Korean Palace

#WeekdatesWithDad The bill totaled P810 but let me explain to you why it was worth it. Coming back home from a vacation in Seoul, I greatly enjoyed eating in Korean Palace because it reminded me of the homy setting and numerous family owned restaurant choices. The strong yet enhancing spicy flavors Korean food brings is what I greatly appreciated. It might be an over exaggeration to discredit Korean food because they are labeled too spicy, in my opinion it has heightened the taste of the dish. Dad ordered Galbijim, P390.I ordered dolsot bibimbap, P420. There was a lot of rice in the bibimbap that my dad didn't need to order rice for his ulam dish! Furthermore, the bowl was still sizzling so I mixed the ingredients and the beef quickly cooked with a fresh brown color! It was a wonderful and easy to eat experience for me. The Korean television also showcased some interesting topics happening in Korea.

Korean Palace was honestly a 2nd Choice to where we were going to eat and I must say, It didn't fail to impress. I had a tasteful time eating in this place. I love how the Korean Palace was able to give a perfect example of good Korean Bbq! I have to say that it made my tummy real full after the whole endeavor! It's a great place to eat with friends and family, or even by yourself, if you feel like pigging out once and a while! Korean Palace is a must eat! 👌

Korean Palace has an imposing and expressively cultural facade. A solo guard opens doors for visitors, and guides them inside. Parking is limited as it's located at the corner of Adriatico and Remedios Streets in Malate, both busy roads. Inside, the place is charming, feel very traditional, and warm. Staff are quick and friendly.

The Korean Palace has been around the Malate area for over a decade now. It is perfectly located next to Remedios Circle on the corner of Adriatico and Remedios street. I recall having eaten there as a child with my family and many relatives. So it was quite nostalgic to find myself there last night during a Malate night out with friends.It seemed smaller than before, but maybe just because I had in fact grown bigger. (Haha). I did note that they had a second floor, perhaps for more private events. The place itself had a rather comfortable and familiar vibe - it was quite homey. Since it was late in the evening, aside from our group there were only two other tables. The staff were quick to greet and hand us menus. We immediately requested a bunch of side dishes along with some extra bean sprouts and kangkong. We then ordered one plate of Bulgogi and Galbi-sal / beef ribs and three bowls of plain rice.The side dishes came right away and were a good assortment. The extras we ordered came in bigger places, which was very convenient. Aside from that, the waiter also put a heated pan with garlic on our table. After a few minutes he began cooking our meat orders right there on the table.Each dish took abou 5-10 minutes each to cook, so it was nice that by the time we had devoured the first plate of Bulgogi that the Galbi-sal was plated. I would say that the flavors were very tasty and those two orders were good for the three of us. I was completely stuffed afterwards.Our bill added up to about 1,200 or roughly P400 each. I would say that this was a good amount to spend considering how full you can actually get due to the side-dishes. I did note though that their menu did seem somewhat pricey, but the serving sizes were just right for our group.Over-all, I am giving this establishment a 4.0 for this initial experience because although the food was good, it was ordinary. I think other Korean establishments may offer somewhat better value for money. Also, despite being rather iconic for me, the place seems somewhat forgettable; otherwise, I probably would have wanted to eat there sooner. Either way, I am looking forward to going back eventually to perhaps try their Sam Gyup Sal and Bibimbap which looked pretty good. Who knows - maybe after trying that, I might re-do my review and up their rating.

If there is one Korean restaurant that I will recommend with all my heart, it would be Korean Palace. I've been dining here ever since they had that delicious rice topped with their signature eel which my dad would always share with me when I was still young.Years after, I still find myself looking for the authentic Korean food they serve, and the complimentary dishes they have -- YOU HAVE TO TRY THE MARBLED POTATOES. And and youre lucky if their best waiter serves you for the rest of the night, because that means MORE COMPLIMENTARY DISHES. Just imagine the number of marbled potatoes I had that night.If you ever get the chance to visit, get their beef stew (THE BEST BEEF STEW ANYONE COULD EVER HAVE, meat falls off the bones, sauce is perfect), tempura (DIVINE), their samgyupsal which are matched with the perfect soy sauce they serve, and of course, their bibimbaps! The stonepot ones are better than the usual! You have to try their steamed tofu too.And they always serve sweet pineapples at the end of the meal. They have been consistent ever since, dining here feels like a ritual you would willingly follow. Oh, and on another note, you have to see the little koi pond they have when youre on the way to their rest room. Not really sure if they still have it after renovating, but its my favorite part of dining there.Korean Palace has been there for a long time already, and if a lot of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese diners frequent it, that means something. It really is a great restaurant, and I love it with all my heart. Service has always been great and food, equal. Pricing is right. Totally recommend it!

Tucked within Malate in the old city of Manila is this authentic Korean restaurant. You will realize its authentic when there are more Korean guests that Pinoys. Prices are reasonable and they also do not serve on the requisite appetizers. Must try are the pork or chicken barbeque which you must order in 2 serving so that they can cook this in a portable stove at your table. Also delicious are the kimchi soup, bibimbap and chapchae.

I love Korean food and this is the place I like going back to to get that authentic Korean meal and feel. The place is stylish and gives you that vibe of being in Korea, something that I usually see just in koreanovelas. The meals come with a complete set of appetizers and the food itself is just delicious. The prices are a bit on the mid-priced meal side, but they are well worth spending for. One must try this out at least once in their life.

Metro Manila definitely have several restaurants that offers Korean dishes, but Korean Palace is a go-to place for me. Try their Chicken Ginseng, the most famous dish in Korea! They've got the taste so authentic and closer to what they have back in Seoul. It's worth every cents!
