Good place, friendly and knowledgeable stuff. Short rib bibimbap is very popular choice here and we understand why, really tasty, fresh, served nicely. Definitely will come back for it again. Prices are good, atmosphere as well. read more

Ordered the Short Rib Bowl, the miso soup add on, and the cucumber kimchi. The short rib is beef so that's good and you get the option of white or brown rice. I did a call in order and didn't specify so they gave white rice. I think I was kind of expecting the riblets but maybe I was given steak instead. No welcome or anything walking in but the people seemed ok. I paid and left. Came home and warmed again since I was about 20min out. If there is a next time I will try the bulgogi setup. This was my first Korean food experience in the area so I don't have much to compare it to. Food tasted fresh but I was expecting it to look similar to the picture. Note: I did not have fried kimchi or an egg in my bowl (just wasn't put in I suppose or maybe it's supposed to be invisible). So idk how I feel about trying again. Posting updated menus but the kimchi was $6 and not 4.69 anymore so my total was $25. read more

Unfortunately I wasn't really impressed with what I got, I appreciate the amount of food given but - it didn't wow me. I like bulgogi but for some reason it just didn't hit - I was hoping for traditions cucumber kimchi but the side I got was sweet. I don't know - maybe it's just me when I want Authentic Korean food that's what I hope for. read more

Food is really good. Only issue i have with them is the hours of operation and sometimes they lie to you saying they are closed @ 730 on a Saturday but on the website it's 8pm. read more

The food was great! I got a bowl and my husband got a box. The flavor was on point and the servings were huge. I wish there was banchan aside from what was "built-in" with the meal, but otherwise, very happy. read more

I ordered through DoorDash and was honestly so impressed. The dumpling soup and beef bulgogi box were both delicious and the portions were generous enough for two people. Everything had great flavor and tasted super fresh. Even though it was delivery, everything arrived hot and just as good as if I were dining in. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to try more from the menu. Definitely adding this spot to my regular rotation! read more

Came here for lunch and got the beef bulgogi box. This came with rice, beef bulgogi, cucumbers, 2 fried carrots in a tempura batter, 2 pieces of fried dumplings, egg (scrambled) and 1 cooked broccoli piece. I thought the bulgogi was good and the portion size with the rice was great. I also really enjoyed the cucumbers it came with. I love fried dumplings but the dumplings here were not my favorite. I could also do without the carrot and the 1 piece of broccoli. There is some seating to enjoy the food there or take it to go. If you come in you can order at the register and wait or I've seen people come in and pick up their order they ordered ahead. A few parking spots right outside the entrance was convenient. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. read more

Have loved running in here for lunch. There are definite hit & misses- the chicken cup bap is FIRE. The bulgogi is kinda off. But service is excellent, they're super fast, very nice, and package meals as safely as they can. I appreciate the drink coolers vs a fountain. They used to have a huge fridge of sides (kimchi, daikon, etc) but got rid of them. I thought the fridge meat needed repair but they told me they're not bringing the sides back. This is a huge loss and I hope they reconsider. But definitely recommend giving them a try! read more

What a cute spot and concept! I loved the rice bowls and the amount of food that comes with your order. Their small menu surprisingly has great options to choose from. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying other menu items! read more

A lazy misinterpreted excuse of Korean food...I already arrived with low expectations for it being fast food, but the deliverables dove well beneath it. . Ordered beef bulgogi bibimbap, tofu stew, and mandoo. Hard to mess up reheated store bought mandoo but the other 2 orders were underwhelming, bland, and missed the concept entirely of what those meals are supposed to be. . I usually never bother with or take the time dragging a shop, but there's no way this place is a 4... read more

A solid little strip mall bimbop/buloggi place near Ft Meade. I found it on yelp and it did not disappoint. I tried the beef amd egg bimbop, it was very good, great sauce with it. My only beef was the with the beef, it was a bit closer to being hamburger than the strips of beef. But we'll made and tasty. Be advised seating is limited. read more

