Mokja! Korean Restaurant on Maginhawa St.

Lately, I've been craving for Korean food -- especially samgyupsal -- quite often and so been frequenting places where I could have it. One of such places is Mokja! along Maginhawa St. in Quezon City, which is a gem for having a side dish buffet so you don't have to ask for what you want from the servers every so often.
And the sides are aplenty! The last time I was there, two meat dishes were even included. My friend joked that we better cancel our orders 
and just feast on the sides. Tee-hee.
Anyway, there were also three kinds of fruits -- watermelon, papaya and pineapple, and even sweet potatoes and sweet saba bananas. There are two kinds of soup too and both are delish especially the kimchi soup. The meats for grilling have good quality and marinade so your Korean barbecue comes out heavenly and indeed, crave-worthy! 
You could order the Unli 4-Meat Combo at P349; 5-Meat Combo at P449 and 8-Meat Combo at P599. If you want cheese to dip your barbecue in, add P50 
to your combo for that satisfaction to the max!
I don't eat so much meat, though, so I, as well as my friends, always order the 4-Meat Combo, which is already a lot, we have a hard time finishing everything! Haha!

The side dishes on our first visit.
 Included here are two kinds of soup, fresh lettuce, baby potatoes, onions, tofu, kimchi, radish, fried eggplant, sweet-spicy anchovies, sweetened sweet potatoes and saba banana and fresh fruits, among others. For drinks, 
there's iced tea and cucumber juice.

Sides on our second visit.
 There are two kinds of meat dishes included this time while 
the rest are basically the same. 

The 4-Meat Combo, P349.
Consists of Sweet, Spicy and Original Samgyeopsal and Kalsamgyeopsal 
(the thick-cut meat).

Grill, grill, grill

Now, eat, eat, eat!

Inside Mokja!-Maginhawa
It's good we arrived early on two occasions 'coz the place would soon become 
full of diners, who mostly arrive in big groups.

Mokja! at the 3rd level, #80 Maginhawa St.,
Diliman, Quezon City



It's always an enjoyable, extremely filling and satisfying meal that we have at Mokja! The meats and side dishes are delicious and you can have them without limit at unbelievably low prices! That's real value for money without compromising taste. No wonder the Maginhawa branch is always full. And it's obvious that they need to expand so no one would have to wait in line outside. My goal now is to also go to the Banawe branch with my family, which is 
bigger, I heard. These holidays, I hope!
