korea quest: korea garden restaurant

on my hunny's birthday, we had dinner at a korean restaurant not far from where we work. we had a craving of korean food while watching tons of korea-novelas.

we walked around jupiter street, makati. this area is in full blast during night time. this is also the place where young pros go after a hectic day at work. restaurants, bars and even karaoke shops are within the area.

we stopped at korea garden restaurant. the restaurant was established in the 70s and it was only now that i entered the place. the restaurant's interiors has no interesting feature except for its cleanliness.

placed in the menu are their specialties with pictures beside it. a nice touch for people like me who doesn't really know all the korean food names.

we got a safe restaurant favorite. a generically named: korean dinner. for about a little over a thousand pesos, you would get about a dozen appetizers, a korean bbq on a hot grill, some glass noodles in sesame and soy based sauce, pan fried gyozas, seafood soup and different kinds of kimchis.

this is probably the best option when going in there for the first time. everything from kimchis, seafood, some pork stuff and a good serving of korean bbq is prepared.

size of the serving is good for 4. although the appetizers are not refillable, the quantity is good for hungry stomachs.

the restaurant's ambiance is very pleasant and you would see the korean owner wait for guests at the doorway. you now seldom see owners greet guests.

this is a nice place for good korean food and a quiet area to eat. ample parking space is available.
