WHAT TO EXPECT WITH SAMGYUPSAL 199?
At this price point though, you have to manage your expectation as well as your standards especially if you have been used to eating in the likes of Samgyupsalamat or Yoshimeatsu. Just the same, we would like to point out that it’s not as bad as what people wrote in their reviews. In fact, our concept is bringing the Korean barbecue experience to more people.
Now, this is where managing your expectation begins. First, outr Samgyup199 is not air-conditioned. It has a roof, of course, but it’s open, save for a wall that separates it from the next establishment. There are also the meats, the sauces, and the sidings. There are no exhaust vents but there are big fans that dissipate the smoke. Samgyup199 also does not have charcoal grills but butane stoves with a grill pan on top.
It will be unfair to Samgyup199 to expect spectacular cuts of meat. But let me say again that it’s not as bad as what people say. The pork is fatty but that’s how pork belly is. Also, the beef can be chewy depending on how you cook it. When you toast the beef, it will be crunchy. The meat is not tough or rubbery at all. As a matter of fact, all the meats were marinated well. Samgyup199 had to compromise on some areas, no doubt, but that’s to be able to provide affordable unlimited barbecue to diners.
The cost is upfront and we don't brand our restaurant as superior quality at a price that is for the masses. Then again, we make sure the quality is good. The food is clean and delicious.
Again, with Samgyupsal which is worth ₱199, it’s just knowing what to expect, which is not vague at all. Samgyupsal 199 is a good option especially if you are treating out a big group such as your friends or your loved ones.
