Came for dinner with my friends to celebrate my 1 year work anniversary at my job! We ordered a little bit of everything. Service was amazing! At first it took a second for someone to get our order, but after that everything was smooth. Workers were very friendly, attentive, and engaging. We ordered the Galbi and the Cold Noodle Combo. Meats were incredibly tender and cooked perfectly. I think the galbi was extremely tender. Now for the side dishes. I enjoyed the kimchi and the potatoes, bean sprouts and some kind of fish cake dish. Rice was also fluffy - not too wet & not too dry. I love that this is an authentic Korean place run by a sweet couple. Overall I think we had a great experience. I used to come here when I was a lot younger and now as an adult. Nostalgic and tasty. read more

Eating at Manna is a comfortable experience. The staff are wonderfully inviting, and they'll definitely get to know you if you frequent their establishment. I'm a fan of their cold noodles, where they add a few drops of wasabi oil, followed by a healthy squirt of vinegar into their chilled beef broth. The slight spice, vinegar, broth, sesame seeds, and sliced Korean pear make for a wonderfully refreshing bite. The cold noodles are stretchy with a slight chew--just make sure they cut them (or you cut them yourself). Their grilled mackerel comes with a nice, smokey exterior. Butterfly after they bring it out, and then remove the internal skeleton, and you'll have nice meaty chunks. Their porridge portions are very larger. Seemingly sharable, and tasty. They don't have pine nut porridge though. The galbi tang has a great, garlicky bone broth. Within, you'll fish out large chunks of galbi that have been stewed for hours. Served with white rice. The banchan collection is reasonably varied and fairly executed. If you want something hot as a beverage, you can request their barley tea, though sometimes they'll just provide you with it in place of water. They also offer BBQ, but their bbq galbi tends to be fatty. Anyways, definitely give many items on their menu a try, and they will happily provide you with recommendations; they know what's good to eat. read more

Tried their new goat soup this time and spicy squid. The lady was surprised we ordered the soup and even asked if we were sure. It was actually a great soup, rich in flavor and with nice and fatty broth! The squid was nice and chewy with a strong warm spice. read more

Tucked away in a shopping center across the street from 99 Ranch is a great little spot for authentic Korean food. The kimchi pancake was delicious! The sizzling sound of the dolsot bibimbap was music to my ears. Wait for it to simmer down and your patience will be rewarded with extra crispy rice! read more

Their porridge, Galbi Tang, Japchae, and grilled mackerel are all gluten free. They no longer serve the pine nut porridge I was really interested in, so I ordered the vegetable porridge instead. Both the porridge and the Japchae come in very large portions--each feels like enough for two servings--and they both taste great. The Galbi Tang is even better. The grilled mackerel is insanely good--the best I've ever had. It's not fishy at all, very flavorful, and has an amazing smokiness that's truly unforgettable. The service is casual in a good way--fast, friendly, and even a little fun. Don't be surprised if your server calls you "baby." read more

This was my first visit back in 2026, and it felt so good to return to Manna Korean Restaurant! Every time I come here, I'm reminded why I love this place so much. The food is consistently delicious and comforting. My absolute favorites are the vegetarian tofu soup and the hot stone vegetable bibimbap--both are flavorful, hearty, and perfectly cooked. The sizzling stone bowl adds such a nice touch to the bibimbap. They also serve a generous variety of banchan (side dishes), which really elevates the whole dining experience and makes the meal feel extra satisfying. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the food always hits the spot. If you're craving tasty, authentic Korean dishes--especially vegetarian-friendly options--this is definitely a place I recommend. Come hungry and enjoy every bite. Cheers! read more

Mom and pop Korean restaurant. Very casual. We got Spicy seafood noodle soup, LA galbi , and Pork bulgogi . It was just 2 of us so probably could have done without the pork bulgogi. Variety of banchan and they refill. Everything was delicious. Honestly a hidden gem. read more

Really good authentic Korean spot. The dishes are pretty big and has the right amount of spice to give flavor. Every meal comes with the normal Korean sides. The good is so saucy, I do wish the meal comes with more rice to cleanse the pallet. Cant go wrong with a soup or bulgogi of sorts. The boss lady that worked there was really fast and friendly. Great place to do buy for a fast bite! read more

I used to come here all the time when I was in college and 99% of the time I would order the kimchi jjigae. The banchan can be hit or miss (the potato is always good), but the kimchi jjigae is always hearty and comforting. You'll like the kimchi jjigae here if you like your stew more sour, which is how I prefer it sometimes. read more

