Food is superb! Too many choices. But always make sure to come here earlier as there might be a long line waiting for a table. If you want suggestions, you can ask their friendly staff for the best seller foods they can offer! Its really a must and good for group

Mannaland is the experience of a humble, quiet Korean food without the fuss but all originality. The samgyupsal was a delight together with the bibimbap with very generous servings! The staff are very hospitable and made us felt like we were eating at home. Looking forward to getting back there!

Mannaland is one of my Top 5 restaurants in Dubai & it is now my favorite Korean restaurant. It's a small place in Al Hudaiba, a little bit hard to reach by commuting but very worth it.

The food is awesome! I have been here countless of times and brought different group of friends. The cooks never failed. All the staff are friendly and they have a homey ambiance which I love. You get to eat sitting down on the floor which is the Traditional Korean style.

The price is a little high for me, compared to other Korean restaurants in Dubai. I wish you guys would offer some loyalty discount soon.

Will definitely come back again. Thank you.

I would say this is very well balanced KOREAN restaurant in Dubai. Not too expensive but the food quality is very high. And it tastes really genuine. I ordered bulgogi, bibimpa and japche and all were super delicious. And what is more, the staff here are incredibly kind!

I got excited seeing this Korean Resto. It's been long since I last seen an authentic place for my korean food cravings. I ordered for Kimchi Jigae and it did not disappoint. I loved how the taste felt completely the same from my fave spots in Manila. I missed the side dishes and the ambiance of home. The service was quick. Facilities were clean. Bathroom was so cute. Price is good value for money because it's not something very easy to find. I wish to come back for more.

Really tasty Korean food! We usually go for the BBQ but we also like to try all kind of dishes from the menu.
The food is authentic and the pre-marinade BBQ steak is truly mouth-watering! You can choose to grill the steak yourself or have them do it in the kitchen.
Haven’t tried the one at The International City yet but this branch is a must -try!
It’s just too bad that they don’t have a delivery service.

If you're looking for authentic traditional Korean food, Mannaland is your best address in Dubai. Conveniently located, this place is certainly not pretentious nor posh, service is fast and food is very tasty.
Do not miss their Bibimbap!

Food was good - appetizers were great, slightly spicy where necessary.

short rib was tasty and not over tendered.

Kimchi seafood jeon was perfectly on point. Batter was light and crispy with just the right amount of chewiness. Very generous with the kimchi and squid. Would go back just for this.

Would have been 5* if not for the price.

First time to visit the restaurant. Nice location and parking is easy. Ordered the mackerel, beef soup, and galbi (beef ribs barbeque). The mackerel was not as tasty as expected; big serving but it was dry and I am not sure how differently it was seasoned compared to the other restaurants I’ve been to. The beef soup was awesome asked for the less spicier version but the broth was really good I highly recommend it. As for the marinated beef ribs I find it a little salty but good portions of it. The staff are awesome, good customer service. Overall I recommend this place to those that like Korean food.

So there are many many Korean restaurants in Dubai however this is by far the best!!! I go back every time for the big crab and seafood spicy soup. All the small accompaniment are traditional and tasty. Also made fresh so don’t be surprised if the replenishment of those tiny dishes are never the same. Prices are good for the value. Clean and simple decor. Busy nights need a booking or you can wait but could take a while. It is popular.

This is the best korean restaurant in Dubai. Believe me, I have tried it all since I do really love korean food. Taste is very authentic and on point. Price is reasonable compared to other restaurant because you get what you paid for and it is worth it. They give a lot of bachan and korean bbq is well marinated. Im favorite is always the korean soups and bbq.
Atmosphere - you have an option if you want to sit and hangout or dine on the floor, like koreans do... toilet is very clean. And I like it. I always rate the cleanliness of the area base on the toilet.
Food is excellent. Portions are okey, side dishes are nice.
Value of money - slightly pricey

It was my second visit to the restaurant after almost 8 months and this time was accompanied by a Korean business partner.

Tried the shabu shabu, seafood pancake, hotpot and a few other dishes which were super in taste.

Will surely visit the place again and you Foodies plan a visit there soon too. 😁

The experience was great. Been a while since I have visited a Korean restaurant. They offer a decent taste of the cuisine since Soju is not part of any dishes here especially in their Kimchi. Staff was very friendly. It added more to the experience. Highly recommended. Definitely worth a comeback.

Hungry again... on the road.
We found this restaurant on Zomato hidden gems.
The staff is very nice- the old owner even recommended dishes to us.

