Myeongdong IT Park Cebu – A Flavorful Korean Dining Experience

-

 

If there’s one spot our Ada Meg can’t resist, it’s Myeongdong IT Park, and today, we finally joined her for another food trip. The moment the dishes landed on our table, we instantly understood the hype — generous portions, bold flavors, and prices that make it easy to keep coming back.

This branch has built a reputation among foodies for serving hearty Korean comfort food without breaking the budget. Whether you’re here for a quick lunch, a late-night dinner, or a casual weekend hangout, Myeongdong promises a filling and flavorful experience.

What We Ordered: Korean Comfort Food Done Right

One thing we love about dining here is how you can order a variety of dishes without worrying about your wallet. Each serving is good for sharing, making it a favorite among barkadas and officemates in IT Park.

Buldak Carbonara – The Must-Try Favorite

If there’s one dish that keeps people coming back, it’s the Buldak Carbonara. This creamy, spicy pasta is both rich and addicting — a perfect balance of heat from the buldak chicken and smoothness from the sauce. Every bite had that “one more forkful” effect. Truly the star of the night.

Korean Fried Chicken

No Korean dining experience is complete without fried chicken, and Myeongdong’s version didn’t disappoint. The chicken was crisp on the outside yet juicy inside, with a flavorful glaze that paired perfectly with rice. It’s a dish that feels familiar yet uniquely Korean.

Bibimbap

For something balanced, we tried the bibimbap — a colorful mix of rice, vegetables, egg, and meat served in a hot bowl. Mixing it all together created a hearty meal packed with textures and flavors. It’s comforting, filling, and definitely worth ordering.

Pancake & Side Dishes

Myeongdong also offers savory Korean pancakes, a favorite for sharing, and a variety of side dishes that round out the experience. From kimchi to pickled radish, the sides added freshness and tang that complemented the heavier mains.

The Dining Ambience

The IT Park branch offers a casual yet lively dining vibe. With bright interiors, clean tables, and an upbeat atmosphere, it’s the kind of place where groups gather after work or students hang out after class.

Unlike other branches, this one also caters to larger groups — perfect for those barkada nights when you just want to order a table full of Korean food and share stories over plates of spicy noodles and chicken.

Service and Payment Options

One detail that stood out to us: this is the only Myeongdong branch that accepts credit cards. Most other locations are cash or GCash only, so this is a major convenience for diners who prefer to pay with plastic.

The staff were attentive and accommodating — from recommending bestsellers to quickly serving our orders. It added to the overall positive experience and made the night even more enjoyable.

Why Myeongdong IT Park Deserves a Spot on Your List

Cebu has no shortage of Korean restaurants, but Myeongdong remains a consistent choice for budget-friendly yet satisfying meals. Here’s why it deserves a visit:

  • Big servings at affordable prices – great for sharing.

  • Signature Buldak Carbonara – a dish you’ll crave again.

  • Convenient location – right inside IT Park, accessible to workers and students.

  • Flexible payment – the only branch that accepts credit cards.

  • Variety of options – from spicy comfort food to lighter choices.

It’s not just a restaurant, but a go-to spot when you want a reliable and flavorful Korean dining fix.

Maximize Your Food Trips with Credit Cards

Since this Myeongdong branch accepts credit cards, why not make the most of it? Dining out becomes even more rewarding when you use the right card — from cashback to dining discounts and exclusive promos.