First time coming here and I wasn't really impressed with the food quality and the service. You rarely see your server until it's time to pay for the food. I ordered beef bulgogi and the meat had a weird texture. You can tell it's not the best quality of meat and the taste was lackluster. They do give free banchan but they don't refill it here. Banchan tasted okay but like they didn't really put any effort into it. Oh well It was good for me to come here and try but I wouldn't come back again. read more

Galbi was tender, smokey and delicious! Spicy pork was good but nothing extraordinary. Tofu soup was a bit bland but good enough for me because I usually don't like my soup too salty. It was comforting enough. I liked their potato side dish as well. Quick and fast service. Not overly friendly but not rude. Low-key vibe. Definitely a little hole in the wall, hidden gem spot. I would definitely come back to try their other dishes. read more

My friend took me to this small, family-owned Korean restaurant over the weekend, and I'm so glad that she did! Some might call this place a "hole-in-wall" location but I truly enjoyed every dish that we got, especially the complimentary banchan dishes. We asked for refills on some of the banchan dishes and the staff was very friendly/generous and did not hesitate one bit to give us the additional requested refills. I really liked the texture of the rice noodles in the Jabchae dish and the LA Galbi Short Ribs were grilled to perfection with such tender pieces! I did wish that the onions were grilled as well, but I'll be back again and might request it next time! If you want some homemade, authentic Korean food that's priced right and with generous portions, you'll enjoy your experience at this restaurant! :) read more

I had the #10, Dolsot - Bibimbab for lunch. Pro's: lots of food and service was fast. Cons: Not much beef in the dish, rice wasn't 'sticky/burnet' on bottom of pot and the dish didn't have a great deal of taste that I've experienced with other restaurants. Plus the menu prices online are cheaper than what was on the menu we were handed. Sorry, but that needs to be looked at quickly otherwise people might call it a bait and switch tactic. We thought the meals were 'good', not great. The 3 condiments (potatoes, cucumber & kim chee) were good but at other local restaurants they always offer to refill them, but not here. Still, they had a varied menu but wish they would have a lunch menu for lighter mid-day meals instead of a higher priced, larger portion, dinner meal. read more

You know the Korean food is good when we went on a random weekday lunch and we were one of the only tables that didn't speak Korean. This is definitely a mom and pop restaurant with the sweetest lady taking our orders and making sure we were comfortable. The portion sizes are very large and nicely flavored. The sizzling hot bibimbap really hit the spot on a cold rainy day read more

I recommend galbi jungshik combo. The galbi meat is sweet and tender. I usually get their seafood soon tofu soup with it. The seafood soup broth is always nice. The mackerel was delicious too. I also tried their seafood pancake, and it was good. The service is usually only one lady, so it's not always the best. However, the food makes up for it. read more

I love Manna! The food is delicious and keeps me extra full. Each meal comes with a variety of Korean side dishes that are refillable. I got the seafood noodle soup, which is listed as an appetizer on the menu but it is enough food for a full meal! It is a little spicy, but not overpowering. The shrimp and crab both have their shells on them. You can use the extra plate they give you to get rid of shells. read more

Don't come here expecting great service, the food is pretty authentic though. Got a fun array of banchan- they had the sweet potatoes, which are my favorite! Also the kimchi was good kimchi and the fish cake were tender. Tried the seafood casserole dish. Lots of seafood, wish there was more noodle. The soup was salty but spicy. Good korean fix. Definitely 2 dollar signs. read more

In short, the food was good, the service was awful, and the prices were not terrible but not affordable. I enjoyed my soondubu, as it was a hot bowl of tasty tofu, but had very little meat. The banchan was average, but we only got 4 small plates for the 4 of us. They do give you a good serving of food and the food came out as a good time. However, the service just left a bad taste in my mouth, so if I came back it would be for takeout. It's located by other Korean stores, so there's plenty of parking. Seating is spacious too. read more

This is a no frills Korean restaurant. I went for the first time for dinner today and was not disappointed. If you are looking for authentic Korean food this place has you covered. I got the galbi and cold noodles. It was delicious! The banchan was also very yummy. They had braised potatoes which is one of my all time favorite side dishes. It can get busy so be sure to come early. The staff does their best to check in on you as well. read more

Service was amazing. Our waitress was extremely kind. Food was great and it's a nice little spot to get a bite to eat.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend, he said this is the closest thing you'll get to authentic Korean food. As soon as I walked in, I knew this was going to be a regular spot for me. They offer so many traditional korean dishes, I'll definitely be back to try more. I really enjoyed the LA galbi, spicy cold noodles, and tofu soup. 10/10 reccomend you coming by to support this local small business read more

The attached pic only shows about 1/3 of the #45 since I plated it at home, haemool jeongol so the portions were HUGE. Salmon sashimi is always fantastic quality and super fresh as well.

