Manna

Reviewed By Geoffrey D - San Francisco, California

I'm very familiar with shabu shabu and this was the worst. We ordered the best quality beef on the menu and it was all gristle...the shrimp were all mush. It was basically meat and vegetables in
dish water. I'm HUGELY confused by this being listed as one of the best restaurants in Daejeon.

Absolutely, their best menu is Szechuan soup with noodle/rice. You can order for white soup or red soup, but both of them are actually a little spicy for foreigners.
Stir-fried dumpling and king prawn with chilly source are also tasty.
One shortcoming is that sometimes you would meet a long queue, so it would be better to avoid lunch and dinner time (12:00~13:00, 18:00~19:00).

I and my wife visited this restaurant for lunch. This restaurant was famous in this area, so we decided to visit. We ordered Pork Back-bone Stew with dried radish greens, that's excellent. The atmosphere was so-so, and the staff was very kind. This restaurant's dried radish greens was very delicious and the kimchi was good. Excellent restaurant..

Kingdom Buffet

Reviewed By SelinaKyle75 - United Kingdom

A very large party of us visited this buffet. We were accommodated for in a large, and very nicely furnished private room and the service was excellent.
This is a slightly upscale buffet restaurant with an amazing selection of global foods. The choice is huge and everything is extremely fresh and delicious.
The restaurant is located very, very close to the Tanbang metro station too, so it's easy to find.

I and my son visited this restaurant for lunch. This restaurant was famous and operating for four generations. The food, naengmyeon, was made by buckwheat, so the texture was more smooth and delicious. We ordered naengmyeon and pheasant meat naengmyeon, that's good. But pheasant naengmyeon was not good to me, because this food was only a little added pheasant meat, and the price was higher than I think. The restaurant was big, and enough parking area. The food was good and special, but the price was a little high related pheasant meat.

대전 시청을 기준으로 할 때 많이~ 떨어져 있습니다. 저녁에 가면 모닥불도 있고 정겨운 분위기로 멋스러운데, 그거 말고는 별거 없습니다. 식사는 비싼 가격대에 비해 만족스럽지 않았습니다. 대전 사람들은 거의 다 아는 곳이기 때문에 한번즘 방분해 보셔도 괜찮을 것 같습니다.

I and my son visited there for dinner with hamburgers. We sometimes have visited fastfood hamburger chain store, for example, Mcdonald, Lotteria, Burger King. But we tried to find delicious hamburger, and we found homemade hamburger house. This restaurant's hamburger was very big, and delicious. Too big, we could not eat by hands like chain store. Various menu, small size inside, delicious hamburger... Good

Outback Steakhouse Yuseong

Reviewed By KINOfamily

All the menus are described in English and easy to understand with pictures. Hospitality was great with English. Most restaurants around here have only menus in Korean and hard to understand...
This restaurant is comfortable and waitresses are friendly as in USA.
You can have dinner even alone easily.
I recommend this restaurant when you want to get energy ^^

Vesta Buffet

Reviewed By Bonny O - Great Neck, United States

Our family of 10 visited on a busy Saturday night. We made Reservations prior to and were seated promptly! There are two time sessions to choose from and we chose the latter which worked in our favor because most of the dinner crowd left after an hour or so... there was a good variety of food to choose from and many dishes that are prepped and cooked at call. Great dessert bar with a huge selections of cakes cookies and pastries, and ice cream and coffee bar as well! Definitely a must visit in Daejeon!

Have been here twice, and the second time I tried the unlimited wine. Was shocked by the low price, and the good taste of the wine!
Had the salad bar, which I think is more than enough. I have never been tempted to buy the steaks, though they look good. There is just so much on the salad bar! Very good, spicy soft-shell tacos, pizzas, lasagne, pasta, udon noodles, salmon, fruit, cake, and of course, salad. Simply a fantastic place.
Very vegetarian friendly.
