I went to Manna House for the first and last time. I ordered Raman and what I received was something else entirely.Ramen is made with noodles, a meat, one or two ajitsuke tamago, seaweed and mushrooms. It comes in dozens of flavors. At Manna house you get mild or spicy. I asked for no mushrooms and was looked at like I was crazy. When I got home and opened the bag I knew why. This wasn’t Ramen. It was a mess of scrambled eggs with soggy, overcooked noodles. And the broth was already mixed in. Anyone who’s had Ramen knows the broth comes separate so the noodles don’t become mushy. There was no meat, no seaweed, no corn, no ajitsuke tamago. It was terrible. I threw it away.If you’re looking for authentic Ramen don’t come to Manna House.Pictures of what I received vs what Ramen really is supposed to look like.

We went to dinner a little before 7 on a Monday evening, and had the place to ourselves. I was in the company of my nephew and his wife, who is from South Korea. My own experience with Korean food is quite limited, but I'm enjoying their introducing me to a number of dishes in the last year or so. We shared an order of Kimchi Pajeon, a pancake reminiscent of a thin omelet and flavored with kimchi, the spicy fermented cabbage so frequently part of a Korean menu, accompanied by a soy-based dipping sauce. It was a bit overdone around the edges, but otherwise very good, and a sufficiently generous serving to share before our main course. Next I had Beef Bulgogi, marinated beef with scallions, and my nephew had Ohjinguh Bokkeum, squid with vegetables served in a (very) spicy sauce. His wife had a soup with noodles whose name I didn't catch, but which she pronounced authentic. The non-soup dishes were served with rice. We enjoyed our meal, and my nephew and his wife took home an order of Kimbap for his younger sister. I would recommend either of the dishes I named, with the understanding that the squid dish is quite spicy - the taste I had didn't leave me gulping water, but I was happy to have rice to go with it. The Bulgogi is a decidedly safer choice, and I look forward to being a bit more adventurous next time.Vegetarian options: Numerous dishes do not list meat as an ingredient, and several feature tofu as protein. However, I don't know if meat is the base for broth or if if utensils etc. are kept separate. I would advise an interested vegetarian to contact the restaurant. The full menu is available online, but doesn't specify.

I ordered the Bokkeum Bap with chicken and vegetables. There was MAYBE 3 small pieces of chicken (no bigger than a quarter) and a few specks of corn and peas. The rice was bland. Cost $15. I kept checking the bag looking for the rest of my meal.

The food is so good and filling, I love the atmosphere, and the service is top notch. The wait staff is kind and accommodating to the handy cap and child friendly.
Small spot but real food. Food better on site than by take out. Good vegetarian options. Kimchi dishes were the best. Sweet potato noodles fun and tasty.

when we went in everyone looked at us funny then we were told theres a 40 min wait when there was only one family and a couple in the restaurant feel like they don't have the best customer service in mind but up to you to decide if I'm wrong so be it but that's how my experience here was

Nicely prepared Korean food. The squash pancake is wonderful!

I Love Korean. Food. But it’s just not easy to find. Unless you’re looking for Hot Pot/BBQ. Which I’m not. I found Manna House on Yelp and finally made it for an early dinner. This is my kind of place in that it’s a small, independent, scrappy restaurant. There were only two people working when I ate at Manna House: one person cooking and a second person waiting tables. The place is in an interesting location in downtown Greenfield. Small space at the end of the block, kind of long and narrow. VERY high ceilings. Two big problems with the atmosphere that I must mention.We have to acknowledge the fact that I am NEVER looking for “fine dining” or “formal” atmosphere. I’m looking for a good/fun vibe and great food. The two problems here are the fact that the ONLY lights in the entire space were a few (very few) little track lights all the way up on that very high ceiling. Completely inadequate lighting. So way down below where I was sitting, with my food, it was almost too dark to see that food. They need more lights.Second problem: there was no ambient music or anything at all. You could have heard a pin drop in that place. Instead of hearing a pin drop what I had to hear were my fellow diners chewing and slurping etc etc. I’m not even kidding. That’s now quiet the spot was. I REALLY dislike ever hearing anyone chew anything. So that was kind of terrible. And a very easy thing to fix. They should fix it.I started with Steamed Tofu. It’s a simple dish. But delicious! And I really like it. Then Kimchi Pajun which was nearly meal sized all on its own. I think it would have been really good, but it got over cooked. Like borderline burnt. VERY close to the burnt border…I also ordered Kim Bap with Tofu. Kim Bap is, basically, Korean sushi and this is the equivalent of Futomaki in Japanese Sushi. You can get it with Ham or with Tofu (I don’t eat ham). The Kim Bap was EXCELLENT. Delicious, big and expertly rolled so that each piece held together as I ate it. Highly Recommend.I then got Soon dubu Chigae, which is a spicy, silken tofu soup/stew with seafood. This was pretty good. Not great. Flavor was good. Could have been spicier. Seafood component was very “meh.” I feel like Manna House isn’t doing much with seafood on their menu. It’s difficult to offer just a few seafood items and then have great quality seafood.My meal came with two Banchan which were good: Kimchi and potatoes in sweet syrup. Banchan are maybe the best thing about eating Korean food.Rice was also good. Although not as good as I’ve had at other Korean spots.I’d definitely get the Kim Bap again. And the Pajun. I’m assuming the overcooking was not how it usually goes. But not sure I’d dine in again in the dark silence…True Score 3.5 But Since there are no .5s here I’m rounding up because I get the feeling Covid was not easy here…
