Got the Manna chicken (sweet sour) box with sides of kimchi and yellow corn with cheese. $12 Not much inside seating, food is ready quick, wasn't too busy around 5pm on a week day. Staff were knowledgeable. read more

The kimchi was some of the best I have ever had. It is in house made. Very fresh. We had chicken wings, miso soup, seafood pancake, grilled pork belly and stir fried glass noodles with beef. All of the dishes were delicious. The staff was amazing. This was our first visit and we plan to return very soon. read more

This is one of my go to takeout spots. I love the kimbap, bulgogi dosirak, and chicken cutlet box. The friend shrimp always tastes freezer burnt so I'll be passing on that next time. read more

We ordered spicy pork bimbimbap and bulgogi dosirak. Both really fresh and delicious. The spicy pork comes as a level 2 spicy (which was good for me) BUT they give you a full container of gochujang sauce on the side to up the spice level to your liking. And that little container packs some heat! The bulgogi was tasty as well. Good slices of steak with very little fat. Smoky or grilled flavor which gave it a nice twist. The bulgogi sauce is there but it's light. Would have been nice to get more of that expected flavor profile. Came with a choice of sides. We had grilled kimchi and pickled carrots. The veggies were prepared well, not overcooked and, just in case anyone was wondering, the kimchi is NOT at all spicy but still tasty. All in all a hit with our house. Each meal was perfectly portioned for one. Check them out. read more

Don't know how we got so blessed to have this down the street and their new update to include sushi (pleasantly delighted at how good it is) they make most things in house and service is great! Love! read more

It is nice seeing asian food in the area that is more affordable. I always walk around the area for my lunch break and gave this a try. The price for what you get is worth it, especially with the generous bulgolgi to rice proportions. The bulgolgi was juicy and tender. The kimchi was not spicy in my opinion, which was good for me. The food took about 10 minutes, which is pretty normal for asian food. I feel like this place is a hidden gem in the area and hope it will stay here for a while. The restaurant is not made for dining in, as it only has bar-styled wall tables. The area looked clean and had cute decorations behind the counter. read more

I was visiting DC and this was the closest restaurant to where I was staying, so looking for a quick dinner, I decided to check it out. Completely empty when I went on a Monday night, the space is small with about 5 seats available inside. They have a straightforward menu with meat and vegan options, and the boxes are customizable to what veggie sides you want. I tried the manna box with tofu as the protein ($11) and carrots and broccoli as the sides. The food was ready in minutes. Although the tofu was nicely seasoned with soy garlic sauce and decent, the carrots were heavily pickled and the broccoli was simply steamed. Overall a simple meal with no flare. read more

Good, steady, reliable, reasonable, local, quick, honest, like an old friend that isn't ambitious, but doesn't let you down, and is great for a weeknight. Ambiance of a bus station, but fresh market ingredients and friendly people. read more

Ordered the manna kimbap and steak box with yellow corn and pickled radish. Kimbap was good, but the steak box was actually so bad. The steak was tough, grisly, and the flavor was burnt/gross. The first thing I thought of when I tasted it was like the burnt weed taste you get when you try to hit an empty bowl (haven't smoked in 10 years but it immediately brought me back). I never leave bad reviews but it was just so disappointing that I had to. The corn side was good but it was legitimately 2 tablespoons of a serving. Will not be ordering from here again. read more

Very delicious! Very authentic. Reminded me of the food I ate in Seoul. Highly recommend!

