ga mi jung

ga mi jung is not your typical korean restaurant. they are in business for about 7 years. this is a must dine -in place when you visit antipolo city, rizal province.
at first glance, one may think that it is a korean grocery or kpop karaoke, but the restaurant had attracted several loyal clientele over the years.
there are also a lot of locals and even koreans who would dined-in at the place. this place is good for friend, family and hang-out place. a small portion had some korean ice cream and foods.
the capacity is 40 ground floor and another 40 at the second floor. the second floor is more traditional as visitors are required to remove their shoes. furniture and fixture adhere to korean vibe.
seonji -haejangguk  ( ox blood hangover soup ) – this is good with rice, not toospicyand there are bit of coagulated ox blood in rich soup.
japchae – korean two kind of noodles,  glass noodles and thick wheat noodles combined. stir fry cooked in korean soy sauce, carrots, pork meat and shredded onion leeks leaves topped with sesame seeds.
jok bal -a korean dish made from pork pig trotters cooked in soy sauce , spices topped with sesame seeds , sliced fresh tomatoes and fresh lettuce leaves. the meat is wrapped in fresh lettuce leaves, sauce and adding some side dishes before eating.
galbi jjim/ kalbi jjim – it is a tender, delicious korean braised short ribs cooked using some spices in soup base. a good compliment with white jasmine rice.

the group ordered rice, sundae -gukbap/ soondae -gukbap ( blood sausage pork intestine soup) , galbi jjim, japchae, mandu ( fried dumpling) and gopchang ( pork intestine soup).

i am recommending this place to my friends, family and co-employees whenever they have a chance to visit antipolo.

great food at very reasonable prices! it is our go to place whenever we crave for korean dishes. i always order their stir fried pork. it's mildlyspicywith just a hint of sweet. really good! the bulgogi is also a winner. for dessert, they have a variety of korean ice cream. we usually have strawberry or melon flavored melona. prices range from 250-300php per dish. the servings are good enough for 2-3 persons. they also serve the usual korean sides which vary from time to time. the staple is of course, kimchi. enjoy!

a traditional korean restaurant. 👍
there are a lot of places that tell you they offer korean food, when in reality they only offer korean bbq. there are a few places that actually offer authentic korean food. i was ecstatic when i found out that there was one in this area. of course they would highlight their unlimited samgyeopsal, but i think the other offerings are more worth giving a try.

we had japchae, which was a huge of serving of glass nooldles, stir fried with mushrooms, vegetables and meat. the sweet, soy flavors were perfectly balanced better eaten piping hot. the pork galbi was also good. pork belly slices served in a sizzling plate, glazed with their sweet bbq sauce and a bit of sesame seeds. the dish i really liked was thisspicypork belly with vegetables. it was smothered inspicygochujang with cabbage, carrots, leeks and bean sprouts. ❤ it would go really well with ice cold beer or soju, but hot rice would do.

after your meal, you can also get korean ice cream or the infamous samyangspicynoodles to go.

probably the best restaurant in antipolo. ambience and service have improved alot. i usually go for their grilled mackerel orspicyseafood soup. i also love how generous they are with the side dishes.

we had a hard time booking for valentine's day, because it was really late when we realized we had time to celebrate it.

we drove and drove, stopped to check a restaurant for vacancy (multiple times), yet we failed. it was almost 9pm, when we saw this korean restaurant still open. thank heavens!

just along sumulong highway, ga mi jung is a simple and cozy korean restaurant, mostly visited by korean foreigners/residents. furnituren is a bit old, or must i say traditional?

they don't serve unlimited pork and beef, but their food is really authentic and rich in flavor and spices.

we ordered the following:

sam gyup sal - 250 - grilled pork ribs - ordinary, serves 1 plate that is good for 2

dweji galbi - 280 - marinated pork ribs - too much fat, serves 1 plate that is good for 2

sundoobu jjigae - 250 - soft tofu stew - since they ran out of kimchi jiggae, settled for the soft tofu instead. it was really spicy! and the tofu is so silky soft, i really like the texture combined with the hot andspicysoup base.

bibim bab - 300 - rice and vegetables with beef - ordinary, can serve up to

banchan is served unlimited. if not for their fishcakes, i would ignore their side dishes haha.

if not for the authenticity of the food served, would definitely marked this restaurant low.

this is our favorite authentic korean restaurant... the refillable side dish are satisfying and taste good and their kimchi is fresh.. must have dishes arespicysquid with noodles, bulgogi and sangyupsal... the cost is also ok... not too pricey.

suprisingly, this place serves really authentic korean food, it doesn't look appealing on the outside, neither in the inside, but when they serve their food, everything changes! you will frequently see korean customers here, and i think that says something. 

they give generous amount of appetizers. i suggest you get thespicybeef soup. and their kimchi rice. then finish it with their korean ice cream on stick. 

overall if you really want to go authentic, then this is the place for you. really worth visiting.

ga mi jung is an authentic korean restaurant. since i came from korea last may (2014), i can definitely say that this restaurant is basically what you will see if you dine at any regular restaurant in korea. the ambiance and the feel of this establishment is like a converted home to a dining area, from its wood furniture and decor. of course, there is the customary greeting of "annyeong haseyo" which is "hello / good day" in korean.

for starters, there is a complementary cold tea, which is a brewed tea. also as a complementary dish, you are served with vegetable salad with 6 staple appetizers (egg, potato, fish, radish and the korean signature - kimchi). let me just say that this is the first time i appreciated kimchi, i guess they served it differently here or i just got used to the taste. for our main course, we had bulgogi andspicybeef stew (i requested for a mild one, since the server said it is very spicy). we were very satisfied with our meal and it is as authentic as it gets. the serving size per order is good for 2 - 3 persons and the price is very affordable.

i highly recommend ga mi jung and you will satisfy your korean cravings for sure.  the only thing we noticed missing here from the real korean resto are the stainless steel chop sticks which are just standard utensils used in korea :)
