    17.2. Fried Dumplings 12pc
    Jody M.

    Great new place for Korean food. The best part is definitely the delivery of the food. It is brought to the table by a robot. The food is good and the staff are very friendly. The dumplings are delicious. My daughter enjoyed the ramen and I enjoyed the pork cup bap.

    05. Galbee (Short ribs) Box (1.28.23)
    Carroll N.

    1.28.23 I love Korean food and was excited when I discovered this fast casual restaurant on yelp. I was surprised to see how much foot traffic it has. I guess it's been open awhile longer than I thought as many people are aware of this restaurant. Orders are placed at the counter and they call the order when it's ready. Orders can also be placed online and they also do Doordash. The menu is limited. They offer bulgogi boxes, bibimbap, cup bap, soups, and sides. One minor irritation and inaccuracy on the menu is that it says vegetable tempura when it's not tempura. They should definitely update the printed menu as it's misleading and could be disappointing for patrons like me who are excited to see it on the menu. I ordered the galbee bulgogi box and a bottled Mountain Dew. It took longer to prepare than I thought it would, about 10 minutes. The galbee was perfectly marinated although slightly chewy. It would have been nice if they provided a knife and fork. They provided a metal spoon and disposable wooden chopsticks. The rice was cooked just right in terms of chewiness and moistness. I am a harsh critic when it comes to rice so if I say it was perfect then trust me. I thought the veggies were going to be dry, raw, and flavorless, but it was sautéed and seasoned. I got my veggies in today AND actually enjoyed them, which is rare. On my way out, the gentleman who took my order asked how my experience was, which was nice. Good food and friendly service. I am definitely a fan and will be back to try something else next time, perhaps the beef bulgogi. Until next time...

    01. Pork Cup Bap
    Amy P.

    I ordered lunch pickup. The place is located in small strip mall right off of Snowden River Parkway. I walked right in and picked up my order at the DoorDash pickup area without having to talk to anyone. I ordered Pork cupbap, fried dumplings and cheese ddukboki/rice cakes. Honestly the taste was just ok and had better at other places. I felt all of the food items were lacking in flavor but it's not terrible. I will have to try their other menu items and also try sit down option.

    New spot that opened up that's part of a small "chain" in the local area. They started up in 1999 in the Lotte food court over by Route 40 and have since "rebranded" I think for better appeal to other demographics. Their menu consists of a mix of traditional korean dishes and tweaks on Korean dishes that make it feel similar to street food. There are entrees that range from bibimbaps to soups and other goodies. Flavor is good and the staff is friendly. If you decide to dine in, they even have a little segway robot that delivers your food to your table (excessive? probably. but is it fun? definitely) Great experience overall and I'm always glad to see more options like this pop up in the local area.

    08. Bulgogi(Pork) Box
    Jasmine G.

    I first went here in February with a friend, and today I did an online delivery order for lunch. It's located in the same plaza as Papa John's on Snowden river pkwy, so there are some parking spots but it can get crowded in that center. When I first heard about this place, I wondered if it was somehow tied to "Manna", one of my favorite food spots inside Lotte in Ellicott City. After seeing several photos on the wall inside K-Manna of the Manna I just mentioned, I'm assuming they may have the same owners (but not confirmed). My go-to entree is the Galbi short ribs box. Nicely marinated and you do get several pieces, along with cucumber kimchi, veggies, egg, and rice. I also love their version of the yum-yum sauce that they serve with it. My husband likes the spicy pork bulgogi. I've also had the chicken karaage and fried dumplings, and both were tasty and fairly crispy. It seems like their main specialities here are the combo boxes and the cup baps (basically bibimbap in a large cup), and keep in mind it is more like a fushion style restaurant. Menu isn't too extensive, but they do also offer a variety of classic soups and stews like kimchi jigae, budae jigae, soondobu, yukgaejang, etc.) Yummy food, and I'm glad there's a Manna in Columbia now! The one in EC definitely serves the more authentic Korean food (since it's not fusion) that I love so much & offer more options as well, so I still prefer that one even if it's a slightly longer drive. But again, I'm still happy to have one that's closer especially for when I want a quick lunch delivery.

    09. Jeyuk Bulgogi (Spicy Pork) Box and 17.1. Fried Dumplings 6pc
    Jennifer J.

    This was such a pleasant surprise! It's one those when you're not sure what expect when you order for the first time (from a delivery app), and it exceeds your expectations! Authentically Korean and a little bit of everything lunchbox. Got the spicy pork box which comes with the pork, rice, rolled omelette (gyeran-mari) with some side dishes (banchan). Also got their fried mandu (dumplings). Everything was delicious and great portion sizes. Definitely a great spot for those who want to try Korean bbq meat without doing the the AYCE bbqs. I definitely want to visit in person and bring my husband. So glad I've discovered K-Manna and will be back soon!

    So it's an extension of the Manna restaurant in Lotte food court. Ordering is easy and a robot brings you the food. My mom and I tried their bibimbop. It did not have the traditional go-sa-ri which I was fine with, but it is a stable in bibimbop. Flavor was fine, with fresh ingredients. It was in a container that shaped liked the clay pot but not actually. It's a quick stop by or pick up place for standard Korean cuisines

    First time here and impressed. Very clean, fresh ingredients, cooked on the spot to order and delivered to table by a robot. Def coming back and trying everything on the menu if this authentic Korean restaurant

    Mike F.