We had Galbi (marinated short ribs- grilled on the table) and bibimbap.
The short ribs came with a lot of small side dishes (e.g. kimchi). I ate the cut pieces in salad leaf packages. Nice. Bibimbap (ruce with veggies, egg, mushrooms etc) was also nice.

Sharing these two dishes and having some barley tea, has been light enough keep us “awake” and not overstuffed.

Succulent Juicy fresh Korean Food!!

After years of attempting to get my family to try Korean Cuisine with me (and failing of course), I decided to take things into my own hand and got my associate along to my first even Korean Food experience and I absolutely loved it!

The galvanizing flavors, the seemingly authentic Korean setup, the live table top BBQ with beef ribs, cheerful and helpful servers, as well as the low height platform style (which we decided to forgo considering our bad knees) all added to the experience that was so satisfying.

Would definitely go back!! X N

This place gives an authentic Korean dining experience. We sat at the low tables and dine like those in Korean dramas—> annyeong haseyo, kimchi! 🤗 We ordered some kimbap, beef and the blackbean noodles. The food was nice and they’ll even serve you free side dishes and a cup of rice but their price is a bit expensive.

First experience with korean food and will definitely go back for more!

Food- Suitable for those who are not too fond of spicy food as focus is more on the taste and flavours and less on the level of spice. Perfect mix of vegetables and meat, leaving you feeling full without the urge to overeat.

Ambience- Traditional and pleasant. Not too fancy. Very friendly waiters.

Price- Slightly overpriced for the quantity

This Korean restaurant is amazing. It was full of people on Tuesday night when I visited there. Food are really tasty, but because of many people there, the service was not very good, and the speed of food serving was extremely slow that night. And the kalbi portion was smaller than before.

If u really wanna try authentic korean food
This is the place to go...
I met soooo many koreans here and I absolutely loved the food!
The waiters are amazing and one of them became my chingu(friend) 😂
The place is a little small so it would be better to make reservations before hand!
I had :
Jjajamyang (black bean noodles) - 55dhs
Galbi gui (marinated beef) - 85dhs
Sweet and sour beef - 60-70dhs
The beef was cooked in front of u which is the best part... u can get it cooked in the kitchen also though.
The beef was very juicy and tender.
Sweet and sour beef was a little soggy not crispy but I absolutely loved the sauce that it was cooked in.
And personally speaking... this jjajamyang was one of the best I had in Dubai!

Heard a lot of good things about Mannaland Satwa from my friends so I thought I should give it a try and compare to other Korean restaurants in Dubai as I'm fond of Korean food. Went to dine in last night, quite a crowd in there. Decided to order several dishes to give it a go: Galbi Gui, Daksal Bulgogi, Teokbokkie and we were served with a variety of Banchan (side dishes).

Galbi Gui: BBQed to perfection, very juicy and tender though a little bit on the sweet side. Would say it's over priced as the portions weren't that big. However, would still recommend this dish.

Daksal Bulgogi: Very flavourful, love the spicyness to it though it's a bit too much of heat for the throat to handle. Would suggest to cook a little bit more to have some crispyness to it.

Teokbokkie: Rice cakes were cooked perfectly, quite chewy but satisfying. Sauce and spice level was perfect, though was expecting more ingredients in it. Would recommend this dish as well.

Generally, a little bit pricey for the portions they serve but would come back again to dine in.

Have been here twice and a lovely experience on both occasions. Authentic Korean delicacies, served by friendly floor staff. Tasted the beef short rib bowl (which gets cooked on the table), soup, shrimp pancake (omelette) and the ginseng tea (pls confirm with staff re the tea). Super quality meat. While the interiors is nothing to shout about, a meal here is great value for money. Parking can be a challenge so taking cab is wise.

Had home delivered Korean – and I think it was pretty good.

Just to be safe, we ordered three of the same for our family - the BibimBap - which from our other Korean experiences we were familiar with. Bibimpap, when done right is a delightful (and perfect winter meal) with rice, vegetables, meat and a fried egg on top. It's best had at the restaurant. 

Bibim means "mixed" and bap means "rice". It is a in a bowl mix of steamed rice, sautéed vegetables and a fried egg, all mixed up together. In typical Korean households, it's a traditional way of using up day-old rice and leftovers, so if you're lucky there might be a bit of barbecued beef or tofu thrown in too. It's served cold in the summer, hot in the winter, but always with a side serving of gochujang – a thick, shiny, deep red chilli paste – to add perkiness. Koreans believe it heals the body, releases energy and keeps illness away through the winter.  perfect timing, then in our limited Dubai winter.

