Our local Sister In-Law took my family and I to 1970 Grill after flying in from Sydney, arriving at the restaurant almost midnight 16th January 2024, which by our body clock was 3am for us ;-) We appreciate that by that time 1970 Grill was still open and the service was quick and efficient, even though it was midnight. The grill was effective in cooking our Korean BBQ and food was delicious. My 2 kids enjoyed the hot pot boiling with their newly acquainted cousins as well as the grilled Korean flavoured BBQ meat. We would definitely love to eat at 1970 Grill again. Thank you Diane again for your love and thoughtful in bringing us there.

1970 Grill and Shabu shabu offers Korean cuisine where you can cook your own soup and meat. They offer gimbap, samgyupsal, kimchi, marbled potatoes, and much more. The price was reasonable and the food tasted delicious. The soup has three options like beef, pork, and seafood. I would like to eat here again.

The ambience is old (woody). It can approximately accomodate 30 pax. Its price is a less cheaper than other korean restau. Servings are big enough to feed 4 pax. The taste is really savory and has distinct flavor from the others. Still recommended...

Shabu shabu and Korean Grill restaurant in one. You order by set or ala carte. Meat not unlimited, only the side dishes. Budget around 400-500php per head. Good lighting and good service. Only downside is that their exhaust systems don’t seem to work. Expect to smell like food/smoke after leaving.