    This is a fun place for good food. They have a little robot cart that brings the food to you. Service is fast and the food portions good size, we had lots to take home. They have a good variety of Korean style soups and bibimbap. This is definitely a stop to add to your list.

    a bento box with a variety of food items

    I'm a huge fan of their Odenton location. I always mention K Manna if anyone I know is working in that area. So glad they've expanded and this location is the same in quality. Stopped by recently and ordered their kalbi and beef cup bap. The kalbi and ban chan were perfect. The beef in the bap was so tender and seasoned well with their house soy garlic seasoning. My friends got our food fairly quickly. Prices are reasonable and if you're looking for a fast casual Korean restaurant this is the spot.

    The restaurant

    I'm happy this place dropped into this area, makes it super convenient for the commute and for south Columbia in general. You may remember this place from the Lotte or Hmart food courts like in Ellicott City. Great authentic Korean food (traditional and fusion). So like if you dine in and order Bibimbap you'll get it in a sizzzling hot bowl of goodness just like anywhere up north. Staff is friendly and you can order in Korean if you're more comfortable with that. Vegetarian options as well. I think the gochujang and kimchi could be a little spicier but they may already be too much/just right for some people. Overall flavor profile is 8.5/10 for a good bowl of Bibimbap. Will definitely be coming back.

    13. Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap
    Jason S.

    Nice people and good food. The best thing to get is the cupbap. Best bang for your buck. This is a nonassuming place where it's easy to pop in and pop out.

    John A.

    Food was so great and tasty! Big portions as well! And you have a robot bringing your food! I ordered their Galbee short ribs! And fried dumpling!

    Food robot was kind of cool

    I enjoy the Beef bulgogi with brown rice. Tofu stew was pretty good too. Order online and food would be ready when you arrive to pick up.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this place and their pancake is so crispy, it was worth the cost. I have tried…read moreso many times at home but can never get it to be this crispy. The soup was delicious too and full of substance. This isnt your watery soup. There was so much in the soup that you would be surprised or be like "yea, this is how a soup should be". It is an older place, but they deserve to be up and running for years and years. We think this is a better spot than Annandale and Centreville. Service was attentive and plentiful. Inside is nice and clean.

    We had 4 of us there over the weekend. Between us 75% are at least 100% to 50% Asian between…read moreKorean and Chinese and have been to many similar types of dining as this. Expecting to be great from all the reviews....mediocre at best. Overrated. Overpriced. We did 2 of the combo grill items and one entree. The grill experience just was not up to par. Rather than us grilling, they do it for you. So, first round with 2 different beef items, that seemed fine since it was grilled separately in the process aspect, but they took the meat off and swaped it so we could not grill as we wanted to as we wanted it. That first batch was way undercooked and very fatty. Second, tenderloin was ok. Then they did the combo beef and squid, and we saw that beef getting really nice, where we thought they would do the same in taking it off then doing squid. NOPE! THey just threw it all on and pretty much ruined the whole thing since we never intended to have them together...and for me, it was inedible since I can't eat seafood and squid particularly. WTF already. No mention of it in the menu unless it was in Korean language. Tossed that $ right down the crapper. As for ambiance and service, just don't have high hopes. The person doing the grilling split us up to access the grill and was constantly in the way of any conversation. Service? Hahaha..that's a 2 of 10 rating there. Never once even attempted to ask us if everything was ok, never asked if we needed anything or water, napkins, more food...just all business end and forget the rest. All 4 of us had the same thoughts. We had to pester them to get anything. This one is a one-and-done for all of us. It was so bad that I normally take images, and this was just not one for the books nor will ever be memorable other than an expensive mistake. Celebrity chef...whatever. Rosanne Barr is a celeb...'nuff said. This one can be skipped.

Given the various Korean restaurants in the area, I must say that this place is a great spot for family, friends and group gatherings. The food here is very fresh and the staff are very friendly. We ordered various dishes from their LA Galbi, Bossam, Fish and tofu soup combo, seafood pancake, spicy pork and their rice cake soup. The LA Galbi was the best we had in town. Tons of flavor and the meat was juicy and meaty. The Bossam was delicious. Pork was tender and comes with sides to help you bring out the flavor of the dish. Definitely ask for their bean sauce and slices of jalapeño and fresh raw garlic. The fish and tofu soup is really good and can be shared with others. Fish was fresh and flaky. The seafood pancake was thick and has tons of seafood and comes with a nice dipping sauce. The spicy pork was plenty and has tons of flavor. Not too spicy. The rice cake soup was surprisingly good. Tons of flavor with slices of rice cake, eggs and pieces of beef. Great for sharing especially with young kids. Overall, this place is great to check out if you are in the area. Comes hungry and you will be satisfied. Cheers!

He repeatedly gave our orders to other tables & when we complained and tried to order more food, he told us we COULDN'T order anything else until our missing orders arrived. Except THEY NEVER CAME!!! After waiting 20+ minutes, we complained again and Nye gave us such a rude and condescending tone and response: "We have other customers too ya know." Seriously?! WE'RE CUSTOMERS TOO, ya douche bag. It got so ridiculous that 38 MINUTES into our meal, our table of FOUR had received a grand total of TWO plates of meat - even those were the plates we had to take from the neighboring table because our food kept getting sent elsewhere. And here's the kicker: AYCE is only 90 MINUTES. More than 1/3 of our allotted dining time was basically wasted waiting for food that never came, while our server wouldn't even let us order more. We only FINALLY started receiving our meat after we complained to the Vietnamese manager. He immediately stepped in, got things moving & extended our dining time to make up for the ridiculous delay. Shout out to him!!! But having to escalate to a manager just to receive the food we were PAYING FOR is absurd. And maybe Nye felt like he didn't have to bother because the gratuity was already automatic due to our party size. That would certainly explain the complete lack of effort. When your tip is guaranteed regardless of how badly you treat the table, I guess actually serving your customers becomes optional? STAY AWAY or at the very least, pray you don't get Nye as your server.