K Manna Rice Factory - Beef and egg bimbop - Korean Near Me - Odenton, Maryland

Underwhelmed on all fronts. Walked in and, as the only customer present, was immediately greeted. Ordered spicy pork and the beef bulgogi. Not a fan of egg and overcooked veggies so I opted out of those. Two small groups of 3 / 5 and a couple walked in after me and placed their order. I could tell they were regulars by the way they ordered. There was a bit of a wait and I noticed the two groups were served before I was...interesting. Finally my food was up and it smelled divine so back home I go to dig in. Unboxing revealed two containers of tempura veggies with dipping sauce. Yay! I guess my order was delayed because they were trying to figure out how to sneak some veggies in that bag! lol or maybe the tempura side comes with and I just didn't notice it on the menu. Either way...this was a miss for me. The bulgogi was fatty and VERY light on the flavor / bulgogi sauce. Meanwhile the pork was nice cuts but where is the spice?!?! I know I said no veggies but I didn't mean no gochujang or spicy peppers in the SPICY pork. Im not even a big fan of spicy dishes - admittedly a wimp when it comes to heat - but when I order spicy food I expect spicy and this was lacking spice from an American standard by Korean dish standards this was about as spicy as water. I see this place has fans so I wish them luck. I'll pass tho. read more

**Came during 2022 Covid era! Ok food. Very affordable tho. Nice staff. Helped quickly! Finally came with a friend! In pictures it looks so good but in reality it's okay. Def more of a cool young fast food vibe (esp bc of the cupbap). Bc of Covid, there's no dine in. The restaurant smells like mothballs LOL. There's also hella side dishes available for you to buy separately. Also an interesting menu. More about the food, not sure if it's bc it's only take out, but it really gives me fast food/ what I'd eat in college bc I'm a broke boy vibes LOL. ESPECIALLY the cupbap, which was the most unique thing on the menu to me. I'll talk more about this below! -- cupbap: I got the short rib cupbap. Not a lot of meat at all. :((( Rice AND noodles which tasted like Panda Express Lo mein. Smothered in sauce, but you really only taste the spicy Mayo that's actually not spicy at all. LOL This is probably why it reminds me of the random stuff I'd eat in college. It's like me mixing together all my leftovers into a bowl and adding some type of sauce. There's so much sauce, I ended up having to add in extra rice from the bibimbap to even if out. Wouldn't really recommend unfortunately :/ unless you like this type of stuff LOL. I did like the corn in it because I'm a sucker for corn. -- Bibimbap: It was okay. Very average! The egg was well cooked I guess LOL. I did like the cucumber ban Chan they provided. After thinking about it, I wasn't really expecting amazing food so I can't really say I was disappointed. The food was definitely eh read more

I was recently convince to come back and try the food at this location and I have to say that I was impressed. I wasn't really a big fan of this location when I came back in 2018. I believe I called it over priced lunch food' [Though, I did say the food was good!] that was akin to Sakura Express. [Maybe not the best comparison in hindsight, sorry!]. I'm glad to say that those days are gone! I'm not sure what the change was because in my review my complaint wasn't the taste of the food, but more so the price vs. the portion. That issue seems to have been adjusted, or some more dishes were added because the last 2 times I came I definitely had no complaints about portion sizes or prices... The short rib bibimbap was really good, and the spicy pork cup bap was something serious. I did add extra meat, but for the price I didn't mind the add on. With that being said i'm happy to say that I will definitely be returning for another round. I can now consider this place a must try, without hesitation. I'm really glad I came back to give this place another chance! read more

The spicy pork bulgogi box is absolutely delicious! My family also ordered the beef bulgogi with they also raved to be delicious. We could eat it everyday. The ambiance is cute, I've only ordered for take out. Service is great, I've never had issues with my orders. Love the refrigerated banchans and quick meals. Will definitely try the soups as the weather gets colder. read more

K Manna Rice Factory - Jeyuk (Spicy Pork) Bulgogi box. So good! - Korean Near Me - Odenton, Maryland

