Woo Galbi is a restaurant serving up modern Korean cuisine that "pursues authenticity through flavors". It is located in the 6th Floor, East Wing of Edsa Shangri-La Mall. In this blog post, we will unravel the goodness (or possibly the opposite) of the dishes it offers.

First, let us briefly talk about the place itself. Since Woo Galbi is located in the East Wing of the mall (which is highly modernized and luxurious), it is expected that the interior will be attractive and grand to be at par with the design of the wing. Without disappointing us, Woo Galbi was able to cope up with the high expectations. My only concern was the lack of free space. Although I am not claustrophobic, it made me feel uneasy and not fully comfortable.

Free Appetizers in Woo Galbi - 6 Variants!

Although the serving size is small for the free appetizers, you can request for more! We actually had 3 sets for our appetizers because we were very hungry by the time we arrive at the place (i.e. already 1:05 pm). From the 6 choices, my favorites are the sweet potatoes and dilis (small dried fish).

Woo's House Salad

I didn't taste this one because I want to save my lettuce appetite for the grilled dishes. The only comment I can give is that it's affordable enough for you to try it out!

Woo Specials - Grilled Beef Belly

This Woo Special Grilled Beef Belly will remind you of a samgyupsal. The distinct difference is that it offers a sweeter and more flavorful taste, and because of this, you may no longer find the need to dip the meat to the sauces served. Of course, this one pairs up really well with a lettuce!

Japcahe || P298

Japchae Noodles of Woo Galbi

I was so busy tasting other dishes that I neglected this semi-sweet Japchae! To be honest with you, I intentionally ignored this because I don't find Japchae appetizing for me.