Oh, man - we really wanted to like Manna Dosirak, but the food here seemed to cater and appease the non-Asian tastebuds. Their menu offers various appetizers (mandu, japchae, gimpab, haemul pajeon, etc.), bibimop, and dosiraks. We came here for an early lunch, and we ordered: +Gimpab - filledw ith carrots, radish, cucumber, and seasoned brudock root; the rice was very vinegar heavy, and the kimbop was way too sour +a Bulgogi Bibimbap - came with rice, lettuce, shredded radish, shredded carrots, cucumbers, bean sprouts, and a fried egg with sesame oil, sesame seeds, and green onions on top; the bulgogi was okay, but it was more on the sweeter end; the veggies were okay, but they could be a bit more fresh and more crunchy/crisp +a Chicken Cutlet dosirak - the chicken donkatsu was okay; it was thin and breaded well, and it came with a side of donkatsu sauce +a Shrimp dosirak - you can opt for hot or a sweet sour sauce; we opted for the hot; the shrimp had a fishy smell to it, so we didn't eat it; the side banchans were similar to the ones in the bibimbop - could have been more fresh and crunchy/crisp; we did like the shrimp tempura, as it was very crispy, but heavily breaded; the jahp chae was too oily Service here is super friendly! There is a kiosk where you can order; the place seems to get tons of online/mobile orders for pickups. There is limited counter space with some stools to dine-in, but most seem to get their orders to go. We're glad to give this place a try, but wouldn't return. Parking available in shared small lot. +friendly service +limited counter seating inside +parking available in shared small lot read more

This place has to be the worst Korean restaurant in DC if not the entire DMV area. Without seeing the kitchen I'm almost certain that it's not Korean people cooking the food. Maybe it was good when they first opened but we couldn't even finish our food. Bulgogi probably ok but the meat was very chewy, donkatsu was very dried, never had kimbop rice tasted vinegar, soonduboo soup was very oily with no taste. I wouldn't come back here even if they offered free food, if you haven't had Korean food you might not be able to tell. I would highly recommend bangbop instead even though they are a little more expensive but it's worth it. read more

Visited during the pandemic... Very friendly owner! First time here after reading the glowing online reviews and it did not disappoint! Small mom and pop shop with pretty authentic Korean food. I got the spicy pork and it was delicious. All the side dishes are very well made too! I highly recommend the cheese corn! Very well priced and affordable. Will definitely come back again read more

Very very tasty and reasonably priced! Bento boxes are great value. We got the spicy chicken. Very solid. read more

I'd heard good things about this place and decided to grab some takeout for dinner. I like that their menu has so many options and also allows for a lot of customizability. I had the spicy chicken box and some gimbap (always a sucker for gimbap as it reminds me of fun treats while traveling). The spicy chicken was perfectly cooked with a good heat without being overly sweet which sometimes happens. The cucumber kimchi was solid, but I found the broccoli didn't need all the extra gochujang. The gimbap was perfect and very fresh. Totally balanced out the meal. read more

Manna Dosirak is the latest restaurant in the tiny strip of businesses on the corner of 15th and D Streets NE in Kingman Park. It's a tough spot as its predecessors moved on from the location. I hope Manna Dosirak can crack the code, because their product is excellent. It's a small Korean restaurant owned by a couple. The wife takes your order and they both go to the nearby open kitchen to make your food. The space itself caters to the take-out crowd, but there are several high stools with wall seating. Note there aren't any outlets so don't expect to charge your phone as you eat. The menu includes boxes and a menu for larger portioned food. They also sell bibimbap. For $10.50 after-tax, I ordered the beef box with white rice, kimchi, and cheesy corn. Each part of the meal was well prepared and the seasoning on the beef...wow...amazing! They have a fridge stocked with all kinds of soda. For $1 (they take cash), I had an orange Fanta from a can. read more

AMAZING AFFORDABLE KOREAN FOOD IN DC!!!! I usually have to go to VA for cheap delicious Korean dishes, but this is game-changing. Love to support a small family business. This is so perfect for take-out because of the boxes. The boxes come with rice and 2 sides, and the Manna Dosiraks come with additional 2 sides. I LOVE THE SPICY PORK! The Chicken Cutlet also not bad. Favorite sides are Japchae, Kimchi Cucumber, Radish, and Yellow Corn with Cheese. Also enjoyed the Kimchi Napa, Fried Shrimp, and Vegetable Mandoo. Can't wait to come back and try more things :-) read more

I am obsessed with this place. Thanks to COVID, I think I eat here once a week. Everything I've had is delicious, the staff are so kind if you have questions about the menu or whatever, and they've made their space look really neat. I'm a fan of the cheesy corn, the beef and the pork are equally good, and the mandu are the perfect complement. What are you waiting for? Go now (or order online, I don't know your life). read more

I go to this place weekly for lunch. Quick service, very clean and well portioned food. I get the bulgogi, with a lot of kimchi and noodles. And it already comes with white rice! read more

That steak bulgogi though! Delicious. Went back 3x in 2 weeks because neither my children or I could get enough. Fast, delicious.

