Seoul Korean

Hary Elias

A seemingly mom and pop stop but sends your taste buds to heaven. I've been on a few Korean restaurants but nothing quite beats this place for their Yang Nyum chicken. We had it over a company event and had I not been so shy, I'd gladly help myself for a second serving. It's crispy and had a lot of sauce, it stands as one of those meals I want to go back to with other people. Their other meals like bulgogi and japchae were great as well. Nothing to write home for but homey and good.The best thing about this place was even if we arrived around midnight we did not wait long for our food. 10 minutes and there was enough to feed 20 people. That is an amazing feat especially if you're really hungry.As for the price, I had it for free. But if I were to come back I'd have to bring 3 other people just to justify their serving size. Might be too pricey for just 1-2 people without being able to at least try 3 dishes.

Seoul Korean is a wonderful mom&pop restaurant that feels so homey. The wait staff needs to pay more attention. You do need to exert some effort to get their attention. But they're very courteous and quick if you need anything.We tried the Galbi Tang (not in the menu). Galbi means beef short ribs and Tang means stew. If you just want a simple "nilaga" without spices, this hits the spot. It has some noodles in it and served with a bowl of rice.Then there was the Galbi Jim (braised beef ribs with a sweet soy seasonings and sweet potato. It needs some more seasonings compared to the others I've tried.The Samgyeopsal was about 8 slices of pork belly on a hot plate served with lettuce leaves, chili miso paste and some condiments. Serving size is a little smaller than others.

My most favorite Korean restaurant in the Metro! The nice lady and her family running it makes everyone feel at home especially when they see you more than once. Highly recommend their fried chicken, Budae Jjigae, Ddak Galbi, and their Jok Bal.

This place has been my go-to korean restau since college. This was then Happy 6 Days but there was a management change so they changed the name. However, the menu, the staff remained.What I love about their restau is that the ambiance of the place is very homey. Their food is very freshly cooked - no reheating, no microwave on sight. 😅 they also offer unli side dishes and bibimbap for only PHP100 (as long as you order other stuff from their menu).Many koreans also dine in here, probably because the restau is korean-owned and are very welcoming. I also have no problems with the price since for 500, you probably be super full with all they can offer!

Easily one of the best places in Manila for your Korean fix. I am vegetarian so I have limited choices. Despite the constraint, Seoul Korean never failed me. "Wholesome food" sums up this place.Ambiance is simple, not one to write home about. But that's not what you go this place for.Service is good. The staff understand what you speak (it is not as common as you might like to believe) and cater appropriately to special needs (vegetarian food for instance).Enjoy wholesome homely food in this Korean place in a quaint corner of the city.
