The price is affordable. The meats are just right for its price. Just an ordinary samgyupsal resto for me. Nothing special about the meats, the side dishes are common. I suggest this for budget wise korean resto. 😊

Always our go to samgyup place!!! Serves really good samgyup at such a low price!! Also their garlic mayo sauce is to die for!!! You also get a free ice cream at the end. The servers are very accomodating and moves really fast. The only downside is parking space. Only one parking space in front so you have to go around and check if there are available road side parking space

They have a pretty big variety of side dishes and good music minsan nagmumuka na akong ewan sumasayaw habang kumakain. May pa-cheese pa sila eh sa ibang samgyupsal places may extra bayad pa un + free ice cream! Medjo mahirap lang tawagin ung mga workers. 5 star na to if unlimited ung time, 1 hr and 30 mins lang kasi pwede

We were there last night to celebrate my birthday...Mahaba ang pila but the receptionist was so accommodating...She was talking to customer na naka-log sa record nya to check if anodon pa as if matagal na nyang kakilala kaya kahit mahaba ang pila eh hindi ka maiinis...When we got our seat already eh napaka babait at very accommodating rin ng mga waiters...Hindi mo sila makikitaan ng pagod....You made my night guys...thanks you...As far as food is concern, thumbs up rin ako....Babalik pa ulit kami...Thank you

With Korean grill promos everywhere, joints are popping here and there. While many are located in business districts, I Love Seoul is situated in an avenue-long food district in Banawe.

I Love Seoul is known for long lines and their traditional grilling style. My friends and I went there for their Halloween promo with a price tag of only 350pesos/head which includes all pork, beef and chicken variants and 250pesos if there is no pork. We all ordered the promo which includes beef.

Their grill is not the usual grill from what I’ve tried on other Korean grill, I Love Seoul uses charcoal under their grilling plate very different from my 2 previous Korean restos which uses modern way to grill. This is much better because the smoked flavor is present on your cooked meat. Their sides are also unlimited with bottomless iced tea. The sweetend Dilis is what stands-out on all the sides.

Kudos to Arnold who was the one serving us all our refills and needs.

They have diff kinds of meat, yes! Definitely quality food. The crew are pretty inattentive, you seriously need to call them out twice maybe even thrice (maybe bec short din sila sa manpower kaya???) &&& my major concern is the cleanliness, not just of the floor (sige give na nating busy silang lahat no time na pagtuonan ng pansin yung floor) but the table, seryoso? major turn off yung hindi malinis maiging spoon, fork, and glass. man there were still kanina kanina don sa fork. I hope they’ll be more careful naman sa utensils nila. Also the table itself, di nila pinupunasan maigi pinansin ko din yung tables nung mga kasabay namin before they started, di din malinis maigi. Regardless of those, the food is deffo worth your money.

One of my favorite samgyeopsal restaurant. They offer a lot of flavored/marinated meat and they are also a lot cheaper than other samgyeopsal restaurants. 
Bad thing is they have an one hour and half time limit. 
Limited seats and parking space.
Slow service when we are asking for some side dish and meats

Waiting lines are worth it! Their unli meat promo offers a big bundle of perks that i think other k-bbq restaurants don’t have. For a very affordable price, you can have unli korean pork/beef/chicken plus bottomless iced tea! You don’t need to worry that they serve low quality meats because you will not believe its totally the opposite. I would recommend their beef bulgogi. A big thumbs up also to the service! They have a lot of service crews roaming around and checking every table so you don’t have worry on waiting and follow up.

Of all the samgyupsal restaurant that I’d tried, I must say this is the only one that we’d waited for like less than 10mins. We arrived around 6PM so I was kinda expected to wait for a long time but then I was wrong, maybe because it’s a week day and it’s raining. Overall experience would be a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

💜 the ambience was so inviting and clean.
❤️ the food was good, though in other samgyup restau they would ask if what would you like, here they are the one who decides what to place on your table.
💚servers are friendly and smiling all the time and super nice.😃
💜the side dishes were great😍 though they dont have japchae like other.
❤️cheaper than other samgyup restau but quality was amazing⭐️
💚they do have a free ice cream.😍
❗️they do have time limit in dining in for an hour and a half.
❗️the service was kinda poor, though they do have enough manpower to cater everyone but sadly it’s kinda slow in service.

⭐️overall experience was great💚 highly recommended due to cheap but quality foods❤️

The staff was friendly, some were accommodating, others were a tad bit forgetful. We had to ask more that once at times.

We really loved the meat. It was tasty. The sides were tasty aswell, but there were others that I didn't like. The rice wasn't sticky rice, I didn't like it that much.

