Mangetsu

We love the traditional tasting foods at Mangetsu. The meats are well done, the soups are tasty, and the kimchee is spicy. The only disappointment is the rice. It's not the traditional sticky rice we love. But everything else is delicious and the service is good! My husband loves Sapporo, so it was well worth the trip from Orlando.

This is very casual restaurant with table service. While the atmosphere is low budget, the food was good quality. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. This is not usually my style of food, but the chicken teriyaki was tasty. They have built in warmers on the tables.

Probably one of my favorite restaurants since I’ve been to Florida. The wait to get a table wasn’t very long (we went at peak hours), and the service was very fast. The food was amazing, and the prices were fantastic. I’m a very picky eater too, and the menu was full of stuff that I would have enjoyed. If you are looking for the best restaurant in town, this is the one.

We went for dinner and we were 7 people. My son wanted to grill the food himself and the rest of us ordered kitchen made food and sushi. Sushi was yummy and we ordered enough for a sushi boat. All the other food was good too. We will be back. The staff was friendly and attentive. This place is always packed and you can’t make reservations so expect to wait unless your lucky.the only thing I would change is that they clear the table as plates are finished when the next course comes the old plates that are finished should be removed.

Mangetsu is located in the heart of downtown Melbourne and has a vast menu of traditional Korean food fare and more! This place can get busy fast, and due to limited seating and no reservations, make sure you have time to wait. It is a small place, a bit loud without much of personal space while dining. Very minimal decorations. But clean with a brilliant and helpful staff! The menu consists of traditional Korean, some Thai and some Japanese cuisine. All are fabulous! Plan on spending a long time picking what to eat because the choices feel endless. We started with hot tea and water and an order of their Monkey Brain (stuffed and deep fried avocado with crab) and the Takoyaki (Japanese octopus balls) Both were wonderful, crispy and loaded with fillings. Next was the Pork Belly BBQ which came with ALL the Banchan (Korean sides) and raw pork belly to cook on their grill. Generous portions, amazing fermented kimchi, lettuce wraps and juicy pork. Accompanied by soup or salad. (I did the ginger salad. So good!) The Seafood Jjigae was filled with tofu, squid and assorted shellfish. The definition of a comforting and warming meal!! Paired with rice and in a boiling stew, this was one of the best I’ve ever had! Mangetsu is a place you could visit daily for a month and still be left with so many things to try!!
