Sarangchae Korean Restaurant in Nottingham

The food was good, but it was so cold that I couldn't bear to turn on the air conditioner or turn on the lights. The whole room was dark and cold, like eating food delivered by the prison guards in a prison.

If you want top tier Korean food, go here honestly you won’t regret it!

First time there. Loved the food and service was quick, which was perfect as we had a gig to go to.

Delicious and cheap. Taiwanese students thanked this store in 2015

Food was okay and the quantity is not sufficient for the price.

Quick service and wonderful food, we are planning on going back for our anniversary meal

very rude staff/management and food was subpar

Authentic Korean place in Notts, close to car park 💯

Delicious food and friendly service in a relaxed environment. I’ve been several times and have enjoyed everything I’ve tried. Generous portions and well priced. Vegetarian and healthy options are available, as well as a variety of spice levels.

Honestly the best Korean restaurant in Nottingham. Must. Visit. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We come to this restaurant often because the Korean food is pretty authentic and full of flavour! We have tried many dishes on their menu by luck and none of them have disappointed us. The photos below are only the most recent dishes we ordered. Remember to book a table because it's a small restaurant. You might not get a sweat especially during peak time. We did walk-in twice and they were full.

I remember ordering take away with my friend often here last year and they would fill the tupperware almost full. Today I was especially craving beef bulgogi and had it to take away for dinner; however the portions were apalling and an absolute disappointment! I would at least expect a full dish of it as it was without rice. They barely gave me even half of the tupperware’s worth. I’m so disappointed and completely ripped off - £12.90 for this! Don’t think I will ever come back.

The best Korean food that I have ever eaten in the UK! The people who run this restaurant are so lovely and I can’t recommend enough if you want AUTHENTIC Korean food! The best place to go in Nottingham for Korean food 100%.

A large group of us ate here this evening so plenty of different dishes were tried and the food was soooo good. It was quiet so lacked a little atmosphere but the food and service certainly made up for it

Very good place, excellent food.

First time visit, but will return! Menu great selection, food was stunningly tasty and portions just right. Service was very friendly and attentive. Price wise, good and competitive with similar restaurants, but for authentic korean experience cant go wrong here. Highly suggest giving it a go!

Food was utterly disappointing. A massive drop in quality from previous visits with price increase as well. Rice was soggy and undercooked, when told waiter he showed us an attitude and was very rude. Food was not worthy of price at all, such a disappointment.

The rice wasn’t cooked and the waiter was a bit annoyed. Not a good experience

authentic but not that good, can be better i guess. but there is no other nicer korean restaurants in town so i sometimes go here

We had a great first dinner here tonight. The staff were really friendly and every piece of food was perfect. I recommend the friend chicken and the beef kimbap. It felt very cosy inside and had a real authentic feel to it.

Have a family restaurant feeling. Want to try every dish on the menu.

Always such a good time at Sarangchae! Had the crispy nut chicken (must-have), doenjang jiggae (comforting) & beef gimbap (homey) here and everything was amazing as usual. Really great service & atmosphere too, thanks so much for the great dinner as always and looking forward to being back sometime soon!

I came here a while ago I had bibimbap, it was delicious. The portions sizes are great too. Genuinely, just heaven, I’ve just ordered the beef kimbap, please teach me. This is so so good. Honestly, delicious.

Literally the best chicken I have ever had (not an exaggeration). Order the crispy nut chicken (spice warning) or forever regret it

Really good food and portion sizes at a great price. Would highly recommend

Very nice service. But the takeaway food, unfortunately, was not tasty.

Went here with my partner - Portion sizes were large. The food was very tasty. I was looking for an authentic Korean food experience and judging from other's reviews I found one. It isn't cheap but it was worth it. The food also came out extremely fast and the staff were lovely.

Brilliant restaurant, always delivers top quality food.

Authenticity at its finest and the best kimchi pancakes we've had. They also serve halal chicken in their dishes so Muslims close by should definitely try it out.

