We are so happy we got to try Lee Ga Chon while in Cebu last time. The food was incredible! Our favorite was the Raymen. It's the perfect amount of spice. We are vegetarian and really enjoyed the kimchi too. The owners are very welcoming and kind. They even offered us fries while we were waiting. I would recommend to anyone. I'd give it 6⭐ if i could :)

The food is delicious especially their best seller rose samgyeopsal jiggae, the waitress recommended. It comes with rice and kimchi. The atmosphere inside was a bit weird due to dark paint walls but the front counter had a homey feeling. The food was worth it.

The best place to eat if you want to get full. Every time I eat here it feels like I'm having a mukbang cuz of how big the portion of their food is (⁠⁠ω⁠⁠ ⁠)⁠ ⁠~⁠...

It was a rainy day in Cebu and I entered the restaurant to avoid getting all wet. I was also looking for a comforting meal. The waitress served me some Korean ramen in a generous bowl only 6min after my order with an extra spicy touch along with rice, Kimchi and spinach of the season. I was delighted. All plates and the bowl were shinning like it was almost kicked 15min after. The chef saluted me.
