Korean grill barbecue AKA samgyupsal or samgyeopsal or simply samgyup in Korean language has become one of the famous past-time food of Filipinos for a few years.
Most of the Korean restaurants offer UNLIMITED SAMGYUPSAL where you can grill your favorite sliced meat savored with kimchi and other side dishes wrapped in lettuce and eat it the Korean-way.
Here's a short list of Korean Barbecue grilling places in Metro Manila you shouldn't miss to try:
The cheapest yet reasonable - 1223 Grill is Pasig's hidden Korean haven! Aside from samgyupsal, I personally love their Budae Jjigae.
Quite expensive yet a very good Korean grill experience - that's what Song Do Won can offer. This restaurant located at HK Sun Plaza along Macapagal Ave. in Pasay City is always full-packed with Koreans (I've seen more than 50% of their customers are real Korean). Oh, and they are open 24/7!
