Saturday lunch was spent celebrating our help’s birthday. The rest of the afternoon was spent vegetating at home. With the gloomy skies and continuous rain shower, the day is easily characterized as a “bed weather” and there is just no reason to crawl out of bed. After a very tired week at work, it’s quite nice to have a quiet isolated time in the room. At some point though, the stomach grumbles and it’s time to move to get that hunger moan silenced.
A filling pleasant dinner at Ye Dang Korean BBQ in Ortigas did just that. We arrive at the restaurant past 8pm and we were third in line with two other groups in tow. After 15 minutes of waiting, we finally got our table. Bubba said he couldn’t believe I waited that long in line for food. I usually don’t, but curiosity was also piqued. I wondered why this restaurant is popular to both Koreans and locals alike –making it a jam-packed night.
We were once here before during lunch break when I missed eating at ARA restaurant (where the former Korean boss usually treats us) but got up and left when I realize that grill stench will stick to the clothes and I still had the afternoon to spend in the office. This time around there were no worries about that.
On the Table
Complimentary Side Dishes
Sweet Anchovies
Kimchi
I usually finish the spiced pickled lettuce even before the main dishes arrive
Sweet Peanuts
Spicy Fish Cakes
Spicy Raddish
Marble Potatoes
Sesame Leaf and Lettuce
Pork Belly (Samgyupsal) PHP 250
The samgyupsal/pork belly was first served. The table attendant worked up the grill and cooked the meat for us. The cut wasn’t impressive and it was a bit thicker than I was expecting.
Grilled Sweet Beef Ribs (Kalbi) PHP 300
The grilled sweet beef ribs made up for what the pork belly lacked –meat and taste power. It was tender, a tad sweet, bigger on beefy flavor. Best with the warm sticky rice they serve in silver containers or dunked in the brown sauce and wrapped with kimchi inside a minty shiso/sesame leaf. Refreshing way to take your meat and rice.
Green Tea PHP 50
Sweet complimentary pineapple never fails to cap off a satisfying Korean meal.

OK nice to see- useful comments are always sweet! Blessings.
Me and my korean student went to Ye Dang on my birthday. He told me that it is really popular to Koreans and locals because the taste of the korean foods here are adjusted according to Filipino taste. Another trivia, he said that he was really surprised because the girl boss there, she’s not korean, she’s Chinese. hahahahaha.

Hi, just wanna ask you if kalbi and pork belly single price is single serving or good for at least two people?
Hi Aisha!
Yes servings of either kalbi or pork belly should be okay for 2 people. Cheers!
