Annyeong Korean Restaurant & Bar in Manchester

Had a lovely meal here, compliments of my son. It's a style of eating I can't say I have had before, but sat back and enjoyed watching the meat being cooked and all the flavours of the varying spiced where really great! Highly recommended.

Their food was unhygienic, and after eating it, I had diarrhea and an E. coli infection. I experienced a low fever and severe vomiting and diarrhea for three days.

Great food and friendly service on a quietish Monday night for my daughter's birthday. Love the range of dishes to choose from - small plates and bigger meals.

Tried the bbq there, turned out their small dishes were better than the bbq. Somehow how the smallest power was still too strong, the bbq meat got burnt too quick, and the pan got black pretty fast before we finished the bbq set. Probably will try the dishes only next time. Their dishes were really tasty.

the bbq set menu is gorgeous!!!! Can serve 3 person Can make rosted meat rice with vegetables by myslef!

Waited 20 min to be served, the waitress had no clue on the menu or English, zero service, wouldn’t recommend

Food is okay but very oily and the portion is quite small tbh! No service got

Had a wonderful impromptu dinner here! The food was so good and the staff were really attentive! Not sure why the negative reviews, we loved it here and would definitely recco.

I visited here at 6pm on a Thursday to find the restaurant not too busy. I was greeted promptly by Ying, who showed me to a comfortable table, and was waited on by Ying and Nilukshan, who were both fantastic. I ate traditional kimchi, with crispy seaweed, and stir fried udon with seafood (didn't get a photo of the udon - gone too quick), all were delicious, and cooked perfectly. I drank the original chamisul soju, also great. Highly recommend, I'll definitely be back.

Top notch Korean restaurant. One of the few Korean restaurants in the UK that actually has naengmyeon - one of Korea’s most popular dishes. Service was very efficient. Food only took about 5 minutes to come out and the flavours were on point and reasonably priced too. Don’t believe any bad reviews of this place. I am a foodie who knows how to cook and how good flavours should be. And this place has my approval and respect. Kamsahamnida 🙏🏼

Food not bad, nice Korean beer. Bit pricey. TV was going the whole time playing awful pop - and not even awful Korean pop, just awful pop... Maroon 5 kind of ruins the vibe. Service unremarkable.

I arrived an hour before shutting, the staff were very nice and let us finish our meal. Food is good too

Service was good and quality food. The staff are attentive, and the choice of food is good.

I don't know what all the negative reviews are about as this place is great. We came here for our 5th year anniversary. When booking online, we requested a table in a quiet place but they gave us the whole corner next to the door which I was amazed about. The food is delicious. We ordered the Royal BBQ Banquet set with loads of variety, especially the ban chan. The decor and ambience were really nice. The staff and manager were amazing. Big shout out to Anu and Nilukshan who took care of us. FYI, not suitable for disabled as there are steps immediately on entrance and toilets are located downstairs with no lift.

The flavors were outstanding, with each dish showcasing the rich and diverse palette of Korean cuisine. From the marinated meats to the fresh vegetables and traditional side dishes, every bite was a delight. We particularly loved the bulgogi and the selection of banchan, which offered a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. The staff greeted us with warm smiles and promptly showed us to our table. They were incredibly attentive throughout our meal, ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive.

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting what I now consider to be the best Korean restaurant in Manchester. Accompanied by a group of friends, we were all eager to try something new and authentic, and this place did not disappoint.

Terrible! First of all, the cold noodle was definitely spoiled otherwise it is disgusting. I can only take a bite and I want to vomit. The single piece of rock hard beef on top is ridiculous too. INEDIBLE! GROSS! Secondly, raw beef does not taste like beef. Too much sugar and felt like eating carrots since it was not thawed. DO NOT ORDER! Thirdly, KIM CHI soup with rice was not spicy at all. Taste like tomato soup with pork. The portion is handful and definitely overpriced. But still edible. fourthly, ZA ZHANG noodle is normal but no korean style at all. Lastly, the NA MOOL set which is the seasoned spinach, radish and sprounts tastes like it has been stored for a long time. Do not recommend to order. I had been to this restaurant before and ordered BBQ set which is pretty good. But the experience this time is terrible. The waiters seem to be not bothered. Take ages to ask them for order or pay the bill. Probably won't go again.

