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
Wow, the place to be if your pocket got lotsa load. Try ang eat all u can buffet...superb. promos are guaranteed good. Staffs are exquisite...u guys need a more larger place for accommodations.

Service is undeniably good! We were seated right away. The staffs are also very accomodating . For the food, I would rather give a 4 since I wasn't able to taste their chawan mushi(my fav'rite). � The pot was empty and was not refilled all throughout our stay. However, my kids love the food.

It was fun watching some of the staff dance with glee for the birthday celebrants. Food was great, from raw foods then to cooked meals, and to the bacon rolled cheese. Drinks served to your table.keep up the good work guys!
I like the venue. Staffs are very accomodating. Anything that you wanted, just ask and they'll attentively serve it to you. Place is clean. Foods are very good. I would also like to thank and mention the staff named Kuya Mike & Ate Mia for assisting us all the way. We will surely be back and refer this place to other friends. �:) �
I celebrated my birthday here at sambokojin, west ave. My 2nd time to celebrate it here with my family, because of the great and variety of foods...
Staffs were noce and approachable...
Highly recommended �
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.

I have been to Dad's World Buffet countless times but this is the first time I have tried Sambo Kojin. Holiday season made it very difficult to book a table at restaurants, especially the ones offering buffet. I called atleast three buffet restaurants and they're all fully-booked, so I tried calling Sambo Kojin and luckily, they still have available tables.
When I entered and inquired at the reception, I was told, "Tatawagin na lang po." So we waited, it was already past 5PM when they started calling with a shouting "palengke" like voice, then I heard my name and I almost felt like shouting my reply, "From the Philippines!"
I really don't know what to expect but the place was nice, neat and not too crowded maybe because of the location and arrangement of the buffet stations . The cooked food maybe not be as many varieties like what Dad's World Buffet offer, but the Korean Barbecue station of the buffet offers more that what the usual Unlimited Korean BBQ restaurants have. Included were sea foods such as shrimps, salmon, mussels, tuna and also marinated meats. The condiments, sides and spices were already available at the table, no need to ask. They also replace the grilling plate after 30 minutes of cooking (I guess). The Bacon Cheese Roll was the run away winner for me.
The only downside for me was the quality of service of some servers. My friend went to the bar to get his drink and I also did the same. When a server approached our table, he told us that we can order our drinks and it will be served, and the rest ordered theirs and no drink was served, they ended up doing the same thing that we did- getting the drink at the counter by yourself. And some waiters were not attentive enough and makes you hesitate to ask them to take your photos.
But to some it up, I really enjoyed the Sambo Kojin experience.
Pros: excellent food quality and taste with so much to choose from. My little brother loves the shrimp tempura ans my little sister craves their salmon sashimi so much. Great waiters, shoutout to our waiter during our manila team christmas dinner - professional and very handsome.
Cons: parking space is full.. Valet is mostly the answer.
Went here for special occassions like my graduation, my friend's birthdays, our company dinner and most likely my parent's silver anniversary this coming January. The restroom has a bidet fyi.
So surprised that the place is full even on Monday night and a lot of birthday celebrations were held. But it's good they have a big space so you won't feel the crowd.
The service is quite slow. Our empty plates were seldomly taken out of our table and we kept on following up on our ordered drinks. But still thankful to RJ for his assistance.
We came here for the food and we love it! Overall we still had a very good experience. 😊
