Manna Restaurant

The owner is super friendly, the staff are also very attentive and helpful! The BBQ tables can sometimes be a little too small if you're eating with a larger group of people which can be a little annoying but I would still rate this place 5 stars. Loved the food each time! Highly recommend the tofu & seafood stew, the chicken wings and the bbq of course! 💕

This is the best Korean fried chicken I've had the chance to try, and the best Korean food in general tbh. I've tried to find places in London that could match it but have been unsuccessful so far. It's absolutely worth a 1.5 hour train each way to come to Southampton just for this restaurant. It's a 16 min walk from the train station. It can be quite busy so I'd suggest reserving a table on their website. The chicken is juicy on the inside and so crunchy on the outside despite being slathered in sauce. The sauce itself is amazing; it's sticky, savoury and sweet, and spicy if you want it to be. I've tried soy garlic, honey garlic and peanut butter and they were all incredible. Other recommendations would be the japchae, jjajangmyeon, gimmari, beansprout salad, kimchi and the tteobokki (or rabokki if you want it to be more filling)! The BBQ is great too, about what you'd expect. It's not the main event so there's only four meats but still worth a try. Service is fantastic. Our server made sure that a modified dish for my vegetarian friend had no fish cakes in it. He changed the BBQ grill paper without us asking and as soon as our water jug was empty, he brought us a new one before I even realised myself. They're happy to give recommendations and accommodate requests when they can. Cannot sing their praises enough, do yourself a favour and check it out if you're in the area!

The best fried chicken I’ve ever had! The Yang Nyeom wings were so so good. Perfectly crispy on the outside, succulent chicken, coated in delicious sauce, and very hot & fresh too. The Bibimbap was so tasty and hot. We also had LA Galbi Ribs to cook on the table BBQ which were really nice. Service was great & friendly. I will definitely be back!
