leann's tea house

masarap dito ung sangyupsal. okay ung sides, okay ung meats. okay din ang waiters nagkkusa sila baka dahil sservicecharge. food is 5/5. d ko na rrate ungservicekasi hindi naman tlga yun ang irrate mo s isang kainan kundi ung pagkain talaga but they're great.

as far as korean grills go, the fare is pretty standard. theserviceon the other hand may take the cake. friendly, and accommodating staff will greet you. from the pleasant security assisting you with parking, to the attentive waiters and waitresses (they even offered to, and did grill our meat for us), to the owner who opens the door for you as you come in and leave. 👍👍👍
on the flip side, seating is a bit low, making the grill about eye level, if uour not a 6 footer, and the local news in filioino on the tv kinda killed the korean vibe. 👎
for around 1k for 2? not bad, not bad at all. this definitely warrants a repeat visit!
👍👍

first time here and will never go back!

planning to have a korean dinner with my cousin just to catch up, so i checked zomato and saw that this resto is the most reccomended..

arriving the resto..
❌ no proper parking area (you park on the street)

went inside and luckily we have a seat but sharing it with other customers because the place is too crowded and caters only about 10 tables (so the place is small)

ordering..
we ordered about 6 ala carte dishes since we choose not to eat the "unli pork/beef" then the waiter told us that we wont be grilling our own food since we ordered only ala carte (❌strike 1). then came the 4 side dish which korean resto gives as a starter. then we ask for a refill of the side dish then the waiter w/ an attitude said we can only have 1 refill since we didn't order the "unlimited." which for me and my cousin that's so unlikely for a korean resto since other restos are so genuine in giving side dishes as long as you order 2 or more dishes from their menu. (❌already turned off!! strike 2) then came our order of the korean beef barbeque, the waiter gave only 1 set of sauce for it, so we asked for 1 sauce per each, then the waiter with an attitude told us for every order of the bbq 1 sauce only. wth?! really? you want us a group of 4 to share 1 tiny sauce to dip into?! (❌strike 3) laway niya laway mo?! my cousin got pissed how the way of the waiter told us that she even offered to pay for every sauce, because the waiter keeps repeating that we should share 1 set of sauce. anyway, so we had our dinner the food was ok all basic except fo ethe kimchi rice which we enjoyed a lot. good thing the food is ok, but having good food is not enough if you have a badservice❌❌❌

overall review:
✔️✔️food
✔️ value for money
❌❌❌service
❌❌cleanliness

the first time i visited here, i was with my best friend and i really enjoyed it. so on my second time, i brought my mom and my brother to celebrate mom’s day. the food tasted the same as my first time. we ordered japchae, sea food pancake, samgyupsal, tonkatsu rice and mango shake. i really enjoyed the japchae and seafood pancake. nothing phenomenal in terms of taste but definitely good. the tonkatsu tasted bland and the pork was dry. sauce was not enough for it but i really like that it has side salad

the pork belly (samgyupsal) was alright. but my brother thought that it needed more frying.

servings were really generous. everything was good for two or three people but of course it depends on how much you guys eat.

side dishes was so-so and i really thought they would have different kinds of them.

i love theserviceof this place. staffs were really nice and friendly. you could tell that they’re exhausted from all the running (it’s a three floor building) but when they talk to you, they’re all smiles. even the owners, the pretty lady and her mom were very nice and accommodated everybody really well.

i guess they could really upped their space. we were fifth in line and had to wait for 30 minutes because there was not enough tables to accommodate everybody and it really feels a quite crowded. hopefully they get a bigger place soon.

is it worth to visit? definitely. price is really cheap compared to others but just expect to wait in line and maybe dont bring a car as they have limited parking space too.

5/5!serviceis very great. food as well. maraming side dishes. better than samgyupsalamat for me. would definitely go back when free. free tea was great as well.

definitely a hidden gem! theservicewe received was great, and the staff acted so fast with our request even when the tables started to become occupied. we appreciate the free kimchi! looking forward to visiting the place again. ❤️❤️❤️

after sometime i was finally able to go back here. im glad they opened for dining during gcq, i leave a few blocks away from the place so i decided to give it another try. due to gcq they have reservation protocols. i find their reservation system efficient and responsive. july 25 10:30 am was out slot.

we were 2 pax and the 1st dine in customers for that day. we were greeted cheerfully and accomodated after a few minutes of waiting in their receiving area. we had to write on their logbook as another sop during gcq period. i wish we dont have to personally write on the logbook though, im thinking a lot of peapole will have to to touch the pen and logbook and it may be risky.

we ordered the same 499 unli pork and beef. the staff assigned to us was very attentive and courteous. all dishes were complete and refills were done in a timely manner. the food of course were delicious. loved their lettuce salad and dressing. we didnt touch the lettuce and just consumed the salad with continous refill. overall experience was great. the only issue i had was their grill /stove’s heat
cannot be lowered- it was just on or off, making it really inconvenient if you want to rest on cooking a bit.

im curious about their meltique beef- i’ll try that out next time.