Admit it or not, Sambokojin is one of the places people go to especially for their birthday promo because it is really such a steal! You can choose from their Japanese and Korean cuisine. Ambience is really great and they have wide space so even if the place gets a lot of customer, place does not have the tendency to get crowded.
Sambo Kojin is one of the leading restaurants in Manila that offers UNLIMITED samgyeopsal, fresh seafood items for grilling, a wide selection of sushi favorites, and other favorite Japanese and Korean specialties. Celebrate up to 14 times for 7 days, lunch & dinner! Both reserved and walk-in customers can get this promo! Can be claimed at all of our branches: Eastwood, EDSA, SM Megamall, SM City Fairview, SM Southmall, and West Avenue.
sambokojin west ave isn’t clean & neat as it used to before, but the food is always lit, excep for the kor chickens that are quite hard to chew maybe bc of being exposed to air for a long time already ✌🏻
Well what can I say this is one of my most recommended & loved buffet. The food is simply the best. The best buffet ever. I love their Japanese cheesecake though not as tasty and yummy as with Tokyo cheesecake but it is still passable compared to other buffets who have japanese cheesecake. The matcha flavored ice cream is something you want to go back. They are famous with their smokeless grill and their endless food choices with attentive waiters to assist you. The carving station also is awesome and you would want to go back for more. Well it was my second time to be in Sambo Kojin (megamall and west ave) and I never felt disappointed. Highly recommend korean japanese buffet👍👍👍
Only thing I didn’t like how hot it was. More AC is needed in a place like this. Sambokujin will still be my go to place for buffet. Either this branch or the one in EDSA.
Great dining service! We enjoyed how the dining staff dance whenever they sing Happy Birthday to a celebrant. It was so fun to watch! They also made sure to buss out empty plates once in a while. Buffet/ Kitchen staff were attentive at refilling the food every now and then. I love the Japanese Cheesecake. It literally melts in your mouth!
Our family love Japanese food so we often eat here especially if there are birthdays because the birthday celebrant is free on their birthday and 3 days before and after his/her birthday (but should be accompanied by one full paying adult) haha! They accept walk-ins but it's better to have a reservation so you don't need to wait in line. Employees are approachable. For desserts, so-so. Cleanliness 8/10. Food 9.8/10 (.2 for the dessert haha!)
Tip: If you like shrimps and is too lazy to peel them, you can order/request for peeled shrimps. But you're the one who have to cook them of course. hahaha
Celebrated one of my friend’s birthday here in west ave branch. The choices are kind of few compared to the others most especially in Sm Fairview. I was looking for some dishes that I already had plans on eating but they dont have it. Hehe. The branch is also small and crowded but it was never an issue, we still enjoyed our food.
Best grill buffet that i've tried so far! You can choose different foods, from cooked to raw foods. I loke the most is the matcha cake from the dessert station. I would love to come back here and try and compare the different branches
For sushi, gyoza and korean food lovers! 🍜🍣🍢🍥🍤
Enjoy their mouthwatering japanese / korea cuisine.
Don't missed to taste every dish that will surely satisfy your craving! 😉❤️❤️❤️
Great food selection and great service. We can't go as often anymore because of the price increase. But when there's an event we want to celebrate, Sambokojin almost always comes 1st in our choices.
For ₽888/head on a holiday dinner, it’s quite worth it because of the massive choices of meat that you can grill to your tummy’s content + a wide variety of food on the buffet. Drinks are also unlimited. Service staff are quick to change the grilling plate, and very attentive to your needs. Floors are quite sticky, but I was impressed on how tidy the (women’s) restroom is. Parking is a challenge.
Great food. Great service. Great place. Clean CR. Accommodating personnel.
Mabilis din sila magreplenish ng buffet table. Though yung drinks ang medyo hindi agad dumadating.

