    Budaejjigae. Very good!!!
    Jeanna L.

    Manna is Korean comfort food at its best. It is comfortable and homey inside, and service was very friendly. I was surprised the kalguksu had homemade noodles in it and portions were generous with consistent side dish refills. We're going to add this restaurant to our list of regular rotations!

    Manna is comfort food at its peak. My bf and I found this restaurant when we were exploring the burbs and it left us happy all day long. Service: - Service was super quick and all the aunties were so sweet. They were really attentive throughout the entire time that we were there. - We really really loved the side dishes and we were so nervous to ask for more but they gave us extra because they saw how much we liked it. And as starving college students, that means the whole world. Food: - We got their Gamjatang (Spicy Pork Bone Soup) for both of us and honestly, the serving was more than enough. We didn't expect to both feel full but there was so much meat in combination with the veggies and rice and we were both beyond satisfied. - Broth was really rich and there was such a deep flavor with every bite. We drank the entire thing until there was nothing left. - Side dishes were not just sides in this meal. I loved that there was such a large variety of options that were offered. Our favorites were the pickled seaweeds (I swear its the best that I have ever had) and the Kimchi radish. Ambiance: - This spot is tucked away in the suburbs and it feels just like that. The interior is designed as if you were in your grandmother's home. While we were there, we saw a group of dads, uncles, and grandpas just gathering to have a meal. And it was just so heartwarming to see and this spot is the perfect spot for family and friends gathering. I wish I lived closer because I would definitely be a regular.

    ChungMoo Gimbab.

    This is the first time that i had this special Gimbab in America! Squid in the middle is very yummy. Sweet, sour, spicy all at once! So happy!!

    I could decide what to get so we had to try them all!

    This cute little spot is hiding behind a gigantic Chinese restaurant. My friend mentioned this spot to me and we decided to give it a try over the weekend. The menu had plenty of options including multiple ways to cook Saba (mackerel). They had multiple soups and stews along with the usual bulgogi. I wanted to try everything but I ended up settling for the octopus, grilled mackerel, bulgogi, tofu stew and steamed dumpling. Everything was delicious! The service was good and they constantly stopped by to check on us. I was even more pleased to find out that even though we ordered all of that, the check ended up being only $92 for 3 people including tip! Such a deal for some legit Korean food.

    Omg what a gem! Their food was like phenomenal home cooked meals. Small place with whole hearted freshly prepped meals. Im definitely going back very very soon to try other items on the menu!

    Bibimbap, mandu and gamjatang.

    This place is legit! For starters, my partner and I received a tasty variety of banchan, my favorite was the fish cake. We were also given some hot barley tea to drink. We don't live near the area but the bibimbap and mandu were so delicious that it's so worth the 40min drive here. Also, the staff were so kind and attentive I felt like I was part of the family. Don't skip this place! It's so amazing y'all!!

    I feel like I got ripped off , I paid 16 dollars for this? You got to be kidding me This is the last time i will ever waste my money here, I know I could have made it a lot tastier and it would have costed less There was only two pieces of legs and it had an odor which was not pleasant Needless to say I threw it away

    Good was really good! Octopus was pretty spicy but good. Three dishes cost around 70, a bit pricy

    As others have described, this is a homey Korean restaurant that's not too big with slightly outdated decor and somewhat compact seating. It's somewhat difficult to find behind Empire Szechwan, with little in terms of signage and parking that almost doesn't seem to belong to the restaurant. Service is alright, I wish the table had been checked on a little more often, but it wasn't too bad. The food is a mixed experience for me. The prices are low and the variety is good, but I didn't think it was anything special compared to the wide variety of Korean restaurants available nearby. The cooking is definitely on the healthier side, but reminds me more of elevated home cooking more than restaurant style food. I didn't get the same level of sophistication or flavor as I can get from other local options. The soondubu was spicy with plenty of tofu, but doesn't have the same depth of flavor as SGD. The bibimbop was very light, but I prefer versions from Hakuya or Golden Durebak more. The gal bi tang lacked tenderness in the short rib, though the broth was quite flavorful from the onions and radish. The seol lung tang was very bland, there was a light creaminess from the ox bones but otherwise all the other elements hardly made an impact on the flavor. The banchan overall was fairly good -- with the fruit salad and fish cakes being the standout items for me. Overall, an alright choice if you're looking for low prices and large portions and are specifically seeking soups, noodles, and porridge. Good if you're trying to eat healthier but not my first choice personally.

    Food is really delicious. They have Great service too. Kids friendly. I will definitely come back.

    While I was in a group of 5 these were the dishes I tried…read more Bulgogi hotpot 4 of 5: flavor was okay, but overly sweet and there was just not enough for the amount of the purchase for me. c/Corn cheese 3 of 5: It is what it is and arguably was the best dish cause I knew what to expect and it met that. However, the price was a bit much for this I'd say. Beef tartar: 3 of 5 As there was nothing to special to it. Wouldn't get it a second time. I'd say the trip was disappointing for our party of 5 and what we got didn't match the quality of other gopchang restaurants in LA. For me who did not eat intestines I'd say it's a 3 of 5 place, but I'd say the value for the intestines based on what my party ate was more of a 2 of 5 as it was mostly grease that overwhelmed everything with no meaningful way to reduce it. Service was a good 4 of 5, but not as attentive at times.

