Delightful Delicacies at Korean Garden Restaurant, Jupiter Street Makati

It's been awhile since we had a chance to try a new restaurant that left us with happy tummies & smiling faces. 

Let me introduce you to Korea Garden Restaurant at Jupiter Street.

The doors open and you see friendly faces all around. They greet you warmly & make you feel quite at ease. 

Decor envy :)

Scattered all around the place are their food awards. Hmm... definitely a good sign.

Looking around the place, elegant & classy are the first words that came into mind. 

The blue chairs worked well with the glass top tables. They give off a calm & serene vibe, perfect for a relaxing evening out.

Korean Appetizers

They served us the usual Korean appetizers. Quite enough for a table of two.

Rice

It's always a good sign when the rice is completely white and hot... exactly what Korea Garden serves.

Kalbi Chim (Korean Beef Stew)

Hands down an easy favorite. The beef just melts in your mouth with every bite. FS Recommendation? Forget your diet & eat this with rice! The only thing that would make this perfect is if they made it spicy. Other than that, it's good to go. :)

Chap Chae (Glass noodles made from sweet potatoes)

On the other hand, the noodles were just okay. Doesn't offer anything special, a bit forgettable actually. Wasn't able to finish this one.

Nakchi Bokum (Stir fried spicy octopus dish)

It's literally octopus swimming in spicy sauce. I think this is a type of dish wherein it's either you like it or you don't. A thumbs up for hubby (his favorite) while a pass for me. Loved that the squid was soft and easy to chew.

Mandu (Korean style Dumpling)

Next up are the dumplings. First impression? Looks good. Taste-wise? These were well-made and quite filling.

Mandu (Marinated beef served on a hot plate)

Served in a dome-shaped hot plate, this was a sight to behold. With the conspicuous spaces left, serving size was definitely smaller than normal. FS verdict? Lacked sauce and tasted a bit dry. Tasty though.

And to end the meal, we were served sweet pineapples for dessert.

Are we coming back? Although the night had a couple of misses, it definitely had it's good moments. So our answer is, yup count on it. :)

SERVICE: - Staff was attentive & friendly. 

TASTE: - The yays definitely outweighed the nays.

VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY: - Voucher used. Paid Php 895 for a Php 1200 meal.
