Affordable korean food buffet with all the meat you can eat.
The place is very big and clean. Went there on a Friday, noon, there werent much people and the place did not feel like a meat smoking house. The selection was pretty basic-- rice, some meat, korean fried chicken, korean egg roll, gyoza and a bit of maki rolls. It wasn't wow, but it tasted good. The cuts on the meat they give was thicker compared to other unlimited korean bbq places.
Overall, had a good experience here. Didnt come out smelling like bbq, and for the price youre paying, definitely get your money's worth.
Unlimited samgyupsal and side dishes at an affordable price. You can get at their buffet the side dishes though the are a bit cold. And the place looks old.
A friend who has been here before brought me here along with a few more of our friends. They were bragging how amazing the food was in here and damn they were right. There was a lot to choose from and staff were very courteous. One thing tho is that its a bit hot.
We've spent my daughter's birthday here last couple of weeks ago.. as I can say the ambiance are great same with the varieties of food. Selection of meats are good too even the service yet failed on spree for celebrant. My daughter's somehow expectin a greetings or perks from them since it was actually her born date that day. Maybe could add gimmicks to uplift the good vibes.. considering everything seems great on ur resto! Aja
A good place if you are looking for satisfying Korean buffet. Savouring dishes and truly satisfying menu is waiting for you at Lee Hak. Will definitely go back for more😁😁😁😁😁
“You get your money's worth", this phrase would describe our experience with Lee Hak Korean Restaurant.
The rate of Php399 is very enticing, especially for a buffet restaurant. But as they say, a cheap rate often comes with a cheap customer service. Sadly, we had to bare with all the crappy discussions with their restaurant manager because we had no choice but to continue our reservation since we only had a few days left before the event.
A rainy Friday midmorning after our shift but it was the 28th of December and we’ve been planning a lunchout for like ages, having it postponed for another week might end it like those plans that only happened in a group chat in FB messenger. So despite the drizzly weather, we gave it a go. Choosing where to dine was not a difficult discussion. We’ve been talking it for weeks, to feast on samgyeopsal and other Korean dishes in a buffet setting. So we easily agreed on the most convenient route – Lee Hak Buffet in Kapitolyo, a convenient destination for us since it is closer to Mandaluyong. The girls were so insistent to let me gorge pork! Oh God!
So many food choices! In other Korean restos, they only offer samgyupsal but here in Lee Hak, they also serve other food choices. Be sure to book a table first before going here because the place really gets full especially during dinner time.
Gave 4 stars only. We love the unli BBQ but the place is kinda smelly, it's too hot inside, and very crowded.
It's our 3rd time eating here. The staff when we last visited here were not so nice. They're rushing us to pay, as if we have nothing to pay them. Also, when we ordered soju, it took several minutes before they brought it to us. Like she came to our table with the soju, then we waited for another several minutes to have the shot glasses that smells like cockroaches.
The food tastes jusk ok for its price and there's a lot to choose from.
Was able to visit this place last December 1 as I was looking for a good place to eat. Thank God, they allow solo-eaters like me so I just focused on grilling my own meat.
Food was good enough though it was like eating under time pressure since I need to consume as much as I could in two hours so medyo bitin nga lang sa oras even if kaya pa ng 1-2 more rounds (did 3 rounds of grilling).
Anyway, I hope I'd be able to visit this place again. ^_^
We enjoyed eating here again. Recommendable place to eat with family and friends. Place's ambiance (ang greasy lang ng sahig saka basa ako ng tumutulong AC) is good as well.

It has been 7 months since we went here. Perfect for korean food experience. 😋 Plus, the ambience is cosy. My hubs and I had a great time. We'll be back soon!
I saw this from one of food segment and tried it. And keeps on coming back to this resto if I'm craving for korean food. A buffet resto that you grill your own meat. Really love the spicy stir fried squid. It's a really hectic place maybe because it's famous. Just don't come on weekend because you cannot enjoy the atmosphere.
We were craving for Korean BBQ that's why we tried this place.
The buffet table was always refilled.
Good thing hindi lang Korean BBQ ang inooffer nila - merong mga lutong foods na.
Masarap yung fried chicken - Juicy and crispy
Yung Korean BBQ naman beef lang yung triny ko kasi super nipis. Kahit super nipis, nakakabusog and masarap!