    There aren't many gopchang restaurants, so I was excited to try Gopchang Story with my friends. The…read morerestaurant was relatively new when I visited. It's very clean and spacious inside. For the 5 of us, we ordered the double portion of large intestines, beef tartar, and the bulgogi hotpot. The presentation of food initially was great. I've been to gopchang restaurants in Koreatown in Los Angeles and in Korea. I have not been to one that cooks gopchang in a grill with no outlet for oil drainage. For something greatly oily, it felt uncomfortable seeing it cook in an abundance of its own oil. The restaurant's lackluster solution to all of this oil was to dunk in large pieces of bread to soak it up. This not only looked very unappetizing but was not a successful solution. Additionally, letting the gopchang cook in its own oil, left the gopchang to be "fried" crisp and hard. The bulgogi hotpot had a good amount of meat and vegetables, but was way too sweet. They gave a small bowl of chive salad to a group of 5 of us to share, which we were each able to get very small portions of. They charge extra if you want more chive salad. Overall, a very disappointing experience, could not recommend.

The redecorating and ambience was modern and sleek, with fully operational and clean water features. Grills were gas-operated, one grills there own meat items here. I really liked the natural-stone mini-subway style tiles on the walls. Like a lot of Korean places I have seen, the seats had minimal padding. I think this would be a great place for a date if you're in the area, a prize in an unassuming strip mall anchored by an auto parts store. Food was great, they happily and generously provided more banchan and also gave us complimentary bowls of soy paste soup that was practically jumping out of the bowl. As civilised as I tried to be, using my chopsticks and the cooking tongs correctly, I still felt like I completely stuffed my face like at a trough '^_^ it was all so good. Maybe to accommodate the neighborhood, the banchan was not nearly as spicy as we expected, so that might be great for someone trying Korean for the first time. Some might balk at the prices of some items, such as $24.99 for 1/2lb of raw meat, but we had a very enjoyable time and hope to come again.

    First I have to say the grandpa at this restaurant is super cute and funny!…read more The food was delicious. We started off with some non-marinated meat. We had Sang Gai Bi and the Heuk Sam Gyup Sal which was the pork belly. We loved them both. I personally like the beef over the pork but I would get both again. We also ordered a Yook Ke Jang, which was a spicy seasoned soup with shredded beef. It was not too salty or anything. It was just right! Lastly we ordered a marinated pork (forgot the name of it) and it was good, but I think we all preferred the non marinated meat better. Not sure if it's because we were already getting full at that time. Definitely recommend coming to this place. Charcoal bbq tastes so much better, although it can be a little harder to cook imo. ALL the small dishes were amazing...there isn't a small dish I didn't like. This is my new favorite kbbq spot!! This place is also super clean. The women's restroom was clean when I went as well and had everything you need...including spray for your clothes after bbq is done, which is a plus!

    They don't make'em like this much more. With charcoals, I mean…read more There's got to be extra steps to get permission for indoor charcoal cooking, so I get it. But meat just tastes better bbq'd on charcoal, y'na mean? It honestly had been a decade and a half since I went to a proper charcoal KBBQ, so this was super exciting for me. The place had an old facade that was reminiscent of the "old days" for me. Not to say it was run down or anything, but everything from the floorplan to the old tables with charcoal pit installed tables reminded me of the KBBQ era of the 90's and beyond. Loved it! My family went inside way past lunch hour, so the place had cleared out and owners seemed to have been having lunch. The two gentlemen eho greeted us gave out father and son energy, but I couldn't be sure. There was a life sized photo of the oldtimer in a marathon getup hanging on one side of the shop entrance, which he explained was taken a decade ago. I could tell he would have been around my father's age, but seemed super healthy. A pleasant man for sure! It may not necesaarily be a good thing for owners, but I love it when there aren't too many patrons around, because it means that I'll get all the attention I need from them, when I need. It was certainly the case here. They were super attentive when we needed something. To be fair, we knew exactly what we wanted, so it wasn't like we needed to call them every 5 minutes, but it certainly was easy to get their attention when I needed another bottle of beer. :-D My family of three order two servings of marinated galbi, contemplating on whether or not to order my wife's favorite pork belly. In the end, we were too full and were glad we stopped with only two servings. We'll just have to come back to try other meat later. This is ALWAYS a dilemma for my family. All three of us each have our favorites, but none of us can eat a whole serving. We usually end up going with my daughter's favorite every time, unless my wife and I are out by ourselves, which these days is not as often as I'd like. We'll just have to wait a couple more years for her to graduate.. Galbi (short ribs) was GREAT! Not much else to say about it, other than the fact that any meat will taste better when grilled on charcoal. With so many other KBBQs around town with more "hip" and "modern" atmosphere, I don't know how well New Seoul is doing these days, but I certainly hope they do enough business to continue to be around. More and more Korean restaurants are moving away from their traditional way of doing things in order to cater to American audiences. They may not be huge changes, but these subtle changes make people like me and my wife a bit sad because it eats away a little bit of our nostalgia each time we experience some. I hate to sound like an old man about it, but I guess it falls to people like myself to continue to support more of the traditional places like these over the young ones. Anyway, based on just the marinated galbi my family had, I must give them 5 stars!