An unassuming neighborhood Korean place - how awesome!! We tried the japchae, kimchi, fried shrimp, kimbap, seafood pancake, and it was all utterly perfection. Definitely give it a try if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Drove up from NC and wanted to grab a bite to eat nearby for our first night, and Manna Dosirak was only a five minute walk from our AirBnB. The food was hot and ready for us within 25 minutes of putting in the order! We ordered two bulgogi bibimbaps and a haemul pajeon, and both were delicious! The portions were large -- one bibimbap bowl is big enough for two, or one really hungry person. The haemul pajeon was huge and packed with veggies and seafood. The only thing for me was that I wished the egg was sunny side up instead of a fired egg with no runny yolk, but that's a personal preference. read more

Manna Dosirak - Steak Bulgogi Bibimbap and Haemul Pajeon (Korean Seafood Pancake) - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

4.5 stars What a lifesaver during this pandemic! Manna Dosirak has generously portioned Korean boxes that come with variety of sides, as well as bibimbap. I regularly get the pork or beef boxes, and usually opt for the cucumber and cabbage kimchis as my primary sides. If you order a manna box, you also get two more sides. The jap chae is solid and I usually opt for the jap chae and shrimp as my manna sides. Skip the curry though, as it's a bit bland (close to Japanese style curry, but needs more concentrated spice). One of my friends swears by their tofu, and it looks like they are veggie friendly. Online ordering is super easy from their site, and I've always had good customer service here. This is a quick grab and go spot, so social distancing usually isn't too difficult. Overall, quick, reliable mom and pop shop with good food. read more

Amazing food! I live in the neighborhood and finally decided to try this as I'm so tired of ordering delivery. Menu is a bit confusing, but I'm sure you can't go wrong. Firstly, Cheesy corn !!! The kimchi isn't too overbearing, the bulgogi may be the best I've had, and the veggie Manoo is insanely delicious. Great value for your money- all this for $15. The lady was very kind and it was ready quickly. I'm definitely getting extra corn and manoo next time- I suggest you do the same! Please eat local and keep this great place in business! read more

Manna Dosirak - Bulgogi Manna Dosirak with japchu (upper left noodles), Manoo (little dumplings), cheesy corn, and kimchi - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Wow! I cannot tell you how much I love this place. In the last two weeks, I've ordered here at least five times. The woman running the place is so sweet and more importantly, the food is just GOOD. If I had to nitpick, the japchae is just a tad too sweet, but even that doesn't stop me from ordering it. It's consistent, I've never had burnt food or food where the flavors were off. I've also tried the kimchi fried rice, and I've definitely had better with that one (wasn't slightly sweet like the original recipe typically calls for and pretty dry) but I can't bring myself to knock off a star because the boxes are just so good. Corn cheese in a dosirak?! AND I get japchae, meat, rice, a veggie, and fried shrimp? For that price? This place deserves SIX stars it's so good. I recommend the Pork Cutlet Manna Box and the Spicy Pork Manna Dosirak. It is now dinner time and I didn't plan on ordering from this place tonight but talking about it is making me miss it, so I'm off to UberEats. EAT HERE, I promise you won't regret it. EDIT: Ugh, I ordered the chicken cutlet this time and this place can do no wrong, just look at it! read more

Manna Dosirak - Chicken Cutlet Box Juicy, well-cooked chicken, crunchy breading, and the donkatsu sauce is perfectly sweetened! - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Overall, Manna Dosirak was a great experience. I ordered a Beef Bibimbap bowl for delivery. The order via the app came on time with no issues. The bowl was delicious, with everything still hot, perfectly cooked beef (other than one piece), an excellent beef-and-veggie-to-rice ratio (not too much rice like many bowls), and a delicious spicy sauce on the side. Additionally, Manna Dosirak's bowl was appropriately priced, affordable, and a good portion size. read more

