Memphis Seoul markets itself as serving Southern food with a Korean kick, and with dishes like ramen mac n’ cheese and Korean cornbread, it’s living up to that promise.

The Brooklyn restaurant is looking to expand into Manhattan later this year, according to operations manager Richard Blue, who spoke with Nation’s Restaurant News for our Restauratour series.

“We’re hoping to expand to a few more locations in Manhattan — East side, West side, Upper East Side, Upper West Side. We’re still in the process of figuring that all out,” he said.

Blue recommends the Korean BBQ Meatloaf for any newcomers to the concept. The Southern-style meatloaf is infused with Korean bulgogi marinade and drizzled with the chain’s signature Seoul Sauce. He recommends it with a side of ramen mac n’ cheese and Korean cornbread for the full experience.
