You can taste (the food) here in Paldo the eight different kinds of provinces sa Korea. Kahit di kayo pumunta sa Korea, pwede kayo mag-try ng Korean province tradition here in Paldo lalo na sa Quezon City,” the 32-year-old television personality shared.</p><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/Ryan-Bang-opens-casual-fine-dining-Korean-restaurant-1.jpg" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Ryan Bang opens casual fine dining Korean restaurant"/></div><p>Ryan also revealed during the opening of his restaurant, that their concept of having a casual traditional fine dining Korean restaurant was actually their original idea.</p><p>“Paldo talaga, it’s our own concept in the Philippines. Wala namang Paldo sa Korea. It’s our original brand starting here sa Philippines,” he said.</p><p>“Usually, nalulungkot ako kasi karamihan lalo na mga kababayan nating Pilipino, kapag sinabi nilang Korean food, ang alam nila unlimited samgyupsal. Yun yung karamihang alam nila na Korean food tungkol sa Korea eh. Dito sa Paldo talagang you can experience Korea kahit hindi kayo pumunta sa Korea pwede talaga kayong ditong mag-try ng Korean traditional food,” he added.</p><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/Ryan-Bang-opens-casual-fine-dining-Korean-restaurant-2.jpg" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Ryan Bang opens casual fine dining Korean restaurant"/></div><p>The television host also noted that his new restaurant aims to give budget-friendly, authentic, and healthy Korean food to their customers.</p><p>“Gusto ko talaga ma-experience ng mga kababayan nating mga Pilipino (ito). Atsaka hindi po siya, akala nila kapag fine dining sobrang mahal. Open po kami sa lunch, 11 a.m., 700 pesos. Talagang is affordable. Tapos sa traditional na food set usually kapag fine dining mag nasa apat na libo, limang libo. Kami ang ginawa namin less than 2 thousand pesos. Gusto ko talaga ma-experience ng mga Pilipino ang Korean traditional food here in Paldo,” Ryan stated.</p><p>He continued, “Mayroon din kami sa lunch na madali lang orderin na 500 pesos. Yung lunch talaga sobrang sarap kasi mismo yung chef nandito araw-araw. Siya po yung nagluluto para sa ating mga kababayan. Gusto ko talaga ma-experience ng mga Pilipino yung authentic Korean traditional food kaya po ako nagtayo nito.”</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C267w5jh6hQ/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A3529376.800000012%2C%22ls%22%3A3528851.399999976%2C%22le%22%3A3529322.5999999642%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Ryan shared their menu where people can order a food set served for Korean royalty back in the day, an ala carte for lunch, as well as a special set made by the restaurant chef who specializes in Korean and Japanese food and has been in the industry for 25 years in South Korea.</p><p>“Ang favorite ko po ay healthy food. Mahilig ako kumain eh, yun yung aking stress reliever. Gusto ko talaga kumakain ng authentic. Kapag kasi sinusubukan ko yung ibang restaurant masarap pero hindi talaga yun yung authentic na lasa,” he added, “Kaya araw-araw ako kumakain dito kasi mahilig ako sa healthy na masarap. Mayroon din dito na mga samgyup pero lahat ng ingredients, pagkain authentic (Korean food) talaga.</p><p>“Mayroon kasing Surasang set. Yun po yung set menu na laging kinakain noong king and queen.
