Geonbae Modern Korean Bar and Grill

GOOD FOOD,GOOD MOOD AT DELGADO 112. We went here to celebrate our anniversary, we reserved our seats morning that day since it’s friday, anticipating that was full house. These are what we ordered, Sopa de Mariscos, Calamari Kani Pintxo, Salmon wellington, Baked chicken, Truffle pasta and Sangria. Calming ambience, relaxing interior. Super like the taste of grilled shrimp of Calamari Pinxto, salmon is fresh, the gravy of Baked chicken is a bit sweet for me,you’ll taste the white wine, truffle pasta is creamy truffle taste is not too strong, Tartufo paella is what i love most however they missed the socarat on their paella. Total of all is 4635 pesos. Overall, will choose to come back again here. Thank you Jay for assisting us. 👍🏻 🌟🌟🌟

We went there for lunch. Food is great, but the serving for Gambas was small. We recommend the Paella Negra, Bone Marrow Sisig & Frozen Brazo de Mercedes. We only had a little problem with the parking, they had 2 - 3 slots in front of their restaurant so we had to look around the area to find parking. Service was excellent too, they attended quickly when we needed. However, they don’t have service water so we had to buy overpriced bottled water. Overall, our experience was okay. We liked the food, the service & atmosphere and would definitely go back to try dinner.

I went here during off-peak hours with my partner and our puppy. I’m not sure if they’re officially pet-friendly, but they allowed us to dine in with our dog since they noticed that our pet is well-behaved. The food tasted good! You can tell by the number of people dining in which were a lot, even during off-peak hours. The portion sizes were more than enough for us, as we’re just two people and want to avoid wasting food as much as possible. The only challenging part was the parking, but overall, it was a good dining experience.

You need a reservation to have a breeze-like experience, but even so, on most nights it is full (even on a weekday!) so expect a busy dinner on most days. Amazing food in actuality and there's both western choices, filipino choices. (suggestions: tartufo paella w/ melted burrata, truffle pasta, prosciutto pizza, grape salad) I suggest going for the western viands for sharing as a lot of the meat quality for their filipino viands are generous BUT very chewy (either overcooked or not prepared to the best intent). Must try the bone marrow sisig and get the bread instead of the rice. HOWEVER: it is very off-putting that they do not provide service water which is typically a standard service provided to most restaurants in the area, and you either bring your own water (in a water jug) OR buy it from them at an exorbitant price per bottle. It is not a surprise to buy your own water from a place, but to price it so high when a lot of the restos in the area provide service water is weird.

First Visit: Our experience overall was a mix of good and bad. RESERVING in advance is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. We waited for over an hour to be seated (the chairs were not comfy btw), whereas people who reserved were already seated immediately. The food overall was good, although there are certain aspects that need improvement. I appreciate the dried chili served separately for the Thai salad. However, the Tartufo paella was very dry. It is significantly more delicious when served hot, compared to when it's already cool on the plate, so make sure to eat it as quickly as possible. Speaking of the dryness, they do not serve cold water, only bottled water for a price. Their butterbeer was too sweet for me, but it worked well with the rich flavor of the dishes. The soup and pasta were very flavorful, and the salmon wellington has great presentation matching the quality of its taste. Service needs improvement! It started with the difficulty to find parking. We ended up going around 3 times before we found parking elsewhere. We wish we were guided better at least. While waiting, one of the servers told us we were next, but let 2 or 3 other groups in. Apparently there was confusion. During our meal, sometimes we would ask a question, and the server would answer it but would immediately disappear before we get to order the food related to our inquiry. They are helpful with taking pictures, and they attend faster when it came to payment. When we left, it didn't feel as welcoming as other restaurants (i.e. lack of thanks for coming, or something). From start to end, it's like they didn't really want us. We were casual walk-ins anyway, but we still wish service was better overall. The ambience is soothing at first. At a certain time, the lights would go out, the candles would light up, and the DJ would start playing music. Several tita from other tables started vibing and dancing, so the mood was great! Overall, even though the food and ambience were decent, it could make itself better with its service. Second Visit: We have a reservation this time. Staff, although busy, attended better to our needs. During lunch time, there's a pianist playing live music instead of the DJ at night. Overall experience is better with a reservation. Food still tastes great.
