It’s finally here!
I’ve been a legit fan of Samgyupsal restaurants ever since they became a fad here in the Philippines. I remember not having a week go by without visiting a restaurant that served a variety of meats with different yummy side dishes, especially my favorite kimchi, japchae, and fishcake.
When I heard about the newest restaurant in SM North that serves my favorite Korean BBQ and received great reviews from my friend because of the meat quality and the ambiance, I knew I had to try it!



Maple Tree House: Renowned Korean BBQ Sensation
From Seoul, Korea, now in the Philippines to share the best and most authentic Korean BBQ with Pinoy Samgyupsal lovers!
Maple Tree House has been grilling delicious marinated meat since 2005. Their premium Korean BBQ in the heart of Samchong-dong was an instant hit, and their success sprouted branches throughout Seoul. Today, they have three locations, serving delicious marinated meats and providing an amazing customer experience like no other.


As part of their expansion, they just opened their first branch in the Philippines last April 15, 2024, at the 2nd Level, North Towers, SM City North Edsa, Quezon City, by Viva Skylar Food Inc./Viva International Food and Restaurant Inc. They promised to introduce an unparalleled dining experience to discerning patrons who appreciate the fusion of tradition and modernity in Korean cuisine.
“Our mission is to provide Filipino diners with an elevated culinary journey, showcasing the finest quality meats and traditions of Korean barbecue in a modern setting,” said Karen Kho, Co-President of Viva Skylar Food Inc., in an interview during the opening of the first Philippine store.
The Taste and the Ambiance
Your hands are free—free from turning your favorite marinated meat on the grill—because a representative from Maple Tree House will do that on your behalf. Yes! They will cook your meat and refill your side dishes while you and your barkadas are chit-chatting about life and other things. Ansaya, di ba?


And the meat! Goodness, the best! The taste was heavenly. Perfectly marinated with all the right spices, plus it was so tender (compared with other meat I had at other Korean BBQ restaurants)—soft, easy to chew, and with a pleasant texture. I am sure you will ask for more additional meat plates!
