Arrival
Because we arrived a little bit too early, we had to wait quite a while before they opened their doors. We made our reservation through Eatigo, and it turned out to be a relatively affordable option. After confirming that our reservation was correct, they showed us to our table.
There are three separate dining rooms in the restaurant, making it perfect for more intimate groups. Elegant and contemporary tables feature cutting-edge smokeless grilling equipment for a pleasant meal without the smoke.
It’s a nice touch that you can watch as your food is being prepared for the grill right from this spot.

The Food
We prefer ala carte, but for just Php 1,499 ($26) you can try their ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT Korean barbecue feast.
We were then served an assortment of dips and appetizers. We are also provided with Danmuji, which is Korean yellow pickled radish.
Korean Side Dishes (Banchan)
The banchan is excellent, particularly the sausages, and it’s FREE with Unli Refill! They serve the following for us: Eggplant Mushroom Soy Sauce (Muchim), Kimchi (Napa Cabbage), Korean-style Spam & Eggs (Buchim), Sausage Yachae Bokkeum (Sso-Ya), Cucumber Kimchi (Oi Kimchi).
After a while, They finally began to serve our food. The first dish that was brought out was Haemuljjim, which is a traditional Korean hot sauce that is mixed with a broad range of seafood. Php 1,800 ($32).
The next dish is called So-Galbi Jjim, and it is a Korean braised beef short ribs dish that is cooked in a sweet and savory Korean sauce. It is soft, full of taste, and highly addictive.
In my opinion, you absolutely have to try some of their Galbi Jjim. Php 1,400 ($25).
After that, we gave their Jjampong a try, which is a Korean noodle soup with a spicy kick. It features an abundance of seafood. Php 800 ($14)
The next dish, Galbitang, is what I always get when I go to a Korean restaurant. Beef short ribs, stewing beef, radish, onions, and other ingredients constitute the foundation of this particular Korean soup, or guk. Goryeo’s galbitang is made with a lot more genuine ingredients than any I’ve had at other restaurants (to date of this post). Php 1,100.00 ($20)
And of course, the savory Korean pancakes known as Haemul Pajeon, which are my absolute favorite and are cooked to perfection here. Php 800.00 ($14)
It is now time to begin grilling the meat that we ordered, which includes the following:
• Dwaeji Moksal (Pork) – Php 900.00 ($16)
• Samgyeopsal (Pork) – Php 900.00 ($16)
• Toshisal (Beef) – Php 1,600.00 ($28)
You can make this high-quality meat even more enjoyable to consume after grilling by wrapping it with their free Ssam (leaf vegetables).