Great food and service! Def recommend

I ordered a black bean sauce tofu with noodles. And the food wasn't having flavours at all. The sauce was more like water. When I asked the staff, if the dish is supposed to be like that? Or I was wrong. She confirmed that it is supposed to be a little salty and flavourful. And when I said, the dish isn't like that at all, she asked me "What do you want me to do?" I was stunned with that response. Just left and wasted £13.90 😐

This place is amazing! Really really really really good food!

Lovely food, fast efficient service. Not a first date place.

Quality of the food is not the same. Not sure if it has changed hands coz the name of the restaurant is different too.

Best Korean take away food I have ever eaten! Excellent quality and very tasty! Big portions too! The Seafood Topokki was my favorite!

Very authentic Korean food, great place for a casual meal. It has a large variety of dishes and is very well priced. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a taste of Korea.

First time korean food very nice but a bit pricy

Authentic and delicious Korean food. Good service (no service charge). No complimentary small side dishes though.

Best kimbap I have had in Europe. Everything else was great too

Really yummy Korean food, great veggie options!

Google should add a 0 star option. This is hands down the worst restaurant I’ve been to in the UK no joke. I’m not saying the food is inedible but it is not worth coming at all. Everything is extremely overpriced and food quality was poor. I ordered a Doenjang-jjigae that cost like 14 pounds and all I had was 5-7 thin slices of potato, chilli flakes and 2 whole mushrooms max. I basically had water diluted with small amounts of chilli paste and a few pieces of vegetables with rice. Asked the server why there wasn’t seafood as I believe I saw seafood on their online menu and he blamed it on me for ordering the wrong thing. My girlfriend ordered a Beef Japchae that cost 10 and it was tiny, watery and the temperature of the food was all over the place. Some noodles were cold, beef was hot, and the vegetables were luke warm. We might not have ordered their “signature dish” but this is pretty unacceptable give we paid quite a lot. I would’ve been so much more happy if they gave me bread and butter to eat. I’m writing this review in their restaurant right now and McDonalds seem like a 3 star Michelin restaurant compared to what we experienced. I don’t think I’m being unreasonable here, one of the waiters that seemed like a part time worker was nice but the other guy that seemed like a manager/owner was pretty rude when addressing my concerns when I simply asked “is this my order, I think I ordered the one with seafood”.

Really nice food i defo like eating here now and then as it’s a little expensive ! But the opening times are wrong on google so I came and it’s shut … :( - update they changed the timings on google! Also want to say this place plays no music so the atmosphere can be very weird at times.

넘 맛있고 대박! 찐 한국인이 운영하셔서 찐 한국맛 납니다 ㅎㅎ 최고!

We were disappointed with their service and food today. It is such a shame as I really enjoyed my two visits previously. :( First there was a long hair found in the egg of bibimbap and they took our order wrong for the second dish. Mistakenly served us chicken instead of beef. Then because I bit into a ddoek, they said they cannot change the order. I did not realize the meat was different until I started stirring into the dish! I am Korean and I feel that this restaurant does not really represent our true taste. I hope they take this feedback seriously and make improvements in the future!

This restaurant is quite simple from the outside, but so friendly and caring, they also prepared a seat for my toddler, with bowl and cutlery. The food was amazing. It actually helped to browse the menu on their website, because it contains pictures and descriptions. We enjoyed our meal (and so did others, all happy people around) and left absolutely stuffed. I have diabetes and despite me eating soup and sauce of a bulgogi, I didn't get a significant spike.

Great food, always try to have something different, never disappointed. Most recently had the fried rice, very simple but incredibly tasty.

A nice, cozy atmosphere and really good, authentic food, with big portions for a reasonable price! This is the best Korean food I've found so far in the UK and I always stop by when I'm in Nottingham

Great little place with fantastic food.

I left the restaurant after 20 minutes because no one came to serve us.

The food was amazing and the serves too

The best korean restaurant in Nottingham indeed.