Came here for the Korean BBQ at dinner time. The options were plenty and they allowed us to swap items in the BBQ platter due to dietary restrictions. Staff were nice and friendly. Would recommend this place for a nice night out or a group dinner.

1 star is too high to be honest just ordered some Bul gar bi and ended up paying over 12 pounds for about six pathetic squares of bulgogi. Don't waste your time here it's a complete joke

Gran y tranquilo servicio, tenía mucho respeto por parte del personal y eran educados y respetuosos x. La ubicación estaba cerca del gimnasio, así que era útil para abastecerse de carbohidratos después de mi entrenamiento x

My friend and I have been talking about trying Korean bbq for a long time and have nothing but positive reviews on our experience at Annyeong Korean Restaurant & Bar in Manchester. As first timers, the space and atmosphere was nice, the service was fantastic and recommendations were on point. Aside from the experience of cooking the meats, the flavours were also just amazing. Really enjoyed everything, including the soju (can't forget that). I will definitely be going back and next time try their karaoke rooms. So to anyone wanting that Korean bbq experience, especially if it's your first time, I highly recommend Annyeong Korean Restaurant & Bar (in Manchester)...Enjoy!!

It's been a great experience to have!!!!

I had a great time here as the food was relishing and the staff was very welcoming. Overall I had a great time here.

Food is good, but it's too expensive

Quite a large Korean restaurant, plenty of spaces for bigger groups and food came out piping hot. Very filling and reasonably priced rice and soupy dishes.I loved my bibimbap and enjoyed the beef rib broth soup. The short rib was tender. The group a few tables down from us had Korean BBQ which filled the whole place with a smoky fragrance, which was quite overpowering, but I suppose it could be seen as part of the experience!

My favourite go to place for Korean food 🥺

Such a nice place with great environment.... and the dishes here are quite delicious.

Top notch food quality, really enjoyed it!

The place is very dark and has stairs. No one is serving us when we arrive. I do not recommend this restaurant. It's not an actual Korean restaurant.

Very good range of food, I recommend the barbecue platters and the bibimbaps, their marinated meats are so tasty!

Last week,with my friend first time trying the Korean bbq in Manchester,Service is a nightmare,we order drinks and waiting around 10min,we remind the waiter again but the waiter attitude is bad on the face and charge us 10% service charge.

Very good food really taste soooo good I visit several times there , service perfect they have good knowledge of Korean foods

Flavor is naturally a huge part of cuisine and Korean food is famous for its balanced and diverse flavors. Korean cuisine favors the mixing of sweet, salty, spicy, and savory flavors rather than isolating them into separate dishes.

Came here to try the Korean BBQ, food is tasty and staffs are very helpful.

Delicious food I love to try Korean food one of best place to have a bbq in Manchester. Worth for the price and staff super helpful full on helping to cook the bbq they have plenty of new dishes on menu.went with my mom last time we enjoyed lot ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely yummy food great place highly recommended

I've been here a couple of times, and it's always consistent. They usually ask if you want bbq straight away but usually I have to ask to review the menu first.We ordered a shared starter which was good choice in terms of price and variety ranging from crispy squid , tempura prawn, potato cake and dumplings. For main, I went for the beef bibimbap. This was really tasty and a good portion. They have a good variety of food and drink and good atmosphere also a handy location in town.

We went to this restaurant by chance as we walked past and had never had Korean BBQ before. Wow the food was so delicious, especially the pancakes and the beef! Will definitely be in again. Gorgeous food!

Went there but didn't eat. Bad smell, no hygiene (especially downstairs was horrible condition)

We enjoyed the food and service there. The staff were very friendly. I would recommend the BBQ platter and kimchi pancake.

It was a very good experience, staff were very friendly. However, we felt that the meat should’ve been marinated before it was served for us to grill as the meat was a bit bland. Overall great place, the food came quickly.

Really bad service, very over priced and the staff are unhelpful, food portion was small and quality awful

Expensive for food that pretty average. The starters fried calamari was pretty dry and the korean friend chicken was normal. Bill came up to £60 which is a stretch for the quantity.

Ordered a traditional cold noodle with sliced beef and when we received the noodle it had one slice of beef. Ridiculous! We thought we’d confirm if that’s how it should be so we asked a member of staff. “Is this the cold noodle with beef?” And the staff told us “yes” and before we even asked about the amount of sliced beef he said there’s only one slice of beef with the noodle. He knew what we’re trying to ask before we actually asked him. I feel like a lot of people ask that question… Not worth it!

