When mentioning the area with a large concentration of Koreans living in Hanoi, many people will immediately think of K-Town (or Koreatown, Korean street) in The Manor urban area, My Dinh 1 ward, Nam Tu Liem district.
This place, known as Korean Street, is located on two streets, Do Dinh Thien and Tran Van Lai, stretching about 1 km. Along the street, there are nearly 40 Korean food restaurants with diverse menus.
Diners will be able to enjoy authentic Korean cuisine right in Hanoi. From fish cakes, fish cakes, hotdogs, gimbap, cold noodles... to bibimbap, beef soup, these dishes are prepared almost exactly the same way as the original in Korea.
In particular, grilled meat is a dish you definitely cannot miss. Most of the owners of the grilled meat restaurants here are mainly Korean, serving mainly Korean residents so the flavor is kept original.
If you like watching Korean movies, you will surely recognize grilled meat appearing throughout the screen of the land of kimchi. The meat is cut into bite-sized pieces, marinated with sesame oil, garlic, sugar, green onions, black pepper… then grilled on the grill until golden brown, fragrant, and extremely eye-catching.
Ms. Quynh Hoa, a resident of Me Tri urban area, said: “This area has a lot of Koreans, so the restaurants all have quite standard Korean flavors. Many restaurant owners are even Korean. Of course, the food prices here are also higher than other places.”
Popular restaurants in K-Town include Mafu - Malatang & Mala Xiang Guo, Fam's Chicken, Seoul Hotteok, Gardenia, Hoolala Chicken, Dabang Chicken...
Not only attracting diners with its authentic Korean dishes, K-Town area located in The Manor Hanoi urban area also owns countless beautiful photo angles. The whole area has a strong classical and romantic European architecture, combined with beige and light gray tones... in true Korean style.
In addition, visitors can also find Korean-style supermarkets, cafes, hair salons... in this neighborhood.
