    Kimchi
    Natalie S.

    I came here with a friend who is Korean American. I asked him to order the food since the only Korean food I've had before was Korean barbecue and I wanted to try other dishes. We started off with a pancake that is made with some gimchi and onions. I liked it but it's very deep fried. My friend had a noodle dish that is made with black bean paste. I tried it and liked it very much. I had a dish of sweet potato noodles with beef and mushrooms. There was not a lot of beef in it there, there were a lot of mushrooms. The shiitake mushrooms were delicious. My friend asked for some different Korean teas but unfortunately the restaurant did not have them. The service was good.

    Pork bibimbap

    We celebrated my birthday here with a lunch on Friday. Both my son and daughter were adopted from Korea. So, we all have been to Korea and eat Korean food often. We are knowledgeable about the cuisine. The place is clean and the server was polite and friendly. We ordered a chicken bibimbap, a pork bibimbap, a chicken jap chae, bulgogi, and a scallion pancake appetizer for four people. The meal started out with the usual dish of accompaniments. Ours had kimchi cabbage, pickled zucchini, pickled potatoes, and some fish slices. We asked for more, and the server gladly brought us another tray. We loved the crispy yet doughy pancake triangles. My 84-year-old mom loved the jap chae but the rest of us thought the noodles were too gooey (a bit overdone). Bulgogi is one of our favorite Korean dishes. This one, too, was overdone. We actually had a few crispy pieces of beef in the pile. The bibimbaps were OK but the sauce was a bit thick. The food was decent but just average. The prices were not cheap, and yet not outrageous, but an advertised online lunch menu was not available. Our food for four with tax and tip was $87.

    The order in question consists of 2 portions of pork shumai and 2 servings of kimchi jigae (kimchi pork stew) between my father and me. The waiter approached us and informed us that there were no pork shumai. We then compromised and decided on the 2 servings of kimchi jigae. In Korea, moms back home wash kimchi to make it palatable for little kids due to the spiciness. The two kimchi jigaes presented to us tasted like the washed kimchi, and the red broth was VERY watered down. I have come to the conclusion that Korean restaurants in Florida are very out of touch with how Korean food is supposed to be prepared. My mom is Korean and spent the first half of my life in Songtan, Kyonggido, Korea. Trust me when I tell you, in my opinion, the food here needs improvement

    This was a great experience. The food was delicious. If you don't want to wait at Cabose, come here. The service was simple and respectful. Food is deliciously flavorful and selections are plenty. Will definitely repeat! Wish I took more photos but was busy enjoying the food.

    Hell Hot Ramen

    They stopped making Ramen. That was a big sell for me. Probably won't go back . Something has changed here but not for the better so far. I hope things change in the future.

    I was in the mood to try something new so I took a chance at Manna. I had tried a few of their dumplings and they were all good. My favorite was the cilantro shrimp dumplings. The lychee tea was delicious too. The server was kind and respectful. This place is a hidden gem. I enjoyed my experience.

    galbi tang
    Kevina L.

    i love coming here when i'm looking for authentic korean comfort food and homey vibes. it beats going to the more chaotic neighboring restaurants and having to smell like korean bbq after you leave. while you can still order kbbq meats here, you won't have to deal with the grilling and smoking if you're not up for it. there are so many delicious korean staple dishes, which this place offers. however, it's also a perfect place to try something new. i got a big bowl of galbi tang (short rib soup) for the first time, and it was one of the most comforting dishes i've ever had. it felt like a nice warm hug. the broth was light, so it actually felt healthy. the fall-off-the-bone short rib that came with it was spectacular. paired with a bowl of rice, this soup is chef's kiss. we also got the japchae noodles, which was a little light on the beef, but still tasted amazing. our order came with four banchan (side dishes): kimchi, veggies, egg pancake, and fish cake. our waiter was quick to bring us seconds when we devoured the first round. overall a very pleasant experience here!

    If you want that authentic Korean vibe ... come here!!! The food is amazing and the service is white glove!

    Spicy pork
    Nathan D.

    Really good and really fresh! Korean is my fav and this place definitely makes the grade. Spicy pork was a little less saucy and oily then some of the places around it.. so if ur trying to eat less heavy food then its a good place. And the banchan was awesome.. super freash and tasked great

    Thai Donuts
    Gladys R.

    This was a cute place. Very quiet and cozy when we came. Very clean. The waiter was very nice and very attentive. We have been craving Korean friend chicken and can't find a place so we came here. Great choice! Wings were delicious we got sweet options. Got the Bao buns beef also sooo delicious and the Udon bowl with beef. That's was a bit spicy but sooo good. Then we finish with Thai donuts! So delicious!!! They had lychee soju with was very smooth! Definitely going back!

    Bibimbap
    Adrianna U.

    Who knew there was a little Koreatown here in SoFlo!! this place is in the same plaza with like three other korean restaurants and a korean grocery store, but decided to go to Manna for my korean fix. Overall, super quality, authentic, and service was great. For food, we ordered the hot stone bibimbap with beef, Japchae (glass noodles) and pork bulgogi, and I would probably order all three again if I came back. Make sure to add plenty of red sauce to the bibimbap for that extra spice. The glass noodles were stir fried with vegetables and beef and in a slight sweet soy sesame sauce- super tasty. The glass noodles are made from sweet potato and I love their chewy texture! Pork bulgogi was also super flavorful in a spicy sweet sauce. I believe all meals come with ban chan, which is all the side dishes- include kimchi! And if you run out you can always ask for extra. The interior is clean and it was a little empty when we went so our food came out super quick.

