My Experience
We were happily surprised during our visit to Dads Burger & House of Unlimited, especially since we weren’t expecting much at first. Having experienced disappointing unlimited samgyupsal with similar deals before, we didn’t expect much from this restaurant. Assuming it would follow the same pattern. However, it exceeded our expectations in terms of both service and food quality. But before I explain that, our first impressions were a bit mixed. Securing a parking spot was a challenge due to the restaurant’s location right alongside a narrow road. After enduring traffic and parking at a gas station a 7-minute walk away, we realized it was a minor inconvenience. Considering the restaurant’s budget-friendly approach, we understood their limitations in choosing a more convenient location. Upon entering, we were greeted by friendly and accommodating staff. The restaurant, though a bit humid, was well-ventilated, shaded, and partly open.
Moreover, their tables were custom-made with a hole in the middle to house the stove, a thoughtful touch we appreciated. The servings were generous, and the meat quality exceeded our expectations. Despite our hesitation to order extensively due to the low Php 199 per head charge, the staff encouraged us to enjoy as much as we wanted. Which we thought was very generous of them. The set included not only the main meats but also an array of sides such as sauces, cheese, lettuce, kimchi, rice, and fishcake. Given the affordability of the set, we found these offerings more than enough. To put things in perspective, other unlimited samgyupsal restaurants typically charge between Php 500 to Php 700 per head. Therefore, Dads Burger & House of Unlimited is indeed an excellent deal. Good food, great service, and not-so-bad experience. I must say, every penny spent here is worthwhile!