What I admired about it was that, despite the long line/wait, they made it a point that the meat was ready at your table when you settle down.

A very underrated restaurant. The meat is so great but the best part (also my favorite) is the cheese dipping. Also, the staff are helpful and great. Totally recommend it

Been here multiple times. The staffs were so nice and accommodating. The food only cost 299php with Free Ice Cream after,that was for their Summer Promo Offer. The side dishes were delicious and the place was small at first but they already expand their dining area which is good to accommodate lots of customers. I’ll keep coning back. I loooove Seaoul,definitely!

We waited for 1 hour but it's worth the wait. I would've given 5 if their air-conditioning is good and their table is much bigger. We are 4 and we had a hard time. Good thing that before we eat, all are already served. Will come back again if there is an opportunity.

This is the second korean resto that we tried and featured in our vlog. Went here when they’re still on soft opening. The food is great, they use charcoal grill to cook the meat. Back then they only have unli pork samgyupsal, side dish and drinks. And now they have unli beef and chicken as well. Good food and great value for money. That’s why we always frequent this resto if we have korean bbq cravings. :)

It really is a value for money. For only 299 you get unlimited pork and chicken with cheese sauce. The pork and chicken is tasty. But they really need to improve their service. The service was a bit slow but tolerable since the staffs were nice and will do their best to satisfy you. I've been here twice and I can say that it's worth it. 😁😁😁

My groupmates and I had a biglaan lunch out and my boss recommended this place. We arrived at 12nn and surprisingly, we were the first customers. There were 12 of us and since the area upstairs with long tables are not yet available, we were seated sa baba na lang in three separate tables. We chose the unlimited beef, pork and chicken inclusive of sides, soup, veggies, drink, sauces and rice for 399 with free ice cream. Value for money korean grill because they serve really tasty meats and they have fast service also whenever we ask for refills. Contrary to the other reviews here with negative feedbacks, we were totally satisfied during our stay and we enjoyed the dining experience. Starting from the parking space, easily got seated and so on. Will definitely come back. 😊

So love the place and the food! even though my favorite egg is not included in the sidish it's still ok because the unlimited meat is already cheap. I like the samgyupsal and their sauce. Very tasty! I've been here for about three times. And i will definitely going back plus the staffs are very accomodating and fast.

If you are a Kpop fanatic and you love samgyeopsal, this is the right place for you.

5 for the place. The place is cozy. Not smoky because they have individual exhaust pipes per table. The utility personnel makes sure the floor is tidy due to the oil splatters from grilling. And they are using charcoals for grilling (new to me since I got used of grilling using butane gas stoves). If the charcoal heat is going low, kindly ask them to replace it. They have flatscreen tvs where they play Kpop mvs. We purposely sat on the side where the tv is located.

5 for the crews. They are all easy to approach, super accommodating and you can request what Kpop mv you want to play. They greet people coming and going in sync which is really cute. They all have great smile while serving.

5 for the food. The food is limited since they only serve meats (pork, chicken and beef) but they have 15 choices of meat to choose from (5 variants per type of meat). I personally love the gochujang-marinated samgyeopsal. I am not sure if they have a limited time but we stayed for almost 2 and a half hours. And better to grab a bottle of soju with you.

This is a very recommended place to eat samgyeopsal while enjoying Kpop (with the crews lol!).

Was looking for a go-to korean barbeque place so my friend suggested that she knows a good one just nearby. We tried it here and it exceeded my expectations. The queuing took only about 5-10 minutes, compared to other unli samgyupsal place this is very fast.

They have a variety of pork, beef and chicken. The sides was just okay but the meat especially their marinated ones are delicious.
Definitely a legit unli korean barbaque place with attentive staff.

We went here on the 31st of March after coming from Imus, Cavite and we were actually searching for Korean Restaurants that were still open ‘til 2AM. Luckily, I saw in Facebook that I Love Seoul was open until 2:30AM and the reviews coming from other people that their service & foods were good, which I instantly realized they were actually right.

We’ve waited for like 10 minutes only, since we arrived 12PM on a Saturday night. They were really clear in explaining the promos and the prices.

Since we availed only the P299 promo that includes Unlimited Pork + Chicken, Unlimited Side Dishes & Soup, 1 serving of Lettuce & Rice, and 1 Iced Tea, it was really totally worth it and affordable. You could add P50 if you want to make your lettuce, rice & iced tea to be unlimited. The side dishes were also flavorful & tasty that delighted each one of us while eating.