This is a great Korean spot! I got takeout here recently and was impressed by the flavors and portion size. The bulgogi was very tasty, juicy and flavorful. The plates come with an ample portion of rice and kimchi. I also had the sweet pancake, which was not overly sweet. Perfect mix of sweet and savory. I like this spot a lot and would recommend it! There really aren't a ton of Korean places in DC, so this one definitely fills a much-needed void of reasonably priced and tasty. read more

Cool Korean spot tucked away in DC. I ran past this place on a run one morning and immediately thought I had to try this place out. Very convenient and easy to access if you're picking up. Everything they had sounded so good and the portion size was just the right amount to leave me satisfied but not overstuffed. Delicious and flavorful which made me super happy since DC doesn't have as many Korean spots. Dosirak pork was really good and mine came with a couple of veggie sides and 2 dumplings and one tempura shrimp. Ordering during COVID can usually mean backed up orders but this place was great. When I came on time for my pickup the pickup was seamless and they had already had my order ready. Excited to try some of their other dishes in the future! read more

I used to enjoy going to the korea/Latin fusion restaurant that was once where Manna is now and boy oh boy do I wish that the old restaurant was still there. I tried the bulgogi with brown rice, broccoli and cheese corn. I also tried the chicken with white rice and kimchi. The best thing that I tried was the cheese corn. I felt like the bulgogi could've used an accompanying sauce and the chicken was mediocre at best. The kimchi tasted very Americanized to me as well. I also tried the ho-tteok ( the dessert pancake) it was mildly sweet but it didn't have any other real flavor besides being sweet. Overall, I've had better korean food. read more

I've never had dosirak before but it is similar to Japanese bento box. Start by choosing white or brown rice, your main (bulgogi, chicken, pork, tofu etc), and then pick 2 side items from category A and category B. I thought the bulgogi was incredibly well seasoned and had a ton of flavor. I also liked the mandu and japchae sides. The shredded carrots had a slight pickle to them which I didn't expect and cheesy corn didn't have a ton of cheese, but I still enjoyed them. The only reason they're 4 star instead of 5, is that it took about 15 minutes to receive our food after ordering. It would be great to order ahead on the phone but no one picked up at the time. I will definitely come back because I've heard good things from friends about the spicy chicken and pork cutlet so of course will need to try those. Overall, Manna Dosirak is a very welcome addition to the neighborhood! read more

Manna Dosirak - Bulgogi dosirak with mandu, japchae, cheese corn, carrots - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

So I wanted to start this review by saying "I am confused by these other 5 star ratings" but that wouldn't be fair because I have not tried everything on the menu. However, I did order the Steak Box with Cucumber Kimchi, and Broccoli. The food was just OK, emphasis on OK. The bulgogi tasted pre frozen and I just couldn't get passed that. Kimchi, broccoli, and rice were fine but the reviews were honestly misleading (TO ME) because the food was just not good lol. I def wouldn't return here. If you want delicious Korean/bulgogi, BANGBOP IS DELISHHHH. BUSSSSSIN. look it up. thank me l8r! read more

Food is really good, & the price you can't beat. Service is always nice and its always on time.

The kimbap was so good. Very fresh and it took a only 10mins to get the whole order ready. The gimbap was also really good. It's a tiny place, it is mainly for take out. read more

A neighborhood gem if there ever was one!! This joint serves up amazing food at affordable prices. Since discovering them during COVID, my go-to main has been the spicy pork, and I haven't been disappointed their menu. Everything has been high-quality and delicious. The soondubu is awesome and huuuuge serving. Re: the sides, don't sleep on the cheesy corn. Honestly, I'm upset about not knowing that I should have out cheese on my corn this whole time. And, they also have freshmade hotteok for dessert! It's really dope. The final pluses are that online order is super easy and that the owners are just super nice. It feels quite easy to pop in your order and swing by the COVID-safe space to pick up. There is also a nice selection of Korean snacks and drinks for sale in the store. read more

I was craving Korean food today and I found this place DoorDash. My friends and I got 3 bentos (the chicken, steak, and spicy pork) and they were delicious! The meat and all the sides were very tasty and well cooked and the price was decent (each bento was $12.50). Would definitely order from here again! read more
