10/10 fav take out spot in Little Korea. Kimbap is off the hook. As well is the shrimp Korean sushi.

Walked by and entered by chance and it was the best kimbab in Toronto! Quaint space with friendly service and reasonable price with lots of quantity. Love it!

I normally don’t leave any reviews but I just had to! Their gimbobs were exactly what you would get in Korea. I must say they are the most authentic gimbobs I've tried in Toronto, not to mention affordable prices too!

I didn’t expect this good. I tried many kimbaps around this area but definitely it’s the best. $9 for jaeyukk kimbap. Look at the photo. It’s FILLED 🤝 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! 김밥 진짜 이 근방에서 최고 ! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

The kimbaps are truly incredible. They are packed with fillings and flavors. Definitely a hidden gem! They accept cash only, but there is also a e-transfer option. There are limited seating inside as the spot is quite tiny. They also sell banchans (side dishes) for reasonable prices!

★★★★★

Only had gimbap from here but the gimbaps are amazing. They're heavily filled with fillings unlike many grocery store gimbaps that only have 3 atoms of ground beef per bite. They look amazing and taste delicious and you really feel like you're getting your moneys worth because beef gimbap has plenty of beef you can taste. I think even in Korea this level of quality gimbap would be very popular.

New ownership took over in January 2024. Women-run, the owner used to operate Korea House down the street! Got the squid dupbap, a spicy squid stir-fry with onion and cabbage. Lots of squid and generous portion of rice. It was very tasty, would go back to try more dishes. She also makes a variety of side dishes in house (available in a side fridge). The space is small and narrow, but does have seating for dine-in. Walked by and noticed how amazing it smelled, then had to give it a try!

November 21, 2024

I had to cancel all my orders because the owner lady only asked for cash and no receipts after all the wait. At least inform in advance to not waste time.

November 21, 2024

I don t understand why The Manna restaurant has to pay taxes when they only accept cash payments.

Quick and easy experience. The owner was really nice and the price was very reasonable. Everything was prepackaged. Got a couple different kinds of gimbap, japchae, spicy cucumber, kimchi and deep fried seaweed and noodles. Everything was great, and for $30 for a dinner for two this is definitely somewhere I will be grabbing takeout from in the future. Vegetarian options: You could make your entre meal vegetarian if you wanted to without any difficulty. Just get the standard gimbap instead of bulgogi or pork. I am 99% sure the japchae did not have any beef in it. And they had a lot of different kimchi options to choose from. Easy.

New owners and the food rocks. I have a lot of nostalgia for this spot - a go to after doctors appointments. Best kimbap in the area hands down. Mostly a takeout place

I had the beef kimbap and it was delicious! Had to do a quick take out so didn t get a chance to dine in. There s a couple of chairs to sit if you dine in, but the place is small. The service is super quick and food is priced well. Will definitely be going back to try some other dishes!

Don t sleep on this hidden gem! It s the perfect inexpensive restaurant just minutes from the park and subway. Staff is passionate and the food is unmatched.

December 21, 2023

Be aware for anyone plan to order takeout or delivery! Never seen a restaurant package tteok bokki like this! The soup was spilled all over the plastic bag. Also, this is not the tuna kimpab that I used to have. There is no tuna flavour and not really visible as well (looks like 3% tuna and 97% mayo). They should rename to mayo kimbap as it is misleading. Their bulgogi kimbap was also disappointing. Bulgogi filling is not consistent. I think they topped up the meat filling on pieces that was showing the cross section ( ). Other parts of the kimbap didn t have much meat

Im not sure since when Tteokbokki consists of 10% rice cake and 90% fish cake. I ordered two portion and both had similar amount of fish cake. Also, kimbab only seemed to have the bulgogi and tuna on some part of kimbab. Such a huge disappointment

They open early so when youre hungover you can get your teokkboki earlyyyyy! Also, food was flavourful and yummy! To the person who complained about the ratio of rice cakes to fishcakes ..ignore them! The ratio is perfect and the portions are good!! :)

December 21, 2020

I ordered tuna kimbap and tteokbokki. To be honest, I was worried that there would be too much tuna in the kimbap... but there was no tuna and only a strangely flavored sauce. I think its tuna and chili kimbap because it only makes you sigh. The tteokbokki is so different from the typical snack bar tteokbokki that I was expecting, so I dont have anything to add.

I went into the restaurant with a couple of friends not knowing where I was going and Slightly disoriented. I had thought I was entering into another mediocre Asian restaurant with what I had observed on the fake brick printed walls in the restaurants Internal design. I had ordered the tuna and beef Kimbop. Well that was one kimbop I tell ya folks. Little did I know I was enlightened with life. I had recently have been suffering from neglect and bullying from friends who took me to this restaurant, and I kid you not my strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, hostility and anger had Miraculously disappeared from my Subconscious mind. The texture, the quantity, the colours, the quality the smell and care that was put into this dish was impeccable. I highly recommend this place to folks looking for a quick bite and especially and life changing experience from a Asian Cuisine.

Delicious homecooked Korean food at an affordable price. It s a one-woman show in this store, but the auntie is so efficient. I usually am not a huge fan of kimbap but hers is really tasty and filling. It s really convenient getting here, it s located just outside Christie station!

Be aware if u order a delivery here - chef doesn t seem to know how to pack properly.. portion was also small when I ordered through UberEats. Not much rice cake in the topoki, rather more fish cakes in there... however food was good. Just wished that there were more food & better packing for the price I paid.

A hidden gem in Toronto! Stepping in, it feels like I walked right into a Korean mothers kitchen (she was even wearing slippers as she cooked). Very tiny space with limited seating, but the vibe is perfect. I loved how she served me my kimbap and then started on making the bibimbap as I was eating - that egg sizzle! She makes everything to order fresh. Even more impressive is that its a one woman show - she told me her sister comes to help occasionally but its basically just her. The food is delicious and completely worth the price. Youll come for the food and stay for the atmosphere.

This is the only place that sells kimbap around Christy, so I had no choice but to go there. Every time I go, there are so many things I want to say about the service attitude of the owner, but I just pass it over, but this time, I feel like its not really the case, so Im leaving a post. Its common for people to not respond when you say hello when you enter the store. When I visited before, an acquaintance of the owner came by and the two of them had a conversation, so I was just choosing a menu. Then, an acquaintance of mine said that he had a customer, and then he asked me in a really bad tone what he would like to give me. But on this day, I was in a really bad mood, so I said in an irritated tone that I was still stable, and then I looked at the menu again and there was a mirror in the store. He was glaring at me through that mirror. I was about to say something on the spot, but I was so dumbfounded that I just left the menu. But that doesnt mean the food is really delicious, and how can tteokbokki be ruined?? I bought it with my own money, but I didnt feel the need to go to such lengths to be treated this way.

Ive been excited to try the gimbap from this place for a while and it definitely lived up to my expectations! Its a pretty small shop so you can miss it if youre not looking for it. There is only a row of stools for sitting, so I can imagine this place is where people usually do take-outs or eat and go. The portion was generous, and the meat was tender and flavourful. I would definitely come back here again :)

4.5- Ordered from Ubereats, so I cannot comment on the restaurant itself, though I gather it is a small family business. I really enjoyed the rice cakes and fish ball broth. Some of the gimbap unfortunately fell apart quite a bit in the delivery process so it came somewhat mashed up. I didn t really love the cold noodles either. Otherwise, we enjoyed the meal - it was different and quite homey tasting.