Very very slow service my daughter already finished her food & I’m still waiting for my order. F_ _ _ _ _ _ g B _ _ _ _ _ _ t Service!👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

Wonderful food, reasonable price.

The food was excellent, flavoursome and the Ramen was spicy. The meal was reasonably priced and service was quick.

Fresh and tasty food! Super friendly and attentive staff! Brought me a portion of kimchi on house for long wait even tho I was waiting just for 10min ish

The best service and nice atmosphere 💯

best place to eat in Notts. Amazing food and staff helpful, prices are great.

Just as good as Saranbang. Was upset when I saw they didn't do evenings but I rang and this place is also theirs so came down here instead. Great food and lovely staff

Absolute banger! Such good food, excellent service and can’t believe how quick the food came out. 3 completely different dishes in maybe 10 minutes max? Can’t recommend highly enough.

The food was incredibly bland and distasteful. Ordered 5 meals with the first one coming 15 mins and 3 10 mins after that and the 5th near the end when we were done eating. Poor customer service and too expensive for the trash food they serve.

If you are in a good mood for some Korean food this restaurant is a great option🌟. The menu has a good variety of dishes and the food is always fresh and delicious🍛. The service is also great - the staff is friendly and attentive. They have enough vegetarian dishes too. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a good Korean meal. 😋

Great food, really nice flavor!

Fab little restaurant serving authentic Korean dishes. I had the Cheese Topokki without the fish cake - which was tasty and filling. The portion sizes are quite generous, so I’m glad I didn’t have a starter! Prices are good, and the staff are lovely.

First time visiting here- First time eating Korean food. It will will not be my last! Food was fabulous - staff were pleasant efficient and nothing was too much trouble. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming what more could you ask for!!

Really great food and good service. Definitely will be back!

literally the best restaurant ever!! they let you bag up food to take home too.. the kimchi jeon especially is so good

Great food! Their nut chicken is exceptional and so is their kimchi pancake! Beers are a bit expensive but they have some korean beers and some other asians ones (unfortunately nothing on tap). I cannot stress enough how good the food was and the service was extremely quick. I will definitely be coming back

I love korean food it is one of my favorite cuisines. Sarangchae lived up to all expectations. The staff were friendly and helpful in recommending dishes. The food itself surpassed all our hopes, it was fresh, tasty and flavors exploding in my mouth. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for excellent food and service

The most delicious Korean food I've tried in foreign countries so far! Very authentic as all dishes are made from native Korean chefs. Decent portions and definitely worth the price! We have now become regular visitors as it's too good to just go there once. Strongly recommended! Remember to book a table during weekend nights as the restaurant is small and very busy!

the cheese topokki is my new obsession. The service was very fast and also very reasonably priced

Still among the best Korean food in Nottingham!

Ate here a couple of weeks ago. Really nice food and good portion sizes. The staff were really helpful. Would recommend, I will be returning.

5 years since my last visit, I’m delighted to say that the rappoki is still as good as I remember it to be.

Amazing value for money and really genuine Korean cusisine. Loved it.

The food was pretty good and our server was friendly. However, they allowed us to book a table close to their closing time but started to rush us out, which felt a bit uncomfortable. And, not serving tap water is illegal. The reason they give is because they don't want to give out cups, but ordering a beer and canned drinks, we still got cups given to us.

This little unassuming place, next door to nowhere, serves wonderful Korean food. Best Korean restaurant in Nottingham. Strongly recommended!

