    One of the best Korean restaurants in Korean Town, Malate! The food is super authentic. They have wide variety of authentic Korean dishes. The atmosphere is very pleasant. They have alfresco dining as well as a cold, private room, if you want something a bit private and quiet. The one that I really appreciate the most is the fantastic customer service. The energy of the staff are awesone! Very friendly staff, very fast service, everything is just excellent! This place is perfect for dining with friends or family. This place is definitely a 5/5. I would highly recommend it. We will surely go back soon.

    Dined here twice. Excellent choice for people who prefer quality vs. the usual mediocre eat-all-you-can meat fests. Pros: Al fresco dining. Best selection of ban chan (side dishes) we've had locally; they also change it up quite often, and all of it have been good or at least executed with effort. Rice and bottled water are included, unlike other Korean joints which usually offer these as a separate order. The waitstaff try their best even if they are sometimes understaffed, so please tip generously if you can. Cons: Soup gets cold easily because of the aluminum container used. Grill is charcoal powered, but the cooking surface does not have holes for the meat fat to drip down and vaporize which adds the much coveted "grilled flavor" to meats; to be fair though, this feature is somewhat rare— only one KBBQ nearby in Macapagal Blvd who has this. Tips: If going for Korean BBQ, the galbi sal is a solid choice. Their LA galbi is sliced a little too thin for our tastes.

    Sikhye, a traditional Korean drink, makes you feel nostalgic for your home country. You can enjoy a variety of Korean dishes. You can have a casual party in the outdoor garden, and the food is delicious.

    Got that asian home-y vibe where business and personal life just blend in one house. Food is delicious.

    Exquisite service. Loved the attentiveness and generosity of the owners and staff. I appreciate the intimate al fresco dining area inside. The soups and stews are huge, and can feed 3-4 people! The mackerel is excellent! I loved that they even gave us free iced coffee before leaving! My only concern is that they give us free bottled water. All that plastic!

    First time we dined here and we immediately loved the ambiance. If you’re looking for an authentic Korean place that is quiet, chill/relax vibe, look no further. This is it! This is more of a quality over quantity kind of restaurant. Loved the minimalist outside setup. The service of their entire team. How authentic their dish are. My wife and I have been to Seoul, and everything we have tried here so far taste like authentic Korean dish. I’m too picky with kimchi, their Kimchi was one of the best. Even the sides. I cant get enough talking what I love here the most. Anyway, of course, highly recommended and will be back here again soon.

    Restaurant built in a old style house. Atmosphere isn't impressive but the food is good and served in large portion.

👍 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.
