Kimstaurant, a time-tested favorite from Bacolod City and known as the best Korean restaurant from the City of Smiles, makes its way to Cebu!
Before anything else, let me share a bit of background if you haven’t heard of Kimstaurant yet. This Korean restaurant was established in October 2010 in the City of Smiles. “Looking back eight years ago, I noticed that there were only a few Korean restaurants there,” Kim shares. “So I decided to put up my own, with the goal for it to be the best Korean restaurant in the city.” Since then, Kimstaurant has become a go-to destination for locals, encouraging Kim to branch out to Cebu. “I confidently know that, just like our main branch, Kimstaurant will be a big success here.”
I got to try a few dishes during our visit and boy I sure can say why this is a big hit at their original city. Everything from the menu was so good as their ingredients are imported fresh from Korea to ensure the most authentic taste.
There is also a varied selection of Yakiniku, including Samgyupsal, Deji Galbi, and Kosal, which diners can eat all they can from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. These come with unlimited servings of side dishes and appetizers, including kimchi.
Dolsot Bibimbap
sizzling stone pot rice mixed vegetables, beef, kotsujang (Korean chili paste), and egg — strikes a mouthwatering balance between sweet and spicy.
Japchae
Mixed dish of boiled bean threads, stir-fried vegetables, and shredded meat
Beef Galbi Jjim
Choice of either spicy or regular braised short beef ribs
Duengjang Jjigae
Kimchi and tofu stew with plain rice
Soy Sauce Chicken
Bonchon-style fried chicken made from a recipe perfected by Kimstaurant’s General Manager, Peter Kim.
Samgyeopsal
Grilled Pork
Yukhoe
Korean-style raw beef with egg. Peter’s personal favorite and my own list of must try! I’m not a fan of raw anything but this taste nothing close to raw at all. Worth the try!
Quick OOTD 😀
