    This is by far the best Korean Samgyup I’ve had. Like everything complements well with each other, to their side dishes, dips and meat.

    They offer a variety of samgyeopsal meat cuts and flavors. Side dishes are good. Cheese is excellent! Though I would recommend that they use a stove for the grill instead of the charcoal they are using, to lessen the smoke coming out. Overall a great experience eating in this place! 🥩🍖🥓🔥

    The Price for PWD is Php 699.00 instead of Php 599.00. Please see photo as proof. Since the price is higher for PWD, then the 20% discount from the Vat exempt sale is lesser than it should really be. Please do not be a victim like me. Check all your receipts for fair charges. Ask the stores why the price for the PWD is higher than the regular.

    This restaurant still offers a very competitive price for good food. Though the lines can get too long the food is worth it. Either you get there early before the dinner rush or dont go there too hungry. The saying "patience is a virtue" is very appllicable when you need something from the waiters. Place also needs a redesign to have a more cleaner and inviting look.

    Unlimited pork & beef with unlimited rice and lemonade for Php 499. It's worth every penny. I also liked the idea of using charcoal grill to add some smoky flavor.

    The service was POOR. We couldn't enjoy our dining experience due to slow service of food. We ordered something and waited for more than 5 minutes or to the point that we need to re order it again. It seems like they prioritize the people near the service area than the rest of the place. I've been to various restaurants alike, but I've never experienced a poor service like this.

    The place is great so as the foods. You must come early to reserve your spot because there will be a lot of people who will come just to taste their food.

    Best meat, best side dishes and sauce. But cooking after 30mins gave the cooked meat a flavor like the smell of gasoline.

  • 2/5 Patria Carina M. 1 year ago on Google
    Food quality is just all right, worth the price if you eat a lot. I however recommend just getting the plain flavored ones and dip them in the sauces. Service is sooooo slow! Seriously. Even their grills aren’t that hot, so it takes so long to cook their meat.

    One of the more consistent samgyup branches I've been to. Great meat and side dishes. Service can be a bit slow at times but the staff are kind. The place can feel a bit humid.

    this place is really relaxing and near train station also there are variety of meats and side dishes that makes it worth the price 🥰💞 i enjoyed eating and the duration is 2 hours and worth 549 per person which is for unlimited food 🥰💞 with Korean music and vibes

    Saw some bad reviews and I also ate at this branch a few times to see for myself and true enough, their service is too slow. Makaka-tatlong follow up ka before they can serve your order. They never changed. Won’t eat at this branch ever again.

    THEY SCAMMED MY GRANDPARENTS Regular price is 599, but THEY SAID if you are senior the price is 699. They gave their ID to get the 20% discount for seniors, but they gave a higher price???? And their service is so poor that you won't even call it service, it should be called torture. Some customers cooked their meat to our table because some tables have no gas on their stoves

    This is my favorite place of all the restos offering samgyups. Employees are very accommodating. Thank you for the wonderful service and delicious foods.

  • 2/5 Seph P. 6 months ago on Google
    Pros: tasty and fresh food. Nice atmosphere. Cons: Slow and poor service. We have been getting the attention of almost all servers but to no avail. We were out of food for around ~30 minutes. Overall, this experience really tested our patience. Update: even the billout took sooooo longgggggg.

    The best unlimited Korean BBQ buffet ever! They have good meat and appetizers. Their rice is hot when served and furnitures used match such Korean style restaurants found in Korea. Service is good but sometimes slow yet enough for your food to digest. The place is just eady to find and this is the best Korean buffet I've ever tried! Hands down to this restaurant!

    We went there may queue pero we waited for 5 minutes lang kasi mabilis system nila, there's a part of the place na under renovation but it doesn't minimize the samgyup experience. Good service and excellent products pa rin as always.

    Finally ate at Samgyupsalamat after years of reading about its affordability and great spread. Enjoyed the good food with the great company of balikbayan friends.

👍 Excellent Food The food is very promising, from outside, it looked like an ordinary place as they do not really invest in renovation or repair. I guess it's their way of saying that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. We tried the restaurant since we're running out of options as it's getting...