Last week went there with my friends to try Korean BBQ for the first time literally we don't have idea about food and BBQ stuffs.staff so helpful to choose foods and help to cook . different experiences food are so good

I went there with my friends for dinner, the food is authentic and tasty. Also, the waiters are very nice and helpful. Overall it is a great experience!

Food is so good we vist last week and enjoy so much atmosphere is so good our kimchi soup , kimchi fried rice taste delicious and service is so good im highly recommended this place

It's was a first time I'm visiting for a Korean Restaurant I love the place and atmosphere is so nice food is so good and there service great.recommended who like to get different experiences and u can cook on the table as well

Not recommended. The food is lovely but the service is appalling. Not sure we'd go back again which is a shame really because the food we did eat was actually quite nice!

Food portion were very small, BBQ meat were awful and the restaurant is very smoky from the grills smoke. Not recommend

The two of us ordered a 43.9-pound set meal. The set meal consisted of some extremely unpalatable kimchi. Those who like chewy kimchi can go for it. There was also a platter made of two small bowls of soup and four small plates of meat. Because the portion of the dish was very small, we thought it was not the size of the 87.8-pound set meal, so we called the waiter and said that even though there were two of us, the set meal still counted as 43.9. In addition, we also ordered Asahi beer which was very sour and must have gone bad. Later, before checking out, it was said that the set meal was 43.9 and when we checked out, it was 87.8 (the price for two people). The waiter just acted stupid. In the end, the two of us spent 178 pounds. Don't come here.

Overexpensive garbage, we got a BBQ platter and all I left with was a third full stomach and 67£ lighter. 0 stars never again.

Good food, attentive service, good space. The lighting at the dining table is limited because it hasn't been replaced yet.

The atmosphere was very smoky and uncomfortable because there was barely any ventilation. The staff barely served us. We had to get up and ask for things or wait until they came near us which was very rare. At some point I went to the toilet and it was very dirty and there was no soap or way to dry your hands. The food on the other hand was very nice and delicious. However, the previous points ruined the entire experience. I recommend the staff is more attentive to the customers and they look around the entire room to see if anyone needs water or something. Also install better ventilation because the entire room was cloudy from all the barbecue smoke and was probably not very healthy. It was very here to breathe.

Friendly Staff BUT…. Very Disappointed because: The place smelt rancid. Everywhere was dusty. Cob webs on ceiling lights. Sticky/oily chairs. Dim lights. Menu books were very greasy. Oil from the exhaust pipe atop our bbq table was dripping before we even start to have a bbq. Staff not well trained to take orders. Cleaning items like Dettol was kept beside serving/kitchen utensils like ladles, serving spoons etc. Short staffed as there were only x2 staff. The food hygiene rating of 5 displayed at the door didn’t reflect the actual state of the restaurant. Food was not as expected, like the fried calamari was less than average as there was more batter with little to minute squid ring in it. Pan cakes tasted stale and appeared not freshly made. Reasonable customer skills but the place Needs a lot of immediate improvement, particularly food safety & hygiene. Cooking, presentation and taste of foods must also be polished-up. For the following reasons given, I cannot recommend this place, therefore, the place truly deserves a generous 1 star rating.

AVOID AT ALL COST. GOT A SEVERE FOOD POISONING THERE!! TWICE!! My partner and I went for dinner there on Friday evening. We ordered three dishes and had to return 2 of them because they brought us the wrong ones. After the food, we've both had food poisoning on Friday night and my partner was severely ill for two days. But i was fine by Saturday, I wasn't sure whether we got the food poisoning from there. However, as we had some chicken wings leftovers from the restaurant, I ate them on Sunday for lunch. This was my first meal that day and the wings were in the fridge all the time. 2 hours after eating the wings (haven't eaten anything else), I started vomiting and having a diarrhea at the same time. This continued for the next 24 hours and I ONLY FULLY RECOVERED ON WEDNESDAY (72 HOURS AFTER EATING).

Food was fabulous really enjoyed the Royal Banquet service was exceptional will definitely go again and recommend to others

The food was really nice! Service was a little slow!

Food is fine. Staff is friendly and helpful. Ventilation is something they need to work on.

