MMG Birmingham

Head down to Stirchley and you'll find MMG tucked away on Pershore Road—the kind of place locals have already worked out but isn't trying to be cool about it. Walk in and you're immediately hit with the smell of Korean cooking done right: sizzling grills, proper broths, the works. The ratings speak for themselves (4.9 out of 5 from over a hundred reviews), and that's because they're genuinely nailing it with every dish that leaves the kitchen. This is the sort of neighbourhood restaurant that reminds you why Birmingham's food scene keeps getting better.
