    Honey Sriracha chicken.
    Craig H.

    Great chicken! Ordered the So-Ju tenders with special seasoning. I don't know exactly how to describe the seasoning, but it very good! You don't need a sauce with the So-Ju special seasoning. Ordered inside. Only took about 10 minutes. It's a small restaurant with a very modern vibe. If you haven't tried it, then give it a shot!

    Delicious Korean Food in Melbourne

    We tried the chicken fried rice and chicken tenders. It was ah maze ing! Definitely, going back!

    Red Sauce Chicken Tenders
    Rolando G.

    I came here for lunch on Friday and wasn't very pleased. I'll start by saying that I'm don't know much about Korean food, so please excuse my ignorance. I didn't like the coconut curry chicken as it was not served hot and there wasn't much chicken on the bones. I asked the waiter if I could have something simpler like chicken tenders and she was happy to replace the meal which was very nice. The tenders were pretty big and a big overdone for my taste, as some other reviewers have pointed out. All in all, it was a so-so experience. I also don't like how the owner responds to some of the reviews here with snarky comments, it doesn't seem very professional. I understand restaurants are hard work and I am not fast to give a bad review.

    Corn nuggets
    Eralene M.

    The chicken had good crunch and flavor! The restaurant wasn't busy at all when we went. You do order your food at the register and they bring it out when it's ready. Good place to grab so Korean wings if you're in the mood.

    Kimchi fried rice
    Andrew W.

    Quick food, friendly service, hot fresh chicken wings were CRISPY on the outside and JUICY on the inside. The kimchi fried rice had a nice vinegar kick and big chunks of pork belly, well rendered and tasty. Wings tried were: Gochujang buffalo - spicy sweet and crispy under the sauce Seoul hot - this one ended up being a dry rub which caught me off guard, luckily, I LOVE a dry rub blend. It was spicy, salty, sweet, crispy and I'd order 30 more if I had the time and funds. Will visit again. Will probably pick some sauces up if they keep being this good

    Chicken bites
    Ariana M.

    The corn nuggets were super yummy!! The chicken bites were very tender. Everything tasted fresh. Ordering online was super easy and picking it up was a seamless experience!

    Menu

    Service: 10/10.. very patient and friendly. Helpful with menu. Ambiance: 7/10.. simple decor, nothing fancy. They loss points because they had a rated "R" movie playing (aliens having intercourse with a human) and kids were dining in. The television was VERY large and not positioned where it could be ignored. Food: 5/10.. pains me bc I wanted to love the food. The wings were tasty, but could have used more seasoning. The garlic shrimp bowl was very bland. I would likely not go back, but encourage others to give it a shot.

    three chicken strips
    Kurt K.

    No frills eating establishment. They have a lot of selections but the menu kinda confused me. First time so it was a lot to take in. Ordered the chicken strips and they were pretty good. Maybe a tad too well done for my taste. Hard coating. Chose the Sirachia Honey sauce. They have sauces and dips so make sure you know which is which when you are ordering. The staff behind the counter was very eager to help and make what I wanted the way I would want it. So can't fault them. Music was a little loud.

The woman answering the phone was very pleasant when placing the order, and I received a warm, friendly greeting when I arrived for pickup. I ordered the Hot Mama Roll, which was easily my favorite of the evening. The combination of kani, eel, avocado, masago, and jalapeños wrapped in mamenori delivered the perfect balance of flavors, and I absolutely loved the jalapeño kick. If you're a fan of spicy sushi, this one is a must-try. I highly recommend pairing it with spicy mayo. We also tried the Rising Sun Roll, featuring cucumber, tempura kani, masago, and avocado, topped with tuna, salmon, and ebi with a touch of sriracha. Everything tasted very fresh, and the variety of seafood made for a flavorful roll. My only wish was for a little more heat. Clearly, I love my spice! Adding some jalapeño would have taken it to the next level for me. That said, it paired wonderfully with eel sauce, which added a nice touch of sweetness. Overall, Mangetsu delivered fresh, flavorful sushi and friendly service. A great option for takeout in downtown Melbourne, especially if you're looking for quality sushi later in the evening. We'll definitely be back.

We were sat they had Avatar the Last Air Bender playing on a TV in the back, great for my daughter, and friendly staff who sat us & got our order. Their menu features Japanese, Thai, and Korean cuisine and we chose Korean that night. Didn't feel like cooking the beef so we chose the option to have the chef cook it for you. The banchan was good but very light, which I'm not used to. I request the banchan to be refilled 3x. The kimchee rice was so good, best place I've had it! Overall, I personally wouldn't return back, everything was just over the 'average-to-good-bar' but who knows, there might be something I'm missing by not coming on the weekends.
