Korean Food Café · Nottingham
A taste of Korea on Mansfield Road.
Sarangbang serves authentic Korean dishes — hand‑rolled kimbap, bubbling jjigae, sizzling jeon, and the rice‑cake stir‑fry the city queues for — in a small café at 129 Mansfield Road.
What we cook
Korean home‑cooking, made by hand.
Three corners of the Korean kitchen — the rice bowl, the hot pot, the pancake — cooked the way they're cooked at home. No shortcuts, no fusion. Just the food.
Rice bowls & hand‑rolled rolls.
Bibimbap built on a bed of glossy short‑grain rice with stir‑fried vegetables, fried egg, and Korean chilli sauce. Kimbap rolled to order — tofu, beef, prawn, katsu — sliced into bite‑sized pieces and dusted with sesame.

Bubbling stews & noodle pots.
Kimchi jjigae simmered long enough that the fermented edge softens into umami. Sundubu with silken tofu, mussels, and a yolk you crack in at the table. Kimchi ramyun, the comfort food the city orders on a Tuesday in February.

Pancakes, topokki & sharing.
Haemul pajeon thick with spring onion and mixed seafood. Topokki — rice cakes glossed in gochujang — with cheese melted across the top or cooked together with ramyun noodles. Plates that arrive in the middle and disappear together.
