"Soju for 3,000 KRW, Jjajangmyeon for 4,000 KRW"?…Dongmyo's 'Manliseong,' the 'King of Value for Money,' You MUST Try 'This Menu'!
Everyone, can you believe a price of 'Jjajangmyeon for 4,500 KRW' and 'Soju for 3,000 KRW' in the heart of Seoul?
This is a real story at 'Manliseong', a Chinese restaurant, the 'king of value for money,' located in Dongmyo, the 'sanctuary of retro.' The authentic 'old-school' vibe and flavors that make you doubt the prices! I'll share my personal review.
A Place Where 'Time Stands Still,' A True 'Old-School' Vibe
'Manliseong' is hidden between buildings, exuding the aura of a 'master' from its entrance, as if only those who know it can find it.
The interior is a space where the traces of time are fully preserved, truly feeling like 'time has stopped.' Even the slightly sticky wooden tables feel nostalgic, creating an atmosphere that those who love the 'authentic old-school' vibe will unconditionally adore.
'Value for Money' Menu Recommendations!
- Jjajangmyeon (4,500 KRW):
"This is 4,500 KRW?" you'll exclaim, for a classic taste true to its essence. The lack of meat is a minor drawback, but considering the price, all is forgiven.
- Special Menu - Tangsuyuk (Sweet and Sour Pork) + Jjamppong (Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup) (8,000 KRW):
"Tangsuyuk and Jjamppong for under 10,000 KRW! This is why it's a haven for solo diners." The Tangsuyuk features an old-school sweet and sour sauce, and the Jjamppong's clean broth, made without mussels and only squid, is appealing.
- Bokkeumbap (Fried Rice) (6,000 KRW):
Skillfully fried without excessive oil, it boasts a superb, clean, and savory taste without being greasy.
