1970 Grill

This is the go to place when you're drunk and wants some middle of the night shabu shabu with your friends. It's affordable and worth your money.

Beef shabu-shabu with unli soup for less than PhP500! enough said. been going here since they opened. also the best soup spot for Morato after-drinks since they open until very very late.

After our Tagaytay day trip, we went straight here, 1970 Grill. It isn't a buffet korean grill like O Ga Ne, Don Day, or Leann. By the way, I like those restaurants, especially Leann. 1970 offers shabu shabu, which we didn't order. We had beef grill worth 350. Kinda pricey for me, to think you could have an unlimited meat grill already for around 400. Tho, looking at the good side, you get to have an unlimited side dishes that are really good. The interior is just okay. Nothing too extravagant.

Am not a fan of korean of food so my judgement is based from someone who knows very little about bibimbap and hotpot and kimchi. Just amazed how much side dishes were placed on our table. Love their bibimbap.

Discovered this place cause of some friends. It 's not in the main area of Tomas Morato where all the cars and people are hustling and bustling around, but rather it 's located in in a bit of a quiet residential side street that provides some sort of privacy and quiet simplicity. I was surprised by the amount of people inside, not to mention the amount of cars outside that made finding a parking a bit of a challenge. I wasn 't sure what to expect actually given its name sounding a bit western but to my surprise, it 's korean. Upon entering, you 're welcomed by a simple interior with tables set up close together, each with a pot of shabu-shabu boiling gently. Perhaps one word to describe it is lively. However, it felt like a step back in time as well with the warm lighting and simple and relatively old designs. Due to the interior layout, it felt small. Maybe it is a bit small. The kitchen was within view as well, not in the glass encased showoff way of restaurants but in the way that they don 't have anymore space kind of showoff. We ordered the shabu-shabu meal along with an order of their grilled pork belly (which they cook for you . I wasn 't so sure about the shabu-shabu since it was a bit small. They offered some vegetables, a half corn, a crab ball, a dumpling, etc. It wasn 't a great impression. To see a single piece of each felt like I was being skimped on. The shabu-shabu was divided into two sections where one side has noodles. As for the sauce, they only gave 1 raw egg, so we just combined and shared a single sauce. (Again with the feeling of being skimped on. As with any korean restaurants, they offered appetizers such as egg, togue, kimchi pajeon, batter fried eggplant (I think , kimchi, and a few others. According to my companions, their egg (slices appetizer is not available for refill but the other appetizers are. The pork belly was around 7-8 pieces of meat with some needle mushrooms and two rounds of sweet potato I think. It was quite small. In retrospect, it would 've been more cost-efficient or a value-for-money decision to order two of the shabu-shabu ingredients rather than ordering the pork belly. Admittedly, the soup of the shabu-shabu was what really satisfied my hunger. So, not the best but given the price, it makes sense and I wouldn 't mind going for it again with the price of the shabu-shabu shared by three of us. I just hate how it felt like I was being skimped on with the single ingredients per variety and single raw egg for the sauce. (You can ask for more of the soup refill by the way
