Yoree is fairly new in the Korean culinary scene, but it has already established itself as one of the go-to places for high-quality food, enjoyed in a classy setting. It’s perfect for celebrating special occasions because really–what’s a better celebration than one celebrated through excellent Korean fare? Get out of your comfort zone, and try their Nakji Bokkeum or octopus seasoned with gochujang.
Other extraordinary dishes that you have to try are the Kimchi Ssambap and Tongdak Gui Tteokgalbi. End your meal on a (really) positive note with Bingsu; it comes in three delectable flavors.
3. Min Sok
5655 Don Pedro Street, Poblacion, Makati
(02) 895 9586 | Facebook | Open everyday from 10:30 am to 10:30pm

With worried and hesitant hearts (slash bellies), we reveal this hole-in-the-wall, culinary gem. Nestled in gritty and lively Poblacion—authentic Korean food with very reasonable prices lies in Min Sok. It’s definitely underrated, adding to its appeal as an obscure food spot. For first timers, their Samgyeopsal and Chadolbaki surely won’t disappoint.
2. Jang Ga Nae

Jang Ga Nae is owned and managed by Koreans. It’s also frequented by Koreans who gush over its authenticity, bringing them back home for a delicious while. Pinoys may feel like the foreign ones as they dine here, but once the food is served, there won’t be any complaining. Jang Ga Nae’s specialties include Sun Du Bu Jjige or soft tofu spicy stew and Wu Sam Kyup or beef belly. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try peculiar dishes like goat stew and blood cube soup.
