SURIGAO CITY — Seoul Ave. Samgyupsal House on Narciso Street, across from MODA Atelier and Casurra Law Office, has adjusted its daily schedule to open at 11:00 AM instead of the previously listed noon start. The one-hour change is a deliberate move to capture the early lunch crowd in the city’s central business district, where offices, law firms, and commercial establishments sit within walking distance of the restaurant. It operates daily from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, covering both the midday rush and the evening dinner window.
A Shift Toward All-You-Can-Eat Tiers
The restaurant has also formalized its pricing structure. Rather than operating solely as a self-service grill with per-order selections, Seoul Ave. now runs an Unlimited Samgyupsal and Buffet model split into tiered options. Diners can choose between standard unlimited cuts and a Premium Unlimited tier that offers a wider selection of meats. A self-service side dish buffet line accompanies the main course, allowing guests to build their own plate of banchan, vegetables, and sauces at their own pace. The tiered format gives customers a clear choice between budget-friendly and premium experiences without leaving the samgyupsal format behind.
Birthday Promo Draws Celebration Crowds
The restaurant’s most talked-about offer is its Birthday Promo. A birthday celebrant can dine for free during their entire birth month, provided they are accompanied by a required number of paying adult companions. The structure mirrors similar promotions across the Korean barbecue segment, where group dining naturally offsets the cost of one complimentary meal. For families and friend groups planning celebrations, the promo turns a birthday dinner into a shared event, with the celebrant’s free meal serving as the centerpiece of the gathering.
The Full Dining Experience
Beyond the pricing and promotions, Seoul Ave. Samgyupsal House continues to offer the hands-on grilling format that defines samgyupsal dining. Guests cook their selected meats and vegetables on tabletop grills equipped with smoke extractors, keeping the dining area clear of lingering grill smoke. The restaurant accepts reservations, provides takeout and delivery through major apps, and offers outdoor seating for those who prefer al fresco dining. Payment options include credit cards and mobile payments.
