Blogs and online reviewers have given praised and high-ratings for
Jang Ga Nae so I suggested it to the family to try when we were in the
Ortigas Pasig area and coincidentally craving for
Korean.
It has a wide parking space but it was full so we had to double park.
As soon as we reach the door, we were greeted by this. She reminds me of
Jang Geum (the main character in a Korean Telenobela decades ago).
Before we could even come in, we could already here the chattering sounds of the crowd that came from slight opening of the door. As we went in, we were told to wait as our table is being prepared. Mixed smoky vapors clouded the closed room. But, not too much since there are air-suctions above every table. We then seated to a wooden table with an electric griller. And, the staffs handed us the menu.
Food
 |
| Complimentary Banchan |
As soon as our orders were taken, our plates were set up, a pitcher of water as well as our Complimentary Banchan arrived. I must say, their quite generous and the elections were good.
 |
| Complimentary Pajun |
We were also provided a Complimentary Pajun. It was pretty good. Quite unique being flat but I really liked it. This is one of the best pajun I've had actually.
 |
| Gal Bi Jim (380 php) |
There are two things I can generally say about Jang Ga Nae's Gal Bi Jim or beef rib stew (1) It's a generous and chunky serving (2) It's the sweetest one galbi jim I've ever had.
 |
| He Mul Tang (290 php) |
The He Mul Tang is spicy mixed seafood soup. This is really spicy with lots of stuff in there like crab, clams, fish fillet, tofu, sprouts, leeks and onions. For the price, it's a steal.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Jang Ga Nae failed to impress us. The price is pretty good. But, that's it. I wonder if we should have ordered the grilled selections. But, we didn't feel like it because they don't use charcoal. If you love
Jang Ga Nae perhaps you can suggest what we should try.