    I can't begin to explain how ridiculously magnificent this restaurant is. From the staff to the food itself. From the moment you walk in, you're immediately seated by this wonderful, attentive, and kind man (I never got his name unfortunately). When it comes to the food, I'm drooling just thinking about it. Do not HESITATE to come this restaurant. My pictures of the food don't do them justice, simply because we've already ate half of food and took the pictures after. Please come and support this restaurant, I promise you won't regret it. You'll see me DEVOURING my Bibimbap in the pictures. A big thank you to waiter who attended me and my friends!

The love and light…read morethat lives in Chef Juliette truly trickles down through her staff and shows up in every detail of the service. No matter when I visit, it's always a warm, hospitable experience--honestly reminiscent of The Ritz-Carlton. Surrounding businesses could learn a great deal from them. I first met Chef Juliette during a visit from DC in September 2025. My best friend introduced us, and immediately I felt the love of a mother and the passion of a seasoned chef who genuinely loves what she does. And that passion? It translates directly through the food. A few weeks ago, I was back in town visiting again, and the energy was exactly the same. We stopped by to pick up a catering order for an event, and Chef Juliette sent us off with pork chop sandwiches so big--and so good--I barely touched the catering food that day (thank goodness for to-go boxes and a freezer). I was able to bring back BBQ chicken, ribs, and the "Turn It Up Rice"--which is out of this world. Perfectly cooked rice layered with crisp vegetables, shrimp, chicken, and brisket... smoky, flavorful, and such a creative spin on fried rice. Then, the day after, Chef invited us back for a VIP experience--and when I say the love is real, y'all... it's real! She prepared a savory seafood étouffée enriched with shrimp and lobster, served over creamy polenta--an elevated take on traditional shrimp and grits. Paired with fresh-baked buttermilk biscuits, sausage from her brother in Georgia, and perfectly crispy bacon... everything was divine. The kind of meal that evokes emotion--the kind that makes you feel genuinely cared for. The restaurant itself feels cozy and welcoming--rich with history and personality. Every time I visit, I discover a new layer of her story which is told along the walls and decor. Chef Juliette is truly something special. If you're ever in the Pompano or Fort Lauderdale area, do yourself a favor and visit Lickie Stickie! And don't leave without trying the baked beans and black-eyed peas--Chef puts okra in them, and I don't want them any other way ever again. Outstanding.

The pulled pork is juicy and doesn't have the random globs of fat in it that some other places leave in. The sauces are super flavorful (my go-to is a 50-50 mix of the original and spicy). The Mac N Cheese has a nice heat and tastes fantastic. And the cornbread is the perfect desert. I'd take it over many cakes I've had. I've also been here numerous times and the quality is always the same. They never miss! The service is also always fantastic, and they're always quick to bring out your order if you dine in.

We usually share a meal, but my boyfriend and I were hungry, so we ordered two plates and split everything. Portions wound up being right we ate everything no leftovers. We had the BBQ rib plate with chips and coleslaw, plus the brisket mac and cheese with tots. Each meal came with a slice of cornbread. I do wish they had fountain sodas available, even a nonbrand option would be nice. They only offered canned sodas for purchase, so we each grabbed a Coke. Fortunately, they did provide cups of ice. We waited to open our drinks to conserve them for the meal, and I'm glad we did because everything had a bit of a kick to it. The flavors were excellent, but if you're dining with older parents like mine or younger kids, it may be a little too spicy for their tastes. The cornbread was probably the best part of the meal. I treated mine like dessert and saved it for last. The chips were a bit over seasoned but still good. The coleslaw was very unique, and I ate the entire cup. My boyfriend said the mac and cheese was also great, though I'm allergic to dairy so I couldn't try it myself. He especially enjoyed their Carolina BBQ sauce. One small suggestion: I wish ketchup had been available for the tots. I didn't see any on the sauce station. A line started to form while we were eating, which is always a good sign. The most important thing to note, however, is that although the restaurant is located in a small plaza, the parking lot is paid parking, and the signs are very easy to miss because they're partially hidden by trees. Unless you happen to park directly in front of one, you'd have no way of knowing. Thankfully, another customer asked us, "You paid the meter, right?" after noticing a police officer walking the lot and issuing ticket after ticket. Because of that warning, I was able to run back outside and pay before we got cited. I think it would be in Smoke's best interest to simply ask dine in customers at the counter, "Did you pay the meter?" It would save a lot of people unnecessary hassle. We'll definitely be back. I'd love to try the pulled pork, and according to the menu, they only serve the burnt ends (the reason we originally came in)on Fridays. Looks like we'll be making a return trip on a Friday.

I decided to go with the brisket sandwich and the cheddar jalapeno cornbread. The food came out quickly and looked amazing. Before I added any of their many sauces, I tried the brisket by itself. The meat wasn't over seasoned, and was full of smoky goodness. And it was extremely tender, but not falling apart. Even if you didn't have teeth, you would still have enjoyed it. And the sandwich was packed full of brisket. The cornbread was crumbly and light, with a little kick from the jalapenos. I really enjoyed the experience, the staff, and the food. I'll be back when I have a little more time, so I can try even more things on the menu
