Samgyupsalamat - Santa Mesa Heights

If you see the photos you'll know that we frequent this place in Banawe. The only branch that's worth going to in my opinion! Food - 9/10 beef selections we're really good! You can choose up to 5 different cuts and flavors. I didn't order pork as it's not something me and my nephews enjoy. Service - 8/10 the guards up to the kitchen crew were all smiles even on their peak hours. You can seen that they love what they do. Only comment is that they tend to double order on some tables, i think they need to be attentive to each other. Food wasted is money thrown in my book. Ambiance - 7/10 typical Koran bbq place. The chairs were small but it's okay. Paying 499 for unlimited servings of Korean beef if totally worth it in this place!

If you are in the food industry cleanliness is very important sadly this restaurant didn't put that in their priority list. Their meat and the marinade is good. They have several unli appetizer and they also serve unli soup, i cant remember if rice is unli. For the price it is sulit. But the bad service, cleanliness and sanitation destroys everything. They only have 1 attentive server. The rest are so-so. One even walks dragging his shoe and I asked him to lift it when stepping/walking so the dirt doesn't go to the air, he even answered the shoe is big. Wow. If this place has a good manager they can fix the attitude of these people. Wait till you see a kitchen staff get water.. in slippers with mud on their feet to lower leg. Will make you wonder how they prepare your food AND HOW CLEAN THEIR KITCHEN IS. Rug by water dispenser is also dirty. Walls dirty. Their dirty tornado mop and trashcans are visible and untidy. Glass window panels are so oily.. you can even write your name. Their reason is the grill but that is no excuse, they still should clean glass window daily. There are flies, surprised? ???? This resto needs to seriously put a cleaning system in place. They need it. I wonder if someone in management or the owners read reviews here. Well... as diners let's point out bad practices so that we know that we are served right and we put clean food in our mouths. We pay them anyway. Health is wealth!

Samgyupsalamat is an unli korean grill your own meat restaurant and what sets them apart is the variety of marinated meat available. They use coal instead of electric or gas to cook your meat. Waited around an hour and 30 minutes before we got to eat. Either because it was newly opened or it was on a weekend. Priced at 499php per person for unlimited pork and beef with no time limit, this is one of the affordable korean bbq restaurants around. Side dishes are also unlimited, including: 1. Rice 2. Korean soup (mild spicy) 3. Egg omelette 4. Radish salad 5. Lettuce (2 kinds) 6. Potatoes 7. Spring onion salad 8. Onions in mild soy sauce Since orders are unli, try all of the meat available. For some reason the gochujang marination was redder than yangnyum, but don't be fooled. The gochujang tastes like barbeque, sweet with spices. The yangyum was more on the spicier side for me. Bul-jib was seasoned with just salt and pepper so it's refreshing for the palate when you've had marinated meat for awhile. Dae-pae and beef samgyup were normal, oilier than the other meat maybe due to the fat content but still yummy. Service depends on the waiters. There are some who are really alert, but there are also forgetful ones. If your grilling pan gets too black/burnt already, feel free to have it changed. We had ours changed twice.
