San Sung

I'm really stuffed. Somewhere down Burgos St. is a Korean restaurant called San Sung (sounds like a phone brand). It's like right smack at the middle of a small Korean town in Makati. At 9pm, this place is still bustling. Then again, it was a Friday night after all, and Burgos street is teeming with bars, the sleezy ones included.My friend is crazy about Korean culture and dragged us at this place. The place looks really simple. Very plain looking, but their menu is awesome and prices are reasonable too. We ordered the Samgyupsal, Dulsot Bibimbap, Spicy Octopus, and Tteokbokki.I didn't find anything special about the Bibimbap but I liked that the staff cooked the meat for us. They have this rectangular pan and placed this raw meat with some garlic cloves. We wrapped our meat on some lettuce and it was really good. I enjoyed eating the free Banchan though, particularly the Spinach and the fish cake.Our table was overflowing with food and for 3 girls, we tried hard to finish it. The tteokbokki had a unique taste with some chewy noodles. Our friend thought it was weird as she's not into the contrast of the sweetness and saltiness in one dish but I liked it. I loved the chewy tteokbokki and the noodles' texture. The contrast of flavors was a good combination for me. The Samgyupsal was ok, maybe I'm not so much into meat but I prefer the spicy Octopus. The Octopus seemed tougher than a squid but still good.It was one heavy meal and we were stuffed. I'd say this place gives value for your money. The staff were attentive too. Perhaps, the thing I didn't like was the appearance of the restaurant. Looks a bit old. I also don't like seeing feet up on the chair, there were some people who were doing that. Anyway, I think they own the place so they can do anything they want. Still an eyesore but they were friendly though and really grateful to their customers.

I live near here and as far as I know, this korean resto used to be a korean store. It was my first time to dine here, we ordered soybean paste stew and grilled mackerel. They offer unli 10 banchan and all of them were good. Staffs were attentive and accommodating. They even apologized when the refill for banchan served late. Pricey but it's worth every penny. I'll be back here to try their other dishes. Keep up the good work! 😁😁😁BEST JJAJANGMYEON I HAD! MUST TRY!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!