Very tasty food, generous portions, looked & tasted great

Annyeong is a great place for more formal gathering but also enjoying the comforts of privacy with a varied choice of seating. The menus are in English, Korean and Chinese with an addition of photographs of the more popular choices. It's easy to order with the staff and the food is freshly prepared. We have ordered the fried chicken balls in sesame sauce, kimbab, a set of kimchi: cabbage, radish and cucumber, as well as seafood ramen and a beef steamed bun. The food was amazing, though the chicken had a little too much batter around but otherwise everything was delicious. We weren't able to finish everything but you can ask for a box to take the leftovers with you. The amount of food for the value is fair, for all the meal we paid £30 per person, including the drinks.

Order Kichi jigae and my boyfriend got bugolgi jigae. I was expecting a normal size bowl, the rice size i expected, also we had fried spicy chicken to share. Honestly the sizes for the price are disgusting! £11.50 for the sampler size of soup?! Absolutely ridiculous. The restaurant was cold, servers never around, and also the girls toilet was out of service so it was awkward using male toilets and not clean. Never going again, and would not recommend

Really disappointed with this restaurant. The restaurant was eyewatering as it was full of smoke. I had requested if I could have a prawn bipimbap which as they serve prawns and they are placed on the top I didn't think that would be an issue. The server refused even though I shared I was happy to pay more? As I assume they cook it on site it made me concerned for how they are cooking it? Are they pre made? The food didn't taste like authentic Korean. I won't be going back.

Best Korean BBQ that I've ever had in the UK. The kimchi is super nice, the sauces are delicious, varied meat selections and delicious Korean rice cake. I will come back for sure.

We dropped in here just by chance! If I’d have looked at the Google review average, maybe not? However, the food, menu and service is absolutely first class! Having been to many Korean restaurants in the Manchester area, I would highly recommend it! 👍👍

Really nice place. The food was really good

The experience in the restaurant is amazing! People there are so nice and the vegetables in bibimbap are so fresh and delicious! Definitely will try second time!

I went yesterday with my group of friends had an exceptional dining experience at this restaurant, and I can't say enough about both the delicious food and the outstanding service provided by the staff. From the moment I walked in, I felt warmly welcomed. The menu offers a diverse range of delectable dishes, and every bite was a burst of flavor. The presentation was impeccable, and the quality of the ingredients truly shone through. What truly set this place apart, though, was the attentive and friendly staff. They were not only knowledgeable about the menu but also went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was memorable. They were quick to accommodate any special requests and made us feel like valued guests. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic meal accompanied by top-notch service. I'll definitely be returning soon!

Food was okay, service was terrible. Staff were very blunt, miserable and rude. Seemed in a rush to go home were mopping around our feet as we were eating even tho we came in just over an hour before they closed for something quick to eat and go. Waiter came over and said we had five minutes to order (which was fair enough) however after asking if we could be left for another minute to decide the waiter said “yeah” and stood over us. The combination of the huffing/rudeness and breathing down our necks as we ordered made us feel more pressured than relaxed or comfortable. Won’t be coming here again

Went there to celebrate a birthday with my family. We ordered the the royal set banquet,: the food was ok but overall the whole experience has been poor because of the service.

Our experience at the restaurant was outstanding! We ordered the army stew along with several other sides, and everything was not only delicious but also served piping hot and fresh. The quick service and attentive staff added to the overall enjoyment of our meal. It was a delightful dining experience, and we left completely satisfied with both the food and service.

Took my wife here for our anniversary meal and sadly it was really bad. We had to return one of the meals because it was so greasy, and the photo is of a “Korean crab pancake” which was like something a child would bring back from school cooking class. This was not authentic Korean food I’m afraid.

맨체스터 시내 피카딜리 가든 근처에서 볼일 보고 가까운 한식당 검색 후 간단히 점심을 먹으로 들렀음. 홀에는 태국인과 인도인이 서빙을 보고 있었음. 직원들이 차분하고 친절하며, 음식도 기대이상으로 맛있었음.

Ordered the jajangmyeon and fried chicken. The noodles was a bit too soft and the chicken was just mediocre. Had to wave down the waiter quite a few times.

Korean restaurant and bar, nhiều đồ ăn phù hợp với các du khách Châu Á. Món ăn khá ngon

I went there with my friend a few days ago. We really enjoyed the food overall. The atmosphere is great and the waiters are really nice and friendly. Will surely come again!

The food is really not value for money, all the dishes were so tiny!

