We have tried so many Korean restaurants before and this time we’re trying out an authentic one here in Manila. Goryeo Korean Dining is Okada Manila’s best Korean restaurant, and they specialize in Korean barbecue. The restaurant’s dining room is elegant and big, and each table has its own barbecue grill that doesn’t make smoke. The restaurant is called Goryeo (pronounced as Koryo) since this is what Korea was called in the past.

Goryeo Korean Dining is an upscale Korean barbecue restaurant with a well-curated menu that includes a wide range of tasty banchan appetizers, high-quality imported meats for grilling, and centuries-old recipes that give you a taste of Korea’s flavors.

Goryeo’s stylish decor gives off a traditional and authentic Korean vibe — thanks to art pieces and fabrics that were inspired by Korea’s ancient dynasties. The restaurant has four private dining rooms, which makes it a great place for smaller, more intimate gatherings and events.

Innovative smoke-free grilling technology is built into the modern and elegant tables to make dining a real pleasure.

The main dining room can fit people eating alone or in groups of two to eight. The air conditioning and circulation inside the restaurant are both very good. The tables are also spaced out well, which is in line with the rules set by the national government for health and safety.There is a minimum fee for using the private dining rooms, and it is best to make a reservation ahead of time.

The restaurant also has soju and wine available, and guests can also buy unique, custom-made fruit wines to take home.

Overall, our time at Goryeo Korean Dining was a good one. We usually eat Korean barbecue, but we wanted to try more Korean food. The restaurant has a Korean chef, so guests can be sure that they will only get real Korean food.

We saw that a lot of Koreans were eating at the restaurant, which made us want to try some real Korean food. We’re going to bring our Koreas friends with us so they can feel right at home in the Philippines