While eating, the crews that were serving us were really accommodating, friendly, and has initiative. Whenever we would like to refill the side dishes & the unlimited pork & chicken, they’re always fast & were very easy to talk with. Also, they’re approachable & I appreciate them smiling while serving us.

For the place, I was surprised that they had 2nd floor (because whenever I visit Korean Restaurants, mostly, they don’t have one). I also would like to commend their television that shows music videos/live performances of KPOP groups (because I’m a fan of different groups) but since we were at the second floor, we can’t watch it so we’re just listening the songs coming from the TV.

The promo we got was only included in the March promo so the price, the availability, and/or the promo itself may change. You could check their FB page or their zomato for further announcements or new promos.

I’ll recommend this place to other people especially to KPOP fans out there who likes to jam to their favorite Korean groups while enjoying eating Korean food. It really feels like you’re in South Korea (lol). Also, to other food lovers out there & those who are interested in affordable, delicious, and are craving Korean dishes. The place is accessible as well to those who are living near QC and Manila.

Pork and side dishes are good but the place is very hot, electric fans are irritating because it is near my face but I have no choice since the place is small but it's all good since the food is 👌👍😋. Also liked the loud korean music hehe

Since we were 7, it took an hour before we finally had a seat inside. Kinda long waiting time but the good thing is that, the waiters were very accommodating and the service is good so it makes the waiting time "worth the wait".

WORTH IT. Sobrang sulit.

We wondered why they have low ratings but we still ate and we were overly satisfied with how accommodating the staff and even the owner/manager are. Before we were seated, the table is set which is clever on their part. The refilling of the servings were fast. In fact, we didn't need to ask to get our refills. We would definitely recommend.

I was glad that they have renovated the place it is not smoky anymore they already have an exhaust unlike the past few times that we've been here. Their meat tastes like the usual meat nothing special but their sauce tastes good. They also changed their menu they now have package 1 to 3(i think?) and still unli side dish but they only serve 1 serving of lettuce and iced tea unless you upgraded to bottomless drinks and unli lettuce which is quite confusing because we only upgraded for unli lettuce but we were charged for additional 100 plus the unli lettuce(96php) we didnt have the chance to ask them since we were in a hurry and they didn't gave back our receipt after our payment but i think they have mistaken us for another customer.
The staffs were also accommodating to us they were very attentive to their customers. One thing i didn't like about this place is their loud music which is quite annoying because we have to shout at each other while talking. I think it is best to pick your seat upstairs since the music is only coming from downstairs.

I love going to this place! I always order the unli samgyupsal for 299 and although there is a time limit for an hour and a half, we manage to finish 10 plates, there are a lot of servers so you will not have to wait for your meat to be delivered again. For me this is one of the most affordable and best place to eat day or night. I will surely come back and enjoy their company and their korean mtvs on the wall. I love coming here because of the quality of the pork and their lettuce had some sweet "dressing" and recently they added chopped garlic to it, which is amazing! 
 Of course since this is a small space people have to wait in line to be called but it is not really an issue as people come and go fast and they have wifi :) So you will not be bored.

If you're looking for a cheap korean restaurant with unlimited samgyeopsal (pork only), I will probably recommend this place. The side dishes were so good, especially the odeng. You can refill the odeng once only and that makes me sad. The staffs were very accomodating. The only thing I've noticed is that the place is airconditioned but you cannot feel it unlike with other korean restaurant.

We enjoyed their unli samgyupsal with unli servings of side dishes and iced tea. Thou it was only for 1 and a half hour it was very satisfying to eat here. Service was also great. They refill everything as fast as they can. There were also 2 TVs for viewing KPOP music videos to enjoy watching while eating. But the place is kinda small. Hope they would have a bigger place to serve more customers. But overall I recommend this.

Food was good, but their kitchen was kinda messy. But there's always room for improvement. I hope they would add more side dishes and develop good service, too. I loved their marinated chicken. All in all, it was a nice experience. KBBQ is ❤

We ate here with my cousins and we loved it!
FOOD - 5 star
The pork belly was just the right thickness! Not too thin and the side dishes are really good too! Kimchi was so good especially if you eat it along with the lettuce, kimchi and pork. They have anchovies which adds saltiness, sweet potato to refresh your taste and meat balls. Also unli iced tea!
STAFF - 5 star
Very friendly and accomodating. Once they see you are out of ice tea they will ask if you would like a refill same goes with the pork. Sometimes you need to get their attention specially if its full of people and they will attend to you once you call them.
PLACE - 4 star
Good place but expect to sweat while grilling and eating because of the heat.

Definitely recommended and will surely go back.
