This mum and pop restaurant is a gem in town! We ordered 2 beef bibimbap to-go and had a big feast. The amount of food in each order will fill us up for 2 meals, not to mention one of the best prices compared to Korean restaurants in the area. My favorite is the shiitake mushrooms and the jammy fried egg on top! Beef is seasoned well and perfectly cooked. The sauce is flavorful and mildly spicy! Owner lady made sure we got some side dishes (banchan) home and they are delicious (Kimchi, bean sprouts and spicy cucumber).
Not to mention this restaurant is located next to a karaoke, French bakery, and Korean grocery store. We have no issue finding parking. We will definitely be back.
All of the food is excellent and authentic Korean especially the mackerel fish and soft tofu soup. The lady owner is so friendly and definitely will be back soon.
Good Korean food if you're wanting something closer to authentic Korean food. The staff are always really sweet when I come
I had the spare ribs, and they were delicious. Plenty of meat, very tender. My daughter had the beef bulgogi. My daughter enjoyed her meal as well. We will definitely be back. It's not amazing food, but it's definitely solid and enjoyable. It definitely has a strip mall atmosphere, so not fine dining. Just good food. Prices are middle of the road.
I just came to this place because my friends and I were nearby at karaoke and they offer bringing your own food. So I ordered from this restaurant and the moment you walk in it's like a mom and pop atmosphere. I ordered to go and only waited about 15 minutes for my food! The results were phenomenal!!! I ordered gyoza, egg rolls, and pork bulgogi. The gyoza was your typical gyoza flavor but still good. Now the egg rolls, my goodness the best egg rolls I've ever had and the sauce was great! The perfect crunchy texture and oily flavor with the fillings were just *chefs kiss.* As for the bulgogi it came with kimchi, seasoned cucumbers, and sweet potatoes. The whole dish was just amazing and so good!! As I waited I saw other people's orders and just wanted to try it all! I'm from Houston so this is a place I will definitely come back to for a dine-in experience and be sure to bring or recommend friends to!!
I felt like I was eating at my grandma’s house. The server was incredibly sweet and the food was solid. I had the kimchi pancake, jjajangmyeon and beef bulgogi. The bill came out to about $60 for all 3 dishes, including the tip.
If you want to eat real Korean foods?
Also wanna try many different small dishes?
This is the restaurant what you have to visit!
Honestly price is little bit high.
Almost same price to Korean restaurants in Los Angeles.
But.. yummy.
Don't expect about atmosphere.
But I will say it again.
The foods are real Korean foods.
And I strongly recommend the LA Galbi combo!
A humble Korean restaurant but with that homey atmosphere, the flavors are spot on and delicious. I usually avoid getting galbi but they were tender and flavorful. The cold noodles are a must!! And the banchan are all delicious. The dumplings were perfect and reminds me of living in Seoul. Will be back to try the other dishes.

Manna Korean has been my go-to Korean spot for years. I love that it’s simple, well-priced, and fast. Perfect for easy family dinner. We usually order more than we can eat so we have leftovers (Korean soups just get better and better as leftovers). In addition to the dishes in the photos, we also had Kimchi Jeon (kimchi pancake).
The soups are always boiling and steamy! Galbi is salty/sweet and the right amount of greasy. If you’re getting Bibimbap, opt for Dolsot and let it sit at the table for a while. The rice on the bottom will get nice a crispy (my favorite part). Then mix it all up with your metal spoon to make sure the crunchiest bits make it in, then top with gochujang.
Some reviews have made comments about the service. Manna is family-owned, run by women (at least at the front of house), and an eatery (not an upscale dining experience). In my own Asian culture (Chinese, not Korean) the expectation of restaurant staff is that they are direct, expedient, serve you the food you ordered, and are responsive if something isn’t right. The service at Manna has always been excellent relative to these expectations, in my opinion.
This was the best meal we had on a recent weekend trip to Austin. We went for a late lunch on a Monday and it was mostly empty. The server was kind and helpful, and our food came quickly. We shared the Galbi Jungsik (with tofu soup option). The beef was hot, tender, and full of flavor. The soup was probably the best part. One of the best tofu soups I've ever had, a perfect blend of flavor and fresh ingredients. I would definitely go back when in Austin again.
