How Korean BBQ Works at Romantic Baboy

At Romantic Baboy, meat is ordered by cut and grilled tableside on a built-in grill at your table. Each order comes with banchan (small Korean side dishes like kimchi, pickled vegetables, and seasoned spinach). The meat is eaten by wrapping slices in perilla leaves or lettuce with garlic, dipping sauce, and ssamjang paste. Order the stews and rice dishes as accompaniments to the grill — the Kimchi Jjigae and Budae Jjigae are particularly popular alongside pork cuts.

⭐ Our Favorite Items at Romantic Baboy Menu

Woo Samgyup

₱ 374.00

Romantic Baboy’s premium pork cut — thinly sliced pork belly marinated with a slightly sweet and savory sauce that caramelizes beautifully on the grill. At ₱374 it is the most expensive pork option and the one most regulars consider the non-negotiable order. The extra marination depth separates it from the plain Herb Samgyupsal in a way that becomes immediately obvious on the first bite.

Herb Samgyupsal

₱ 317.00

The classic Romantic Baboy order — thick-cut pork belly with herb seasoning, grilled tableside until the fat renders and the edges crisp. The herbs prevent the pork from being purely fatty and add an aromatic quality that makes this the most accessible entry point into the Romantic Baboy menu for first-timers. The cut that most people return to as their default once they’ve tried everything else.

Budae Jjigae

₱ 374.00

The most iconic Korean stew that most Filipinos encounter for the first time at Romantic Baboy — “Army Stew,” a spicy broth loaded with spam, sausage, instant noodles, kimchi, tofu, and vegetables. Originally created in post-war Korea from US Army base surplus ingredients, it has evolved into a genuinely beloved dish. At Romantic Baboy, the Budae Jjigae is the stew that most consistently arrives at tables that didn’t plan to order a stew and end up ordering another.

Kimchi Jjigae

₱ 340.00

Fermented kimchi simmered with pork, tofu, and gochugaru into a deeply red, intensely flavored stew that has been Korea’s ultimate comfort food for generations. The Kimchi Jjigae at Romantic Baboy is best ordered alongside the pork grill — the sour heat of the stew cuts through the fat of the samgyupsal in a way that makes the combination greater than either dish alone. The most ordered stew on the menu.

Romantic Bulgogi

₱ 385.00

Romantic Baboy’s take on bulgogi — thinly sliced beef marinated in a sweet soy and pear-based sauce, grilled quickly on high heat. The Romantic Bulgogi caramelizes fast on the grill and benefits from being eaten immediately rather than rested. The most approachable beef option for diners who are newer to Korean BBQ and want a sweeter, less intense cut than the Yangyum Galbi.

Bibimbap

₱ 340.00

The Korean rice bowl that needs no grill — warm white rice topped with seasoned vegetables (spinach, bean sprouts, carrots, mushrooms), a fried egg, and gochujang paste, traditionally served in a hot stone bowl that crisps the bottom rice layer into nurungji. The Bibimbap is the order for anyone at the table who wants a complete standalone dish while the rest of the group is focused on the grill. Also the best rice option to pair with Romantic Baboy’s stews.

⚠️

Is Romantic Baboy Philippines Halal?

No — Romantic Baboy Philippines is not Halal Certified. The restaurant’s core menu is built around pork — samgyupsal (pork belly), Moksal (pork shoulder), and various pork-containing stews. The Budae Jjigae also contains spam and pork sausage. Muslim customers are advised to note that pork is the primary protein across most menu sections.

About Romantic Baboy Philippines

Romantic Baboy — whose name translates directly to “Romantic Pig” in Filipino — is a Korean BBQ restaurant chain that positioned itself as the accessible KBBQ option for the Philippine market. At a time when Korean BBQ in the Philippines was either too expensive for regular dining or too informal to feel like a genuine Korean restaurant experience, Romantic Baboy found the middle ground: a proper tableside grill setup, authentic banchan service, real Korean stews and rice dishes, and prices that make weekly visits financially practical.

The brand’s menu reflects a straightforward interpretation of what Filipinos actually order at Korean BBQ restaurants — thick samgyupsal and marinated cuts as the grill centerpieces, Kimchi Jjigae and Budae Jjigae as the stew anchors, and Kimchi Fried Rice and Bibimbap as the rice alternatives. The Robboki (tteokbokki-style noodle dish) and Bibik Kooksoo (cold noodle soup) round out the menu with Korean noodle options that pair well with the grill.

With multiple branches across Metro Manila and continuing expansion, Romantic Baboy has been one of the key chains responsible for making Korean BBQ a standard part of the Philippine casual dining rotation — particularly among younger Filipino diners who grew up watching Korean dramas and developed genuine appreciation for Korean food culture alongside the entertainment.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Romantic Baboy is most famous for its Korean BBQ pork cuts — particularly the Woo Samgyup (₱374), Herb Samgyupsal (₱317), and Moksal (₱317) grilled tableside. The Budae Jjigae (Army Stew, ₱374) and Kimchi Jjigae (₱340) are the most ordered stews. On the beef side, the Romantic Bulgogi (₱385) and Yangyum Galbi (₱396) are the most popular. The restaurant is also known for making Korean BBQ accessible at affordable prices with proper banchan service.

Samgyupsal (삼겹살) is Korean grilled pork belly — “samgyup” means three-layered (the fat and meat layers of pork belly) and “sal” means flesh. At Romantic Baboy, there are four pork options: Herb Samgyupsal (₱317, pork belly with herb seasoning — the classic), Daepae Samgyupsal (₱317, wide-cut pork belly slices), Moksal (₱317, pork neck/shoulder cut — slightly leaner with more chew), and Woo Samgyup (₱374, premium marinated pork belly). Each is grilled tableside and eaten with banchan, dipping sauces, and wrapping leaves.

Budae Jjigae (부대찌개, ₱374) — literally “Army Base Stew” — is a Korean stew that originated after the Korean War when food was scarce and locals would combine US Army base surplus ingredients (spam, hot dogs, baked beans) with Korean staples like kimchi, gochujang, and ramyun noodles. The result is a spicy, deeply flavored stew that has become one of Korea’s most beloved comfort foods. At Romantic Baboy, the Budae Jjigae is served bubbling in a claypot and is best eaten alongside the pork grill — the spicy, tangy broth cuts through the grilled pork fat effectively.

Robboki (₱226) is Romantic Baboy’s version of a dish combining ramyun (Korean instant noodles) with tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) — a popular Korean street food combination that became famous in Korean dramas and food vlogs. The result is a spicy, chewy, satisfying noodle-and-rice-cake dish in gochujang sauce. It is the most creative item on the noodle section and the one most likely to be recognized by K-drama fans who have seen it appear in Korean food scenes.

For a first visit to Romantic Baboy: start with one order of Herb Samgyupsal (₱317) as the classic entry-point pork cut, add one Kimchi Jjigae (₱340) or Budae Jjigae (₱374) as the stew accompaniment, and order Kimchi Fried Rice (₱249) or Bibimbap (₱340) as the rice dish. Plain Rice (₱45) is the most economical option if you prefer neutral rice alongside the grill and stew. If your group wants to try the beef, the Romantic Bulgogi (₱385) is the most approachable beef option for Korean BBQ newcomers.

Yes! Romantic Baboy Philippines is available for delivery through GrabFood and Foodpanda at select branches. Note that the Korean BBQ grill experience (tableside grilling) is by definition a dine-in experience — delivery orders will cover the stews, rice dishes, noodles, and pre-cooked/uncooked meat, but the full samgyupsal experience is best enjoyed in-restaurant.
