I'm not a hardcore Korean food lover but I do have a few favorites. Kogi Bulgogi is one of those commercial restaurants that deliver--commendable food and good service. We chose this because we wanted to treat our friend on her birthday. Since she was a K-pop lover and has lived in Korea for 10 months, this was the best choice for her in  Eastwood area. They actually play Kpop songs inside the resto--plus points for that!Apparently in Korea they serve appetizer/side dishes nonstop, so they also adapted that custom here. We got two batches of side dish before our orders came. My favorites were the tofu, dilis, and Kimchi. (I only eat Kimchi if its delicious. haha) The fried pork side dish had hair, BTW. But I was in a good mood so I let it slide. (I'm still telling it here for an honest report/review haha.) For the main dishes we ordered 12 pieces of their Kpop chicken, Japchae, and korean lettuce wraps. My friend wasn't impressed with their chicken but I have to say, it was juicy and tasty. Their "spicy" wasn't spicy at all but it would do. I love chicken any way you cook it. Haha! I looooved their Japchae--super sweet (maybe too sweet for some) and the noodles are awesome--gelatinous and tasty. The meat for the wraps were a bit dry but the sauces were good and tasty. Overall, it's a good commercial Korean resto for my non-expert Korean website self. And oh, I ordered Lychee shake as refreshment--super sweet as well. Just how I like it! Our total bill was around 1,200 and we were a group of 5. We left the resto filled and satisfied. :)

Ambiance is okay: roomy, comfortable and plays good kpop music. Service is good, staff are alert and very helpful.Food taste is great. We had Tuk Bulgogi, Samgyupsal, Kpop Chicken and Soju.The Tuk Bulgogi is good. The broth is rich, vegetables are crisp and the beef is tender. The Samgyupsal is okay as well, the pork belly is tasty, sauces compliment the pork very well, the lettuce is not sufficient though, there were only 6 leaves provided. The Kpop Chicken is one of the best I have tasted I love the crispiness and the spiciness is just the right amount. The Soju was quite interesting, the menu says Yipsejoo so I was expecting a mild Soju but we were served a Chamisul Soju which is a stronger variant. It was okay with me but we were to watch a movie after dinner and the Chamisul really got us.The food serving is somewhat small to what is advertised or what I see online but I can still say that it is value for the money.

Korean food cravings happened when we were in eastwood so we ended up here. What we ordered are the sundubu-jjigae, tak bulgogi, the fish that i forgot what its called, and the fried dumplings. It was ok for a korean dish, the ambience is actually cleaner and nicer than other korean restaurants around ortigas.
