Mannam — Restaurant in Norrköpings kommun

The food looks very pretty and the staff are very friendly so definitely great points for this but it's all completely let down by the quality of the food.

Had the kimchi noodle soup and there are some good flavours yes but when I'm served what is very clearly cheap instant noodles for a sit down meal then I start to question every ingredient in the meal. The price to quality ratio as a result is seriously off and in a pretty rare occurrence for me I didn't even finish it. The dumplings were also very likely out of the freezer from ICA and the bao buns again looked pretty, but upon eating realised, it was more of a chicken bread roll in texture and composition.

It continues a bit of trend here in Sweden that google restaurant reviews are either inaccurate and/or the locals don't really have an understanding of what some of these foreign dishes are supposed to be like.

Quite a shame be ause it's a nice location and friendly staff but if I'm deconstructing the sourcing of the ingredients for the meal as im eating it then nothing can really make up for that.

My advice to the restaurant would be to look into different bao buns and definitely better noodles, and it should be markedly improved from those changes alone...while you look into some of the sourcing for the...

The quality of the meat is good but if I was blindfolded and fed this in my apartment without knowing which restaurant it came from I would guess it came from a Swedish restaurant.

They basically assemble the protein in a bowl with raw carrots, raw sprouts (somewhat problematic because sprouts are usually grown in less than pristine water which is why they are never eaten raw in Asia) and raw spinach leaves and call it Korean food (it most certainly isn't).

The distinct flavours of wine vinegar and ginger are totally missing and the amount of coriander is negligible though I confirmed that I want it in the dish.

And yes there is kimchi (which tastes like the pickles in my hotel breakfast buffet).

The Tsingtao beer which is one of my favourite beers was not chilled to the degree I like and it had a slightly metalic taste which suggests it was nearing its expiry date.

The free tea is the much dreaded flavoured fruit tea made from supermarket teabags the locals are fond of.

Luckily I don't live in Norrkoping because if this is one of the top 3 restaurants in town I can't imagine what those I haven't had the misfortune to try are like.

PS: the third star is for the lovely service...

Very tasty and generous portions for lunch, with abundant salmon and delicious sauce. The salmon and veggies were fresh, the potatoe noodles were great, all in all very cohesive dishes where all the flavors and textures worked well together.

Cozy place with spacious seating area both indoor and outdoor. A bit on the pricey side but considering the quality of the food and the generous portions, would recommend and...
