Manna - Paris 15e Arrondissement

Continue to discover corean restaurants in Paris another one very good to return without any doubt. I recomend

Dear all, being half French and half Korean, and very closed to my Asian culture therefore food is essential, so I can ensure you that this restaurant respects culinary traditions of Korea. You ll be able to try different dishes, meaty, noodles, soups and others. Thank you for being next to my house in my Paris.

I ate here recently, and if I was rating only the food, I'd give it somewhere between 3 and 4 points. The € 21 menu is a good deal, and comes with a small starter soup, a salady concoction, several dumplings, rice, and six condiments (kimchi, green beans, etc. . My meat was grilled slices of pork. The waitress warned me it was very spicy, but to my taste buds it was merely mildly warm. And copious; but also a bit greasy. My bottle of Hite beer, despite being imported from Korea, tasted cold and fresh. HOWEVER, and this is a big however, the music the restaurant played throughout my meal was some gawdawful electro-pop. I told the manager (in French that I thought the music choice was more suitable for dancing (and that was being generous than for relaxed dining, but he just looked at me as if I had arrived from another planet. Fine. I won't be a return customer.

We had dinner a couple of times at Manna this Summer. I had a wonderful Paris vacation with my wife and two teenagers. We are familiar with Korean food, however, they do not have an English menu. Staff were very friendly and helpful, with some French and some English we were able to pick good choices. We had delicious meals and a very good time. My two teenagers enjoyed as well.

Simple looking front-room style restaurant. English is a barely spoken 3rd language, but staff were understanding and willing to help. Polenta pancakes were an ideal appetiser followed by Bibimbap served in a sizzling bowl and with accompaniments. Slightly pricey, but an enjoyable simple meal.
