We have to acknowledge the fact that I am NEVER looking for “fine dining” or “formal” atmosphere. I’m looking for a good/fun vibe and great food. The two problems here are the fact that the ONLY lights in the entire space were a few (very few) little track lights all the way up on that very high ceiling. Completely inadequate lighting. So way down below where I was sitting, with my food, it was almost too dark to see that food. They need more lights.
Second problem: there was no ambient music or anything at all. You could have heard a pin drop in that place. Instead of hearing a pin drop what I had to hear were my fellow diners chewing and slurping etc etc. I’m not even kidding. That’s now quiet the spot was. I REALLY dislike ever hearing anyone chew anything. So that was kind of terrible. And a very easy thing to fix. They should fix it.
I started with Steamed Tofu. It’s a simple dish. But delicious! And I really like it. Then Kimchi Pajun which was nearly meal sized all on its own. I think it would have been really good, but it got over cooked. Like borderline burnt. VERY close to the burnt border…
I also ordered Kim Bap with Tofu. Kim Bap is, basically, Korean sushi and this is the equivalent of Futomaki in Japanese Sushi. You can get it with Ham or with Tofu (I don’t eat ham). The Kim Bap was EXCELLENT. Delicious, big and expertly rolled so that each piece held together as I ate it. Highly Recommend.
I then got Soon dubu Chigae, which is a spicy, silken tofu soup/stew with seafood. This was pretty good. Not great. Flavor was good. Could have been spicier. Seafood component was very “meh.” I feel like Manna House isn’t doing much with seafood on their menu. It’s difficult to offer just a few seafood items and then have great quality seafood.
My meal came with two Banchan which were good: Kimchi and potatoes in sweet syrup. Banchan are maybe the best thing about eating Korean food.
Rice was also good. Although not as good as I’ve had at other Korean spots.
I’d definitely get the Kim Bap again. And the Pajun. I’m assuming the overcooking was not how it usually goes. But not sure I’d dine in again in the dark silence…True Score 3.5 But Since there are no .5s here I’m rounding up because I get the feeling Covid was not easy here…
We are frequent Korean food eaters and this was definitely worth it for the area. The portion initially is deceiving and you wonder if it will be enough but it’s perfect.
Vibe is nice inside and staff were nice!
It’s an unpretentious family business (like many in Korea, it transported me over there)
We ordered pajeon, gimbap, kimchi jjigae and jaeyok kimchi bokum
It was flavorful and the portions were great!
As banchan we got radish and kimchi. It was tasty! To the ultimate Korean experience, I would love to have some others.
It was great to finish with Terra beer as well!
The waiter and the chef were super kind! I can’t wait to come back!
After trying other Korean options in the area, I would say this is the closest to what I tried when living for two years in Korea. Thanks!!
