Coffee shops please!!)

First time to eat in this restaurant and oh! first time ever to eat in a korean restaurant. Here's what I've noticed:
Service:
- not so good for me. We ordered the Assorted Pork (Fresh cut of pork belly
, Pork jowl cut
and Marinated Skirtmeat) then after 20 minutes a staff informed us that the Assorted Pork is not available. Take note, the staff mentioned it while we are starting to eat the side dishes. Like, we have no choice to look for other restaurant. Anyhow, we didn't mind it and just ordered the fresh cut of pork belly only.
- staff helped us to grilled the pork belly - it's a thumbs up! Good service. But the bad thing here is, me and my friends are telling some jokes and out of nowhere, the staff tell a jokes which made me pissed off. Like "hello, i'm not talking to you dear".
Place:
- place is so spacious
- very Korean style
Food:
- very authentic Korean food
- unlimited side dishes and 2 set of servings of scrambled egg, mozarella cheese with corn and mixed vegetable which makes the price more worth it
- they gave us one free pitcher of cold rice tea. it tastes good, it's refreshing. it's my first time to try it.
- and the kimchi!!! thumbs up!!!
Comment me back about your experience in this restaurant! :)
And oh, visit my blogsite for more food reviews: stylemugger.com
it's been my second time around and i think it just keeps having me addicted to their beef set menus. their side dishes are really worth it, at the same time the rice is really cheap so you never have to worry about ordering extra rice.
Tasted their food first in NY. Didn't know they have a branch here in PH until last 2 months ago. The meat was as good as the one in NY. Marbled, tasty and very tender. The soup, not so much. But it was still okay. Side dishes are really good too. The pork belly I think is better here though. Small disappointment, I was used to their corn and cheese melted by the side of the griller but I guess they have a different kind of griller here. But all in all, the food was very good! If you want legit Korean samgyeopsal and beef, go here.
We went here as a test run to find a good and reasonable Korean Reston in MOA. Great authentic decor and friendly staff who made great recommendations. Ample portions and authentic flavors, this beats anything else around in MOA complex. The only comment was that on the Bibimbap had cold rice and it is normally warm and crisp. Great Kimchi and the free flow barley tea was a nice touch. Authentic decor and was surprised to hear it was franchise. Great job

We had dinner here after attending a convention in SMX. Upon entering, the place made me feel like I'm in a local Korean dining place. It has that typical Asian feel, which was classy yet homey too. For samgyupsal you need to order at least a pair of meat so we went for beef finger meat and chili pork belly. I thought we ordered too little but nope, we got full even before we're done with the beef. It was heavy! Add the fact that all the side dishes are for free - and they have a good variety of it. We appreciate the staff who were very alert with what the customers need. Aside from the good meat, they had this egg side dish which gets steamed on the side of the barbecue grill. It was yummy too! When paired with what I think is sushi sauce, it tastes awesome. Too bad it wasn't bottomless though. Good news too that they have this unlimited samgyupsal (good meat, I promise!) for just P500 (I think) around midnight. The only downside is, like any quality restaurant, you will need to prepare your budget when going here if you plan to with their ala carte items.