Lee hak is a buffet korean restaurant. I love their meats because of the tenderness. There are plenty of food choices. Definitely gonna comeback and dine again here.
Your craving for unlimited samgyupsal will be satisfied with other dishes to choose from here at Lee hak. It’s a buffet style korean resto in a very affordable price. I just wish that they bring back the ice cream for desserts and improve their ventilation.

It was not off-peak hours when we came so I thought it would not be busy and we would have a pleasant customer service experience. First, as you step inside you’ll feel that the flooring is all greasy so always take careful steps. Something the management should do something about, really. Next, we were not assisted to the table and we still had to decide ourselves where we want to be seated. Not the things you’d expect happening when dining in at a restaurant but to offset all those things, their meat cuts are the best! The meat experience compares to that of Chakhan Pig when we were in Korea. The kimchi has the taste of what I had been craving and expecting to have: fermented perfectly! I always judge a Korean restaurant by how their kimchi tastes and Lee Hak definitely exceeded my expectations. Their melon milk also deserves a special mention. I liked it a lot.
Lee Hak would have gotten five stars from me if it weren’t for the greasy floors and not-so-good service. I will still eat here next time, though! It’s probably the best Korean restaurant I have ever dined in at yet.
You must try at Lee Hak if you are on a budget but still wanted to try some good Korean food. The place is big and easy to find. The staffs were all attentive and nice. I love how they decorated the place with pictures of famous Korean actors and actresses. There are a lot of food choices and they were all Korean cuisines.
Location is good. Parking space in front is limited but you can park in front of the supermarket which is a few meters away. With wide array of Korean and other dishes you can choose from, I personally like the beef bbq and the veggies which somewhat close to what i tried in Suwon SK. It also comes with free unlimited drinks.
Satisfied with the food, daebak. The quality and the ambiance is also good, and also the staffs. I would surely recommend this place too! :) Cheers to more birthday bbq buffet adventures with friends! Hahaha 😭💖
If you want to try a authentic korean food with plenty of choices this place is perfect for you good food and good place price is also affordable.
This is the place we go to if we crave for unli pork and beef. For 369 pesos, you’ll have your money’s worth and more. One of the cheapest Korean buffets out there. The spread? Not a lot, but that’s totally fine. You can’t expect them to go grand considering the price. The place is almost always packed, and the waitlist is endless. But limiting the time to 2 hours, takes care of that long waitlist. Expect to smell like bbq (ofcourse) after eating. 😉
they have a wide variety of food. the only concern is their flooring. the flooring is slippery as well as the stair maybe its because of the oil coming out fron the grill. to the management, pls make necessary action on this as it may cause accident to your customers. but all in all the food and ambiance is a great.

Celebrated my mom-in-law's 60th birthday here. The place was really good for events, particularly family occasions. Everybody enjoyed dining here.
Food wise, it was just okay. The buffet factor was fine, but not everything tasted well. I still look forward to dining again and wish that food would taste more better. We think we'd try the other branch next time.
Good Food for a Good Price! but if you dont want to be smelly this is not your place hehe...The area is fully closed, ventilation is not so good..
Went there twice this year. I love it! A lot of food choices for a korean buffet, meat is marinated very well, the location if perfect as I live in Mandaluyong. Not all buffet have drinka included but this one includes different juices 🖒. The place is clean and staff is very friendly and accommodating. The only downside is parking space is limited. You can park near starbucks but if it's dinner time sometimes you can get any parking space and have to wait. But my experience didnt change at all. Looking forward to my 3rd visit.
Affordable and sulit! That is all I can say.
I just dont like the the fact that the room is full of smoke when you enter the place. Maybe the exaust is nit working, i guess?
Well, you get what you pay for! Food was just good to say the least. Ambiance was ok. Service kinda sucks! There is a lot of service crew but most of them stay on one corner and mingle. The buffet was not worth it, did not enjoy it because most of the cooked food were already cold. I hope when i come back, there would be a lot of improvement!
been here twice and the first time nagpunta kami, nung pauwi na kami, nakakita ako ng small ipis , yung kitchen nila sa second floor malapit sa may c.r, medyo madumi at makalat. yung amoy rin sa second floor hindi ko alam kung bulok na kahoy ba o amoy iniipis na kahoy. Siguro dahil medyo matagal na ang Lee Hak kaya ganon, sana ipa-renovate dami pa naman nagpupunta.
