Yaaaay. My first korean bbq experience after quarantine (though it is not really over yet hehe) went here for lunch and the only difference is no more waiting in long lines! Romantic baboy is one of my favorite korean bbq & grill and during our visit, some meats weren’t available but it’s okay, we just tried the other options. My family and I always have korean bbq at home but it really feels different when you’re in a restaurant hehe. Would love to dine again soon!
Great service despite the number of diners.
Romantic Baboy plies quite an extensive menu of traditional Korean grill barbecue meat (pork and beef) in a no-frills atmosphere. Seats aren’t cramped but rather comfortable for large groups. Rightly so, each table is fitted with an exhaust grill hood. The restaurant looks spacious despite being packed, and the vibe exudes a feel-good facotor where everything feels right. Casual, convenient, and friendly, this is the spot to be.
It’s fascinating that ROMANTIC in Romantic Baboy actually is a made-up acronym for the names of the dishes available on their unlimited pork and beef menu. (See their menu below for reference.) We had a couple servings of Daepae Samgyupsal and Woo Samgyup, and one each of the rest.
We started to cook meat as soon as they were served on the table, without realizing that some pieces would take longer to cook than others. Anyway, cooking was a breeze. While things were grilling, we dove into the side dishes and then wrapped some cooked meat with lettuce, aiming to make each wrap a two-bite affair. My favorites were the curry beef (very aromatic and savory – the curry flavor worked well), romantic bulgogi (sweet and perfectly marinated), and the daepae samgyupsal (I really appreciate the thinness of slices). Tempered by a lovely touch of char, the herb flavored pork belly was also interesting as it arrived herby indeed.
Romantic Baboy Unlimited Korean Grill is an answer to your Korean bbq cravings = food coma! We savored the goodness of meat as we dipped them in cheese and ate some with kimchi. These accompaniments provided a depth of flavor that further heightened the intrinsic goodness of the samgyupsal.
There’s no doubt that Korean bbq has entered the foodies’ lexicon and it’s up there with milk tea and mango float. At only P499, we were pretty satisfied with our experience at Romantic Baboy. It offers a good price given the value, quality, and selections of their meat, and suffice to say, it’s the type of restaurant you need in your arsenal. This kbbq trend shows no sign of waning as there’s more restaurants being opened every month. This chain, most especially, is growing too quickly, and patrons are all happy with their expansion. More reason to cheat from your diet! 🙂
Me and my family dines here for a celebration of my brothers Graduation.
Since it is early in the morning, there's not so much people upon our visit.
The staff are attentive and accommodating.
The place is okay and tidy though the cooling of AC is not okay.
The meat tastes good and I can definitely say that this is one of my fave samgyup places.
Overall, sulit for the price.
Rarely any lines whenever we visit here! One of my go-to Korean BBQ restos! Plus their music playlist is better than others ❤️ Staff are friendly and accommodating despite having many customers
We went there friday lunch time that's why we got seats but when you go there during weekends or dinner time, there are a lot of people.
Service was good, they were very attentive.
Meat was good and well prepared.
The place is also neat.
We had a nice experience at Romantic Baboy. Very attentive servers, good cuts of meat, fairly priced at 499php. The sides tasted good but we kinda wanted more variety for the side dishes. Overall, one of the best unlimited samgyupsals in Metro Manila.
Service crew was attentive and polite. They were even nice enough to offer to take a picture of us. Not crowded. Meat and side dishes are great. Will definitely come back!
Food and service is great. I just have one reservation, I came here with my family. We are a group of 8. They cant seat us with 2 tables next to each other. A table can only seat 4 people. I asked them if the other half of our group could be transferred to the table beside me if the other party leaves. They said they cant. I could say its not a group friendly restaurant though this wont affect my rating.
Efficient staff and nice location. The place is not too cramped unlike other samgyupsal restos. Food is okay, nothing special. An average romantic :)