So after the 37th Manila International Book Fair, my boyfriend and I decided to have our late lunch at 678 Korean BBQ but before heading there we read some reviews about the prices and also the food, some of the food enthusiasts said that they consider this Korean resto as one of their top choices when it comes to Korean BBQ.
There are few customers that time maybe because it is lunch time. The staffs are very accommodating 👍🏻👍🏻 We're a bit shock because the prices on the menu increased (a P100 difference compared to the reviews we read)
We chose the set menu for assorted pork (P950)
- Fresh cut of pork belly
- Pork jowl cut
- Marinated Skirtmeat
And we also ordered Tteokbokki (P600/ good for two) and rice (P50)
So while waiting for our orders, the waiter gave us barley water (I used to drink barley tea so I'm definitely loving it)
The Verdict:
Tteokbokki - we cannot even finish it because it is really huge, good for 4 I think?
Samgyupsal - what more can I say? the best so far their pork cuts are really thick so I can say that the price really suits the quality of the food.
From the outside, 678 looks like a legit Korean restaurant (and oh, there's a standee of Kang Ho Dong to guide your way 😉). We were the first customers when we entered so I noticed that it's quite spacious and the interior looks like Korean restaurants seen from Korean dramas.
We ordered the P850 assorted pork in their menu. It wasn't what you can call "sulit" (well, for me at least) because they serve 3 kinds of pork which contains 100 grams each only. We were actually expecting more servings but, oh well. The pork tastes okay, the staff was the one who grilled them. What I liked was the variation of their side dishes, there's a scrambled egg, corn, veggies, leeks, anchovies and fish cake. They also serve lettuce wraps along with the many side dishes.
I wouldn't go back here for their grilled meat since it's a bit pricey and not sulit. But maybe we'll try their other dishes the next time we visit here. 😊
This restaurant have unlimited side dishes. Yes its expensive but super sulit and you'll feel na youre in korea hahaha 😊Dont eat here alone !
First time here and we love it. Their place is spacious and they open until 3 AM. I noticed they have this ALL YOU CAN EAT promo for their PORK BELLY on midnight. Do check it out if you have the time.
Had their ASSORTED PORK menu set for PHP 850. Really like their pork belly.
Also, their staffs were friendly and attentive. They helped us grill & cut our meat until perfection. Many many thanks!
One of the best Korean Restaus I have tried. I absolutely loved everything that was served to us. First of, the appetizers were all so good, especially their Kimchi. We were also served with a cold tea which actually compliments and tones down the flavor and spicyness of their food. We ordered their Assorted Pork Cuts. Each item's disctinct and flavorful. Many thanks to the staff attending to us, he grilled the cuts perfectly. We also ordered their Kimchi Stew, by far the best one I've tasted!
Celebrated here my 21st birthday w/ a friend and special someone! The place is good! I really like their chilli marinated pork belly cut. And their unli veggie too! Hehehe.
Been very curious about this Korean resto since they say it's really good. The ambiance is nice but it was very hot, maybe it was because only few people we're dining in that time but stil.... we're customers. The pork belly is kind of off because it's very thick. The tteokboki is quite good (didn't have a picture) and it's plentiful. Slow service tbrh :(

It was fresh and tasty!
They serve appetizers like kimchi. :)
They even have unlimited vegetable "repolyo" wrap!
I just wish that it is more faster to cook.. hehe! :D
In addition to that, they serve you and let you relax that they will do the grilling and cooking. No hassle! Cool isn't it?
Lastly, they have the human size standee of gangnam style psy! ^_^
Third on my list of best Korean restaurans I have tried so far (next to Yoree and KogiBulgogi). A bit pricey but worth it. You will surely feel The Korean aura the moment you eat here as I have observed, a lot of Koreans are eating . Generous servings, nice service, good ventilation and spicy foods! Haha.
4.5!!!! This is the first time I've been to something like this, I mean this place replicates and gives me the feels of a common Korean BBQ place similar to what I see in Korean movies and series. The overall ambience and concept of this place deserve a point.
I gave a high rating because the food definitely tastes good, and is quiet overwhelming. The side dishes alone filled our table. We ordered the pork belly, seafood soft tofu soup (which is a must try), fried mandu and beef bulgogi soup.
Must try the seafood tofu soup, so spicy i love the eggs that was cooked beside my marinated beef strips ,,, egg is for free and you can ask the attendant for that
A little bit pricey compared to yedang but it is a must try for a change ..
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
:) Good to great dishes:
+ Beef short ribs, 5/5 (both the marinated and the plain version were really tender and juicy)
+ Seafood soft tofu stew, 4.5/5 (spicy kimchi stew with seafood and tofu; loved the vegetarian fried rice that comes with it)
+ Kimchi stew, 4/5 (nice, but I preferred the seafood tofu stew)
+ Free corn with melted cheese, 3/5 (with 1 refill)
+ Free refillable salads and kimchi, 3/5
:( Not so great dishes:
- Free steamed egg, 1/5 (Weird consistency, seems too dense and dry; with 1 refill)
- Ramen, 0/5 (Despite the spicy broth, it's as if it's flavorless. For P180, just stay home and eat instant noodles.)
Pros about the place and service:
+ Refreshing service tea was nice during 2 out of 3 visits
+ Plenty of tables
+ They cook the meat for you
+ Good service during 2 out of 3 visits.
+ Efficient exhaust system. You can hardly inhale the smoke.
Cons about the place and service:
- Inconsistent service. Only on our 2nd visit were we informed that the steamed egg and corn dishes can be refilled. During my most recent visit, our waiter appeared bored, hardly smiled, and answered us with 1-3 word answers. Didn't even give us moist towelettes until we asked for them.
- Service "tea" was pretty much just water with a hint of color the last visit.
- Very warm. Their air-conditioning is inadequate whether it's lunch or dinner.
Their style of grilling and appetizers are quite different from the likes of Hanuri and Jang ga nae but you'll enjoy the change in routine. I like that they have free tea and their serving portions. The korean ladies attending to your seating are really nice as well.
I can say that their service is great. The waitress is very attentive. There is one person assigned to your table to check if the meat is already cooked or not. The quality of the meat is good but the price is a little bit pricey. For spicy lovers, this place is for you as most of their food are spicy.
