Myeong-Dong Korean Restaurant

 

Myeong-Dong Restaurant is located in Towada. Though their menu selection is limited, the food is wonderful. Once you step inside, you feel as though you have entered the home of a Korean mother. They have both western and eastern style seating.

The menu is divided into three sections, Main Dishes, Noodles and Barbeque and Snacks and Side Dishes. Two of my favorite dishes are actually on the snack menu, Ddokboggie and Hotteok. I highly recommend them! Along with the dishes, this restaurant serves Korean beverages as well.Non-alcoholic=  Sikhye (traditional sweet rice bevarage), cinnamon juice, Korean Cider (soda) and Alcoholic = Makgeolli (milky, sweet alcoholic bevarage made from rice), flavored makgeolli, black bean makgeolli, pear makgeolli and soju.

Directions: From POL gate go straight following Route 10 into Towada. Bear left at the fork in the road and take a left onto route 45. 45 turns into 145 and the restaurant is on your right.

Manna: Korean Restaurant

 

If you have a craving for some great Korean cuisine look no further than Manna Korean Restaurant located right outside the main gate across from LaLaLa Karaoke and Tubes.

I have been to Manna three times and have enjoyed it each time. Though the restaurant itself is small and simple it has been my experience that these are sometimes the best places to eat.

Manna offers a variety of Korean food including bilgogi, bibimbap, dolsot-bibimbap (rice and vegetables in a hot stone pot), various stews and soups. You will also get a small appetizer, usually kimchi. Today we were offered corn tea. The owner is really friendly and speaks Korean, Japanese and a little English.

What Manna lacks in looks it really makes up for in taste and quality of the food. And isn’t that what its all about? It seems like the previous restaurants that used this space failed quickly. Let’s not let this happen to Manna! I recommend it!
