Mana Modern Chinese was a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and inviting with warm tones that make the space feel comfortable right away. Service was prompt and attentive throughout the meal.
Every dish we tried had incredible flavor—especially the Crispy Chicken Dumplings, Chili Kissed Burrata, Pork Chop Fried Rice, and the Sha-rry Beef Udon. The biggest surprise of the night was the Egg Custard Carrot with Ice Cream, which was the sweet ending we didn’t realize we needed.
Overall, a fantastic meal with great flavors and a welcoming vibe. Definitely worth a visit!

MANA MODERN is one of a kind, like no other. Its uniqueness will take you by surprise. They serve delicious Chinese-style food with a modern twist, presented in a style reminiscent of a Michelin-starred restaurant.
Food: When typical Americans think about Chinese food, dishes like orange chicken, kung pao chicken, sichuan beef, shrimp fried rice, and beef noodles come to mind. Here at MANA’s, you can expect a diverse culinary experience featuring juicy duck served on curry, American-style ribs cooked in a sour and spicy sauce, Japanese katsu served with broccoli, unique flavored and tasty soup dumplings, sweets presented in realistic food shapes, and savory dishes that are to the soul.
Service: The team works seamlessly together—friendly, down-to-earth, yet professional and highly knowledgeable. It’s clear they take pride in making guests feel welcome and cared for.
Atmosphere: The vibe is bold, modern, and unmistakably infused with a Chinese essence that sets it apart from typical restaurants.
Value: For the quality of food and experience, the prices are excellent.
Parking: There’s plenty of street parking out front, but it can get crowded at times. Also, be mindful of the time limit.
Overall: MANA MODERN offers a dining experience that is unique, flavorful, and unforgettable.
Highly recommended by @WineDinenVacay.

Believe it or not, I have eaten here 10+ times! It’s just that good! The ambiance is perfect for a date night with a little light at the table to set the mood. Before coming to MANA, remember to stop by a store to grab a drink because they are BYOB!! The service is impeccable and all the servers are attentive and helpful when guiding us through the menu. (There are some pictures that I’m missing because we just wanted to dive straight in). Here are some dishes you MUST TRY!

Had a great meal and an even better experience at Mana – Modern Chinese. The standout of the evening was the Shiitake Bao — pillowy buns filled with perfectly seasoned shiitake mushrooms. I could easily eat a whole plate of these!
Next up was the Jade Harmony Fried Rice, a vibrant vegetarian dish wok-tossed with fresh mixed vegetables. It was flavorful, beautifully presented, and definitely another highlight.
For the main course, we shared the Clay Pot Braised Salmon — slow-braised in a soy-infused broth with ginger, scallions, Chinese broccoli, basil, and bell peppers. This dish was a favorite among my dinner companions, with the rich, aromatic broth complementing the salmon perfectly.
The only slight miss for me was the Forbidden Ribs. While the ribs themselves were tender and well-prepared, the sweet-sour balsamic soy glaze wasn’t quite to my taste — so that may just be personal preference so I don’t see as negative.
Overall, Mana delivers an elevated and creative take on modern Chinese cuisine. The service was top-notch, the staff attentive, and the atmosphere comfortable. I highly recommend visiting — and I’ll definitely be back!

Mana Modern Chinese in Northern Liberties delivered start to finish. Chris and Katherine ran the front-of-house with warm, dialed-in service – fast, friendly, and with spot-on recommendations. The Forbidden Ribs stole the show: tender, lacquered, deeply savory. The duck noodles were a close second with rich flavor and great texture. Don’t skip the matcha tiramisu; light, balanced, and not overly sweet. Prices are fair, portions satisfy, and the menu keeps evolving, which gives real reason to come back. If you want fantastic food, an authentic-feeling vibe, and a team that makes service look effortless, Mana is the move. Definitely will be back to try everything on the menu!

We went for dinner on Sunday night around 7. It was busy but not packed. The restaurant has a modern look, not overly fancy but nicely done. It’s a byob so remember that is you want wine or cocktails. We had the Red Ember Wantons, they were wonderful, great flavor and just a little bit spicy but not overwhelming. We added the shrimp spring rolls, they were average but served hot and fresh. We also enjoyed the Mala Spicy Pork Dumpling, they were nice and juicy with great flavor. After those items we had the very flavorful Black Truffle Mushroom Beef. It was served in a nice bit of broth with white rice on the side and we really enjoyed it. We finished with the Everyday Fried Rice, I found it a little extra salty, my boyfriend thought it was just as it says, everyday.
Overall the meal was very good. The service was fine. Order entered table side and about average of this type of restaurant in the area. Definitely worth a try.

Every aspect of my experience at this now spot was absolutely 5-star. The service was attentive from start to finish, the atmosphere was so relaxing yet stylish and modern, and the presentation of each dish was truly beautiful. Most importantly, the food was outstanding. Every bite was full of flavor and clearly made with care.
I had a particularly wonderful experience with our server, Julia, who went above and beyond to make the evening special.
This will surely become a regular spot for me, as I’ll need to try everything on the menu!

I’m not sure if going an hour before closing was the factor in this situation. But the overall experience wasn’t great
I ordered kung pao chicken, which came out cold and with very little chicken. It was mostly peppers and onions, which were undercooked and extra crunchy.
Then from 10pm until 10:20pm, I’m trying to grab a waiter to order tea. When the tea comes out it is ice cold. But it was in a kettle. And it didn’t seem like the tea even stepped because it was so cold.
The lotus bites and ember wontons were excellent though. The dining area was very nice and clean. I’m not sure I would come back here again.

This food was phenomenal. We ordered a little bit of everything off the menu gonna go back for that salmon though. The ribs were tender fall off the bone, the dumplings were full of soup the perfect amount of space. The star of the show was definitely the curry dock entrée. The right amount of spice full of flavor. We also got some oolong tea which was Good and fairly priced at four dollars. Will definitely go back and try one of every thing I didn’t get last time. It was priced very reasonably between two people ordering the amount of food that we did it was about $30 per person. The waitress was very pleasant.

While there are an abundance of new restaurants in and around NoLibs/Fishtown, Mana Modern Chinese is an excellent newcomer that brings a cuisine that has been missing from the mix. Mana, a BYOB, is located on 2nd between Brown and Fairmount on the edge of southern end Northern Liberties. The dining room is spacious, with tasteful decor and is a bit quieter than some other restaurants where there are more tables arranged closer together. Mana is named after that of the friendly, attentive owner who is often present and overseeing the dining room and kitchen and talking with diners.
While I only came upon Mana about 2 weeks ago, I’ve dined in the restaurant twice and ordered takeout once. The dishes are not traditional chinese, but a delicious combination of old and new. The Shrimp Youtiao, a dough stick with shrimp paste, honey, wasabi paste and sesame seeds was light and flavorful, as was the Chicken and Corn Shumai open-top dumpling. Loved the Sauteed String Beans, Crispy Walnut Shrimp, Everyday Fried Rice and more. It’s all well prepared and the portions are just right – I left entirely satisfied, not stuffed. The first picture of our plates gives you a pretty good idea just how much we enjoyed the meal. The deserts have been absolutely delicious. Thoroughly the egg custard carrot (pictured with ice cream) as well as the choco mousse.
The wait staff was terrific. The pace of the meal and the restaruant overall was leisurely, calm and not at all rushed. All in all, a great new restaurant that I be visiting regularly.