I had amazing pork bulgogi here. My friends got the beef bulgogi and bibimbap, and they liked it. The side dishes that are served with the food were also really good. The food was expensive, but it was worth it.

More adventures in dining, this time after visiting a few Asian markets in the Lamar Boulevard area. Stopped in for lunch in November with a dining companion. Service and hospitality was good. Food is cooked fresh to order, so depending on how crowded the restaurant is I can imagine the wait times will vary. We ordered the Spicy Cod Roe soup with vegetable and tofu (Al Tang) and the Spicy Kimchi soup with tofu and vegetables (Kimch Jjigae). The lunch was served with banchan (small side dishes). Both my dining companion and I enjoyed the dishes and would certainly visit again when we are in the neighborhood to explore their other menu items. read more

Wooowza! Their cold noodles are really good and it was so refreshing, especially from the Austin heat. The noodles were chewy and the vinegar added that extra flavor. The lady who served us was extremely nice and even offered to teach me how to eat the noodles. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in town! read more

Really doesn't look like much when you're looking at it, but this place is definition of a mom and pop Korean shop. This is my go to when I'm missing my moms cooking and wants some good kimchi jigae or bulgogi! They also have sushi but I don't recommend going here if that's what you're looking If you have someone to eat with highly recommend sitting in and getting the budaejigae (army stew) sitting and enjoying all of the ban chan! Don't expect any sort of great service, this again is a mom and pop shop! You come for the gold flavors and good, not for 5 star service. It's sits in the same plaza as Hana Market that is a Korean market! So usually after I eat or pick up food it's nice to be able to walk next door and grab some extra snacks or desserts! read more

I went to this restaurant in a pretty big group (11 people) and they were able to accommodate all of us very quickly. I had ordered the Dolsot Bibimbab. It was one of the first dishes to come out and it was sizzling when I got it. However, the meat was cold. I had a couple friends try it and they agreed that it was cold. A friend suggested to mix the meat with the rest of the dish to heat up the meat. That makes sense, but I've had this dish before at other Korean restaurants and I'm pretty sure the meat should have been hot. My rice wasn't really crispy at the bottom of the bowl either. The banchan was pretty decent. I probably won't be coming back, but I'm glad I tried it. read more

Great authentic Korean homecooking in a family owned restaurant. We had the seafood pancake, japchae, galbi, and the fried mackerel and everything was tasty. The portions were generous and the banchan was fresh. Would recommend all of the dishes we had! The decor was simple and the service could have been better, but the food compensates for all of that. I will definitely be back to try more items on their menu. read more

The perfect spot for casual Korean food. The flavors were well balanced flavors and the portions were huge. The Jjambbong had noticeable seafood flavor in the broth, great portion of actual seafood, and tasty chewy noodles. The side dishes were actually really tasty on their own as well, savory and seasoned well. read more

Authentic, legit, homemade, made-with-love Korean food. However else one can describe them positively. This restaurant's owners and staff take pride in the food they serve. Pride in food should speak volumes to you true food lovers out there. It certainly isn't the next trendy place in town that charges for every little thing you point at and add. They're not set up like a Chipotle or Subway. No offense if you like following steps 1-9 or what have you to order. Don't get me wrong, as a Yelper, I'll try anything once just to try, but hasn't that become a bit of a chore with the trendy spots? I love reviewing, but just because they're hot and new doesn't mean they'll be good. I have to be selective because like most, I don't get the quality I pay for at some trendy places. Just a pricey bill for consuming mediocrity. Now then. If you like seafood, you have to try their seafood pancake app. Crispy and delicious! Does anyone else use appetizers as a barometer with which to predict a restaurant? I'm sure some of y'all do. Ever try Calamari just to predict how Italian places are like? If they can't do Calamari right, don't expect to get your mind blown. Try their seafood pancake! All of the other go-to Korean dishes here are great such as Galbi, Bulgogi, Bibimbap, and Jap Chae. Those are our usual orders when eating Korean. This time we had Jap Chae, seafood pancake, and Galbi. Always sooo good here! I wish I had taken more pictures, but I was so hungry I forgot! read more
