Both establishments cite interest from Greenpoint residents and growing foot traffic as reasons for choosing the neighborhood. The restaurants offer Korean cuisine in fast-casual and sit-down formats, respectively.\n\nMandu House occupies a small storefront near the northern end of Franklin Street. Its menu centers on dumplings, bibimbap, and seasonal banchan. The owners, Jiyoon Kim and David Choi, previously ran a pop-up by the same name in Williamsburg. Mandu House is open for lunch and dinner daily, except Mondays.\n\nSoban, located along Nassau Avenue, provides a more traditional dining experience. Chef Eunji Park leads the kitchen, with a menu emphasizing barbecue platters, stews, and soju cocktails. Soban seats 40 and accepts reservations online. The restaurant plans to add outdoor seating later this summer.\n\nBoth restaurants report brisk business since opening, with weekend evenings seeing the highest demand. Other nearby Korean or pan-Asian venues include Dokebi Bar & Grill and Gupshup, though neither specializes exclusively in Korean fare.\n\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>\n<h2>What are the names and addresses of the new restaurants?</h2>\n<p>Mandu House is located at 112 Franklin Street, Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
