My husband found the location by gut feel.  A friend of ours recommended this place and someone else.  We’re not sure if they were referring to the same and one Korean restaurant.  My mobile phone conked out so we didn’t have the contact details nor can I contact my friend.  HB’s source was only thru online so it was out too!

What we did?  We just drove around and around until we hit the spot!  X marks the spot!  Truly, my HB has this instinct!  After we ate here, I emailed or somehow I got the contact of my friend again and it was the same Korean resto she told us about….so here we are….

As always, Korean appetizer food fair….You can avail of this FREE appetizer set if and only if you have ordered ONE dish when dining alone or TWO dishes when dining for two and so on.  Sounds valid isn’t it?  These appeizers though weren’t a hit with the kids because almost dish was with chili.

Available Appetizers (subject to change): Toque, Raddish, Kimchi, Fish Cake, Cucumber, Sayote, Lettuce and Garlic

Spare Ribs Meat BBQ (P500). No marination at all…why do I think that it has?  I do remember when we dined in a Korean restaurant in LA with a friend and my BIL, I do remember that the beef we also cooked in front of us was with marination…or was I just sooo forgetful?  (Pls enlighten me my friend, MQ-S!  Do you still remember?)…So it was a big disaapointment to me when I got one piece of the meat and it tasted bland.  It was good with the lettuce and sauce but eating it alone is not recommended…

Kaibizzim - Beef Rib Stew (P350).  This reminded me of our college days ~ Henry’s at the UM…but this was most “litid” and the sauce was diluted with too much water.  Looked pale too!  The taste would be great if they didn’t put too much water in it.  Chef was not in the kitchen perhaps and they had to serve it ASAP.

Still, in search for a good korea restaurant….a Korean acquaintance told me that Manna is still not the authentic Korean restaurant….but where can we find one?  You know any restaurant we don’t?  Please do share!
