Why Fantastic Baka should be your favorite Korean Restaurant
Much about the Korean culture has made a lot of Filipinos go gaga – its boy and girl group of young and talented artists, their music, their heartfelt TV dramas, their delectable food and more. This also has made a lot fly to the country to experience these things first hand. Taking this fad as an opportunity, a lot of Korean restaurants rose in different corners of the Metro. Just then, the words ‘samgyupsal’, or “unlimited Korean barbecue” is never out of everyone’s discourse. It has also become a thing shared by friends and family over good stories and laughter.

As aforementioned, a lot of Korean restaurants have been established. But, what makes Fantastic Baka worth visiting?
The Unlimited Korean Food Experience
Initially, an array of authentic Korean side dishes were laid down on our table. It was overwhelming as there are quite a lot that I would like to try one after the other. They are all visually enticing making us even more famished upon its sight. Well, I was more than surprised that these do not disappoint as each brought new and distinct flavor to my taste buds. Just when I thought that we are having too much food on our table, we were served with a platter of meat – their first set of fantastic beef. According to the staff, the guests can customize the next set of meal to be served by choosing among the kinds included in their chosen deal.
