When is the very best time to go?
On weekdays, outside lunch and dinner hours.
Mr. Kimchi is one of the popular samgyeopsal (Korean BBQ) locations in Tagaytay. You might have to wait if you go there during lunchtime and dinnertime. There’s a designated waiting area near the entrance. It’s a separate room with properly-distanced chairs. You can inspect out the menu and decide on what to buy while waiting.
The team went there at 5:30 PM for an early dinner on a weekday during MGCQ (February 2021), so dining in was still allowed. There were still vacant tables inside, but we opted to wait on a table outside, at the “veranda”, for the view. We waited less than 30 minutes before we were seated.
How to get There?
Mr.Kimchi is found at 6B Calamba Road, Barangay San Jose in Tagaytay. It’s beside McDonald’s near Cityland and a few meters from the Tagaytay Roundabout (Rotonda). Here’s how to get there by means of private automobile and public transportation.
Private Car. From South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), take Mamplasan exit or Santa Rosa Exit. If you want to avoid web traffic and you already have EasyTrip RFID, take Mamplasan exit which links to CALAX. Make a ideal turn to Santa Rosa-Tagaytay road when you exit CALAX. continue driving and make a ideal turn again to Tagaytay-Calamba road at the junction. continue driving past Cityland. Mr. Kimchi will be on your left, beside McDonald’s. just to be sure, utilize your Waze or Google Maps.
Public Transportation. From Manila (PITX), take a bus bound for Nasugbu. Alight at Tagaytay Rotonda. Yourlandmark is the Fora Mall. From there, you can either walk or take a tricycle to Mr. Kimchi.
To make sure that you are getting on the ideal bus, ask the PITX personnel which bus will ply the route. Inquire also if it’s still enabled to alight at Tagaytay Rotonda/Fora mall or where is the nearest designated bus stop.
We’ve checked out Tagaytay multiple times considering that GCQ and MGCQ days; however, we traveled by means of private car. We tried commuting, but that was before the pandemic. We have not yet traveled by means of public transportation to and around Tagaytay considering that the pandemic. The direction above is based on what we have gathered so far.
Is there a designated vehicle parking area?
There’s a vehicle parking area in front of the building and at the back. There are limited slots in the front, but the vehicle parking area at the back has bigger area to fit a lot more cars. Ask the guard how you can go there if the front vehicle parking lot is full already. We were able to park in front of the establishment. To safe a slot, try to get there early for lunch and dinner.
Here are some vehicle parking reminders from the management:
Parking is FREE.
The vehicle parking is special for Mr. Kimchi Korean restaurant and Tagaytay hotel SixB guests only.
Make sure to lock your vehicle.
Make sure to bring all your valuables with you. Do not leave them inside your car. The management is not responsible nor liable for any loss and damage.
Cars left a lot more than two hours and no motorists in sight at Mr. Kimchi or Tagaytay hotel SixB facilities will be towed. The owners will carry the towing fee.
What is the admission process?
Below is Mr. Kimchi’s new normal system:
Find a vehicle parking spot.
Go with the foot bath and temperature/thermal scanner upon entry. Sanitize your hands.
Head to the table near the entrance and compose down your contact information in the logbook. Sanitize your hands again.
A personnel member will attend to you. You will be asked if you want to dine inside or outside.
If there’s a vacant spot, you will be directed to your table. then you will be handed the menu. If there’s no vacant table yet, you will be directed to the waiting area.
The waiting area is found near the entrance. You might be asked to wait there while your table is getting sanitized. You can utilize this idle time to look around or inspect out the menu and decide what your orders will be. If you are next in line and you’ve already made a decision what to get, one of the personnel can take your order.
Follow the personnel who will take you to your table.
