Service was quick (around 10 minutes), prices were reasonable, owners spoke Korean, had vegetarian options. We ordered the cold as well as the spicy nangmyeun dishes. The spicy nangmyeun had more broth than I am accustomed to but it was still good. Both dishes were vegetarian with a radish based broth. Noodles were chewy. Cold noodles had frozen broth chunks to keep it cool without diluting the flavor! My grandmothers both approved this establishment.

Had the chicken katsu curry plate and spicy korean cold noodles! I love everything; the place was so cutely decorated and kept clean. The spicy Korean cold noodles were bouncy spicy and sweet paired with the crunch of cucumbers and radish. Would eat it everyday if I could, especially with such a great price 💜

Got the $8 tteokbokki cup and it didn’t even have fish cake in it. Super small container, definitely not worth 8 dollars. Fishcake Kimbap was okay, pretty good size for the price, but the taste was mediocre. Bulgogi plate was okay as well, meat could use more flavor, but the cabbage that came on the side was delicious. Love that cabbage.

They are awesome👍👍👍 Bulgogi is soooo much better than what my family used to have in Seoul or LA. I’m sure they have a secret recipe in Bulgogi.Nangmyeon, kimbop are a bit saulty for me. The employee is so kind and helpful😃The photos look red ‘cause they’re taken under red parasol.

(Please excuse my messy photos, I was halfway eating through it when I took this)Everything here was delicious, I definitely recommend trying out if youre craving some Korean food or trying out for the first time, I really enjoyed the cold noodles soup and the glass noodles dishes, plus I recommend the korean Peach soda, it help balance out the savory taste of the food, would definitely come back for more 😋😀

Edit - 11/22/2023Place is still an amazing korean food place for a bite to eat. Spicy bulgogi (chicken/pork) are extremely delicious. My go to is still curry katsu chicken with rice. The kimbap is also great to grab for a snack as well.Best place for quick Korean food at an aggressively great price. Always a great place to just relax and eat food. The korean music videos are a nice touch to watch as well.

Great place to have authentic Korean food. I truly enjoyed their Tteukbokki and kimbop, which are my soul food. If you are looking for authentic Korean food, try this place. Right now, they only have take-out order options but I heard they will open their dining soon. The service was prompt and nice. If it is lunch or dinner hours, I would recommend calling your orders first.

The food is very good quality. I got the bulgogi beef bowl and a side of kimchi and the beef was devine! Like savory pieces of candy. Its near UCR and they will validate parking.

What a fantastic restaurant to get a quick fix in a few different tastes. The Katsu Curry plate is wonderful and the spicy chicken wings here are my favorite in all the areas The owner is incredibly nice and even recommended other restaurants in the area that I might like to try and didn’t even think twice to include extras in my bag, like chopsticks, forks, napkins, soy sauce. Typically you have to ask.

I loved the super thin cabbage salad they serve with the meal. They put a dressing on it that’s super good! The Bulgogi plate was really tasty as well! The owner is SO nice. The hot sauce is homemade too. Really good!! Five stars because the service was impeccable and the food was fresh and tasty.

Good food for the price. Only take out was available but there were tables and seats outside. Friendly staffs. Wish they make kimchi as optional side menu for customers. Will definitely go back.

After trying bibimbap in New York City, I figured I’d get some where I live since I loved it at that spot and it was disappointing to say the least. I haven’t tried anything else though so I don’t know if it’s a whole restaurant thing it just that one dish thing.

Review №29

2022-02-11 02:25:57

Absolutely delicious!!!!! You have to try the bibambap!!!!! The staff were so amazing!!!!!!And the little boy that helped his father with my parking validation were both so nice!!!!! Wonderful people, and the bibambap and bulgogi plate are both 10 out of 10!!!!! Some of the best food in Riverside!!!! Not joking! The bulgogi plate is in the picture! But man that bibambap was still my favorite!!!!! 6 out of 5 stars!!!!

The flavor or the tteokbokki reminds me of home. The spicy cold noodles had great flavoring, but it was a bit on the salty side. I will order from here again!They also have excellent kimchi fried rice and their katsu plate is good too.

I cannot tell you enough good things about Manna. The portions are massive, the flavors are balanced and among all the other things I could praise them on, the flavors, sizes, friendliness and smiles are CONSISTENT. The owner has been there 95% of the times Ive been and is an absolute pleasure to speak to. It feels like youre in his home, sitting at his table and eating food he prepared for you as a member of the family. The whole staff smiles at you when look them in the eyes and you can tell the dynamic is fluid and cohesive. Every single dish in the menu is worth eating and every one that Ive had has been full of flavor and you can tell the people making it are professionals. Look, Im not Korean and I dont claim to be. But this is the closest thing to my mothers home cooking (even though Im from Mississippi and just a white guy) that Ive had in California. When I go in that restaurant, all my stresses go away and all of my worries melt and I just enjoy life for the little time I have there. I love this restaurant and as long as its doors are open, I will be a patron.

Limited menu but the food is really good. We don’t have much options when it comes to Korean food around the UCR campus but fortunately what we have is good. I ordered chicken bulgogi and tteokbokki. The bulgogi was really good but the tteokbokki was so spicy. I had to wash it to eat it but that seems like a “me problem” so they still get 5 stars

Delicious fresh Korean food at really good prices. I had chicken katsu curry with noodles and my girlfriend had beef bugogi which wed never heard of. Both were beautifully cooked. The beef was very tender and the chicken crispy and succulent. The manager and staff were welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended!

Where do I begin? First and foremost. All their plate dishes are very sweet. They use way too much sugar on their dishes. I have tried bulgogi plate, spicy pork, and squid or octopus plate even their curry plate. Thinking that hopefully this time they will get it right but NO.. All the dishes are way too sweet. If youre a diabetic avoid this place its really bad for you. Whoever is making the food in the kitchen doesnt know how to cook in my opinion. Im Korean so I know how korean food should taste. Ive been to many different korean restaurants all over United States from California to New York. So take it from me. This restaurant isnt all that great hence the 2 star rating. Im sure there are other korean restaurants that offers way better food and options for the similar price range in the area. I will never order from this place again.

I cannot express how lucky and satisfied we are to have this place. I had to organize a relatively large order and Mike was beyond superb at helping me decide on the food and quantity. Everyone LOVED the food and the sweet family running this place is so welcoming. Overall, amazing food at a great price with the best customer service. Thank you Manna Grill and Mike!

I went with some friends to try out the restaurant. Drove an hour for it. And it was worth the drive for sure. Great friendly staff. And the food was amazing and reasonably priced. Cant wait to go back again. Open one in the high desert!

2020-08-04 01:33:57

The 넹면 doesnt come with horse radish and vinegar on the side on postmate (this should be a default). The 비빔넹면 is too sweet and the noodle lacks flavor. Radish needs to be fermented longer to get the stronger flavor. Its unfortunate that this place is the only place that makes this. Have no other options but to make it myself. Instead of a one star, I have to give it a 2 star for effort.

Not what I expected had to throw my kimbap roll out and most of my other plates that had cabbage in it because it was super bitter I couldnt eat it. Kind of sad also a waste only 45 bucks in the garbage. Wont get it again
