Reviews
That being said. I was absolutely blown away. This felt like the warmest of hugs from your Korean halmeoni adjacent. I know the current owner took over from the previous owners who were Korean and had owned the restaurant for decades and while I never got to try the restaurant under their ownership I am confident he is doing their legacy justice.
The inside is adorable, quaint and clean with the decor itself being charming and thoughtful. Instead of wallpaper pictures of customers over several decades cover the walls floor to ceiling. The menu is the epitome of mostly Korean home cooking and some more familiar take out Chinese dishes. Be patient as it appears to be pretty much run by two people– one at the counter and one at the kitchen but the wait is worth it.
Yaki mandu – made from frozen but honestly, tasty
Gimbap – the classic flavors that you look for are all there. This one has bulgogi in it and the danmuji is quite prominent. If you’re looking for this to taste like sushi– it will not taste like sushi. Korean gimbap has its only unique flavor and you’ll definitely pick up more sesame flavoring.
Kimchi – I fully believe kimchi is a personal taste. There are over 100 kinds and in every Korean home it will taste different. This was for me personally a 7/10. A hair on the salty side for me but the fermentation and spice on it was nice. Extremely generous amount for take out.
The mains is where Manna Wok truly shined for me. Everything was so unbelievably authentic, I would never have believed that a non Korean born individual was responsible for making the food if I didn’t see it with my own eyes. The care and attention to detail was unmatched.
Pork bulgogi – (hot) my husband enjoyed it. This unassuming dish was soft, savory, and sweet and the vegetables were tender but not mushy. Would not have changed a thing. Perfectly authentic and served with rice.
Japchae – seasoned perfectly in my opinion. It was a little more garlic heavy than other recipes I’ve had before but honestly the more garlic the merrier for my personal taste. Noodles had the perfect familiar japchae chewy texture. If you know, you know.
Tteokbokki – (very hot) Now listen. This was extremely good, you can find this basically on the shelves now in any Asian grocery store but there’s just something about this dish made from scratch. Very hot was pretty much just normal spice for the average Korean. The sauce was thick and savory with a hint of sweet. And also it came with beef? That’s actually not traditional so I felt like I was committing robbery by just automatically getting it with a protein so score!
Kimchi fried rice – first off, holy portions. It automatically comes with a fried egg so I added a fried egg on accident so woops guess I know that for next time. It had beef also and I appreciated how the kimchi itself was left in pieces that you could see. Made it pleasing to the eye and gave a nice texture. There was a nice glisten to the rice but it was not greasy and the kimchi gave the rice a subtle tangy flavor. Just so so good and stick to your ribs savory.
There was not one miss amongst the mains. Portions were in my opinion overly generous for the prices which feel very much pre pandemic, pre inflation, pre before Korean food became trendy to me. I am just floored this place does not have a constant line out the door. For my fellow Koreans, this place is legit. For those looking to try authentic Korean food but don’t know where to begin, look no further.
Their menu offers a wide selection of traditional Korean dishes, carefully prepared using fresh and top-quality ingredients. Whether you prefer classic favorites like bibimbap and kimchi or want to try something new, Manna Wok has something to satisfy every taste.
The friendly staff adds to the pleasant experience, treating customers like family and providing attentive service throughout your visit.
In conclusion, Manna Wok’s long-standing legacy and delicious cuisine make it a must-visit spot for those who love Korean food, inviting you to indulge in the taste of tradition with every bite.
I’ve never had a fried rice dish that I didn’t want to put soy sauce on. Kody knows how to make that dish.
