Great Korean pancake. Their kimchi isn't my absolute favourite, but the kimchi chigae featured bacon instead of shredded or minced pork and the result was much more flavourful than I was used to. It's a very unassuming place in terms of decor, but you won't be disappointed.

I was taken here by a friend who loves Korean. I was hesitant at first, based on a competing website's dismal reviews of this place, but he insisted. By the time we got there, I was completely starving and would have eaten my leather gloves if the meeting time was any later.
The first thing that strikes you is the dingy decor - full carpeting on the floors, low ceilings, and dim lighting. Cheap Korean knick-knacks are nailed to the wall. There's no music or ambience to speak of, just this shitty ethnic-hall vibe going on.
We sit down, and the first rumor about this place (lousy, lazy service) is immediately dispelled. A young woman takes our orders as soon as we sit and brings us a small sampling of kimchi and some shredded sweet vegetable. Some boiled potato pieces come too, and they're a bit sweet - damn good. Then the fried beef dumplings arrive - I could have eaten 100 of them, they were delicious. Finally, teriyaki beef on one of those sizzling iron skillets. Delicious, albeit not that large of a portion.
The bill was shockingly expensive ($26 a person, tip excluded) considering we shared an entree and had one meal each in what amounts to a mom and pop corner Korean resto. Although the food is excellent, you can get a similar variation down the street at any of the million Chinese places in the Concordia ghetto, at $10 a dish, and probably way more filling. Would have been 4 stars if the price was a bit cheaper. -

This was the first Korean restaurant I ever visited, I was a young and naive university student who thought this was the best restaurant ever. I still think its a great restaurant, however I know have eaten at other Korean restaurants only to sadly find out out that Manna is average at best.
Now that you have a the back story you understand why manna holds a special place in my heart. Although their food may not be the best, it is a excellent place for poor students and cheap eaters alike to enjoy some decent Korean food.