Well honestly compare sa ibang branch, I think this is the smallest one but the food is still good. Sobrang daming customer kaya siguro hirap mag assist mga staff nila. As long as the food is ok, ok na ko dun.

When we think about Asian Buffet, Sambokojin is the place to be! Good food. Affordable rates. Good ambiance. Great for big group, families and reunions. You can cook your meat just the way you wanted it and have fun experimenting with the sauces!
This place really gets jam packed on dinner and most especially on weekends! It is best to book ahead of time to avoid waiting for a long time.
Great food and good service. The staff are all accommodating :) You wouldnt wanna miss their beef enoki roll and their sashimi. Also, the shrimp tempura tastes good 💖

this branch of sambokojin is the best for me , mabilis sila magrefill ng food , and i think much more fresh, they never ran out of salmon that is why i really love this branch 😍
Me and my family celebrate my birthday here. Good staff! Very accomodating staff. Good ambience! Awesome food! We love it and we'll be back here soon!

An infusion of Japanese and Korean food in one place! They have an extensive selection of meat for grilling at your own table but I still prefer those unli Korean bbq in terms of the flavor. My favorites are the Salt and Pepper Marbled Beef, Sesame Beef and the Pork wrapped cheese. I like that they have ready-to-eat food especially the dumplings. I immediately went for their Gyoza and Tempura. The mozarella and vegetable Gyoza didn't differ in taste, but the shrimp they used for the Ebi Tempura was big. I also liked the Kani Tempura.
The sushi and maki display was extensive as well but it wasn't very inviting to me. Some looked like they were done in a rush and sloppy. The notable ones are the California Maki and Tempura Maki.
My boyfriend liked the steak station with the lamb being the most notable. He also liked the Pepper Corn sauce. He was also expecting Avocado ice cream but was dismayed to find Green Tea! Haha!
Dessert was just okay. Skip the cakes and pastries, and take the halo-halo or ice cream instead. The only notable cake would be the Carrot Cake but was only so-so. I'd rather munch on those white chocolate on top of the cake and eclairs. Big Scoop ice cream is their supplier and I'd always go for the Vanilla with graham dust, sprinkles and chocolate syrup.
Service wasn't that good except for the senior officer (I think it was the Asst. Manager) who was very polite, accomodating and always had a smile on his face. The younger servers were a bit rude as they will immediately get your plates and glasses without asking and pull out the grill the minute it turns black. Drinks are to be ordered (included already in the unlimited rate) and would take a while before it is served. But I do understand that they have to be quick in getting the plates to replenish immediately but I wish they would just ask.
Me and my friends enjoyed eating here but my friend noticed something , we suggest that the restaurant pay attention with the cleanliness. And i hope that the menu trays will always have food to offer just in case the tray will be empty.
The service is really great! 👍👍
Highly recommend and will be back here with my husband.
I love everything about this place! It's worth the pocket, really!! If you want to eat out in a fancy buffet resto with a budget or less than 700 (food alone)..you definitely must go here!! The meat, seafoods, everything!! I got really full cuz of the beef with cheese on it. For the dessert, I loved their Japanese cheesecake and greentea icecream. The place is really well lit and ventilated even if there's a lot of people. The only let down is their carving station, i just went there once.. the meat was kind of cold but I would rate the place less than that just cuz of it because this deserved a 5 for me. Go here with you familyyy. They will surely enjoy. 😍
Actually, our date here was sponty af and left UST around 12nn so we thought we wouldnt be able to eat a lot of the good stuffs (cuz it is near closing time) but!! We still had a money worth experience here!
Getting a table: easy getting one during weekdays and for small groups of until 4. For big groups, better call to reserve a table.
Food: The usual grill on your table type of buffet. Lot's of meat choices. They have shrimp as well but not every day. Bottomless juice and shakes are included in the price. They have a good selection of japanese and korean dishes. Kimchi is very spicy though the last time we were here, which was last Monday.
Overall experience: Great "go to" place if you enjoy wacky birthday celebrations. If you're here for your bday, stay until they sing to you and be entertained. We've been here more than 10 times and we still go here if hubby prefers a quick japanese fix.
been here a couple of times from xmas celebratioms to baptismals. a good mix of cook your own food by hot plate and ready to eat food. the place is commonly packed because of their good prices ans discounts for events and special ocassions.
Sambo Kojin is a good buffet place. I like going to this particular branch because it is much more convenient for us since they have a valet.
It is not an overly crowded place. The only downside is that this branch has fewer selections compared to its other branches. Regardless, it is still a enjoyable place to dine with friends and family.
A Japanese eat-all-you-can buffet that serves different kinds of sushis and katsu. They also serve roast beef, tempuras, and takoyaki. After eating, you can now enjoy the desert buffet ranging from cheesecakes to chocolate fondue. Celebrate your birthday here and have a free buffet for almost 1 week. The waiters/servers are very accommodating and courteous 👍🏼
So glad they now have roast beef, lamb and lechon at this branch. Two years ago they didn't have one. My former officemates and I had a get together for lunch. Since it was a weekday the rate was Php688. They also gave more variety for drinks. Good job!
It's a good enough buffet for what you're paying for. Their beef and pork belly taste good, and their shrimp is fresh. Their sushi is pretty okay, despite the normal rule of buffet sushi being subpar. Their rice is surprisingly okay, and they use Japanese or a japanese-like rice. The dessert station is predictably lacking good options, so it's best to just stick with the ice cream. For large groups and special occassions, this is one of the better value buffets.
Sambo Kojin never fail to amaze me! Thanks for their Matcha Ice cream, Cheesecake and Matcha cake. 98% real taste of matcha!
Sushi, sashimi 👍👍👍
Tempura 👍👍👍
Lamb steak 👍👍👍
Korean chicken 👍
Noodles 👍👍👍

