For out post Christmas Party, my High School friends first wanted to try out Sing Sing Meat Shop, reading good reviews from website apps unfortunately, they closed early at 8:30pm only entertaining guests who came before the cut off time. Traversing Aguirre Avenue we still wanted to try out a Korean Grill restaurant that is easy on the pocket. Nearing the Lopez intersection we noticed a trifecta of restaurants with a Korean Grill towards the backside. With limited parking, we asked if we can park in front of a Barbershop since parking along Aguirre Avenue is prohibited.Once you enter the restaurant you can smell the grilled meat, people happily grilling pieces of meat while munching on the added side dishes. For 495pesos you get unlimited servings of pork and beef slices for grilling. It is good quality meat with equal layers of meat and fat. On the other side of the restaurant is a buffet set up where you can get lettuce leaves, kimchi, onions, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce and korean pancakes with leeks, beef stew, Japanese white rice, corn chowder, and other dishes. There is also a dessert - jelly. And a apple juice vendo. I can't remember the name, but their is also an orange hued soy paste that you can dip your meat. Very delicious. I probably had 5 platefuls of meat. Make sure to wrap it up in lettuce with some onions and dip. Have a big bite in one go. Drinks are charged separately except for the complimentary apple juice which is part of buffet spread.Service staff are attentive but can get challenging to get refills when everyone is busy. The interiors are clad in stained wood panels reminiscent to a log cabin. Faux windows show scenic tourist attractions in Korea. They have individual grills with their own exhaust but does not do a good job. Get ready to smell like grilled meat after dining. Make sure you are going straight home since the smell is very strong combined with all those spices. You wouldn't want to parade around smelling like dinner. They close late. Around 10:30pm with last orders at 10:00pm. Overall it was an enjoyable holiday dinner with friends. Recommended. Good alternative to Sing Sing when packed but have yet to try them. Receipt issued.

Adding this buffet house to our long list of tried and crossing it out to our pending to be reviewed eat-outs…Additional details on Rates:1-5 yrs old = Free6 years old = Half7 years and up = FullBirthday package offered, 3 days before/after and on your birthday is free.The place also offers ala carte dishes so if you’re not into the unli meat, you can try checking out their menu.The Banchan/ Side Dishes:Kimchi – the most basic of all Korean restaurants, napa cabbage kimchi. This traditional fermented side dish tastes better as it grows older. The ones that they serve are practically not well fermented which is usually the case on all unlimited K-restaurants.Marbled Potato – it might look like a soy-based dish but this is actually sweetened potato much more like our version of Kamote-Q .Haemul Pajeon – well, haemul literally means seafood but the ones they have are all veggies mixed in it. There might be some pieces of octopus there somewhere but it did not land on my chosen pieces.Veggie Fritters – it consists of green peppers and carrots fried it their mixed batter.Cold cucumbers - not a fan of cucumbers so did not try it, but looks so refreshing as it has ice on it.Odeng Au Bokum - I was looking for the fish cake but it was nowhere to be found. I’m rationally thinking that maybe the label got mixed up since all I see is tofu in there. Don’t be misled I like this side the most, it’s just that the label is wrong.Beef bulgogi - I did not have a pic of this since it was all gone by the time I went back for seconds now talk about tasty.Japchae - not a fan of this noodle dish so I pass through it.Mixed Salad – it is a mixed greens and the sauce is on its side if you choose to have it.Kimchi Fried Rice - its your typical fried rice using the kimchi sauce as its base and color. White Rice is also available on the side served in a large rice cooker.Seawood soup is also available along with some kimbap. Lettuce and the sauce are all available in the buffet. I would like it better if the bean paste is saltier but it’s just me.For desserts, they serve unlimited Jelly and fruits and if that is not enough you can buy ice cream ala carte near the counter.As for the unli beef and pork, I want my samgyupsal(pork) 1 cm. thicker and my woosamgyup(beef) paper thin. They serve the pork and beef slices almost the same and identical to each other although you will figure it out since beef tends to have redder color than pork.**The very downside of this place is you can see baby roaches here and there. My sister found one on her sit, I saw one on the walls and my sister-in-law picked one on her sauce.
