    A bit overrated. What we ordered: Unlimited Beef and Pork Upside: Meat tasted fresh, good array of side dishes, good view of Taal, spacious place, clean restroom, price includes iced tea Downside: Too much rules kill the vibe (especially on leftovers), no marinated meats, beef cuts were inconsistent (first plate was thin enough, succeeding plates were tough to eat), no canopy on the sides for when it rains (had to move inside), many huge flies Will we recommend? Maybe. We've had better. Don't know yet if this is the best in the area. Will we go back? Maybe, if we were really craving. We're curious to try other samgyup places in Tags. This one was just okay.

    We chose this place to eat our early dinner. We we're enjoying our first order when we noticed there are flies. It started from one fly until we noticed we aren't enjoying eating since there were already A LOT of flies! Like 5 flies were flying! We informed the staff at first, they said they will put candle, 10 mins past, nothing. We had to inform them again! When they came to us, one of the staff (male with lots of pimple), informed us in a not nice tone that we are dining outside. As if it was our fault that there were a lot of flies in here. No candles were given to us. They did nothing to resolve the issue. WE DON'T RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

    To be honest, the price range and the food selection are no different from other well-known samgyeopsal establishments, but they do have a great view that makes it worth it. ๐Ÿ˜…

    View was nice. Food is okay. Service is so-so. But the swarm of flies might turn off most of the guest. We requested candles on our table to ward them off but as we stay longer, they still land in some of our food. Be warned!

    We didn't get to have marinated meats. The side dishes are okay. We only got one serving of the egg side dish even when we asked for another serving. The staff are nice. The view is really nice tho.

    We recently dined at this restaurant and found the service to be okay but nothing special. The staff was polite but didn't go above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable. Additionally, we visited during dinner and unfortunately, there wasn't much to see in terms of the view. However, I recommend visiting this restaurant during the day as I've heard the view is quite stunning. Despite these drawbacks, the food was quite good and made up for the lack of exceptional service and nighttime view.

    We had our breakfast here. Their food is great for breakfast but we haven't tried the korean bbq yet. Hopefully we can go back and try it next time.

    A fun experience if the weather is right. Decently made sides and generous meat. Don't bother with the wings. Be careful because they're very particular about "leftovers". Still a recommendable place and a lovely overall experience.

    I'm giving it a two star only because it didn't met our expectation and value for money. The only good thing is it is a place to take a good shot of Taal and the ambiance is nice too. But the food is.... :/ The price was 450 for unlimited pork only and if you want cheese, you need to add 50 per serving of it, which is just a small amount of cheese, like 2 spoons only. Though it's delicious, but the price if too much. We hope that we just went to Romantic Baboy because the price was almost the same, and there, there's unli beef too and has a lot of flavors and sidedish and unli cheese!! Then it is called Mr. Kimchi but their kimchi taste like a faucet water, seriously... And the pork has a lot of small bones, it's difficult to eat. The refill of sidedish takes too long too. Hope this review helps the managment improve the quality of their service and food.

    Service was topnotch however, menu is quite lacking. For the price, they don't have any marinated meats (you only get plain meats) included in the unli menu. The sides are just okay, nothing special. Hope they update their menu for a 5-star experience! View was great though!

    Meat cuts were thick, thus, you have to wait a lil more to eat it. Overall rating is 4.5/5 Place is good at night, and maybe even great at day. The place is inside a hotel building so if you're too full, you can check in and rest.

    11/12/2023 - 4:02pm Scoring this place an over all 2/5 Service : -100000/10 staffโ€™s are rude, not accommodating and unpleasant. We were never greeted when we enter. Alot of things were not explained to us. Food : 2/10 - Food are not pleasing, the meats are chewy and blant. Not quality meats. And the worst is their kimchi has dead flies. Atmosphere : 1/10 - There are ALOT OF FLIES!!! If youโ€™ll be in the food industry always be pleasant, welcoming and serve with quality! Will never go back here!

