Korean Food Café · Nottingham
A
taste
of
Korea
on
Mansfield
Road.
Authentic Korean home‑cooking on the doorstep of Nottingham's Trinity Square — hand‑rolled kimbap, bubbling jjigae, sizzling jeon and the rice‑cake stir‑fry locals queue for.
What we cook
Korean home‑cooking, made by hand.
Three corners of the Korean kitchen — the rice bowl, the hot pot, the pancake — cooked the way they're cooked at home. No shortcuts, no fusion. Just the food.
Bibimbap & hand‑rolled kimbap.
Bibimbap built on a bed of glossy short‑grain rice with stir‑fried vegetables, a fried egg and Korean chilli sauce. Kimbap rolled to order — tofu, beef, prawn or katsu — sliced and dusted with sesame.

Bubbling stews & noodle pots.
Kimchi jjigae simmered long enough that the fermented edge softens into umami. Sundubu with silken tofu, mussels and a yolk you crack in at the table. Kimchi ramyun, the comfort food the city orders on a Tuesday in February.

Pancakes, topokki & sharing.
Haemul pajeon thick with spring onion and mixed seafood. Topokki — rice cakes glossed in gochujang — with cheese melted on top or cooked together with ramyun noodles. Plates that arrive in the middle and disappear together.

Tonight's pot
Budae Jjigae.
Spicy pork sausage and spam stew, cooked with kimchi, dumplings, rice cake, tofu, pork, vermicelli and ramyun noodles in a deep bubbling broth. The Korean army stew — born of postwar improvisation, perfected at our table.
Experience the authentic taste of Korea.
