Oori Korean Restaurant menu
As someone who loves samgyeupsal and yakiniku, I willingly try different kinds of restaurant – especially when they offer unlimited meat! And here at Oori Korean Restaurant, we ordered as much as we could finish, so by the end of the night, we were all very full!
We arrived at Oori Korean Restaurant at about 5 PM and were quickly seated, but to be sure, we called ahead to make a reservation. However, when we went in, the place was empty, probably because it was still early.
At about 7 PM, the place started filling up, so if you’re going to dine at that time, be sure to arrive early or make a reservation. However, it seems that not many get the unlimited grill, and mostly ordered a la carte dishes!
There isn’t a separate Oori Restaurant menu that’s solely for the unlimited grill. So, all we had to refer to was the menu displayed on the table. But unlike us, you don’t have to guess what food to expect at Oori Korean Restaurant — so let’s get down to business!
Top blade
Thin slices of beef – and they’re marbled so you don’t have to worry about them getting stuck in between your teeth – were what we got when we ordered beef.
I like that they gave the same quality with every order! So, you don’t have to worry about getting bad meat batches and just eat with gusto! You can get the marinated ones, but you can also request plain salted only.
Samgyeupsal
Same as the beef slices, the samgyeupsal, or pork belly, comes with marinated and plain, so you can choose however you like your meat. My son was very happy with the marinated pork belly since he didn’t have a separate sauce.
Banchan
Depending on availability, the banchan or side dishes may differ.
And what’s included on the Oori unlimited Korean BBQ when we ate were mushrooms, fish cake, kimchi, and baby potatoes. The fish cake wasn’t spicy, although it might look like it, while the kimchi had a little bit of spiciness and tanginess.
Japchae
A generous serving of japchae came and it had many toppings as well. It was a surprise because most of the time, when we get japchae from unlimited restaurants, they usually only give noodles and some strips of carrots and spinach.
As for the taste, the sauce was mixed very well, it isn’t too sweet nor too salty, perfect to cleanse your palate, if you ate too much meat already!
Soup and Rice
Oori Korean Restaurant also serves unlimited rice and soup with their unlimited grill. The doenjang soup was a bit salty and I believe it’s just normal – because Koreans add their rice to their doenjang soup – and that’s the secret to enjoy both!
Salad and veggies
Whenever we’d be asking for lettuce refills, they always give us the complete set of veggies — with mushrooms, pumpkin, onions, and garlic. Sometimes they also give perilla leaves, if not, you have to ask for it.
As for the salad, they use Japanese sesame salad dressing — which I like! However, I don’t want to stuff on the salad, because what we came for at Oori Restaurant is the meat.
Oori Restaurant review Philippines conclusion
I was always curious about Oori Korean Restaurant, so when hubby finally wanted to try it, I immediately agreed! So, is Oori Korean Restaurant buffet price worth it? If you’re able to order a lot of meat, then I’m sure you’re getting your money’s worth.
