Man Ri Sung Restaurant — Restaurant in Richmond

My boyfriend and I went to Sura Korean BBQ this afternoon. We ordered kimchi pancake, Kimchi-Jjm and pork bone hotpot S. I’ve kinda want to give this restaurant a try half year. People are waiting in the line everytime I walk by. However, I totally hate this restaurant. A young Korean man took our order. Everything went smooth at first. And It started to going bad. The first dish they served is some kind of soup or stew. The server wasn’t the one who took our order. We took him we did not order any stew or soup. Then the guy came up to us with really unpleasant attitude. He questioned us that we said we “confirm” we ordered stew. Funny part is that he never confirmed after he took our order. He left our table and spoke something in Korean. This is the last time he served us. I guess he pushed his duty to other associate. Several different ladies and guys helped us with serving 3 dishes we ordered, side dishes and check out. Whole time we eating in sura was okay. Quality was ok. Don’t order kimchi pancake. Kimichi JJm tasted pretty good. When we checked out, a lady expressed that you need two boxes right? I did not get it at first place. Then my boyfriend told me people usually ask customers to pack leftovers. The lady did not explain this rule to us, instead she took our leftover in the back. The guy whose took our order packed our leftover, and he and other workers laughed so loud for something. I am too afraid to eat my leftover … so I wasted them. … This is one of worst experience I had… I wonder how the server can treat us like that. He blamed us and gave us bad attitude…. I am NOT GOING TO this...

We had two orders of the BBQ Duck Combo for 6 pp - there were 15 of us and it was more than enough food. Overall, the food was okay; just not good quality Korean food in my opinion. The boil dumplings were nothing close to the delicious mandu I’ve had. The Peking Duck (a Chinese dish at a Korean restaurant???) was just cut up bbq duck with wraps…the meat was dry; so sad for this bbq duck fan! The seafood pancake was the restaurant’s first redemption; it was crispy top and bottom, just the way I like it and I know from experience that not all restaurants can get it right. The bbq LA short ribs were delicious, but they always are, no matter who makes them. The duck hotpot with cut noodles was very nice - the noodles were the perfect chewiness and the broth was flavourful. Some at the table, though, thought it to be too salty. The duck congee for sure was salty, but I loved the thick texture and full-flavour of it. The japchae was good, too, except for the soggy noodles. Anyway, you get the picture. Would I go back? Maybe for the...

Great place for Korean Chinese food. They currently have a special price for their Peking duck. I usually come for the Peking duck and the Jjangppong / ja jung mein and deep fried chicken/ pork combo; which is enough food for three people. The jjanppong soup is so unique from any other place; there is a unique smokiness to the soup, it’s delicious-You know it when you try it yourself! Everything here is better than your average Korean restaurant. You see the owner greeting the customers and cooking. It’s got a real mom and pop feel. Best to call ahead to confirm that they have a duck saved for you as sometimes they sell out. I try to come here once a month and bring out of town guest here. The service is good, staff are friendly, and prices are fair. It’s a easy go to restaurant when you want something...
