I've been meaning to try Seoul Kimchi for ages but I'm rarely in this part of town. However it's…read moreactually a cheap cab ride from the city centre and well worth the effort. This is overall the best Korean food experience I've had in Manchester. For a start out unlike some other places you automatically get complimentary banchan - excellent kimchi and a delightful sweet soybean dish I hadn't tried before. The Korean seafood pancake was quite eggy but that texture actually worked well with the crispy spring onions and chewy squid. Fantastic spicy dip as well. The beef bibimbap was excellent (I notice another review says she preferred eatGoody's - to me they were around the same but I just take this moment to say the Manchester Uni is really blessed to have 2 excellent Korean joints, unlike anywhere else in the city!) and they leave the red chilli sauce with you so you can get the mix exactly to your taste. Prices are reasonable and while it wouldn't necessarily be an everyday lunch it's definitely somewhere you could afford fairly regularly. As other reviewers have noted this is very small place and although we got seats straight away, arriving before 12 on a Wednesday, I think arriving later you could well end up waiting. However I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place which at the moment I would say is the top choice for anyone wanting to eat Korean food in Manchester.

I had the kimchi tofu jigae and the kimchi pancake which was pretty big but tasted amazing. In the jigae they also added a poached egg into it which gave it a nice taste, and the spicy factor was perfect; not too spicy. The service is average bit efficient, the food came quite quickly and another good thing is that banchan is served complimentary here, which doesn't seem to be the case with many UK korean restaurants. They also have some Japanese dishes on the menu like sushi, gyoza, temaki and teriyaki. There is parking right outside and it's pay and display but very cheap: 50p for 30 mins and £1 for an hour. The atmosphere is very casual like a cafe, so it's great for lunch as well as dinner. Overall, authentic and tasty Korean food that's well priced and made to a great standard.

This Korean fried chicken place is pretty decent and had satisfied my cravings (KFC is almost…read morenon-existent up here). It's not as authentic as other places I've been to (mostly in Toronto) but the chicken was good! The chicken itself was crispy (even though it's covered in sauce) and had a good flavour. The spicy fries were pretty great as well. The only thing I would do next time I visit is to ask for the sauce on the side cause it was a bit too much for me. Overall, I had a good experience here and the restaurant had good vibes (a lot of university students!).

Now there is one less reason to go back to the US, I just had possibly the best fried chicken ever. I was just wandering around Liverpool after a movie and decided to go into Yard & Coop, best decision ever. I ordered the chicken drumsticks. Was worried it would not be enough (they did not give quantity) but I wasn't very hungry so figured I would stick with just that one dish. Turned out it was five large drumsticks. It also comes with one sauce, I ordered Korean BBQ. The chicken was incredible, crispy and so tasty that I could not bring myself to even use the sauce. I also upgraded to dirty fries and they were also great. Fries drenched in cheese (I believe blue and cheddar) and BBQ sauce. I am usually a fries purist but these were so good I scraped the plate with my fork. Next time I am in Liverpool, will be my first stop.

Went to the Korean restaurant Ban Di Bul the other week for some Korean BBQ. Until relatively…read morerecently, I had never had Korean BBQ - first time was about 3 years ago. Since then I have had it about 3 times and its always good. Tasty food and lots of it. I had walked passed Ban di Bul many times and always been on my list to check out but its taken until now finally to try it. Since we were generally new to Korean BBQ, I think I was the only one who had had it before, we went for one of the set menus - Set 2. Was easier and ensured we can a variety of things. The only decision to make was the type of soup you wanted - the seaweed soup or the spicy one. I went for the seaweed one. The mushroom and veg dish was really tasty - lots of garlic. Maybe a bit too much garlic? I personally not the biggest fan of kimchi but did try each dish. Not really my cup of tea. The sweet and sour spring onions were nice and the mashed potato dish was OK - was quite sweet. (Also really liked the dipping sauces! Asked waitress what they were and she said one was Korean sauce and one was "Korean BBQ" - bit generic!). On to the "main course" and the beef, belly pork and spicy chicken. My fav and the fav of the table was the beef. Full of flavour, tender, yummy! The belly pork was also good. By the time we got to the spicy chicken I was really full. It was pretty good, sort of a medium spicy-ness but after you eat several pieces of the chicken, the heat builds! Previously when I have had Korean BBQ, its up to you to cook the meat yourself - although they sometimes provide some assistance. This time, maybe because we all looked like newbies, they started cooking the meats for us and kept coming back to turn the meat etc. Towards the end, I decided to "take over" and started turning the meat. So overall, I really enjoyed the Korean BBQ at Ban di Bul. I have to be honest and had heard some mixed things about it but I would recommend going.

I usually order…read moreChampong if they serve it, but they don't serve it at Ban Di Bul, so I ordered what I considered the next closest thing, Spicy Seafood Ramen, and it was excellent. Noodles were perfectly al dente, the seafood was a little sparse, but there were mussels, shrimp, and calmari. I always take in the locale and give some leeway. However, this was excellent. I wish that they would've included banchan (side dishes) like they do in many countries.

The last time I went the bibimbap was just OK. Lacked a bit - as I said in earlier review it needed more sauce. It was a touch bland. This time had something different. Went for the BBQ set menu. For £14.90 you get a choice of Korean BBQ (Pork, beef or chicken) and a sharer dish - chicken skewers, prawn spring rolls, meat dumplings, spare ribs or kimchi pancake. I went for the beef BBQ and the prawn spring rolls. It all comes cooked the meat (so you don't cook it yourself on the Korean BBQ hot plate) along with lettuce (to wrap it in) plus a couple sauces including ssamjang sauce. The meat tasted good - nice flavour - and the lettuce was very curly - looked like a flower!! The prawn spring roll starter was good too. Was just expected normal deep fried stuff and just with small amounts of prawn in it - and it was deep fried but was tasty and definitely had real prawns in it. So overall good food and the service was good too.
