Sariwon Korean Barbecue

We were honored to have been able to try the new Korean restaurant at Bonifacio High Street Central, Sariwon. We love Korean food especially Korean barbecue!!!!

Thank you to Diane and Donna Tan for hosting our dinner! We were very happy to meet these two very young and very pretty ladies who are at the forefront of Sariwon. They are also the owners of Jollibee, so this is not their first time in the food service business. They tried Sariwon during their travels and wanted to bring it back to the Philippines

Our menu for the evening

Donna and Diane recommended the Sangria and the Kiwi fruit shake so we followed them 🙂

Doenjang Gigae – a spicy stew

Always love all these side dishes – I particularly liked the mashed squash with raisins and cucumber – Donna made sure we ate it – it looks like mashed potato, but it is squash

They told us that they use only the freshest cuts of premium USDA Choice beef

We had the Galbi that evening and you could really tell that the beef was of good quality

And just like in Korea, the server cooks for you and cuts it and serves it to you

Dak Galbi – there are options for the non beef eaters

Japchae

Bibimbap

We can never get enough of beef!! We were happy to try the bulgogi

They use ceramic charcoal

and changed the grill for the bulgogi

To accommodate the sauce

Thinly sliced bulgogi

Dipping sauce made with 12 vegetables and fruits

Freshly made sweet potato noodles

And the dessert which was really really refreshing Sikhye

And we got to meet the owners who flew over to train the staff and make sure that the opening goes smoothly. Sariwon was started in 1938 by their grandmother, Mrs. Koo
