great customer service, workers are super nice. food portion is great. chefs are also super nice. highly recommend!

I've been coming here for years now. I sadly moved fork riverside but each time I'm in the area and craving Korean food. I come here. I love that there is plenty of indoor and outside seating!! I will say the restroom is a bit sketchy looking tho but it doesn't impact how I view the restaurant since it's a restroom shared among other restaurants. I have never had any bad service and the ppl here have been so nice and welcoming so no complaints. Here is stuff I've ordered in so far form here and that's I loved Manna tteoboki 1000/10 it has a little of rice cake, noddles, egg, dumplings, and fish cake!! Will say it taste sweet but the spice will get to u Bulgogi plate 9/10 still good but can't compare to others Will say I will update as I try but we shall see :))

Since graduated and I still absolutely adore Manna Grill, I wish I found it sooner! Would have made the nights studying worth it, but I'm here now! Kind of hidden in UV but well worth it! Food is great and generously portioned! Inside is comfy and spacious, owners are great too!

The small family style place seems like a popular hangout with the local college students. Prices are fair due to the large amount of food you get with it. I highly recommend trying the kimchi fried rice as that was probably my favorite dish out of the selection my friends and I chose from. The service was warm and friendly.

If I could give this place Ten Billion Stars I would. Not even all the stars in the cosmos would be sufficient. Have you seen Kung-Fu Panda? Ya'member how the secret ingredient to the best food was LOVE? They put LOVE into the food here. That's all you need to know, but read on if you want. My wife and I have been coming here once or twice a year since the Pandemic. And even back then they ran the place like epic professionals. I still remember the dude who took our order those years ago, because he was reading an incredible-looking copy of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War." Frankly, when I see food workers sharpening their minds on texts like that, it says a lot of very robustly positive things about the environment in which the food is made; a disciplined one. We've been getting chicken and pork katsu curry here for a while. But one time recently we accidentally just ordered a chicken katsu plate. With... that sauce. That delicious, Heavenly sauce from on high. And they know exactly how to coat it JUST RIGHT, to perfectly compliment the crunchiness of the batter. The balance of those textures, of both sweetness and acidity in the sauce is transcendental. The salad is the most beautiful way I've ever consumed cabbage. It's shredded into Angel Hair, and given dressing in layers, so that you always have just the right amount to maintain the crunch of vegetables to cleanse the oils from the katsu off your palate. I usually skip on salads. I eat all of this one though. And the rice. If you don't have brilliant rice then your ground floor is shaky. And here? It's wonderful. I like to eat with chopsticks, and this is very chopstick-friendly rice that sticks and clumps up nicely. Exactly the way I like it. Never tastes bland, but prepared and cooked perfectly to simply TASTE LIKE RICE. So many places cannot accomplish this simple task. Without proper rice, the rest of the meal would be meaningless. But every single last grain has been made perfectly for years on end now. And most recently we tried a tteokbokki cup. We'd never had one before at all. We wanted to try some new Korean foods, and figured this place is the best Korean joint in town so why not try it here? And OH... what wonderous delights of spice! Of CREAMINESS and long, O' so long pulls of stringy mozz' clinging so desperately to those rice and fish cakes... dripping with a thick, rich and sumptuous sauce... to die for when you dump some on your rice. Took my wife to celebrate finishing her finals. I needed a place to serve us a GOOD meal. Not just to fill our stomachs, but to satisfy our hearts and souls as well, and to soothe her weary mind. The LOVE with which all food is made here has constantly satisfied both me and my wife's hearts, bodies, minds and souls. It is some of the best food I have ever had in nearly 40 years of living in Riverside. Spend your money here. Keep this place in business for the next 200 years minimum. Tell your friends.

This is my second time at Manna and it's legit. The first time I swung by I got the tteokbokki and it was on point. Everyone that works here is super friendly. Today, I went for the naengmyeon with bulgogi anr the cold noodles changed the game. It's tough to find authentic spots in Riverside but this is the K-food spot

Went here for a late lunch. You could dine in or take it to go. I like how the food was in to go containers. The Korean dishes offered all looked delicious. I had the Bibimbap and fried chicken wings. I was so happy that the bibimbap had king trumpet mushrooms in it. The wings were spicy, but not too spicy. I also tasted the bulgogi kimbap roll. It was delicious as well. There were a few people working and we had to wait a little for our food, but everything came out nice and hot. There's a tv that we watched music videos on.

Food was good and portion sizing is pretty good for the value. A friend had the cold noodles and noted that it is not fully cooked, but good flavor. Another friend had the the curry katsu plate and noted that the curry tasted a bit off, but liked the taste of the katsu (well seasoned). Bibimbap was good for the size but besides the gochujang, there is little flavor. Gimbap was loaded and had a good taste to it -- bulgogi was not too over seasoned and a slight bit sweet. Had a good crunch too from the radish. No service as it is one of those restaurants where you order and get your food to a table. Ambiance is interesting as they are playing K-Pop MV on the TV with the occasionally Christmas special song. Not particularly wowed by the food as it does not feel "hot out of the kitchen" but the prices are reasonable for the portion.

This is a small local Korean restaurant. The owner (cashier), he is so caring and friendly to everyone. I think this is a family run restaurant. Ambiance is alright nothing crazy, simple design. Spicy rice cake is a bit too sweet. Bibimbap is okay. Kimbap is good! There are not many Korean restaurants like this in Riverside. Therefore, this is good for its price.
