NEW RADIMI: A VERY AFFORDABLE AND DELICIOUS GETAWAY

DISCLAIMER: We judge based on our own criteria!

Looking for an affordable place to eat has always been a burden on us, especially when you're craving for some samgyupsal! Another worth-it samgyupsal was what we had this sunny day, which we call our "home court"! We've been eating at this establishment for 2 years now and it has not failed us in quality! (Yet.) But we haven't been able to review the place, so when the opportunity came, we did. 

New Radimi entrance decorated with so many tarps

New Radimi is a Korean Restaurant situated at #2015 Mabini Street Malate Manila. Beside Ambassador Hotel. The place mostly has wood elements for that authentic Korean feel, with a grill on each wooden table. They had tables for up to 4 people, long tables up to 8 people for large groups. The place is spacious enough for easy moving while the buffet tables are by the back near the kitchen. The only problem that customers might face with the grill is that they don't have an exhaust for the smoke, so things might get a little cloudy when the place gets a full house. The grill is also hard to manage when it comes to the accumulated oil in the grill. You'll have to lift the side of the grill to pour out the oil through the small hole at the side of the grill, and a little caution, some sparks (of oil) may fly.

The place holds up to 50 people

The grill with some sample side dishes

The bathroom is near the kitchen, with a divider separating the bathroom from the kitchen. The bathroom's space is a little small, enough for just the toilet and a trash can. There's no sink or mirrors inside, there's also no bidet or buckets with a pail for use. You'll have to ask the staff for some tissue. It's a real downer of you ask us, but we came for the food nevertheless. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but like ninjas, as soon as they come they tend to disappear as well. You'll have to shout a little to catch their attention, especially during the morning when there are less customers. When we ate there, we were the only customers until lunch time. But if you're a regular like us, you'll get to appreciate the silence.

Their samgyupsal consists of 3 types of marinated pork, Galbi, Spicy, and Herbs, and an unseasoned one. We didn't get to take a picture since we were too busy eating, but we personally liked the unseasoned one and the spicy pork! It's not too spicy and has a rich flavor for you to enjoy. They will provide you with tongs and scissors for the meat, and allow you to enjoy their buffet tables filled with side dishes and entrees. What's good about this establishment is that you get to make your own bibimbap! They have a wide array of side dishes for you to choose from, and we would recommend you try them all, especially the tofu and sweet potatoes which is our personal favorite. But we were informed that their side dishes changed every week depending the availability of the ingredients, so enjoy what you get!

The delicious side dishes!

If you want to pair that samgyupsal with some good ol' ramyun, they offer it for only 50PHP. The ramyun was too spicy for us so we didn't get to enjoy it that much, they also have some cheese for your dipping pleasure! But sadly, rather than offering it for unlimited dipping, they offer it for 50PHP per serving, which was way too few for 2 massive eaters like us. We hope they offer it as unlimited as well because we were really heartbroken by it. 

That's how few the cheese per serving is.

If you're full from all that samgyupsal goodness, they also sell ice cream for dessert, which are Melona and Samanco. A real winner was that they also had green tea flavored Samanco! The only thing we didn't like was that they don't serve you with that much care, the staff merely assembles the table for you, gives you the pork and then leaves you. So if you don't or didn't get informed on their upgrades via their facebook page, you'll have no chance of finding out they have new offers! We had to ask the staff if they served different flavored meats or had cheese before they entertained the idea. That was upsetting because we had already ate their twice before we realized they offered those! But overall, it was an enjoyable stay and the food was delicious especially for 300PHP! We still consider it our home court!