———————————————-
availed of their 499 unli pork and beef. the taste and quality of meat is just the same as other samgeup place within the area. true that their beef cut is thicker - i didnt like it because it gets tough to chew when cooked well done. i have no complains on theirservicecrews- they are all polite, all smiles and very accomodating. what i have a problem with was their attentiveness in refilling orders. took us 4 follow ups for them to give our order of 1 bulgogi refill and the soup that should have been served first along with the side dishes. literally we have no meat on our table and grill for a good amount of time and they were just passing by. the table beside us just ordered once after our 3rd followup and yet they were given refills first- we ordered the same meat. we also had to followup 3 times for our bill.

they serve authentic jjajangmyeon. the meat choices are limited and theservicewas slow. the price is a bit more expensive compared to other "eat-all-you-can" korean restaurants around. the only upside is that they offer other food aside from the grilled meat.

its just sooo good. i keep coming back for the meltique beef. its part of the cbp premium unli pork and beef. their cheese is real mozzarella. food is always fresh and good.serviceis always above par. its like eating the best samggyup without paying expensive prices.

i went here last october with my boyfriend and theservicewas the b e s t. the staff was so accommodating and attentive, not to mention their premium meat was so good! it was all worth-it!! i suggest you try their high quality (premium) meat. will definitely come back here again ☑️

goos food and goodserviceevery time i visit leann’s. i love the cut of the meat, the cheese is good too. the sauces are amazing, especially the samjang which is just the right combination of spicy and sweet.

one of my luxury treat is eating samgyupsal, i know its surprising since i have eaten at several for quite some time but trust me when i say that i rarely eat samgyupsal i really do. another thing i would like to say is i am also quite picky with places to eat samgyupsal because not a lot of samgyupsal places really serve great quality meat or theirserviceis not at par to my liking.

and i think i have found a place i can say i am comfortable because of the variety of meat selections and also its near my place so if i want to splurge for a bit i think this will be the place i can go to. i am talking about leann's teahouse.

located at mother ignacia, quezon city this restaurant actually started out as the typical korean restaurant that serves ala carte korean dishes and since samgyupsal has risen into popularity, they also included unlimited samgyupsal in their menu!

they have three sets which are the unli pork (399.00 pesos) unli pork & beef (499.00 pesos) cpb premium (599.00 pesos) i would suggest getting the cpb premium because you get the best of everything plus meltique beef. i will tell you guys more about meltique beef in a while.

to be honest the selection of meat they have are similar to other restaurants but their secret weapon is their meltique meat. meltique is actually top graded meat from australia which is similar to the japanese wagyu beef. its soft, melt in your mouth goodness is what i actually love. another one of my favorite is their thinly sliced pork belly and beef cuts because they are so amazing to eat i think i ate about 3 servings each of those alone. napakamasiba mode lanangpake ganun!

aside from the meat, they have one of the best tasting kimchi in town because its not that spicy and doesn't have that pungent smell. i was able to take home some and made kimchi pancake with it and its the best thing to eat late at night while writing reviews if you ask me haha!

aside from samgyupsal i was able to try also their ala carte servings of pajeon or korean pancake which is fit to feed about 3 people (large eaters) or about 6 people if they are not large eaters. the pajeon is actually great and full of the toppings into it which makes the taste better than other places.

i was able to try this cheese kimchi rice and i am in love. its creamy and salty from the cheese with a kick of spice from the kimchi. another one is the korean fried chicken. its sweet with a bit of spice into it which i can suggest great to pair up with beer.

i wasn't able to try the soups since i was quite full at this point but those are seafood soup which smelled amazing, i will have to go back for sure to try those.

one thing i can say i love about leann's tea house is its not just your regular samgyupsal place because it also offers authentic korean food if you don't want to stuff yourself too much. the place might be small but its not stuffy or hot. its very cozy and perfect to spend time with your friends and family.

i've always wanted to try eating here and i was especially hungry after the first weekend of the licensure exam for physicians (and sad because omg anatomy why u like dat huhu) so i thought this would be the best place to drown my sorrows. lol. we arrived at around 7:45pm and i was a little worried because i thought there would be a long line. we were very lucky to get a table right away. we opted for the most expensive choice for unlimited meat. theservicewas super fast and super good too. shoutout to our waiter kuya chris who was always funny and liked to explain a lot about the restaurant. kuya chris was also super helpful and whenever he passed by he always asked if we wanted this or that refilled whenever one particular dish was gone. we didn't even have to call his attention much when we needed something because he was always very vigilant. the other guy who was with him was also super helpful. 🤗

when the food arrived we were absolutely floored. the meat was so good!! we especially enjoyed the meltique beef. it was a really good cut and kuya chris said this is the one they usually get for steakhouses. at least here you can have as much of it as you want. it was so tender and juicy and gaaahh just so good. 😭 the shoulder blade was also very good!! it was marinated and very juicy. it was a little sweet but it was good. they only serve one plate of it though since around 1kg is worth 1000 pesos. but it was a really good deal. 🤗🤗 the pork was also really good!! i love how it isn't all fat. the sides were also good! they have salad, this mashed potato with vegetables in it, and some sweet beans, and some soup. they are all excellent. you can also cook cheese and egg here. they offered some corn that you can cook and it's in this sweet, milky and cheese-like sauce and it is the bomb.
i really enjoyed it here since you get good meat and great service. even the guard of the place was really friendly. haha. i've tried at a lot of places that offer unlimited meat for grilling but this is officially my favorite one.

we came here at around ~6pm last thursday, and there were only two servers with about 4-5 tables occupied. yet, theservicewas quick! props to these early birds who were very courteous and quick on their feet.

the food was okay, we loved their samgyupsal, woosamgyup was just okay, bulgogi not so much. generally, ban chan offered tasted good. however, the kimchi was waaaaay too sour. :( i don’t remember it tasting this way the first time i ate here. nonetheless, we enjoyed the experience.

the food is not good. side dishes are not good. not authentic korean. the kimchi looks weird. the color is weird and it looks like it was old. well i really think it’s ild coz it’s too sour. the kimchi jjigae that i ordered is super sour it tasted as if they put in tamarind mix for sinigang. i’ve had a lot of kimchi jjigae in the past and i was disappointed by this one. im giving 5 stars to their service. the staffs are always smiling.serviceis fast. they dont have a parking space which is bad considering the strict parking rules nowadays.