Pero generous naman sa food, syempre buffet :D medyo nagsawa lang ako siguro mga 6 months pa uli bago ako bumalik dito.
Best value for money 👌
The meat quality is perfect and there are a lot of other variety should you decide not to go with traditional korean bbq. :) They also have a bibimbap section where you can do your own version of bibimbap. Just yummy!
Great food specially the spicy squid and kimchi one of the best.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ambiance: A typical Korean restaurant but a lot of K-PoP posters posted n the wall.😆😆😆
Service: hmmm thumbs down 👎👎👎
Very sloooooooooooooow.
What I love about this place is the unlimited bbq! The juice tasted good too! I was expecting to see different kinds of Korean food here, so I could try them. However, there were only few good ones. They also need to refill the ice bucket since there are a lot of people who always go there; same with the plates and other utensils. Expect that you will also smell like the food that you grilled! Overall it was a nice experience for a first timer like me! =)
Note: This review is long over due.
Who can say no to Korean BBQ? I know I can’t. But what about unlimited Korean BBQ at a price below P400? I’m gonna be there in a split second!
There is no denying that I love Korean food and Korean BBQ for that matter. Lee Hak, in Kapitolyo, a near cab ride from work offers 2 kinds of unlimited/buffet deals. The 1st one on the first floor is shabu-shabu. The 2nd one on the 2nd floor is the BBQ one.
Samgyupsal and galbi is what they serve as their meat options. Samgyupsal is obviously the standard classic that is pork belly. The galbi by definition are ribs, however, it just seemed like boneless pork cuts that had a sweet marinade on it. The waiter called it galbi, so I really do not know what to think of it. Perhaps boneless rib cuts?
Anyways, what is a Korean meal without a wide array of food? Besides a few banchan/side dishes, there were also other main dishes to choose from. The selection was a plenty from, bibimbap, kimbap, vegetable tempura, bulgogi, japche, fried chicken, squid, and much more. So while I was grilling my meats, I started to chow on the dishes I just mentioned. All were yummy, but I would have to say my favorite was the squash tempura.
Compared to other Korean BBQ establishments, they have a portable grill that they just put in front of you, Lee Hak’s is built into the center of the table. I love it because you can easily look down at the grill instead of cranking your neck up a bit to check on the food.
Since the meat is cut thin, it doesn’t take too long for them to grill. But then sometimes I do prefer a slightly charred crispy pork belly. Natural bacon without the preservatives. Who doesn’t love bacon? Let’s not forget we need to have a balance diet plus, what is Korean BBQ without ssam/lettuce wraps? Wrap the cooked to perfection pork with some gochujang paste, raw garlic, grilled kimchi and some salty sesame oil in a 1 biter, that’s a yummy bite there! Redo it again and again and you will never get tired of it. Take a bite of a finger chili as a chaser, and it will blow your taste buds!
Food: 5.0 – Food is authentic. The owners are Korean themselves. If I have 1 thing to complain about, it would be… there isn’t much of a variety of ssam/lettuce wraps. It’s really just that 1 standard lettuce.
Price: 5.0 – For less than P400??? Sweet deal!!!
Service: 4.0 – Servers are attentive if you ask for help. However I did notice that turnover of food or refilling them can take a long time sometimes.
Ambience: 3.0 – Very simple no design theme. Just wooden chairs and tables. Though they do need to improve on ventilation.
Lee Hak, you are my Korean BBQ heaven, and I will for sure be coming back!
If you want cheap Korean Buffet, this is the place to go.
I have been to Lee Hak twice, 1 year apart and I still had the same experience (not sure if it's a good thing) but at least their service is consistent.
Aside from their pork and beef which are nicely marinated, I really love their spicy squid (it usually finishes fast, so I had to wait a long time for the staff to refill). Although, my eyes had tears because of the smoke maybe the place is not ventilated well. But overall, food is good. :)
Plenty of choices for the side dishes. Here you can get your own meat just like in Yakimix but almost always the beef is frozen so be prepared to eat thin uneven slices of it. I just had an unpleasant experience there where I saw a dead fly in their potato dish so I’m a bit on the fence wether I’ll still go back.
