Service 5/5
Food 4/5
This isn’t our first time dropping by for some midnight snacks at Korean J Grill. They’re open ’til 3AM, and they do serve some booze to go with a plate or two of Sampgyupsal. And they serve plenty enough and a variety of sidedishes; And they are refillable!
In just a week, we've been to two different Korean Restaurants. And I guess we were here to redeem our last “Korean food-venture”. We ordered too many carbos and too little protein in our meal that in the end, it was filling BUT not really fulfilling at that moment. Our conclusion, we needed at least a plate of Samgyupsal - the plate which we kind of backed off from at the other resto (we regret not ordering one!:( ) - and we're getting it here!
1. Samgyupsal - If you’re not so much into unli-meat but you still dig a plate or two of it, then I guess this place is enough to satisfy your meat-craving. Although I felt that our serving was more of fats than the meat itself, which was a little bit disappointing (fortunately, it was a night time so we didn’t dwell on it as much). The Samgyupsal was served with eggs on the side, and a little piece of squash - that too was quite disappointing. We didn’t know that a grilled thin squash would taste so good! Too bad I wasn’t able to ask if the squash was unli… or not?
2. Haemultang/Seafood Soup - Honestly, I wouldn’t have mind the soup served upon ordering had I known this Seafood Soup would taste sooo good! What I liked about it was that it didn’t have the usual fishy taste nor smell. It’s two thumbs-up for me!
Not really into unli-meat so single orders here are just quite right. Price, service, and location are okay. Side dishes could use improvement though. Fish cakes and garlic spinach maybe?
Our go-to korean resto in tomas morato! Even though the unlimited samgyupsal restaurants are growing around the metro, this place still holds the best meat experience even if thy do not offer unlimited meats. I cannot count how many times i still choose this place over the other unli meat places.
It has always been a tradition to eat at Korean J every Friday night after work. I always order the grilled beef. That would be enough for me. The soup that comes with it is really good, plus. Unlimited banchan! Although most of the staff were pleasant, the lady on the heavy side will always be giving us that tired and sungit service.
if you're craving for korean food, go to Korean J 👍
.
we usually eat there 11pm onwards. 1hr drive from our place is worth it especially if we're craving for Korean Food. The side dishes are all OK. super love their kimchi, soup, and their egg. ❤️ I love the idea that they offer ala carte menu. (we're after the taste and not the volume) Their wagyu beef is one of our favorite as well as their japchae. We've been here countless times and we're going back there again and again. Price worthy👍
Korean Restaurants are a hit nowadays. With the booming K-pop culture in the Philippines now, it’s not a new thing that we become interested not only with Koreanovelas and Korean novelty items but also the Food this country can influence. There was one restaurant in mind when we set out our hunt in QC area. Unfortunately, we were 16th in line! No way were gonna wait that long. So we decided to just go for the next available restaurant nearby. Then we came across this one as we are lucky enough to get the last parking spot available.
Was here for a first date and was also my first time trying out korean barbecue. We ordered beef and pork and I gotta admit that I got full pretty quickly from all the potato side dish that I've eaten 😂 It was an overall great experience for a first timer and I'll definitely be coming back for more.
Ambiance is nice and relaxing because there’s no loud kpop songs compared to other korean restaurants. The server will also help you cook your food if it’s your first time which is great. Cleanliness 8/10. Food is fine. I liked their kimbab so i’ll give it a 7/10. Overall, we had a good time.
