  • Makchang Korean Grill Restaurant in Ermita, Manila
  • Filipinos have recently developed a love for Korean food. At present, it’s the Korean barbecue craze that has captured the hearts and tummies of most foodies. Although almost every restaurant shares the same food to serve, it’s always those with good value for price that we love. And that’s why we love Makchang Korean Grill Restaurant in Ermita, Manila.

    Look at these generous portions of meat! From front to back: Woo-Samgyub (Php 350), Pork Galbi (Php 350) and Beef Galbi (Php 690)

    Makchang Korean Grill Restaurant is found at the opposite side of Robinsons Place Manila. This restaurant is simple in terms of its interiors. Its no-frills surroundings tell much about the restaurant itself: it focuses more on their food. The place looks very industrial with its out-in-the-open pipes that add to the industrial vibe of the restaurant.

    What a lot of people love about Makchang is their food. Everything costs less than Php 1,000, and with their generous servings, it will surely not disappoint those who plan to dine in groups. Makchang uses charcoal to grill their meats, which creates a smoky flavor. Their bestsellers Beef Galbi (Php 690), Samgyeopsal (Php 300), and Pork Galbi (Php 350) are what we recommend for you to order. These meats are perfectly seasoned to create that delicious barbecue taste everyone will crave for.

    Makchang also makes sure that their side dishes best complement their meats. They have unlimited side dishes such as kimchi, sweet potato, and scallions so you may order as much as you want! It’s also worth mentioning that they have very accommodating staff so if you need help with your Korean barbecue experience, you may approach their waiters to help you grill the meats.

    Palm Grill in Quezon City: Discover the Bold Flavors of Zambasulta Cuisine
    Palm Grill in Quezon City is a one-of-a-kind dining destination that brings the authentic cuisine of South of Mindanao to Luzon. Established in 2017, Palm Grill proudly serves the rich flavors, vibrant culture, and storied history of the Zambasulta region—Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi—offering diners a rare opportunity to explore Southern Mindanaon dishes without leaving Metro Manila. Known as the only authentic Southern Mindanaon restaurant in Luzon, Palm Grill goes beyond simply serving food. It showcases culinary traditions deeply rooted in Tausug and Zamboangueño heritage, highlighting ingredients and cooking techniques that are not commonly found in mainstream Filipino restaurants. A must-try for first-time diners is the Dulang (Php 1,119)—a specialty tray traditionally served during royal banquets. This curated sampler features a variety of Palm Grill’s signature dishes, making it the perfect introduction to the bold and layered flavors of Zambasulta cuisine. Presented generously and meant for sharing, it reflects the communal spirit of Southern dining. Another standout is the Tiyula Itum (Php 560), a striking black beef soup from the Tausug community. Cooked with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, garlic, onions, and pepper, its distinctive dark color comes from burnt coconut meat, which imparts a deep, smoky richness. Often described as “Bulalo 2.0,” it offers a comforting yet complex flavor profile that surprises and delights. For something hearty and satisfying, the Beef Satti (Php 300) delivers skewered beef served with a flavorful sauce that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes. It’s a beloved Southern staple that captures the bold personality of Mindanao’s cuisine. Through its thoughtfully prepared dishes and dedication to authenticity, Palm Grill continues to champion the culinary identity of Zambasulta. For diners in Quezon City seeking flavors beyond the usual Filipino fare, Palm Grill offers an immersive experience—where history, culture, and cuisine come together in every bite.
