Mannaza Korean Restaurant

This has been my favourite place to eat for years, and it’s always spot on. The fried udon noodles are unreal – perfectly cooked, full of flavour, and always satisfying. The staff are great too – really friendly and have been for years, they also know their stuff. They suggested I try the salt and pepper chicken and it was seriously good. Crispy, well-seasoned, and definitely something I’ll order again. Consistently good food, Cheap, welcoming people, and a place I’ll keep coming back to.

Was not expecting to be reviewing really good KBBQ on our trip to Newcastle, but here we are! Mannaza is tucked away in Chinatown off the beaten path, so we needed Google Maps to find it. When we went in, we were greeted by a cosy atmosphere and plenty of room for walk-ins. We opted for the Indulgent Meat BBQ set which came with mandu, the various sides and chicken and beef, which we cooked ourselves. Most people around us were also choosing the self-cook option. The menu also had a good selection of Jinro soju, which went down nicely. The meat was deliciously seasoned and the hotplate was easy to use. We especially loved the kimchi, which they make themselves because it's so popular. Service was really friendly and very quick with anything we needed. I'd definitely visit again and recommend to anyone!

Best Korean restaurant in the UK I've ever been to! Not only was it really authentic, but the service and the quality of the food was just great! They also were dog-friendly, which is quite rare for a Korean BBQ place! They have a great selection of authentic Korean dishes, such as stews and meat. You can also grill your own meat on the table, which was really fun. I recommend any of the big meat plates (if you're coming with 2+) and a lot of soju! You will definitely have a great evening!

Gorgeous good here and a great atmosphere - energetic clattering as people sizzle their own food and share different dishes My friend and I had the platter with the beef bulgogi, chicken, the fried dumplings and rice. It comes with kimchi and a greens dish too. The flavours were delectable - interesting, unique and really enjoyable. I like that you get to try a few things too. We decided to go for the precooked version (which is a tad more expensive) because I was quite tired that day. It was cooked to perfection There are hotplates in the middle of every table and metal exhaust tubes over every one. Most were cooking their own meats. I asked the lady why people would cook their own food at the end of a Busy day. She said that way the meat is always fresh as you only cook what you need each time. You can also cook it to just how you like it (though this would stress me out!). She kindly offered to show us what to do which I'll definitely be taking her up on. We had barley teas and the sharing platter for 2 and paid £20 each which included our tip. Great value for a fun and different night out. Highly recommend

First time to visit here. I’m so impressed with the atmosphere and friendly staff. The staff is very kind and willingness to give me a good services. Next, The food is very good! I recommend the lunch menu that available on lunch time. I ordered chicken bibimbap and bbq lunch set. Also ordered kimchi soup separate from lunch menu. Taste of Korean food here is amazing and authentic. I like to enjoy food with atmosphere and restaurant song from K-pop. Totally, I will come back again!
