Easily one of my favourite restaurants in Nottingham! It's been a shining star dining location between me and my friends. We're not able to speak about Sarangbang without turning up within a week. I am super fussy about eating onions and they always cater towards me with a smile. I feel like it's become a bit of a joke that I say no onions to everything. Kimchi fried rice is to die for. The budae jigae is so hearty and warming. The Naengmyeon is so nice during summer. Crispy nut chicken never fails. I absolutely love this restaurant.

The food was really good! The place seems to love signs. On every wall is a sign with a "do" or "do not" order ... I found that quite funny. Service was okay. But to be honest I wouldn't go again. We didn't see the portion sizes on the menu and ordered what we thought would be a bigger meal. But at the end we spend more than 50€ and were not full...

Very friendly staff and a nice environment. Based on reviews from the past three months, this restaurant should be very good. However, I don't understand why my experience was different. I tried four different cuisines, and all of them contradicted the recent reviews. It’s not just me; others in my group had very similar comments. I am not biased.

Excellent food. Been a few times and always loved it. We had kimchi, nut chicken, bibimbap and bulgogi. Enjoyed every mouthful. BYOB is fine, as there's an off licence 10 meters away. One thing, though, they really need some music in there. It's a bit lacking in atmosphere, especially as we booked early and there was only another table in. It got busier later, but to start with was a bit awkwardly quiet.

Visited here with friends deciding to try something new for a change and we weren’t disappointed! The owner (I think it was the owner) was so lovely and friendly to us, for that reason alone we were prepared to come back but then came the food which was brilliant. Given that none of us had ever tried real Korean food before we were truly mind blown. The prices were also reasonable. We each ordered a starter, a main, 2 drinks came to £84 for 3 of us. Couldn’t recommend this place enough to anyone wanting to try something new.

This was our first time trying Korean food so we spent a long time reading through the menu deciding what to order. The descriptions were really detailed and helpful, and the waitress was able to advise us too. We shared chicken dumplings, chicken bibimbap and pork jjajang myun. All the dishes were outstanding and really tasty. Highlight was the bibimbap, the hot dish kept the rice cooking and we could add the Korean sauce to our own taste. We are not very good at using chopsticks so managed with spoons! No licence but you can take your own bottle and pay a corkage fee - we just had soft drinks on this occasion. Really great food, thank you!

Had the most wonderful experience at Sarangbang! The food was delicious and the service was execellent! The cafe had a very cozy and lovely vibe. The owner was really sincere and kind. I left my laptop bag at the restaurant and we were the last customer on a Saturday night (the restaurant closes on Sundays and Mondays), and the owner kept my bag safe for me and made a trip the next day eventhough it was an off-day, just to return my bag to me. Thank you so much, would highly recommend this place!!❤️☺️

We’ve dined in before and have ordered a few times on Deliveroo - Sarangbang is incredible! Really love how many vegan options they have, we always order the japchae, the tofu gimbap, and the fried tofu. So, so good. Since being pregnant all I crave is Korean food and Sarangbang cafe always comes through with the deliciousness. If they ever expand their vegan menu or add vegan kimchi, I’ll be the first through the door to try it all! Love your food Sarangbang, 감사합니다 ❤️

Although the site says lunchtime menu special, when I asked for the menu, I was informed that they hadn't done a lunchtime menu in three years. Another couple came in and also asked for the lunchtime menu. This should be highlighted as people are going to the 'restaurant' under false pretences.

The food was amazing, the portion sizes of the topoki, jigae and the japchae was very generous and very filling, all in all the food was amazing and could not be more happier with it, the service was no exception either very friendly and very quick, if you have any dietary requirements they will be more than happy to help to see what you can and cannot eat, all in all worth the money especially if you go with more than one person.

Fab food and waiter wasn't offended (or didn't show they were) by one of us mansplaining the chopsticks weren't proper korean ones 😂 The online menu with pictures was really helpful as most of us in the group had no idea about any of the food. Also try the fizzy milk/yoghurt drink. Sounds awful but was lovely! Photo is of my main course, spicy rice dumplings with cheese. Not quite like pasta or gnocchi but better than either of them.

Sarangbang sounds like the famous Sarangchae, Korean restaurant in Nottingham? If you're thinking, are they related? The answer is yes! They are both owned by the same owner and have the same chef. Due to coronavirus impact, they lay offs some of their staffs and end up with small team. Sarangchae is open for lunch whilst Sarangbang is open for dinner. The portion is BIG, they taste amazing, friendly staffs and owner! I use to go to Sarangchae as a student three years ago, it feels to good to be back here again, eating my comfort food.

We were originally going to go for an Indian meal but decided to try something different. Korean food is something I’ve tried before but many years ago so it seemed appealing. We arrived at the restaurant and were greeted warmly by the hosts and shown to our tables. The menu was a list with no description but this was due to restrictions caused by COVID-19. If you scanned a QR code on the sheet it was possible to get a full menu on your phone complete with images and descriptions. We ordered a few starters to share and one main course each. The starters were delicious and filling so by the time we got to the main course we could barely eat. Thankfully the restaurant provided plastic containers for us and we took the remaining food home to eat the next day. I recommend having just a few starters to share or main course only. That way you’ll be full without spending money excessively.

Usually good but the last meal we ate there was saltier than normal and now they are charging for tap water (bottled water), not providing tap water using corona virus as an excuse to make more profit. I haven't come across any other restaurant doing that at the moment. I'm guessing the extra salt is to sell more drinks too. Not impressed.
