Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Four in Love BBQ and Hot Pot Buffet offers a top-notch bbq and hot put buffet experience.  For the 20% off price, the Abundance Set is definitely worth a try!  Because of the soup and mookata add-on price, its best to bring at least three companions.  Overall, we Tsinoy Foodies enjoyed the grill, hotpot and sauce mixing experience.  We also liked the three price point for the sets so you can choose depending on your appetite and budget.  Perhaps, for simplicity though, the price could be more inclusive for the soup and drinks.  

The interiors of Mr. Korea BBQ is modern, hip, colorful and creative.  It has the industrial feel with grilled pipes, steel wallings and neon lights.  It gives a comfortable feel that let's you dine as long as you want.

Food

Banchan (반찬)

banchan (반찬)

1. Cabbage Kimchi (양배추 김치)
2. Gamjachae Bokkeum (감자채 볶음)
3. Yangpa Jangajji (Soy Pickled onions) (양파 장아찌)
4. Sigeumchi Namul (Seasoned Spinach) (시금치 나물 반찬)
5. Gamja Salad (Mashed Potato Salad): (감자샐러드) 

On the grill were additional complimentary dishes: Beef Bulgogi and Tteokbokki (Sticky Rice Cake) (떡볶이).  The Beef Bulgogi is exactly the same as one of the flavors so we recommend that you just have this replenished from time to time.  Small serving is better.  Its best to remove the Tteokbokki from the grill so as not too overcook it.  
 


Three Dipping Sauces or ssamjang (쌈장)

1. DoenJang (Korean Soybean Paste) (된장) and Gochujang (Korean Chili Paste) (고추장)

•  This is the main sauce for grilled unmarinated meats such as the Samgyupsal (삼겹살구이) and Woogyupsal.

2. Gireumjang (Sesame oil, Salt and Pepper sauce) 기름장

•  This sauce goes well with the marinated grilled meats.

3. Wasabi and Soy Sauce (간장 와사비 소스)

• This sauce brings out the flavor of  grilled meatseaten on its own (without being wrapped by lettuce)

Meats
Under Mr. Korea's Rules, you can only order 2 kinds of meat for 4 full paying adults and 3 kinds of mats for 6-full paying adults at a time.  We suggest that you order a variety of comabinations (i.e. rolls, unmarinated and marinated pork and beef).

Pork

♥ Pork Teriyaki Enoki Roll

The Pork Teriyaki Enoki Roll is one of our favorites!  Try dipping this with Mr. Korea's cheese sauce.  The flavor is akin to a cheesy bacon dish.


Beef

♥ Dry Rub Woosamgyup

The Dry Rub Woosamgyup is so flavorful that you can enjoy this better with lettuce wrap or ssam (쌈) or rice.  
 

Korean Chili Pepper Woosamgyup

The Korean Chili Pepper Woosamgyup is suitable for those enjoy powdery and pepperish dishes.

Korean Hotpot Set

Unli Hot Pot Set (Add 50 php)
