Truly authentic korean food! And you know it’s the real deal if most of their patrons are Korean. Their kimchi jjigae hits the spot, very warm and hearty. The atmosphere is down to earth and comfortable. It feels like coming back home even though it’s my first time eating there. Will definitely come back again

Super authentic Korean food recommended by local, owner and staff are always nice. Definitely one of the best Korean food in Manila. Their seaweed beef soup is one of my favorite. All meal comes with lots of sides and it's different everyday. However the restaurant close on Monday and parking are few only.

Servings are usually good for 3. We over ordered, but take away is possible. Warm and friendly atmosphere. The food " takes you back to South Korea". Authentic, fresh and so good! This is a place that you can run down each menu item for every visit. Thank you!

If you are looking for the real deal Korean experience, look no further! Stepping into this restaurant made me feel like a foreigner as all tables were occupied by Koreans. No unlimited bbq here, just very good quality korean food. They even have raw marinated crab which is a huge plus for me. Prices are not that expensive and menu is extensive. Truly a hidden gem inside BF homes. Highly recommended!!

A quaint and homey Korean restaurant situated in the heart of BF Homes. The food was deliciously authentic. We felt like the dishes had a depth of flavor that isn't typically present in regular Korean restaurants. Although the prices are slightly heftier, the quality of the meal justifies it. We enjoyed their Bosam, Gamjatang, and Kimchi-jjigae- especially in this rainy weather. The owner of the restaurant made sure that we were comfortable and took the time to ask us about our experience. A definite stop for anyone who is looking for solid Korean food.

Love this place! I’ve been eating here for almost two years now, and it’s always something I look forward to. My go-to dishes are the Gamjatang, Samgyupsal (ask for the thick cut!), Pajeon, and their sashimi bibimbap. Every bite takes me back to my trips to Seoul. The food is consistently great, especially the banchan. Portions are generous, so you’ll definitely leave full. Technically, the banchan refills are limited, but once you get to know the owners, they sometimes make exceptions. Speaking of the owners… The owners are a lovely Korean couple, warm, hospitable, and accommodating (the wife is the chef/ cook). Their presence really adds to the whole experience. That’s why this place feels special. For us, it’s like having a little taste of Korea right here in BF Homes. Not the cheapest place but you get what you pay for!
