A Korean charcoal-grill restaurant on Friendship Highway Koreatown in Angeles, serving mainly Iberico pork. It is the Philippine branch of a Korean barbecue franchise and opened in January 2024, and it got popular by word of mouth among Korean expats and travelers right after opening. It is open 24 hours, so there are also reviews from people who stopped by in the early morning or at dawn.
A separate charcoal brazier is set up beside the table, and the staff grill and cut the meat and put it on your plate. Many reviews say you only need to focus on eating. Several reviews say there was almost no smoke or smell indoors thanks to the ventilation system. Some reviews also say that because the grill is set apart from the seats, it felt less worrying to eat with children. Inside the hall there are several rooms used for family meals or gatherings, and several reviews say they were not charged extra for using a room. Side dishes such as potato strip pancakes, japchae, acorn jelly, and kimchi come along with doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew). Many reviews say the side dishes are refilled and water is served in bottled water.
The most recommended menu items are Iberico flower pork neck and galbi-sal (rib meat). Many reviews say they are juicy and tender, better than pork belly. Premium Set A comes with two cuts of Iberico, flower pork belly, and a flying fish roe rice ball. It is a set for two, but several reviews say it was plenty for two or three people. When the meat ran short, many reviews say they added marinated LA galbi or had steamed egg or cold noodles alongside. However, some reviews say the meat is pricier than at local restaurants, so it was disappointing for the price. Several reviews also point out poor hygiene, saying they saw bugs during the meal.
According to Google Maps popular times, it is crowded around 6–9 PM every day, and busiest around 7 PM on Saturdays and 8 PM on Fridays. Among weekdays, Tuesday evening is relatively quiet. Some reviews mention waiting when it was crowded, so many people reserve a room in advance. Some reviews say they made a reservation through Facebook. Extra bowls of rice are charged separately. Some reviews say items they hadn't ordered were added to the bill, so it's a good idea to check the receipt before paying.