Yum! K Manna Rice Factory is a Korean restaurant that seems to serve food in a fairly quick fashion. The restaurant itself is pretty small and when I went, the tables were pretty much pushed into one corner with chairs turned over. Due to COVID, they were not doing dine-in on the day I visited. Honestly, I don't think I would've eaten inside prior to COVID because it's so small inside. I think it's more of a carryout spot anyway. I ordered the beef cupbap. It's basically a rice bowl topped with kimchi, bulgogi beef, and some yummy sauce. When I placed my order, I was told that it would be a little longer wait for the beef. No problem! When I got home, I devoured my food. I'm not sure if I was starving or if I was really that hungry. I'll definitely return to try some other items. I follow them on social media and they are getting ready to add some new dishes to the menu including banchan (side dishes/appetizers). I'm looking forward to trying the kimchi fried rice and japchae. read more

K Manna Rice Factory - Beef Cup Bap - Korean Near Me - Odenton, Maryland

Super fast service. Food was ready in 10 minutes. Got take out. The bibimbap - 3 was underwhelming. I love Korean style eating and bibimbap usually should be really fresh and well balanced. Pork was better than the beef but both let us down a little. This was a 3 where just on my raw love of it a norm would be a 4. Fried dumplings - 2 not good, unless you really want dumplings pass on these. Beef cup - 4 this is a somewhat strange mix of items but it worked for me. Had a creamy teriyaki vibe but I wish it had something with some zip or spice to offset the creaminess. Our kids ate it really well. read more

Service was very fast. I ordered online & picked up within 15 minutes. They gave me spoon & napkin. It smelled good inside. Food was steaming when I opened it. read more

Underwhelming flavors, which was a disappointment because my Columbia experience was so good.

Yummy stuff here! It's nice to see korean food in a casual/quick bite setting instead of the traditional sit down dining experience. I got beef and egg bibimbap which was good, but nothing life changing. My friend got the short rib cupbap which looked really good and we also shared some kimbap. Honestly you'll probably get slightly better food for the same price from an Asian grocery store food court but that's assuming you have one near you. I liked this place and I'll probably try the cupbap next time I'm back. They have a lot of small dishes for sale inside, like Korean pancakes, seaweed salad, anchovies, spicy squid, all the panchan (Korean side dishes) you love! Location seems kind of odd and out of the way. They're currently only available for takeout. Staff wasn't super friendly but they weren't unfriendly. read more

Just like someone else said, it's like a fast food restaurant for Korean food. My husband got the beef bulgogi box ($16) and I got the spicy pork bibimbap ($13) and they were both delicious! It's a little pricey in my opinion but it's a lot of food and I had leftovers for another meal. They also do charge 50cents for to-go orders (plastic bag). They also have plenty of other options for food by the register if you want something quick. Only reason I don't give it a 5 star is because it's not the best Korean food I've had. read more

I used to think the Odenton asian food scene was lacking, but I've discovered my favorite dim sum and thai place within miles of each other here. With the reviews that K Manna has on Yelp, I was curious to see if I'd find a new Korean spot too. Their menu is limited to several hard-to-choose-from sections - their cup bap, bulgogi boxes and bibimbap, with a few extra entrees and sides. It was hard to decide what to order because they were all some variation of each other and all sounded so good! I ended up ordering several items to, you know, do a good and fair taste test (ahem: gluttony) for my first ever visit: a beef cup bap, pork cup bap, beef fried dumplings, and the dumpling soup. 1. The cup bap was unique and flavorful, combining both rice and noodles in one dish, err cup. Both the beef and pork were good, but the pork was spicy, so will probably order that next time. It is topped with a lot of special mayonnaise-esqe sauce, so if that's not your thing, I'd go with one of the other rice options. You can extra meat and miso soup for a few bucks extra. 2. Beef fried dumplings were good. I wish there was more filling, however. Super crispy exterior. 3. The dumpling soup was delicious. Very flavorful broth, the dumplings were large and meaty, and plenty of egg and scallion. I wouldn't say I found my all time favorite Korean eats here, but it is damn good for a fast casual spot in an sorta-odd location across from Ft Meade. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for them before - my family has gotten takeout a few times and I've enjoyed the food every time. So this won't be my usual "I just had this last night" review, but rather a composite. We always get different entrées to share, and so far I have had pork, chicken and beef bulgogi - all excellent, with lots of meat. I've had fried dumplings - yum! Tonkatsu, also very good... in fact, I have never had anything that wasn't good. The vegetables are always cooked perfectly, tender-crisp. I am not the one who goes to pick up our orders, but I'm told it's a smoothly functioning service even with COVID-19. read more

