Once the waitstaff understood that we were there to eat our hearts out, they kept the bottomless accouterments coming! At one point, we had 4 different waitstaff stopping by our table every five minutes to bring us more of something delicious. Everything was fresh and good quality. Know before you go: 1. Make sure you know what's included in your order and what's extra. The waitstaff is more than happy to help make sense of it all. 2. Come wearing stretchy pants! You will undoubtedly eat more than you intended! 3. Bring your own hand wipes. The paper towels provided just don't cut it! I mean, it's BBQ! Plan on getting messy. Between the healthy portions, attentive waitstaff, and the casual atmosphere that teeters on gritty, we had an amazing culinary experience! I would definitely come back to this restaurant.

This is the reason why meat tastes better and tastier. We are glad to have a host family while I'm visiting the Philippines who knows good food, like honest to goodness must places to eat. One day, we were brought to this place right in the heart of Manila. The place might be small but the dining experience was gigantic. We enjoyed an AYCE for Php 580 with unlimited choices of pork and beef. The choices were so many that we just opted to get all beef. So many also were the banchans. When the server brought them out and laid in our table, there was no space left uncovered with these tiny plates and bowls of side dishes. Aside from that, we also requested for the steamed egg and tofu soup. Best part of the meal? You don't do the grilling because the server cooks all the meat for you. Ha! That's nothing unheard of here in the US. Overall, excellent service not just by the server but the entire staff. Definitely worth more than the money you pay for. I will definitely come back on my next trip to the Philippines.

I loved the simple decor, even the exhaust pipes looked cool. Staff were laid back, friendly, and did a good job taking care of us. They don't offer unlimited samgyeopsal like at other KBBQ joints; they focus on quality rather than quantity. I would rather be filled with delicious food than stuffed with mediocrity; life is too short! WE ORDERED: - Han Pan Samgyeobsal (grilled Pork belly) - Bulgogi - seasoned beef - rice We were first served the complimentary, refillable banchan (side dishes) which were tasty: a great way to start. When we were out of the hangry zone, our server brought out the pork belly which had many other items that came with it (please see picture). She grilled up everything and we devoured every little bit. My favorite wrap to use for the meats was the Korean Perilla leaf (mint family) which was aromatic as well as tasty. Make sure to use the chili oil and paste to amp up the flavors. Our group of four had a very enjoyable dinner. I am looking forward to coming back, and would definitely tell all my friends. TIP - make sure they turn off the fire when your food is slightly undercooked because the grill plate stays very hot and will continue cooking your food even when the fire is off.

It took us awhile to forgive Samgyupsalamat. At their Kapitan Tikong branch months ago, we were…read morevery unsatisfied with the tough meat they served us. We used to be regular customers there so we knew our meat. Our visit at this new branch redeemed us as regular customers again. We were so happy to be surprised by the extra space they have at the back; you'd think the branch is small if you only took a peek from the outside. It was a bit warm at first but they adjusted the aircon later on. Walls were painted black even in the restroom. Overall place looked simple and had that hole-in-the-wall vibe. Cleaning the front windows looks necessary though it amusingly matches the restaurant vibe. Service was good since they always got what we needed at fair waiting times. Refills came back loaded with food and the water pitcher really kept the service water cold. The free veggie leaves, dips, side dishes, steamed egg, and soup were impressive to the eyes and tongue. Be careful with the steamed egg because the bowl was insanely hot! We ordered two meats ala carte and they were excellent both in texture and flavor! To the management team: Thank you for impressing us, and we can only hope and wish you maintain the good quality of your food and service. Forget what I said about the windows; they still pass! :p

Between the 599 and 499 options, the 599 is definitely a better deal. We basically tried all the meats, and would advise that you get the beef platter as it comes with five different flavoured meats. The quality of meat is better than many others (in my opinion). The cheese is sumptuous, but their kimchi isn't great. Overall, I'd recommend the restaurant especially if you've grown tired of all the rest.

Once seated, we were offered some water and the menu. I was a bit sad to see that there were only 10 items on their Unlimited 2 menu, 5 beef and 5 pork items. I was used to kbbq in the States, which had more than 20 items on their basic set. All their meats were marinated well so I was happy about that. They also had some lettuce and some sauce that you can eat the meat with. The thing that stood out to me was their ventilation system. It was directly above the grill and it we can adjust how high we want it to be or how close we want it to be on the grill.

I had my very first legit Korean food experience at Metro Seoul in Don Antonio. The area is…read morepractically a haven of various Korean restaurants, eateries and even Korean schools. I say this particular restaurant is legitimate because aside from its Korean owners, the food that they serve are cooked with fresh and prime ingredients. Sure, there are a lot more Korean restaurants that are cheaper in the area, but Metro Seoul, although a bit pricey, is definitely worth it if you're looking for an authentic Korean dining experience. Their menu with all its choices is really tempting, but remember that you need not to order too much, especially if you're just dining in 2s or 4s because they have large servings and a huge selection of side dishes that comes unlimited. I was with a friend and two others; we only had a small pot of 'Kimchi Hot Pot' (P700.00) and 400g of 'Grilled Back Neck of Beef' (P800.00) that we didn't even finish because we were already full. I've tried a few other Korean restaurants but what I like most with Metro Seoul is that they always keep the quality and quantity of their dishes at its best serving.

Interior's another thing; very well-lit, inviting with a sunset palette and lively vibe despite us being the first customers. The crowd started building up later on and when we left, a number of tables were already filled. FOOD Since this was a first-time visit, we focused on the pork options since there were already 8 to choose from (and 2 for chicken). Unfortunately, we had no more room for chicken either because we were SO FULL from all the delicious meats and banchan (side dishes). Skirt Meat and Rack were the most meaty while the Pork Belly, if cooked right, would give ya a nice chicharon experience! Cheeks were actually cute and very interesting to eat. We made sure to cut them into smaller pieces midway, because they are curled up like me when I sleep sideways. Gotta get all angles cooked! Cooking, overall, was so fun and we took turns doing it so the other could have more time to eat; teamwork! Free spicy soup was available but I passed on that and focused more on the fish cake-type of banchan plus the cheese dip for the meats. This place offers very satisfying options!