Big place, great ambiance, good airconditioning and accommodating staff. Above all, so many choices of food to choose from.
Food tastes great, they are of quality. There are already cooked food and there are also uncooked for you to grill them yourself. There's also a carving area. For desserts, i just wish there was more to choose from since i'm a sweet tooth. Altho there's halo halo, ice cream w many choices of flavors, choco fountain and fresh fruits. More cakes, brownies and other pastries would be perfect.
I would recommend this buffet over vikings. Sambo may be offering fewer selection, but food are w quality and great taste. While vikings, for me is so overrated and more of the quantity side. This is just my opinion only.
Variety of Asian and American cuisines. All are fresh and delicious. Very nice crews though the receptionist is kind of suplada and good ambiance. Comfort rooms smells nice.
I'm not much of a buffet person, as my stomach can only carry so much. But if I'm craving for asian cuisines, particularly sushis and such, then Sambokojin is my go-to resto. I just love the fresh selections that they continue to offer.
What's good about this specific restaurant is its on the ground floor. This building doesn't have an elevator so get this one if you're dining with an elderly person.
I go to buffet primarily for the Japanese side of it and this place has a lot. I'm one of those people who hoard the salmon section and Sambokojin has expanded the things I eat in a buffet. I love how they have urchin! You can't even get those in a 5 star hotel buffet sometimes.
They have a variety of things to grill and you can ask the waiter to grill it for you. I enjoyed their chicken and foiled ready to grill shrimps.
This is has become my primary choice for buffets.
What's cool?
Customer service was great as they did what I I exactly asked of them for my s/0's birthday celebration.
The price was very reasonable and there's really a wide selection of korean food...:)
It's a Great place for family celebrations..:)
This is my favorite eat all you can buffet.
Aside from having a smokeless grill (so you don't smell like smoke after dining in), they have a variety of cooked and uncooked choices.
I love their beef and seafood (wrapped in aluminum and cooked in butter). I could never get enough of this.
They added delicious new dishes to their menu (roast beef, pork belly). Drinks are now also included in their buffet.
Im a maki lover and sambokojin is definitely top of the list when Im craving for maki. They have good varieties of maki. 👌👌 I love their bacon cheese for shabu shabu and shrimp. The dessert section is also apetizing specially their Ice cream with different toppings to choose from.
The thing I loved the most here is their yakiniku, especially the pork belly, beef teriyaki, bacon and cheese roll and marinated chicken. Although the food choices are limited, the foods are delicious. I would just like to suggest that they should improve the desserts. But all in all, it is still a must try. 😋👍
Love the freshness of their seafood! Great Japanese buffet place! Bundles of joy really liked their tempura and desserts! Service is very good too! Cooking and empty plates changed efficiently! Better call to reserve or come early for walk-in, waiting time is long and if you're late you won't be able to maximize!
I think this will be my new favorite buffet. With endless choice of tempura, sushi, katsu etc. I got to try those japanese foods i hesitatebto order from a regular restau. Everything is flavorful.
Went here on a monday for lunch and I had a pleasant dining experience. It is best to call for a reservation atleast a day ahead (which I did) and we were lucky enough to find a parking space so we didn't have to get valet. They have excellent choices in their buffet and I truly enjoyed everything. I'm not really a fan of sweets but I think their dessert buffet was just fine. I would love to come back again soon.
When my family craving for grilled foods.we usually dine here.food is great even not so many variety like in sm megamall,service is good and attentive price is reasonable,parking is not a problem they have vallet parking,maybe the problem would be you'll wait ling time if you dont come early or have a reservation so better do come early or have a reservation.
Delicious choices of food but was disappointed when the place got full because the waiters and waitresses were too busy to ignore our drink refills. We were a group of 10 persons and it wouldn't be that hard to see if we were asking for refills.
Literally my favorite place for korean and japanese food. The food is amazing, the choices are amazing as well. The ambiance is A++. This is by far my recommended place if you're a first timer in japanese/ korean cuisine since this is a buffet, you get to choose the food infront of you and get to see how it actually looks like.
My favorite place is Sambokujin for their grill and sushi. My father's a regular here and loooves coming here when there's a birthday celebration (so it's easy to treat him out on his birthday because he's free)
My all-time favorite is the pork + enoki mushrooms. You grill it and I can literally eat 50 pieces, without hesitation. Also, the salmon sashimi! The other food choices are good too :) The best time to go is for lunch!
[+] brownie points: free valet and lots of seating!!

