Manna Noodle House

I came here 40 minutes before they closed and they welcomed me with open items. (I know that is typically frowned upon in the F&B industry). The employees were very nice and welcoming. They seemed like they were ready to field any questions about the menu but I already had my eyes set on their black bean noodles.I ordered the #1 Black Bean Noodles & Spicy Seafood Soup split dish and fried dumplings. The fried dumplings came out in a huge tray with about 10 dumplings. My favorite part were the small glass noodles inside. The black bean noodles were cooked well and had a nice bounce to it which paired nicely with the black bean sauce. The spicy seafood soup was my favorite however. It had a small kick to it and was packed with flavor.Overall, I would like to visit this place again.

HOUSTON, TX 77055 / KOREAN-CHINESE / FRI 11-17-23 / DINNER+The sweet and sour tangsuyuk was well-prepared.+Our gentleman waiter hustled and provided us great service.-They use the same prepackaged noodles for their black bean (Jjajangmyeon) noodles, spicy seafood (jjampong) noodle soup, and knife-cut (kalgooksoo) noodle soup.-The prices are pretty steep.-The interior looked like a train wreck. There was food dishes in the middle of a long table, random ingredients stored out in the open, kitchen gadgets all over the place, and random things just laying around.-The spicy stir-fried pork was pretty salty and not sure this entree is worth the price tag.-The restaurant definitely needs to be remodeled/updated.What we ordered:'1 Spicy Stir-fried Pork with Rice $17.99'1 Sweet and Sour Tangsuyuk $21.99'1 Jjajangmyeon $12.90Total: $67.00 post tax plus tip

Spicy seafood soup - (5/5) Amazing broth. The owner says it take her 3 days to cook it. It was extremely flavorful. Tteokbokki - (5/5) the owner told me she uses the spicy seafood soup broth to make the tteokbokki sauce. Makes sense considering this is the best tteobbokki I've had in Houston.The spice level was plenty for the average person. Jjajangmyeon - I haven't had this dish much so I wasn't sure what to rank it. It's good, but I really enjoyed the other two dishes a lot so this didn't shine as bright. Service was fast and the owner is nice. Portion sizes are good. I enjoyed talking to her before the lunch rush. Will def make the trip back for these dishes and others.

Very cozy vibe, but very delicious jjampong. One of the best in town! Even though there was only one server, food came out in timely manner. Jjajang Noodle was very good as well!

Came here for dinner and had friendly staff who asked to refill kimchi/water/tea promptly. Ordered the champon which had lots of seafood, delicious soup base, and great flavor with chewy noodles! Also got the spicy pork which came in a large size. Would highly recommend trying out this authentic Korean place!!

We love Sonna's food!! This place is a to go to if you want some authentic Korean food. Everything is freshly made to order.

The best jajangmyeon!! Service was excellent. The server was very fast, friendly and caring. We loved it. We felt like we were eating at home.

I happened to be the only one in the restaurant and got the chance to speak to the owner. She was super sweet and gave awesome recommendations. I ended up trying the Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup which was DELISH. The portion size was huge and I could barley finish half of it before having to pack up the rest. Since the dish came with a large portion of noodles, I just wish there was more seafood to balance it out.I believe they are closed on the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month. Maybe call ahead to check if you're planning to eat here on a Monday to be sure!

Small shop in a quiet shopping plaza near Bunker Hill. We came by on a Friday night. Interior is very quaint and definitely gives off mom and pop vibes. There were two tables, including us, and we were expecting them to be a bit busier at prime time. We ordered the tteobokki and the mixed noodle dish (JJM and spicy seafood noodles). It took around 20-25 minutes to get our food and it seemed like it was cooked to order. The spicy rice cakes were good; I haven't had the bigger rice cakes in a while. The sauce was slightly watery compared to most other places but the flavor was good. The noodles were a bit on the bland side. The JJM was slightly bland for me, I expected a bit more flavor but it's also my first time trying the Korean version. Overall, it was still better than the spicy seafood noodle. It's a bit watery and flavorless in my opinion compared to similar versions I've had in LA Koreatown. Overall, a bit let down compared to the other reviews!

Manna Noodle House offers a variety of Korean noodle dishes in the Koreatown of Houston. It is a small business ran by a really sweet couple, and they're always there when I visit. I have been there a few times and I love the food! I have gotten the spicy cold chewy noodles, the kalguksu, the dumplings, and the split of the jjampong and black bean noodles. My favorite dish from them is the spicy cold chewy noodles. It is super refreshing and very chewy. It comes with a bowl of soup, as well. I love it! The spicy noodles pair really well with their fried dumplings and kimchi. Their kimchi is one of the best I ever had! I absolutely love their kimchi and always ask for extra. I also like their jjampong; it is seasoned well. Their kalguksu and black bean noodles are okay and a bit on the blander side. All their portions are huge, and the prices are very reasonable. They are super nice and check up on you often. Overall, if you want a delicious Korean meal, this place is definitely a great place to stop by, especially for the spicy chewy noodles!