Portion is so small compared to all Korean restaurant I have being . The Kimchi Ji gae have such small amount of pork meet , also 3 small pieces of tofu , and feel parts of kimchi. The potato pancake has not flavour at all . And the chicken dumplings doesn’t taste chicken . Truly disappointed paid £90.00 for meal for 2 person. I won’t recommend. Other hand staf is nice but little bit distracted.

no customer service. waiters are not happy with their job. food was just average...not good but not too bad...no reason to come again

The meat is chewy and it comes in very small portion. The pancake is just…not authentic at all. It’s shockingly overpriced, will never come again. We came just because the one we wanted to go was closed.

Always a delicious outing at Annyeong. Highly recommend the BBQ as a great social way to eat and wish we had more like this in my hometown of Telford. Service is very good and attentive.

Restaurant food is not hot. Service is below average. When customer BBQ in restaurant very bad smile inside. It is the worse korea restaurant i have been in United Kingdom. Food and drink are overprice. The waiter seem did not have training, seem they did not know the menu detail. And made tge wrong order. I give 1 star because they allow cancel the bill when i found the food is cold

Nice Korean BBQ restaurant in Manchester. Service can sometimes be slow but the food is always nice and I prefer the atmosphere here over other Korean restaurants.

Food was amazing! Had a great time food was well seasoned and had great portion sizes

To start off with the server gave us no greeting to when he approached the table to take our order. Stood there very awkwardly waiting for us and when asked about what veg came with some items he shrugged. When the food actually came, it was disappointing and for some reason the chef has an obsession putting peppers on everything when it's not needed. We ended up leaving majority of out food as we felt like we couldn't eat it.

Delicious food, nice interior and friendly staff. The bulgalbi was perfectly marinated! No music for some reason.

Nice food, shame definitely wont be back, Bad customer service, sorry ment no customer service at all, waitress just didnt want to be there, not kids friendly, only had 7 forks in the whole restaurant. Managed to get 2 forks for the kids. There was only a table of 10 in and us table for 4, so it was quiet, no one cleared plates/glasses off our table at any point, not even bothered to ask us if we wanted a drink, spent over £100, no kids' menu, and definitely wouldn't recommend..

Had the worst service ever at a restaurant. Staff were very poorly trained for service. Takes ages for them to realise need to take our order (happened to the table next to us too, they ended up leaving). Asked for the bill several times and was ignored, the staff stood there daydreaming after we told them we want the bill. All the staff looked so grumpy and had no manners, we asked for forks and the guy giving us the forks thrown it to my plate instead of putting it down on the table. It felt really uncomfortable when we were dining in as the server stood looking at you for no reason. We DO NOT RECOMMEND this place whatsoever. Staffs are very unprofessional! Don’t understand why they are employed.

Poor service - Overcharged for items they didn't provide. Food was okay

The good value bento box is only available Monday-Friday. Try the bento box or the Korean BBQ. We tried to order other dishes on the menu this time and were less impressed. They were not good value for what you get. Do not order the ginseng chicken soup, it was unfortunately overpriced and not as good as it should be. This is a great place to have Korean-style BBQ, so just do that and you can't go wrong.

I always come here, today I tired bbq set and korean rice cake soup and it was on another level, highly recommend

Food was absolutely beautiful and the staff were so nice!

I don't understand the low scoring reviews.....this is not a bad restaurant at all. We visited last week, without a reservation, and were seated instantly when it was already quite busy, and we had a great experience. Service was efficient and friendly, it wasn't instant but that was OK with us, maybe if you want to be served as soon as you sit down you could be disappointed. The staff could not do enough to help and were eager to ensure our experience was good. This was not our first Korean bbq experience, so we knew how it works, but if this is your first time, please don't be put off, you will be well looked after here. We ordered the set menu, and this was far too much food but was a delicious way to experience all the top meats. We took our leftovers home to enjoy the next day. Highly recommended if you want to try Korean food in Manchester City centre.

Thanks to : Julia, Andrew and Nilukshan for the amazing treat. My son Marc would give 100 stars. The food ....simply fabulous...highly recommended. I would like go back. Again .....Massive thanks.

This is one weird place. Stay home. I dunno whether the staff is underpaid or the chef is just inexperienced.

Horrible. Service was terrible. Me and my family were trying to enjoy our food and experience authentic Korean food when a waitress ruined our experience by creating a hostile environment through her micro aggressions. Do not recommend.
