Restaurant details
Reviewed January 14, 2018

I ordered a lot for 4 people knowing it will be good food as the price is high. I was so disappointed. the bibimbap is so ordinary, the ramen is out of the packet noodles (like karenderia) I expect a chef made noodles. I wasted 2,740 pesos for a karenderia-like food. I will never again go to this restaurant.

When my cravings for Korean food is on, Secret Garden is the place to go. Well, it's not my first time to eat here as I always tagged along with me my friends. I really appreciate the taste of their food but I somehow could feel that I am not pleased with their service. The crew seems to be very polite but when it comes to attending your needs and orders, they are not that really good at all.

One thing I've noticed: waiters/waitresses should use a pen and paper when taking orders. I am impressed as to how the waitress remembered all of the food we ordered but that will leave a bad impression to others. Even staff who are working in luxurious restaurants use a pen and paper in taking down guests orders.

Also, I've noticed one female crew... well I am not really sure of what her position in that establishment is, but she only attends to male guests. How about us females, aren't you supposed to serve and attend to our needs too?

The place is just fine and the food is great. Maybe work more on the staff's guest training and I am sure, this place would be jjang(best)!

We went to have lunch for the first in this place. I really like their foods but I was not so impressed with the whole place. Especially it was named SECRET GARDEN, so I thought there's a nice relaxing garden to look at while enjoying our meal. Well just saying.

I really would have enjoyed the food because they were all delicious; but the service was just terrible because of the waitress who attended to us. She wasn't attentive enough to ask us if we'd like to cook the BBQ for ourselves. They served our BBQ orders already cooked and I was disappointed by that because we weren't really in a hurry. We just wanted to enjoy ourselves before eating, and cooking it ourselves would do the trick.

I recommend that they should train their staff well next time. Ask the costumers or suggest to the costumers of what they want.

Four of us sat down for an evening of sampling korean food and drinking and reminiscing school ties. The kim chee was delicious, as well as the noodles and e fresh vegetables. The Korean barbecue was great, of course. Nice place to party with frienthds. Quiet, too.
