If you’ve been riding the Hallyu<\/em> (Korean wave), without a doubt, you might be addicted to their food too. Initially, Korean restaurants in the Philippines primarily served Korean expatriates, but the bold flavors and communal dining style quickly captivated Filipino diners.<\/p>\n

As a result, samgyeopsal<\/em> joints, street food stalls, and specialty grocery stores have popped across the country like mushrooms. For those in Poblacion, here is a dining secret worth sharing: HARU Korean Restaurant<\/strong> has completed its transformation and is now known as Mansun Korean Restaurant<\/strong>, a Makati spot that sets the bar high for Korean dining in the area.<\/p>\n

It has a spacious interior with ample seating arrangements that can comfortably accommodate groups of diners. The dining area has tables fitted with individual grill stations, perfect for grilling samgyupsal<\/em> and cooking shabu-shabu<\/em>, and is complemented by a sleek aesthetic.<\/p>\n

Mansun also features three private rooms<\/strong>, making it a convenient choice for intimate celebrations, family gatherings, business meals, or private get-togethers. VIP Rooms 1 and 2<\/strong> can each accommodate up to six guests, while VIP Room 3<\/strong> is ideal for larger groups, with seating for around 10 to 12 guests.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is well-regarded for its diverse menu, offering a variety of traditional Korean dishes such as bibimbap<\/em>, shabu-shabu<\/em>, and the all-time Filipino favorite samgyupsal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

For those craving something warm and gently spicy, the Haemul Doenjang Jjigae<\/strong> is a comforting choice. This seafood soybean paste stew has a deep, savory broth with the earthy richness of doenjang, balanced by the natural sweetness of seafood. Its spice level is usually mild to moderate, giving the soup a pleasant kick without overpowering its hearty, umami-filled flavor.<\/p>\n

To mark its fresh new beginning, Mansun has also introduced steamed and grilled butterfish<\/strong>, also known as pampano<\/em>, to its menu. This addition gives guests another flavorful option beyond the usual Korean barbecue favorites, offering a lighter yet satisfying seafood dish that highlights the fish\u2019s naturally tender texture and delicate flavor.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, Mansun has also expanded its menu with a selection of sushi, giving guests even more choices to enjoy. These include unagi (freshwater eel), Lapu-Lapu (grouper), salmon, tuna, ebi (shrimp), uni (sea urchin), tobiko (flying fish roe), and tamago (Japanese-style egg omelet)<\/strong> sushi. They also now serve assorted sashimi<\/strong> for those looking for something fresh, light, and satisfying.<\/p>\n