This spot has been in my bookmarks for awhile and we finally came to check it out. It's conveniently located near Ft. Mead. It's a tiny spot so the seating and parking can fill up fast. ORDER: Beef Bibimbap - Ground beef, egg, rice, carrots, bean sprouts and the hot sauce drizzling over the entree. It was ok. I didn't expect the beef to be ground beef. I did see other options for bulgogi beef but since this was the only bibimbap that had an egg I went with this. It had a lot of ground beef. If it was actually beef strips it would have been a lot better. Tonkatsu - Tonkatsu with rice, corn and salad. It was pretty good. It was topped with ketchup not the actual sauce that comes with the tonkatsu. Spicy Beef Bulgogi - Bulgogi beef with rice and what reminded me of fried bread fruit (we call it lemai on the islands). It was actually really good. read more

This is a hidden gem that needs more love. I haven't been here in years and so glad its consistent in flavors. If you're working in the area this is the go to spot for fast casual home cooked Korean food. Stopped by recently with some coworkers and we ordered the spam and egg bulgogi box, pork bap bowl, and the beef bulgolgi. Wow flavors are on point! I gobbled that spam up so quickly and the other meats were seasoned really well. Each bowl/ box comes with a side of veggies, kimchi, runny egg and rice. The staff cooks this place really quickly and keep the location clean. I tell my coworkers at this work site to drive out of the way because its that delicious. Do yourself a favor and eat here instead of driving back to the office. The runny egg, combination of crispy veggies and delicious meats will have you coming back! read more

Giving 2 stars because covid takeout. Ordered short ribs bibimbap and dumpling soup. Short rib had small portion of meat. Bland on taste for meat and mixed rice/vegetables even with spicy sauce and oil. The worst offense was my dumping soup had uncooked beef and I honestly couldn't trust the dumplings after that. (If beef wasn't cooked, wasn't sure if beef/pork dumplings would be cooked) Dumplings also looked like cheap, freezer dumplings or they were made with barely any filling. read more

Love the food, very tasty short ribs and a good katsu. Can't wait to try two of the things I bought on the side; egg pancakes and crab pancakes which I'll munch on for breakfast through the week. The platter price has increased so I'll likely get the bowls until price goes back down but flavor is on point. Protein sides in the fridge are very reasonably priced if you spread it out for snack or light meal with rice or other carb. Some of the veggies sides should be priced like $1-2 less in my opinion but good price for protein (meat, egg, and crab). read more

After playing the "What do you want to eat? Idk what do you want to eat? game", we decided on trying this place out. We place an order for pick up. I order the spicy chicken bulgogi box while my husband got the tonkatsu. I have to say, when they say spicy, they MEAN SPICY. If you enjoy spicy dishes, then you'd love this. It was a pretty big portion that came with white or brown rice, spicy vegetables and finished with vegetables tempura. My husband's box was pretty good too. He said the pork was delicious and he actually ate the little salad that came with it. The actual store was pretty tricky to find as it's tucked away, and parking was a bit difficult. Upon entering we notice it's clean but not very spacious, so we're glad we chose to do call ahead. We wish we had found and tried this place sooner. I'd consider it a hidden gem. read more

Okay it's mainly take out, but I sat at One of two Orange picnic tables. The place is clean and kitchen as well. The 4.5 stars with a bunch of reviews and tjen vegan or veggie or whole food plant based possibilities in Korean fare, intrigued me. I got a Vegan/vegetarian bibibap - with stir fried tofu & NO egg. With bean sprouts, radish, carrots, zucchini, romaine lettece, spinach brown rice. Well??? A friggin home run!!! The fried tofu was very perfectly cooked and seasoned. All of the ingredients were fresh and nicely prepared. Can't believe I am giving a take out spot I ate in at 5 stars. It was very very good.....in a plastic bowl - (smile) I have to stop typing because now I ditch3d the chop sticks and got a spoon --- not leaving a thing! Awesome job!! read more

