Reviews
Found this lil gem about 7 months ago and we go almost every month if we can help it (usually for lunch as their dinner period is always very busy) Food is just super I’m always happy with the quality and flavour of the food.
I love that the servers aren’t hovering over you they leave you to enjoy why you came for (specifically the Mandoo Guk & chicken wings 👌🏻)
You will find many people will complain about the servers but if you pay attention they do both front of house and back so if you go in with this info it may help with your decision to dine so people don’t cry about it later.
Can’t wait to come back
The service was mediocre; during lunchtime, we had to signal the waiter for assistance. The server accidentally ordered the wrong main course but rectified it upon our request. No one came to inquire about the food during the meal, possibly due to different cultural norms. The food itself was delicious, resembling some of the dishes I've had in Seoul, but the service fell short.
-Seafood in the soup is so stale, tastes like boil water with paprika and zombie seafood, also too fishy
-The beef rib is not newly cooked as ordered, with boiling sauce but still cold inside the meat, tastes weird and worrying; some pieces are just as hard as stone, like a piece of wood burning for a week
-Can’t find any kimchi in the kimchi pancake, maybe one or two leaf for the whole pancake?
-Better order veg bibimbap cause the meat tastes really stale and meaty, we ordered chicken but I believe the beef is similarly terrible, just enjoy the sauce which never goes wrong
-The service and atmosphere is good anyway, but the cooking is so perfunctory, done like the way they cooked
Absolute gem of a place. Tucked away in Manchester, but worth a visit! The restaurant was slightly dated but that added to the charm! The staff were all attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely amazing! We will definitely be going again.
We had been wanting to come to Koreana for a while, after walking past and hearing about it, but it was a disappointment. The restaurant itself is a bit tired, lots of dust on the decor and splashes of grease on the wall. They had left the door wide open, we supposed it was for the BBQ smoke but it was quite chilly outside, which ended up creating a huge drought. We ordered quite swiftly: two casseroles and two beef bibimbap with 4 sets of mandu.
Despite the two bibimbap being the same, one came after about 10 min but the other took 45 min, probably forgotten. When we flagged this to the waiter, he didn't apologise but the dish did come a few minutes after that. We had all already finished all our food when the bibimbap came so the person was the only one left eating and was disappointed about this.
The food was good, nothing to write home about though. The drinks were alright too, we had soju and mak cocktails which were OK and reasonably priced. However we probably won't be back.
Service, atmosphere, and food are all mediocre to bad.
Service:
I ordered a takeaway and picked it up myself. I was treated like trash. I was notified that my order was ready for pickup, but when I arrived, it took 5 minutes for someone to acknowledge me at the entrance. When they finally came back, the lady staff said my order wasn't ready and asked me to wait indefinitely. When she handed me the order, she literally just put it in my hands and walked away. Very rude! Orders take ages and nobody is attending to orders.
Food:
I ordered soft tofu casserole and it was too oily. The egg drops were tough and overcooked. I was expecting it to be savory, but it was bland. Very disappointed.
Atmosphere:
The restaurant smells really bad. It's very smokey and the smell clings to my clothes even though I only stayed for a few minutes to pick up my order.
Overall, I am very displeased with this restaurant. I would not recommend it. If you want to stay in business, you need to improve your service. You are not a sought-after Korean restaurant.
An awful experience, we booked a table the day before, after we've arrived there we were told that they forgot to keep the reservation, so we waited another half an hour. When we got the seat, we kept waiting for our order, and after one hour we were told they forgot to do the dishes. We basically spent three hours in the restaurant just waiting.
Poor customer service. Prioritise delivery orders. I was there for 2.5 hours in total. Starter came wrong and I was told it was what I ordered and it was taken back and forth from my table to kitchen three times as she tried to argue that it was what I ordered but she never repeated my order back to me. Correct thing came (short ribs) and it was tough and dry and chewy.
Everything accompanied by some budget romaine lettuce that was wilted.
Main beef bulgogi was just sweet and over cooked. Table across from us complained that theirs was burnt before ours came.
Nobody asked if the food was ok and we had to do the ungodly hand wave to get a waiters attention to get some water or clear the plates.
No rice or accompaniment with set banquet.
Went to pay the bill and service charge was added for party of two (despite menu saying it is added on for 8 or more). Additional 80p was undisclosed and we had to ask what it was for.
Small portions, poor service, wobbly table, bad quality of food.
Used to be an absolute gem but has gone absolutely down hill.
