My friend Joei has long been urging me to try Gangnam Style. So I mentioned it to the family and they agreed to try it. While on the way, I was surprised that we were headed to Harbor Square when I thought it was in Makati. We searched the net and all entries were also in Makati. But, since we're already there we might as well try it right?
It
has a big lighted sign with a guy logo that looks a lot like Psy (the
singer of the song. It is located just above the worst branch of The Chicken and Rice Shop (their dessert items are hardly ever available).
Taking
a plight of stairs, we arrived by its entrance bombarded by promos. We
didn't stop to read and just went in as we were hungry. Later on, we
found out that they offer 6 free side dishes (we got this) and bingsu
(this was not available during our visit).
The interiors were
really nice. The dining areas each had a square table equipped with
gas griller, pillows for seats and display shelves that serve as
dividers. Their was a background music too but not Korean as I would
have expect.
Food
 |
| Banchan |
The server took our orders and immediately served
our complimentary Banchan. We were surprised at how generous they are
with Banchan. There was the usual . And, there are full serving size
of the Gyeran Jjim (steamed egg) and Kimchi Jigae.
 |
| Kimchi Stew (Kimchi-jjigae) *complimentary but menu price is 250 php |
 |
| Complimentary Soup |
BBQ
Soon, our BBQ orders arrived and server begun grilling them. She overheard us talking about the Gangnam Style in Makati and told us that it is indeed a branch of it. But, she said the one in Makati is more popular and they use charcoal grillers there.
 |
| Grilled Chicken Ribs (Yangyeum Dak-Galbi) (350 php) |
The Grilled Chicken Ribs marinade was successful in appealing to our tastebuds.
 |
| Red Pepper Paste Pork Belly (Gochojang Samgyeopsal) (280 php) |
Red Pepper Paste Pork Belly rarely make a lasting impression to me but this did. Just look at
their beautiful thick, marbled and fatty pork slab and you can probably
tell how flavorful it is and even enhanced by the red pepper paste.
This tray is refillable so enjoy these with your grills. Add the spicy vegetables to boot.
Meal Special
 |
| Kimchi Fried Rice (Kimchi Bokkeumbob) (250 php) |
Since my mom loves
Kimchi Fried Rice and wanted to try all versions of it, we ordered one. It was good but still doesn't top
our favorite.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Gangnam Style is a must try if you're looking for authentic Korean dishes. With all their complimentary dishes, you're belly will be more than satisfied with much left on your wallet.