Apologies the name for dished are not so correct , I can’t remember them ;( Kimchi soup -little spicy with Toufu inside Also recommend with seafood Spicy chicken 🐔- once you had it you want it again lol Beef on hot pan- marinated in sauce before frying, one of my favorite in this place Egg roll-Can’t bit a beautiful korean egg roll. Let the protein rocket go 🚀 Zhajiang noodle - one bite is enough to travel back to Korea. Bit light taste, would prefer more salt 🧂 Zhacai - vegetable fried clear noodles yummy Milkis - Korean soda drink yogurt flavor Thank you for bring proper korean food so close to us. Wish you all the best ;)

Price increased, not as good as before

100% the kind of food I remember from my visit to Korea. Real food. Everything is fresh and homemade; you can tell because it tastes fantastic and it's filling, but you feel great after a meal here. My favourites are the BiBimBap and the Japchae. Also, try the kimchi and the savoury pancakes!

A long time didn't enjoyed a delicious Korean foods.

Amazing authentic korean food, great value and great service. Would highly reccomend.

I went for lunch today and ordered chicken bibimbap. It was incredible, I can't wait to go again! The staff were friendly and gave great service and the servings were a very good size, definitely worth the money. Recommend if you're looking for a place to eat in Nottingham! :)

Really delicious food and friendly staff. A very enjoyable lunch indeed, and I will go again

Absolutely delicious and amazing! It was my first go....BUT NOT THE LAST! I can guarantee you that! Worth it all! Small chilled restaurant with a huge impact in delicious food! I am telling you.....YOU MUST GO!

I had beef Bibimbap and Pork Bulgogi with Dumplings. It was very nice. The prices are standard 11 pounds for main courses and if you love Korean food it's a good meal for two

Is it just me or do all Koreans like their soup piping hot?🙋‍♀️ After a meeting in Nottingham, I went to Sarangchae for a lunch. The interior decoration was simple and it’s like the traditional family run restaurant in Korea. Sarangchae 📍 278-280 Huntingdon St, Nottingham NG1 3NA WHAT I GOT 🍲Kimchi Jjigae with kimchi dumplings Jjigae is a Korean stew and usually served in a pot. I love seeing the Jjigae boiling hot when it’s served. So warm and satisfying 🥰 The Jjigae included kimchi, kimchi dumplings, tofu, vermicelli noodles and served with rice. Some pork belly were used to make the soup more tasty. It’s spicy, hot and fabulously piquant 😋 How about the kimchi dumplings? See my next post on Instagram @ccgyozalover for details🤗 Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for authentic Korean food. Jjigae is absolutely one of my fav Korean dish. How about you?

You can stop searching - you just found (probably) the best Korean restaurant in Nottingham. There are veggie, vegan and gf options. A HUGE range of dishes. Staff were friendly, and the food was served as soon as it was ready and you could really appreciate the freshness. The inside decor is modest, but the food, service and table wear shine through.

I loved the food, and the staff were really friendly and helpful! Thank you for a great meal! 😊😊 감사합니다!

Food was amazing, we needed something quick and easy to eat. It was a last minute booking but they were very nice and got us sorted 😊

Wow, this is Korean food the way it should be. Amazingly cooked and extremely tasty. I would definitely recommend it to anyone living or visiting Nottingham.

I book table for 2 to say I love you to my partner who love Korean food.SARANGCHAE means I love you.Food is great.You better book table as it is busy.I think International students love authentic taste of Korean food. Lunch time at Sunday was full of customers what make us happy.Decor could be a bit updated as it's does looks like more takeaway place although we love food.Big portions.

food was absolutely good. 2 stars off because of the rude staff. service was unpleasant. their rappoki is to die for! bibimbap is good as well.

First time in a Korean restaurant and it was well worth the wait. Fish cakes, crispy chicken and Bimimbap were all delicious. The aloe king mango drink was also very refreshing. Will definitely come back again.

Prompt service, friendly staff members and excellent food, best Korean restaurant in town.

Absolutely delicious, great variety, very friendly staff. Definitely found a little gem here can’t wait to try more of the menu

I don’t live in the centre of nottingham but it was so worth coming into eat here! Absolutely delicious food, the osam bulgogi was my personal favourite

Food was very good and the staff are very polite

Love this place , friendly staff and beautiful food, 100% recommend to the people who love korean food❤️❤️🙆
