If you’re in Metro Manila and craving bold Korean flavors—with a chance to save via Eatigo—Eataewon Korean Restaurant is a standout. Their SM Megamall branch is especially popular for combining trendy Korean concepts, creative menu names (often referencing K-dramas), and Eatigo “Recommended Menu” discounts up to 50% off. This review breaks down how and when to score the big discounts, what to order, what to expect in ambience, where they are, and more.

Eatigo Promotions — Up to 50% Off

One of Eataewon’s major draws is its active participation in Eatigo. The SM Megamall branch shows a “Recommended Menu —50%” tag on many dinner slots. 

Some examples of discounted items (via Eatigo) include:

  • 6 pcs. K-Chicken Wings – PHP 199.50 (discounted) vs PHP 399.00 original 
  • Bulgoblin – PHP 174.50 vs original PHP 349.00 
  • Bulgogi Over Flowers – PHP 149.50 vs original PHP 299.00 
  • Legend of the Kimchi – Sundubu Jjigae – PHP 199.50 vs original PHP 399.00 

Rules to watch out for:

  • The discount applies only to à la carte items listed under Recommended Menu. Beverages, set promos, or other special items are excluded. 
  • You must present Eatigo reservation code and dine during the reserved slot. 
  • Reservations are held for 15 minutes; arriving late may void the discount. 
  • Cannot combine Eatigo discount with in-house promotions or other deals.

So while the potential for 50% off is real, it’s confined to certain menu items and times.

When & How to Get the Biggest Discounts

To maximize your savings at Eataewon:

  • Target evening dinner hours — many slots from 6:00 PM onward still show full 50% off labels. 
  • Weekday dinners tend to have more availability for deep discount slots than weekends.
  • Early dinner (around 6:00–7:00 PM) is a sweet spot before full crowd sets in.
  • Monitor the Eatigo app ahead of time — slots with “-50%” labels tend to disappear quickly.
  • Arrive on time — 15 min grace period is enforced for Eatigo reservations.
  • Order from the “Recommended Menu” portion — stray into non-eligible dishes and you may lose the discount for that meal.

If you walk in without a reservation, you may not qualify for the Eatigo discount at all, especially during peak hours.

Menu Highlights & Price Update (2026)

Eataewon’s menu leans heavily on signature Korean dishes, creative fusion names, and trendy items tied to K-drama culture. Some highlights and price observations:

  • Bulgogi Over Flowers — one of the star items. Original price ~ PHP 299.00, Eatigo price ~ PHP 149.50 
  • K-Chicken Wings (6 pcs.) — original PHP 399, after discount ~ PHP 199.50 
  • Legend of the Kimchi – Sundubu Jjigae (soft tofu stew with kimchi) — original price ~ PHP 399, Eatigo price ~ PHP 199.50 
  • Bulgoblin — creative bulgogi dish priced at PHP 174.50 (discount) vs PHP 349.00 normal

Other menu items (based on delivery menu) include “You Are My Bulgogi”, Kimbap stuffed with marinated beef, Chickendom combos, Cheese Over Kimbap and more. 

The menu posted on Booky (Pavilion / location listing) also shows items like Crash Course in Rabokki priced ~ PHP 349.00. 

From the Instagram announcements, Eataewon also sometimes updates menu portion sizes or adjusts prices. 

Thus, when not discounted, many signature dishes fall in the PHP 300–400 range; with Eatigo, those same dishes may cost PHP 150–200, making the savings significant.

Ambience & Dining Experience

Eataewon embraces the energy of K-drama cafés mixed with modern Korean restaurant vibes. At the SM Megamall branch:

  • The décor is youthful and stylish, with nods to Korean aesthetics (neon signs, thematic touches).
  • The setting is casual and comfortable, well suited to groups of friends or families.
  • Service is often praised in reviews: diners mention friendly staff, prompt service, and accommodating attitudes. 
  • The restaurant handles mid-mall foot traffic so expect some bustle, especially in peak evening hours.
  • Some patrons note that while discounted slots offer great value, during those high traffic times, staff may take longer with orders.

Overall, the mood is vibrant rather than quiet fine dining, but it suits its food type: social Korean meals with fun vibe.
