    I love Korean food and have a mission to go to every Korean restaurant in the UK (or at least most…read moreif them!). Angel is pretty authentic and serves real Korean food. They have a massive menu, serving both Chinese and Korean cuisines. The bibimbap here is excellent, you can choose your protein between beef, chicken, tofu or seafood and it comes lovely steaming hot in the earthen bowl along with the essential bibimbap sauce which is also on the tables if you need more. The portions are on the huge side so you could easily share a dish. They have a few kimchi dishes including a kimchi set, so kimchi lovers will surely enjoy. The restaurant is located up a stairs beside a Chinese buffet place, and is open pretty late until 10pm. It's massive inside with lots of round tables and appears to be very popular with Asian customers too from when I visited. Overall, if you're looking for some good authentic Korean or Chinese, I really recommend Angel. The staff were lovely and very helpful, they also were nice to explain things on the menu.

    Tremendously disppointing experience ! We arrived at the restaurant at 7:45pm, the restaurant…read morerefused to serve us. We are regular customers at the restaurant, we have never been treated this badly before. The reason behind us not being served the night was not clarified, they gave us a simple answer ' boss said we don't take orders'. I am extremely upset at such poor treatment, I think it is completely unacceptable. The closing time of the restaurant is at 10pm and given that we reached at a normal dinner time at 7:45pm , the restaurant is not full and several ( around 7 ) empty tables were available, it is completely ridiculous for the restaurant not being able to serve us. There is nothing more disappointing than turning up to a restaurant to the appreciate and enjoy their food, but ending up being refused at the door. I truly hope the Angel Restaurant improves on their service and acknowledge that this is not the applicable way to treat customers.

    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.

    Kimchi is a nice casual korean cafe style restaurant and the food here is limited but good quality…read moreand all priced under £10. 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.

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.

    The staff were very friendly and gave us lots of helpful recommendations. They even kindly advised…read moreus not to over-order, which we really appreciated. The hotpot portion was generous, and the bibimbap tasted incredibly authentic and satisfying. The environment wasn't fancy, but it felt warm and home-like, adding to the overall comfort of the experience. We'll definitely recommend this place to friends and family!

    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 have eaten Korean food all over the world, and this is very close to authentic. 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.

    Well, that was....odd…read more I ordered a kimchi stew with tofu over noodles as a lunch box on a weekday. It came out piping hot, much appreciated on a cold winter day. That was the best I could say for it however. The noodles were your basic instant ramen, which is fine. The tofu has red chili powder on it and yet wasn't spicy and barely had any flavor. The kimchi tasted like stewed cabbage. Don't get me wrong, I love cabbage. It just wasn't what I had expected. It was missing all of the tangy spicy depth of flavor I usually associate with kimchi. My dining partner had beef bulgolgi bowl which was much better, with interesting flavors and different colors. The restaurant is odd, with the entrance off of a hard-to-find side alley. It was very dimly lit which made it hard to see what you were eating. The staff were friendly and the service fast.

So I was up Oxford Road yesterday and it was the perfect excuse to get my Korean on, especially at such a low low price - getting an assorted beef box with rice and veges, chicken dumplings and a grape aloe king (awesome - get one, it will change your life) for £6.50 - wow! Very low key, very low hassle and a really chilled place to eat fresh made food. Cash only so make sure you carry some notes on you.