Sambokojin is one of the new and upcoming buffet here in the metro. Similar to what you would find in Yakimix, it's a fusion of Korean and Japanese cuisine. It's not that diverse and extensive as Vikings or Buffet 101 but they do deliver well on their services.
I like the ambiance of the place. For 799/person on a Wednesday night isn't bad at all. You still feel that you're not being shortchanged on this place. It's a big place (just below the saisaki / dad's buffet). Enough for a couple of people to roam around without bumping into each other.
Food. I like how they have this shabu shabu (and it's smokeless) that doesn't have that food smell afterwards. They have quite an extensive meats to choose from.
Also may I add that they have a free valet service which is convenient because you won't have to look for a parking anymore.
Me and my family looooves Japanese food, and when we are craving to really eat a lot and I mean A LOT of sashimi and tempura this is our go-to restaurant.
For me, I can have a fulfilling meal by just eating Salmon Sashimi and Ebi Tempura. But their sashimi varies sometimes in terms of taste and quality, sometimes it a good kind sashimi and the other are meh.
The no fail for me is the ebi tempura which is my super super favorite!
The other food in the buffet are also okay, like the yakiniku items, katsu and japchae. For dessert, I just eat the big scoop ice cream that they serve here, cause I don't like the taste of their cakes.
This place is usually full especially on weekends so it is advised to have a reservation just to avoid the hassle of waiting.
Tried this branch with my friends a month ago. We came there late and only had an hour to enjoy our lunch. Sambokojin may not offer a wide selection of food unlike Vikings and other buffet restaurants, but they surely offer the best grilling experience to us at the most affordable price. I love their shrimp and bacon wrapped cheese. I always feel full and satisfied every time I eat here. Life is good.

I called up their number at around 9:30pm on December 19 as it was a last minute decision to eat here for dinner the following day. I was advised to come in at 5:00 pm so that I could be accommodated as a walk-in guest as they only reserve 70 of the 300 seats. We were fourth in the waiting list and was seated at 5:30. Me and my guest from London ate happily. I ate seafoods only but I never ran out of food choices. I also went around several times to survey the food and to walk a little so I could eat more. Their bottomless drink is also unusual as you could drink whatever non-alcoholic was in the menu. I would definitely return here.
Our go-to eat-you-can resto in QC. Great food selection for the price - wide variety of meat and seafood for grilling, sushi rolls, Korean and Japanese dishes, and ofcourse dessert. We always enjoy cooking on the smokeless grill. Sulit especially if you're dinning with a bday celebrant. ;) Attentive waiters.
One of the best buffets in Manila. The food was great and the servers were nice and accomodating. The place is clean. I have nothing to say but it was perfectly okay. Super love it.
Been here with my wife and son on our wedding anniversary, the experience is great, place is cozy, food superb, though the line of choices are a bit few from other branches. Price is competitive. Same setback, the drinks are per order basis even if its unlimited.

