Savor Paldo's perfect mix of Korean tradition and culinary creativity at SM Podium

 

Manila just got a taste of royalty with the arrival of Paldo, another first-to-market brands in the Philippines.   The first Korean fine dining restaurant is now open at SM Podium. 


Owned and brought to life by Ryan Bang, the restaurant delivers the finest Korean cuisine by bringing out the country's rich flavors and textures.



Paldo, which means “eight provinces,” takes its patrons on a South Korean culinary journey  that represent the country’s rich and diverse food culture. From bold southern flavors to delicate northern specialties, the restaurant brings the heart of Korea to Manila.



At Paldo, the goal is simple: to show Filipinos how kings and queens of Korea once dined.
Paldo makes fine dining  casual and affordable, while experiencing the same elegance and authenticity of royal Korean meals.



One of Paldo's must-tries is Surasang, also known as the “King’s Meal”—a traditional full-course spread once served to royals and aristocrats during the Joseon dynasty. 


It features an impressive variety of mains and sides, including Doenjang Jjigae (soybean stew), Dakgalbi (spicy stir-fried chicken), Braised Back Ribs, Royal Modeum Jeon (Korean-style savory
pancakes), and Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles).



For something more curated, try Chef Sam Kim’s Signature Set—a thoughtfully selected lineup
of traditional Korean dishes elevated with modern flair. The set includes Briquettes Bulgogi,
marinated pork grilled over charcoal, and Doenjang Jjigae, a rich soybean stew with snails, tofu, mushrooms, and vegetables.

Both sets are served with a variety of carefully prepared side dishes, each chosen to round out
the meal and bring out the essence of Korean flavors.


Paldo also offers a range of drinks that complement the bold flavors of each meal, making every bite even more satisfying.


Moreover,  Paldo’s warm and elegant interior, with wood accents and earth
tones that transport diners straight to the heart of a traditional Korean setting—perfect for both
casual lunches and special dinners. It’s a great fit for SM Podium, offering a unique and
elevated dining experience in one of the city’s top lifestyle destinations.

Whether you’re gathering for a special meal or simply treating yourself, Paldo brings the rich
