Pearl meat shop is one the more popular Korean restaurant in Cebu now. Its popularity is mainly because of the cheaper price of their meals as compared to other Korean restaurants in the city and through word of mouth. And you would hear people talking about it, even from those who never tried Korean dish at all.
However, the place it not that clean or as cozy as, say Soora. The place is packed, mostly by yuppies and students trying out a less expensive Korean dining. Of course there are also Koreans, both tourists and residents of the city and other local patrons who loves eating samgyeopsal, me included ;)
While you can ask the waitresses to cook the meat for you in some other restaurants, here you have to cook it yourself (we never tried to ask if they are willing to cook it for you). But I prefer that we cook it ourselves instead of asking the restaurant staff. That way you really get to experience the Korean way of eating samgyeopsal and it is more fun!
So, if you are craving for samgyeopsal on a tight budget who is not looking for a cozy place to dine and hang out, then try out Pearl Meatshop along A.S. Fortuna street. They do not have as many side dishes as what others are offering, but that's part of what you pay for anyway. Head out to this place and prepare to enjoy a different kind of dining experience, I always do. :)
