Jong Lo Korean Cuisine - Manila

Everyone has its own lapses and misses but I will give 5 stars still. We arrived very early in the morning around 7 am so there were no customers yet. First floor was clean but we were greeted by a smell coming from the kitchen. It was understandable. No sign of AC being turned on. We headed to the second floor. It was clean and smell was fine. A patient woman welcomed us sincerely. We went straight to the hanboks. Some of them were not ironed, crumpled, but cleaned. I tried the red dress and I asked for the headdress which the woman painstakingly went back downstairs and handed me the cool black headdress with a butterfly wings I dont know). It was really fun. I really enjoyed taking photos in every nook and cranny of the place. After the food was served, we decided to break off from taking pictures and ate. I forgot the name we ordered. But it was delicious! There were side dishes which I was able to appreciate. Btw, you have to order worth 350 pesos each person) to be able to wear the traditional costume. According to the woman, there is a 500 peso deposit but she exempted us from having so. You can use the depost amount to pay your bill. Anyway, I really enjoyed the place. The funny thing is, we frequented the place not because of the food but because of the excitement of wearing hanbok. Overall, my 2 hr time was worthy. The place was cool; food was delicious; and kind staff. That’s all that matters at the end of the day.

Able to enjoy this moment.. feels of korea and the hanbok experience was soooo amazing!!! Did some vlogging here: [hidden link] Hoping to visit here again with more friends :

I love this k-restaurant! Affordable and mababait ang mga staff tapos may pa-costume pa. Nakakatuwa talaga. Meron grill pero mas gusto namin ng daddy ko yung upuan sa 2nd floor. #Busog #Recommended

Been here twice already. The food that they serve is really authentic korean cuisine. Kinabahan pa nga ako kasi akala ko walang romanization ung menu. and parang walang korean grill kahit korean resto sila (or maybe dko lang napansin? they also have korean costumes sa 2nd floor. Better to go here at night para hindi mainit. Anghirap magtry ng hanbok sa tanghali because they don't turn on thd aircon at the 2nd floor since they usually have few customers pag maaga pa. :

We had dinner in jong lo to celebrate my gf's birthday. She is really a fanatic of korean foods. Thats why we chose this plaace. We enjoy the dressing up of hanbok, korea's traditional costume. For the food, i can say its good but just almost the same with other korean resto. The service for me is also not quite good., the crew seems dont want assist to us hehe. But overall not a bad dining experience.
