Eat-all-you-can Korean bbq is all the rage this days, people find out too late that quantity does not always equate to quality. One hear horror stories of questionable meat "condition" or worse sanitation/hygiene issues .
For discerning foodies that are more into being assured of premium and well curated meat selection, you may want to check out Sariwon.
Unlike other Korean restaurants, Sariwon is into set menus vs eat-all-you-can. The latest set menu that they have to date is the De Luxe Grill Set for 4...
De Luxe Grill Set For 4
P2400/ P600 per head
1 Haemul Pajeon
1 gyeranjjim
1 Doenjang Chigae
4 white rice
 |
| Unlimited Side Dshes or ban chan |
200 g Yangneyeom Galbisal
150 g Yangnyeom Tohsisal
130 g Tohsisal
Hanging Tender
 |
| 250 g Yangnyeom Woo samgyup |
Overall...
More than a satisfactory meal for a budget of P600 per person. I counted a total of 730 grams of quality beef. Each person will get 182.5 grams of protein with their pajeon, gyeranjjim (egg dish), soup , rice and unlimited side dishes.
The marinated beef were standouts for me. I love my meat sweet like barbecue. We specifically told our server Joven our preferred doneness - medium rare. The meat served were really tender and moist. I wrapped mine in lettuce with soy bean paste , garlic and kimchi...yum!
I also enjoyed the pajeon which was not oily unlike previous pajeon Ive tasted before. I loved the surprise heat in the soup.
I commend the servers especially Joven who was patient, attentive, cheerful and knowledgeable about Sariwon's food.
Quality vs quantity? Set Menu vs Eat-All-You-Can ?
It is really up to you. As for me, I can only eat so much protein. I would like to indulge but not to the point of sacrificing the enjoyment of the meal because I am more concerned about getting my money's worth which becomes the mindset in a buffet or eat-all-you-can .
But that's just me. Check out Sariwon for yourself and let me know what you think ... :)
