Manna Noodle House

When we came in, there wasn’t anyone at the front. We sat ourselves down and waiting for someone to help us. The server came out and gave us menus. We got the number 1 which had both the spicy seafood noodles and the black bean noodles. I was not disappointed by either. The seafood noodle soup was very flavorful and had a good amount of seafood. The portions were good and the noodles were definitely handmade in the restaurant. Very pleasant experience.

I work in the neighborhood and this is my frequent go-to for comfort Korean food. It's a comfortable homey diner with solid homey food. I've tried several of their dishes from the spicy squid and rice, the mixed veggie noodles, and the jjajangmyeon black bean noodles. Each dish is enjoyable. The noodles are chewy with an extra bite. The sauces are well made. There's just love and pride cooked into these traditional dishes and feels homemade. The owner is a boss lady and is very friendly and welcoming. I always enjoy my visits here. Dishes are made to order so you may want to call in ahead of time for pickups. This is comfort food for me, perks me up on a workday or anytime, and a neighborhood gem.

Not a place for a cozy date, nor, as posted below, is the owner going to be a Michelin level hostess… this is reminiscent of old school Korean 분식집s where kids stop by on their way home from school for quick fast food. I was told by a Houston native to stop in here for 2 things only: their fresh, hand cut 짜장면 and/or 쫄면. Only 4 stars because it’s not an aesthetically pleasing place, nor is the bathroom in an accessible location. But there’s plenty of parking outside and it’s good for your basic 분식. Stick to the noodle options: #1,2,3,17,19,20 (see pics of menu)

Everything I've had here is delicious. It is a small, quiet restaurant, so it can be a little awkward. I think it would help if they played music, but that's a minor issue. Besides that, I love this place. I get the number 1, which is half spicy seafood noodle and half black bean noodle (best of both worlds!) The dumplings and spicy fried chicken are also delicious. The portions are also very large; I was really full after my meal. I hope this place gets more recognition, they deserve it!