  • 1/5 Adrian J. 6 months ago on Google
    Worst experience ever , we made a reservation because of my wife birthday, and the service that we got was nowhere what other reviews are saying. Its already dark and they didn't bother turning on the lights,staff are the worst not even attentive to their own guest.. The food? The meat is to thick and doesn't taste good it's awful..so many complaints to put in to words. Worst day!

    When we got there we were all excited because I've waited so long to eat here since I live abroad and I always see post about this restaurant. The lady who assisted us in reserving a table was nice. We requested a table where we can see the view so we waited for few minutes for them to set it up. At first we were enjoying the first servings of the meat and we requested another batch and ask if they can separate the beef from the pork because they are serving it in 1 plate only and we have a friend who is not allowed to eat pork (We ordered marinated beef and pork). the third time we ordered we asked if we can just have beef because we haven't finish the pork yet and since they are very strict with left overs and they also reminded us everytime we order that be careful with left overs. They said no and that if we order beef it will be partnered with pork automatically which they didn't inform us when we were ordering at that time we were already getting irritated. At first I was very forgiving and understanding from all the mistakes we already notice it at first but I told my friends to just enjoy dont complain anymore. First we requested spoon for the soup they forgot about it I told my friends to just drink it from the bowl. Then next we asked for pineapple juice we were initially given 2 pitcher since we are 7pax, but we didn't get it we waited 30mins. My friend have to go to their station to ask for it and they gave only 1 pitcher my friend told them if they can give 2 since they initially gave us 2 pitcher and 1 pitcher is not enough for 7pax. After that we were already iritated that we lost our appetite with all the thing happen. We are all from the hospitality industry and we know and understand if they dont immediately attend to our needs but waiting for more than 30minutes for something you requested and it didn't happen only once is unacceptable. Then here comes the bill. We avail 4+1 package and we are 7pax so we only have to pay for 6pax. When I got the bill I was a bit shocked that its 5000+ So I took out my phone and calculated it, it should only be 4242 pesos. I asked the waiter and ask how they calculated it and I show it to him how I did it in my phone he took the bill and revised it so if we didn't checked the bill we could have paid for 8pax instead of 6. After that incident I already set my mind to not give a tip anymore. They didn't even said sorry for the mistake and they were also laughing when the waiter show the other waiters the wrong bill.

    The view is amazing. The outdoorsy feels is perfect for the samgyupsal. The staffs are accommodating. Easy to find.

  • 4/5 Shoo F. 2 years ago on Google
    Its a restaurant inside a hotel in tagaytay. There are more parking slot below the road. 550 php per pax for pork and beef combo. The place is crowded during lunch time. It is best to make reservation ahead. Overviewing tables are much more occupied than those tables inside. Its an open air place whichnis good because everyone is cooking on their tables

  • 1/5 Apple 2 years ago on Google
    Worst samgyupsal place I have ever gone to in my life. First of all, the price is way too expensive for the quality that you get (cheese is charged separately at 50 php for a tiny saucer). The meat was sliced too thick and impossible to chew. It also wasn't great quality. The side dishes were so-so and the service was dismal (slow and understaffed). The place is outdated and not at all classy, the view is not worth the price difference. Will never go back again. You're better of spending your money at Romantic Baboy or Premier.

  • 2/5 Erlyn O. 2 years ago on Google
    Reception and parking attendant was ok. Food Service was bad. For 4 pax, we were only given 1 plate of meat. We requested for a refill 4x, 2 of which, my bf had to find someone to refill the plate. Yet out of those 3 attempts NO one came back. We have to settle on their side dishes for 15 minutes or more. Paid 2590++ with service charge of 180++ for 2 plates if meat in total plus the service is so poor. The pork cuts were thick and with skin! You can literally count the beef slices. And yes include the bangaw experience!

  • 1/5 Jason P. 2 years ago on Google
    They will only serve pork and beef combination, you cant order pure beef (if you get the pork-beef set). Food taste is ordinary, nothing special. Service is not good. Meat has no marinate. Meat slice is thick and big, no scissors available, and very chewy.

    Staff are friendly, good portion of serving though side dishes are limited. Liked the ambiance and cool air of Tagaytay.
