Restaurant Review: Sariwon Korean Barbecue

My love of Korean food started since my first taste of the flavorful appetizers and yummy beef galbi dipped in sesame sauce and chili paste, then wrapped in a lettuce leaves. My mouth waters just thinking about it.

Sariwon Korean Barbecue is the most convenient place for me to get my dose of Korean. It's just a stone's throw away from the office - located at the West Superblock of Bonifacio High Street Central. It's just beside Geisha (a japanese restaurant) and above Jumba Juice.

After being seated you will be offered towelettes and some hot tea. The tea is good, you should try it. ^^

A variety of appetizers comes with any meal, and you can ask for unlimited refill. :) I particularly enjoy nibbling on sweet baby potatoes while waiting for the main dish - and I love Kimchi with my galbi. The selection of appetizers changes everyday so don't be surprised if you get a different variety each visit.

Unlimited appetizer selection changes everyday.

Any kind of meat will do, but Ggot Galbisal, being one of the priciest item on the menu, is a definite must-try. You can have Beef Galbi/Seng Galbi for a cheaper alternative. Aside from the food, one thing I like about Sariwon is the smokeless grill, so you don't end end up smelling like firewood after your meal.

Ggot Galbisal (P595) for sharing.

I usually go for plain white rice when I eat Korean, but one day we ordered Dolsot Bibimbap and I knew I wouldn't order the plain rice again. It was delicious!!!

Dolsot Bibimbap P380.

Right after the main meal, they usually serve a complimentary serving of Sikye, a traditional beverage dessert made from rice and malt. It was a bit strange for me to see rice floating in my drink but after several visits I got used to it and now I find it strangely good and refreshing.

Sariwon is currently my Gold standard for Korean dining. The service and the atmosphere is great. A must-try!
