J. Park is a 24-hour spacious two-story restaurant fully surrounded by glass panes.  It's greens and classy interiors is like a paradise inviting every passer by. 


A step inside will even offer an overwhelming comfort with its clean, fragrant and cool vibe.  Aside from the casual dining area on the first and second floor, the second room also provides more privacy with individual rooms by the back hallway. 

Food
While J. Park offers unlimited Samyupsal for only 500 php (minimum of two [2] persons), we opted to order ala carte because the menu had a lot more to offer. 

Pajeori (파절이)

The Pajeori (파절이) literally means seasoned green onion in Korean.  This is a basic Korean barbecue companion especially for marinated meat. 




Beef

Special Wagyu Beef (Rib-Eye) (2800 php)

As indicated in its menu, all meats used by J. Park are Monterey Meat.  As you can see, the Special Wagyu Beef (Rib-Eye) is as promised.  Of course, this is so delicious when grilled perfectly!

Kkot Galbisal (Grilled Beef Prime Ribs) (1,600 php)

With delicious beef variants like the Kkot Galbisal (Grilled Beef Prime Ribs), you would agree that opting more than Samgyupsal is the best way right?


Pork

Samgyeopsal (Fresh Pork Belly) (400 php)

Meals

Bulgogi

Unfortunately, you can only cook either grill or hotpot in a single table.  We were lucky to dine in a big group so we were able to get some dishes from the nearby tables.  Both the grills and the Bulgogi we had were delicious and price-worthy. 

		ss
Kimchi Jjige (Kimchi Stew) (400 php)

Dwenjiang Jjigae (Soybean Stew) (400 php)

The Kimchi Jjige and Dwenjiang Jjigae are both stews.  The Kimchi Jjige is dominated by the flavor of kimchi.  While the Dwenjiang Jjigae is dominated by soybean flavor.

Galbi Tang (600 php)

Who needs a chicken soup for the soul when you can have a healthy and comforting serving of Galbi Tan?  The pork ribs slowly falls of the bone as it simmers in the hot bowl.  Parts of it are melting and mixing into the mild tasting soup which is slightly sweetened by the juju berries.  

Side Dishes

Japchae (500 php)

What we appreciate with Korean restaurants is that the management is very hands on.  You can see that the Korean owners and managers are the ones doing the hard labor as well.

The Ban Chan which includes the Sangchu Geotjeori or Korean lettuce salad is refillable.  The best most loved Ban Chan for the group is the Korean Potato Salad.

If there's a factor that displeased the family the most, it would be the drinks.  The Bottomless Drinks priced expensively as 138 php are listed as one section in the menu.  But turns out... when you order soft drinks, you can order soft drinks.  If you order Nestea products, you can only order Nestea products.  The saddest part is if you order Hot Coffee, we thought you can shift to Hot Tea but no.  My sister was very displeased with the Hot Coffee so she wanted to shift to Hot Tea but was not allowed.  The Hot Tea quality is really bad too.  It is oversteeped Lipton Tea...  


Birthday Surprise
And for the birthday celebrant, he gets a surprise birthday song and a birthday pineapple (yes! pineapple and not cake). 

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
We felt that Gen Korean BBQ House is not worth the price.  Even if its understandable that pricing in LA is more expensive but the meat quality isn't that good too.  Given that we were one of the few customers, we weren't very pleased with the service either.

The family is rarely in Tomas Morato Quezon City area.  We are not very familiar with the establishments there so we tried searching for places to eat using Zomato, Booky Manila and Waze.  Even though we were all navigators equipped with our own devices, we somehow managed to take the wrong turn and ended up in Hansik Restaurant 한식 레스토랑 and we were too hungry to turn back.  (Yes! The family can get a bit agitated when their stomach is grumbling and patience isn't our virtue)


The restaurant has no English name so it was difficult to share for us non-koreans.  I only found out the name when I checked-in on facebook and swarm.  This used to be called Tadami Restaurant.  It's a plus that they have a parking space which is usually the problem in the area.

The place looks clean and quaint.  Each table has already been set.

They add new menus every once in awhile but we opted for their regular selections which were recommended by our server.

Food
Before our orders arrived, we were served their complimentary banchan.  Every thing was so good so we got excited to try our orders.

Appetizers

Salmon Salad (350 php)

For starter, we had the Salmon Salad.  Its very simple but the salmon was fresh and the dressing is a great match for it.

Main Dish

Bulgogi with Vegetable (500 php)

Our server (who seems to be focused with our dish) cooked our Bulgogi with Vegetable at our table.  As you can see, food here is best shared with a group. 

Bulgogi with Vegetable (500 php)

It was then served to as smoking hot.  This isn't the typical grilled type.  Instead this is what they call Bulgogi Jungol or Bulgogi Soup.  Although we've tried it before, we rarely encounter this style in the Metro.  It's perfect to eat on a cold rainy day.  We were all very pleased with this.  The cost is definitely justified by the quality of the meat, flavor and serving size.

Dakgalbi (400 php)

Having tried many dak galbi before, I have to admit, their Dakgalbi is one of the best.  Even my little sister who despises spicy dishes could resist this!

 Noodles

Seafood Tomato Stew (350 php)

The Seafood Tomato Stew is something new for us.  It's like the Korean version of Marinara Pasta in soup form.  Definitely a must try!

Rice Dishes

Kimchi Fried Rice (250 php)

 The family is very fond of trying out Kimchi Rice whenever we encounter one.  This Kimchi Fried Rice is the quite unique.  It has some bean paste and sesame seeds among others.  It's not dominantly spicy like we expected so the siblings are quite thrilled with that.  It is similar to 678's lunch box. 


Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
We are glad to discover Hansik Restaurant 한식 레스토랑.  I have yet to compare it with other Korean Restaurants in the Quezon City area.  But, I highly recommend it as one of the best one's we've tried. (As of date, my label counter says it's a total of 45 Korean restaurants =D)
