Reviews For Manzoku Japanese and Korean Restaurant

This is the best restaurant I've been to. I came here 8 months ago and then again yesterday. The decor is cute, with hand drawn illustrations of the food and some fun prints related to the food and the countries represented by the cuisine. The staff are attentive and friendly. The fried chicken is amazing! So crispy and flavourful. The katsu chicken portion is huge! And really tasty. I love the bibimbap, the pork is my favourite so far. Definitely try the honey yuzu soda! Portions are massive. They also have a photobooth in the venue too.

The starters and mains were perfectly cooked. We have tried several Korean restaurants and I have to say the Korean food here was definitely 10/10. Service was excellent.

Visited last weekend and everyone absolutely loved the food! Our waitress was very sweet and really took care of us. Everything arrived freshly made and almost too hot too eat! I would definitely recommend the fried chicken to share and the bibimbap.

Good food, fair prices, nice styled restaurant. Staff is very kind and welcoming. Nice variety of kimchis different from the classic napa cabbage.

Absolutely great evening! The dishes were all superb, but the homemade kimchi selection was the winner for me. The staff were really friendly too, and the general atmosphere was really laid back. We will definitely be coming back as there are so many more dishes on the menu that we want to try.

We have been here twice now, and the food is to die for!! Service is cool and chilled, and it has been fairly quiet on both visits so far but worked for me. Everything is cooked to order and the flavours and presentation are spot on. I loved the KFC raspberry !! Plum wine was also a vibe, if you like authentic food well done with chill service hit this place up !

Really lovely little place with some personality. We went for a big lunch and I got the chicken balls and rainbow sushi My mum got the stir fry which she said was excellent. Service was great but at the end we were kinda left and had to go up to the till to pay. They boxed up my leftovers which was very kind of them. Thanks for a lovely meal

Back at Manzoku for round two, and it did not disappoint! Ordered the Grilled Spicy Chicken —not quite spicy, but super tasty with a great portion size! Paired it with Egg Fried Rice and also got Pork Bibimbap and Gimbap on the side. The Seaweed Salad wasn’t really my vibe, but everything else was spot-on perfection. Manzoku definitely knows how to keep me coming back for more!
