VERDICT
(based on experience)
Taste
4.5★ over 5★:
From sauce to side dishes to meats served, everything was delicious. In fact, side dish alone is worth the taste and can fill your tummy. The meat genuinely marinated makes it even tastier. The food alone can easily stand out with other Korean BBQ in the metro.
Ambiance/Location
4★ over 5★:
Easily found along Remedios circle. Parking is limited. I thought at first the restaurant was small but if you went further inside, there were still additional space to eat and it was spacious. Interior was suits the style of Korean restaurant. Surprisingly, I did not smell meat after we ate.
Service
4.5★ over 5★:
The service crew was attentive and they gladly assisted us on the process of cooking and described us what we were eating.
Value for Money
5★ over 5★:
With UNLIMITED meats and side dishes for a price of PhP499.00/PhP549.00, it was all worth the money! "Unlimited foods for a limited tummy"