Of course I wanted Korean food right after thanksgiving. A lot of the Korean restaurants were still closed after Thanksgiving but not this place. I was little hesitant to try this restaurant but, was I wrong. We ordered dumpling and rice cake soup and a beef cup bap. Both were so delicious, a lot of dumplings and the broth was amazing. The beef cup bap was a huge portion with plenty of beef, noodles, vegetables and the sauce. The people here are so polite and attentive to your needs. Definitely coming back to eat here or take out. read more

Super tasty Korean cuisine for a reasonable price! Ok, so the location is a little strange because if you don't have a general sense of where it is before you go you'll probably drive right past it. Ample parking once you get there, but weird location. Once you get inside the place is nice! There are picnic benches and plenty of seating. Menus are projected on tv screens with pictures of the food and there's a cool mural on the largest wall. Now the best part: the FOOD! I love Korean cuisine. period. This place DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Sooo tasty! And the servings are huge! I got the chicken bulgogi and it came in a cute brown takeout box with rice, broccoli (why the broccoli was cold I don't know...), pickled veggies, and tempura veggies. Mine was not depicted as spicy but it definitely had a kick for those that have never gotten it. Definitely WILL BE RETURNING!!! read more

Visiting Maryland from Hawaii. Korean cuisine is not unified here, but this place was the closest to what I can get back home that is decent. The service was quick and courteous! Restaurant nice and clean. Black and yellow. Getting here, you blink you will miss it. I enjoyed my Galbi. It came with vegetable tempura, a lot of fresh warm white rice, cucumber kimchee, and 2 of 3 egg cakes. I think I got cheated one because the menu showed three I only got two egg cake which was thin slice. A lot of rice! The beef required some work... it's not fall off bone, it's not supposed to be, but it was tender and served hot with the sauce the flavor is addicting. The meat portions at first didn't seem a lot for $15.99, but I couldn't finish. So now I got leftovers. For $3 more you can get extra meat. I'd comeback just specifically for this and maybe extra meat and tempura, get two meals in one. I have not tried anything else, but my friend tried the bi bim bap bulgogi and... we don't understand why the lettuce and why cold. why not served hot in a hot bowl. It's not a salad and certainly not a poke bowl. She warned me after the fact to not commit on the hot sauce... it's hot. Luckily, I didn't have any, but it was interesting to watch her fan her mouth... universal sign for hot stuff. read more

WOO JESUS! These folks ain't shy with the pepper. Bring your Mylanta if you ain't familiar with Korean food. So good though. Only drawbacks is they are a little rude and the place smells like a public restroom inside. Other than that, decent little spot for a quick something to eat. read more

New food offering in Odenton. The entrance is actually on the side and not facing the street. A few parking spots, cumbersome street parking and capable of seating dine in customers. On Tuesday's they offer $5 specials for their military appreciation promotion. The food didn't wow me but it wasn't awful either. Having spent time in Korea it spoils you to actual Korean food and makes you critical of Korean "fast food". The short rib on my bowl was cut up into small pieces and I originally thought it'd be small strips on the bone. Moderate in flavor, good portion size but I think it was an earnest effort. read more

Ending 2016 with a spot that I've had bookmarked since they've opened. K Manna definitely helped me end Yelp 2016 on a delicious and fulfilling note! I typically have to travel out of the way to get some decent Korean food, but am so glad that I can get it in my own backyard now! It's a little tricky to spot if you're not familiar with the area, but it's right on 175 across from Ft. Meade. There is also a brown and orange K Manna flag by the road entrance. The #9 Chicken Bulgogi box contains a generous portion of spicy marinated chicken, vegetables, pickled spicy cucumber, tempura vegetable and either white or brown rice (YASSS for the brown!). The fried dumplings were also crispy, hot, and hit the spot. Can't wait to return to K Manna in 2017! read more

Agree with the commends that this is more like fast food with a Korean flare. I just got the bowl - simple rice, lettuce, corn, and bulgogi meat.

Great little hole in the wall. read more
