Good was really good! Octopus was pretty spicy but good. Three dishes cost around 70, a bit pricy

This is a nice small sized authentic Korean Restaurant with a Mom and Pop style feel. Service is usually really good with often refills for Banchan and Tea coming without asking. Their portions are good and the price is fair. Banchan is usually really good. This place has become one of our go to places for Korean cuisine in a highly competitive area for Korean food.

The food is amazing! According to my husband, this was the best kimchi jjigae he's ever had! Their duk mandu guk is so good! Everything tastes fresh and homemade. The restaurant is small and can get crowded pretty fast, which to me, shows how good it is. My only complaint is I wish they had a larger menu, which I guess is selfish on my part...

We stopped in for the first time for dinner. The place is cozy and be prepared to be in close quarters with your fellow diners. The service is pretty good for what appears to be a family run biz. We ordered a two bi bim baps and a spicy naeng myun. Strangely the noodles came out 5 minutes after the BBB. Everyone enjoyed their food-- fresh ingredients and good portions. The prices are fair as well. There are only about 10 tables or so-- get here early if you don't want to wait.

This place is legit! For starters, my partner and I received a tasty variety of banchan, my favorite was the fish cake. We were also given some hot barley tea to drink. We don't live near the area but the bibimbap and mandu were so delicious that it's so worth the 40min drive here. Also, the staff were so kind and attentive I felt like I was part of the family. Don't skip this place! It's so amazing y'all!!

Manna is comfort food at its peak. My bf and I found this restaurant when we were exploring the burbs and it left us happy all day long. Service: - Service was super quick and all the aunties were so sweet. They were really attentive throughout the entire time that we were there. - We really really loved the side dishes and we were so nervous to ask for more but they gave us extra because they saw how much we liked it. And as starving college students, that means the whole world. Food: - We got their Gamjatang (Spicy Pork Bone Soup) for both of us and honestly, the serving was more than enough. We didn't expect to both feel full but there was so much meat in combination with the veggies and rice and we were both beyond satisfied. - Broth was really rich and there was such a deep flavor with every bite. We drank the entire thing until there was nothing left. - Side dishes were not just sides in this meal. I loved that there was such a large variety of options that were offered. Our favorites were the pickled seaweeds (I swear its the best that I have ever had) and the Kimchi radish. Ambiance: - This spot is tucked away in the suburbs and it feels just like that. The interior is designed as if you were in your grandmother's home. While we were there, we saw a group of dads, uncles, and grandpas just gathering to have a meal. And it was just so heartwarming to see and this spot is the perfect spot for family and friends gathering. I wish I lived closer because I would definitely be a regular.

Manna is Korean comfort food at its best. It is comfortable and homey inside, and service was very friendly. I was surprised the kalguksu had homemade noodles in it and portions were generous with consistent side dish refills. We're going to add this restaurant to our list of regular rotations!

Finally ordered from Manna again since the pandemic. They were one of our favorites as they had such good banchan and delicious sikhye. They have reduced some indoor seatings and started offering more banchan to-go options in a few standing fridge by the register. We ordered two seolleungtang and a bibimbap. Didn't know really the price anymore but wanted to support this local restaurant. All three came out to be $45 total, and while initially I thought it was pretty pricy, but when we saw the quantity, wow they give you so much food! Totally worth the price! Bibimbap-- was huge! They packed the purple rice and the toppings separately. Fresh cut vegetables were so fresh and crunchy and clean. They also included tofu cubes too, which is different than what I've had elsewhere! It comes with gochujang in a separate container you could add to taste. It also comes with a side soup of bean paste base. Seolleungtang-- was a stable, and two orders of this were clearly too much food. Took us two days to finish. It comes with rock salt in a separate container. Comes with purple rice. Banchan-- our favorite was the fish cakes, and I really liked the daikon and cucumber kimchi as they were sweeter in flavor. The napa cabbage one was really good too but too spicy for me.
