Food - if you like Korean-Japanese cuisine then i truly recommend this place
Service - staff are attentive once they take note of you... but calling their attention may take a while because they are busy attending to other customers’ needs
Price - if you have a big appetite it may be extremely worth it, if not, then you’re also paying for the ambiance and the experience of cooking and eating Korean/ Japanese food ... if you are a picky eater despite the variety of foods - that may be a problem (esp for kids and teenagers).... good thing children are charged less
Cleanliness - every now and then someone mops the floor, picks up some of the empty plates
Rewards - each time you dine there you get stamps on your Frequent Diner Card ... something not offered at other buffets
Cons - since you can cook your fresh meat/ seafoods, the smell permeates the whole place... a retractable hood would’ve been nice
Parking - if you’re early, good! If not, there’s valet parking... it may take a while to get your car if many tables billed out at the same time

We ate earlier here at sambokojin and we really like the service.. Staffs are really great.. If they saw an empty plate on your table, they will ask and remove it for your convenience.. Once you asked something from them, they will immediately give it to you.. They always refill the food from the buffet table.. We really appreciate the service.. I'll surely recommend this to others.. I want to mention the staff named Prince, sobrang sipag, he will assist you immediately if you need anything.. It's worth the price.. We will be back surely.. <3
I have a frequent diner card at Sambo Kojin and has been a fan for many years. The staff are attentive and accommodating even when I compare my experiences from my favorite branch here at West Avenue to others. It's a great place for group dining.
First time to try here. It's a bit pricey, but totally worth it. Great food, great service, friendly crew.
We, as a family, went here to celebrate my birthday last november. We ate dinner here and we have our seats already as we went there, no reservations required during weekdays.
The food was nice, but they have limited selection of food when it's weekdays, but on weekends there are a lot of selections. At here, you can picked whether you will eat cooked food or you wanted to cook it on your own.
They have different cuisines of food selections. Like there are japanese, american, filipino and korean cuisine. The service was also nice, there are a lot of waiters there to serve you.
If you're finding a "sulit" buffet and a samgyupsal resto that offers a huge variety of meat cuts, Sambo Kojin is definitely what you're looking for.
This is our go to place for birthday celebrations. They got good promos. Always satisfied with their food and their service. I prefer this branch, compared to their SM Fairview branch.
Great place to celebrate with friends or just dine-in with family. You get what you pay for — Good food, comfy seats and accomodating staff. Wide-variety of food to choose. For me, best time to go here is weekdays, 7pm onwards 😁
They offer wider varieties than other Korean Grill. Just a little disappointed with their Ice cream - they don’t have Avocado ice cream from Big scoop 🙁. Other that than, this branch is recommendable because their staff are very accommodating.

Sambo Kojin is possibly one of the first restaurants in Metro Manila offering unlimited authentic Yakiniku (Japanese grill) and Korean barbecue. The restaurant prides itself in its smokeless grills that allow diners to enjoy the experience of cooking their choice of meats and vegetables without the smoke that typically released by barbecue grills.
Since we are craving for Japanese-Korean food, we went to Sambokojin West ave. Food is great but the kimchi is quite salty,. What makes our dinner feel very special is the service crew named Wilmar served as well. He will come back to our table from time to time just to check if we need anything else and will remove plates with no food anymore. Hope all the branches will have employees like him.

One of the most popular buffet in PH. Best place for gathering, offers good promo and foods are all okay. For the place, i think its time to renovate the place, most of grilling post are old, not working well. For the ice cream area, its better if one crew will be on that area to assists customer (sobrang kalat) Sorry for posting only 2 photos its just im focus on eating and observation.
