Sino ba namang hindi natatakam sa Samgyeopsal? Sobrang nagkalat ang mga korean grill restaurants around Metro Manila. Today we tried Soban K-Town Grill in SM Megamall. Medyo hesitant ako nung una kasi naman sanay ako na unlimited lahat, but for this restaurant, unlimited side dish lang at yung meat ay per set or ala carte. But then we still give it a try.
I like the mixed rustic and industrial theme of the restaurant. Unlike with other korean grill restaurant I have been to, this place is instagrammable and light ambiance. Sa service naman, ang bilis naserve nung order namen, staffs are very courteous at mabilis magrespond sa request namen though may part dun na nagrequest kami ng additional cheese pero di na kami nabalikan. It's just one time so it´s actually fine.
One thing they require before ordering, kung ilang pax, dapat ganun din yung set na oorderin. Like us, we are group of 7 people, 6 adults and 1 kid. Yung meal set for 4, strictly for 4 person or less lang. Kaya kinailangan namen umorder ng 2 set of group meals plus an ala carte meal para magqualify yung order namen. Medyo complicated siya unlike sa usual na korean grill na napuntahan ko which is per head lang ang bayad tapos unlimited meat na. Siguro kung di ka malakas kumaen at gusto mo lang talaga isatisfy yung crave for Samgyeopsal, marerecommend ko siya. We ordered Mega Meat BBQ Set good for 2 for ₱1,000, Premium BBQ Combo Set good for 4 for ₱2,200 and Ultimate Crispy Fish Bap for ₱260.
Total of 6 unlimited side dishes per set which includes a traditional Korean egg roll omelet called Gyeran Mari, Pamuchim or salad made from fresh leeks and beans sprout tossed in Korean spices, Gamja Sarada or mashed potatoes, kimchi, lettuce, and roasted peanuts. Aside from side dish, they also served soup and rice which is unlimited too.
I tried to get a better picture kaso gutom na mga kasama ko kaya ayun lumarga na. Though unlimited ang side dishes, medyo malungkot pa rin kasi kokonti lang siya compare sa mga korean grill restaurant na napuntahan ko. Yung cheese dip nila ay may additional fee na ₱20. Yung mashed potato hindi masarap. Wala samen nakaubos ng mashed potato, puro tikim lang. Yung scrambled eggs sobrang lamig kaya ininit pa namen sa grill. Pero yung mga meat, premium quality talaga. Ang sarap ng pagkakamarinade at ang tender ng mga meat. Though yung isang small samgyupsal na inorder namen, nirequest ko na spicy pero wala akong nalasahang anghang. Yung lettuce very fresh. Yung kimchi masarap naman though for me mas gusto ko yung maanghang anghang na kimchi.
Though namahalan ako plus di ako ganun nasatisfy kasi I have tried other korean grill restaurant na din, we still enjoyed our food. I think that is more important, we enjoyed it.
What I like about Soban K-Town Grill...
🥩 Ambiance. Hindi ganun ka crowded yung spacing ng mga tables. They also used light colors kaya refreshing sa mata yung interior.
🥩 Courteous Staff.
🥩 Quick Service.
🥩 Premium Quality of Meat.
What I don't like about Soban K-Town Grill...
🥩 Price. Medyo namamahalan ako and I feel hindi siya worth it. Mas mahal pa binayaran namen compare sa ibang restaurant na unlimited yung meat and side dish.
🥩 Some of the side dishes. Like yung scrambled egg, di ko lang natanong kung intentional na almost frozen siya sa lamig or kelangan talaga siyang initin sa grill. Yung mashed potato na di kami nasarapan. Yung texture at yung lasa niya di talaga tugma.
🥩 Quantity. Syempre tayong mga Pinoy ang hilig naten sa unlimited so medyo nakakadismaya lang na bakit di pa sila magunlimited meat.
So my final verdict, kung ayaw mo masiyadong kumaen ng marami at gusto mo lang isatisfy yung crave mo for samgyeopsal, marerecommend ko to for you. Meron silang ala carte ng meat then add ka na lang ng side dish of your choice. Para control mo pa din yung kaen mo. Pero kung katulad mo ko na pigging out ang peg, hindi ko siya marerecommend dahil mabibitin ka lang. Medyo nakulangan din ako sa side dishes.
Well, that is my opinion and I based it on my experience. I hoped you like my review and thanks for dropping by. Check their full menu here.
