Il Mandarino In Empoli

17/02/2025: I only ate really greasy food, so I visited because I wanted to eat something spicy, and I was satisfied. I was truly satisfied with the fried rice. I ate Jjamppong with the sauce provided on the table, and it was spicy when I opened it up a bit. To be honest, Jjamppong tastes more like red pepper paste stew than Korean Jjamppong. You can think of it like this. I was embarrassed after taking one bite, but I ate it thinking it was a good idea to eat this much in Europe. There were some Korean tourists. Sweet and sour pork is pretty good. Overall, the portion size was small, so I ordered a lot. But since it was cheap, it wasn’t a burden. But the fried rice is really recommended! I went with my wife and had fried rice, sweet and sour pork, and Jjamppong and two colas. It came to 30 euros.

Since I was worried because I didn't know the menu well, a male part-timer gave me the number and the menu in Korean for the menu that Koreans often order (jjamppong, shrimp fried rice, mapo tofu, sweet and sour pork) and left haha. I think it was the most satisfying place I ate while traveling in Italy. 100% intention to revisit Indeed, the jjamppong tasted more like tteokbokki soup than the typical jjamppong soup. I enjoyed it haha
