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.

The meat is so soft and tender. Their sauces just make it all the more delicious. My family and I always order so much extra because we just can't stop. I recommend you start off with their cabbage salad that has a really good Asian type dressing. They have a good number of kinds of meats and seafood that they'll give to you marinated. The grill is set right in front of you and you cook it to your liking. You never have to worry about smoke and exhaust here. Their machines are well maintained. Its so good here! You have to try it!

From that date onward, we knew we were connected for our addiction for a) Pork and b) Korean food! :D Seoul Galbi is located along General Luna Street near A. Venue. Tip: park your car at A. Venue since parking is limited and just walk to the restaurant (enter the street after Wendy's). It's an authentic cooked-at-the-table Korean charcoal barbecue restaurant. The meat plates and dishes we order are priced at Php220-400. We always order the Samgyeopsal, Wine Samgyeop, Chadolbagi and Galmaegisal for our meat. Additional dishes are the Steamed Egg, Kimchi Jigae, and Mul-Naengmyeon. The banchan is unlimited! The servers will cook all the meat for you but, I prefer to cook it myself. I love to make the pork extra crispy! Hehe! Their meat is always tender, fatty, and seasoned just right. You have to order their Steamed Egg! Don't ask why, just try it. Also, I always drink Makeoli when I'm here. Even if Carlo doesn't drink, I will drink it all by myself! If you want the authentic Korean charcoal grill experience at a very reasonable price, this is the place to go in Makati! Love, Love, Love this place!

If I could give this zero stars I would. Just goes to show…read moreyou that you never want to base going places on two online reviews. Service was horrible, beef was bland with no seasoning, portion sizes tiny. Bottomline..a huge rip off. The steamed egg came out 35 mins after the rest of the meal, and it was mostly liquid. Been to Korean BBQ all over the world and this was the worst I've had. The owners explanation for bland and plain meat was "the kitchen got busy" with no thought of rectifying it.

It's my go-to food when I've had a long week or I just want a very good, filling meal. Korean food = Joey will have a happy tummy! :3 Matgalne specializes in Unlimited Barbecue + Buffet. For lunch, the buffet is only Php349; for dinner, it's only Php449. I always go here for dinner so that I don't have to worry about how long I can eat. For the meat options, you get the samgyupsal, chadolbagi (beef bacon), yangnyum galbi (pork rib with special sauce) and bulgogi. I personally just order the Samgyupsal and Chadolbagi because I don't like switching the grill pan too often. With the unlimited meat for the gril, you also have the Korean dish buffet which includes a station where make your own Bibimbap. The dishes I recommend are the Fried Sweet Potato Balls, Korean Fried Chicken, Fried Japchae, Kimbap and the different Kimchis! The staff is very accommodating and they make sure that your plates of meat are always full. They also cook for you and change the grill pans when they see that your meat is not cooking fast enough. :) My happy place :)

While the restaurant may not be the cleanest, the food is definitely top-notch! How can we tell? Aside from the fact that we eat a lot of Korean Food, this place is filled with actual Koreans all-the-time! There's no better sign of quality!