I've been wanting to try Sambokojin since it opened here in Manila and luckily Mom was game to get our tummies filled for Saturday lunch.
We headed to Sambokojin West Ave branch which caters to customers from 11AM to 2PM. We came in around lunch time and there are a lot of customers already. The place was really big and spacious. You'll be greeted with the smell of beef sizzling from the grill and fresh scent of seafoods! We were ushered to the dining area inside and was seated near the dessert area and then we started the fun!
We started with the sushi and maki located at the entrance and we tried almost everything! The endless line of sushi and maki will make you always come back for more. The chef in charge of this area ensures you that everything is made fresh for consumption on the same day. Salad and other appetizers lay side by side with the maki but did not appeal much to us. I was so excited to try the grill so I started getting all the food I want to grill, starting of with the shrimp and bacon with cheese. There alot more choices what to grill but I sticked with these since I've been craving for them. We also tried the Tonkatsu, Takoyaki and Tempura which was almost half empty since it's almost near afternoon closing time. We still got to taste the desserts, they have ice cream with toppings and other cakes but we loved ice cream so this is where we gave our all. I love that their ice cream waa not too sweet and it was frozen you'll need to allot so many time is scooping one for you.
Service was okay, the staff accommodated us and was very attentive to our requests. Ambiance was also okay, big but not very crowded. Price was affordable considering that it is buffet. They just don't have some of the food they offer at other Sambokojin branches like the Ramens. But overall, the experience was fun!
I liked Sambokojin better than yakimix but they should omprove their desserts more :) had a great time with friends! kudos to the servers as well!
If you love Japanese and Korean food, Sambo Kojin is a must try in your go to list. I love their interior design however, they've only got one bathroom for men and women.
It was my first time to visit this restaurant in West Avenue. They have accommodating and friendly staffs. I love the ambiance so much and I couldn't resist their mouthwatering foods!!!! I really had fun earlier and I will definitely invite my friends to come over and try their fascinating casual dining ☺️
I love Japanese food. Show me all the tempura and sashimi that I can eat please! Here at Sambokojin you will definitely get your money's worth. Plus they have unlimited shakes too for
a minimal price.
I love their chapchae, bulgogi, and sushi. I don't like the taste of their katsu and their tempura is 80% bread crumbs and 20% shrimp. Their selection of meats to grill are average but it is already worth the price. It can satisfy my cravings for Tajimaya though.
My experience in Sambo Kojin was great. Really tried their different varieties of food. But what I like the most is their grilled beef, pork and shrimps. My father really likes the foiled wrap salmon and the folied wrap with mushroom, asparagus with butter. We really enjoyed dining here. Definitely worth it!
Sambo kojin is really one of the best buffets in Manila!!! the service is really good and the people are really nice!!! Also, with the food!!! one of the best foods in town!!! Love the taste. so much love. And yes!!!!!! smokeless grill is a great idea. cooking my own food in front of meakea me drool. uhhh.
The staff were very nice and accomodating, the ambiance was great and I even celebrated my birthday there and availed their birthday promo. We loved the food and grilled a lot of meat. The dessert station was great because there were a lot of pastries and ice cream to choose from.

Among all the buffet restaurants I have visited, Sambokojin would probably be first on my list. Im a fan of yakiniku and I want my food served hot, and where else best can it be if you are cooking your own food right? Meat is best with Sambokojin and Teriyaki sauce. The grill choices are a lot, however the cooked ones are less compared to other buffet restaurants; The branch in West Triangle had approximately 4 long tables of choices. For me, even if the choices are quite limited compared to others, the taste is well distinct and will be remembered. Highly recommended.
The food was great esp. the cakes!!!
Staffs are very accomodating kudos to the photobomber behind our pic. Hehehe !
More maki pleaseee :).
Sambo Kojin is a great place to eat if you are looking for a buffet place with your family. Their selection of meats is awesome and plentiful. If you want a meat with a bit of spiciness to it, its there. Sweet meat, its there as well. I also love the fact that they have a lot of sauces to complement your dishes.
This place easily gets full, good thing we always call for reservations and we could skip the lines which tends to be long. Love the fact that they do valet parking here as well as the parking would be hard without it. They have a really nice buffet set up which is easy and convenient. But they do need to spruce up their dessert offerings as it is rather limited. The only thing i tend to get for dessert is ice cream. The food is really cooked well and the raw dishes are plentiful in choices. Love their pork belly!
The best place to be for bithdays. The birthday cast even has costumes. The good is great with a wide array of selection. Shrimps are really fresh. Grill to the max and grill all you can. :)
Sambokojin has the best yakiniku in town. They have a lot of foods to be grilled and marinated with different flavors.
Great service. Great food (sushi - salmon sushi with kiwi on top was the best, Japanese, Korean) but I hope they'll upgrade their dessert section. Not really a fan of cakes and pastries so I indulged myself with their green tea ice cream.
My friends and I just recently celebrated a birthday here and the place was perfect for the occasion. They wait staff is really friendly and they often give you their specials to help you decide on what to eat. They also bring some of the dishes to your table just to simply assist you more. Really good place to get that Japanese and Korean craving fixed.
I so love the assorted sushis and maki. As of now, it is way better from other buffet with on the spot cooking. Staff are somehow approachable but I do understand that it serves buffet which means a lot of people would request or order at the same time. Nevertheless, I overall experience was good.
Not really a fan of buffets cause I value the quality of food rather than quantity but I did enjoy my first visit here and I kept coming back especially when celebrating in big groups. I love yakiniku but I love it more when it's really the meat that tastes good and not just the sauce or seasoning and that's what this japanese-korean buffet offers! But it's a bonus that they also have really great tasting sauces. The dessert section which of course is my favorite area may not have much variety as compared to other buffet restaurants but that's forgivable since I'm guessing diners here are saving most of the space in their tummies for meat feasting. Haha! Verdict is definitely value for money!
