I've never heard of Manrijangsung before and I never knew where it was and so it took a bit of looking to actually find the place. It's almost on the corner of 7th avenue and 9th street so the best parking is if you can find parking on 9th street somewhere close to 7th ave. This part of downtown is pretty sketchy so I don't know how comfortable some people would be finding this restaurant to eat at.
I had just finished having a few beers at Joey's to celebrate an awesome day for me and decided why not go have some Korean. Initially our intention was to have some of their chicken wings which I've heard is great - however, they don't have it on the menu anymore which kind of sucked.
Manrijangsung is a small restaurant, there are a few tables - to me, nothing inside screams authentic but at the same time I'm not sure what I would expect a Korean restaurant to look like inside either.
We ordered this combination of food items like the bbq pork belly which was sliced fairly thick and tasted great I mean I am not a korean connoisseur of any sort. Paired up with an sliced ring of onion and a jalapeno my taste buds said fabulous. We also ordered this egg pancake thing which was good as well.
Separately we ordered two bowls of rice and also got a bottle of soju with our meal which was nice. There's nothing like eating Korean food while shooting down an ounce or two of soju right?
I really didn't mind Manrijangsung although it would help if our server who was cute understood and spoke english better in my opinion. The food wasn't bad at all but I definitely have had a lot more delicious Korean in the city.
If I am in the area I don't mind coming back here.