But we had it delivered, and I just cannot complain. It was just as good. They even sent through the usual little complimentary things they serve just to get you started – which made the whole thing of ordering for home not miss out on the restaurant experience. The meat was tender, the veggies done right. This was a good bibimbap, considering we weren't at a fancy Gangham style place at all. 

Judging from some of the photos of the place, I don't think we missed  much by ordering for home delivery. Next time though, based on the fairly good bibimbap, we would experiment across the menu and try new things. I am really keen to try their Banchan and of course , at the restaurant the Haemul Jeongol – classic Korean.

The delivery was quick. The person who took the order was totally professional and positive , eager to help. And the food, well, the one we tried was just as good as any in town.  Value for money is actually quite good. So: jal meogeosseumnida. which I think means a good meal after all.

By far my most favourite food and place in Uae . I love the floor sitting and the food is something that can be my staple . The first meal I ate after delivering my baby was bibimbap. My husband had specially ordered for me in the hospital as I wanted to eat few days before the delivery but couldn't . The service is also commendable . I wish they had more branches.

Wonderful place! I am a regular and won't think twice when the Korean bug hits me from time to time.
Their Bibimbap is delicious and they customize it to taste.. I usually order mine without the meat but with extra veggies, egg and spicy.
One of my all time favorites here is the Spicy Seafood Tofu Stew. Delicious! A complete flavour bomb and spicy enough to get the sinuses flowing. Try it during the colder months:) though they will customize the spice according to taste if you request so.
Another fav is the Japchaee (Cold glass noodle salad) Really good. Their Dumplings and pancakes are great too... And of course the Beef BBQ.
They also do a good mix of Banchan which comes in complimentary the moment you sit at your table.
All in all a wonderful experience. Me and my daughter can't have enough of Mannaland.

First experience with Korean food and i absolutely loved it! I was lucky enough to go with a korean friend so i sat back while she ordered. We tried a few different things. The bibimbap was delicious but you have to add a lil spicy sauce that it comes with otherwise its a bit bland. We tried a vegetarian rice (cant remember the name) but it was really good even for a carnivore like myself. My favourite dish of the night was the galbi. The beef was so tender. We wrapped it in a lettuce leaf with a few condiments like kimchi etc. Its a beautiful explosion of flavours and textures in your mouth. I definitely recommend trying it if you love trying different cuisines. I was pleasantly surprised.

Before I try out Mannaland I was a Korean-food virgin. I knew nothing about the cuisine -or the country for that matter, but I was adamant on going. A good friend of mine who's a Korean-food fanatic took me there and took charge of ordering everything.

Of all the Korean restaurants I've tried so far here in Dubai, Mannaland has to be the best so far. I love the experience, the food, the staff and the interiors. To fully appreciate a korean restaurant you must feel like you are in Korea. I felt that in Mannaland. :)

I've tried Bibimbap, Galbi Gui and Bibimbap.  The only problem I have with this restaurant is that they are located far from any metro station. You just have to take a taxi to get there. 

But it's still all worth it. :)

The term 'hidden gem' gets thrown around a fair bit, but this place fits the description.

Full of Koreans, cheap prices, simple decor, quality food.
It's very simple, if you want authentic well priced Korean come here.

As a Korean food enthusiast, I've been wanting to this place for so long which added to my dining experience. Our group had ordered the Galbi Gui along with Kimbap. What I loved about the dining experience is that you could choose for the cooked meat to be brought to you or you could ask for it to be cooked in front of you. The Galbi was accompanied by various amount of side dishes including a bowl of rice, kimchi, tofu, japchae etc. The meat was marinated to perfection and stayed hot throughout our meal. On the other hand, the interiors and the traditional seating option with the cutlery was something I have been wanting to experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and looking forward to visit in the future.

I took my 4 children for a Korean experience and we loved it! The restaurant is not fancy but clean. We chose to sit at a low table on cushions, which was exotic enough. My kids discovered a small red electric bell on the table to call the staff and thought it was such a pleasant feature. We therefore ended ordering many drinks and side dishes so everyone could have a go (or 2) at the bell (they want to go everyday since).
We ordered shabu shabu, grilled prawns and 2 "bento" lunch. Everything was fresh, with plenty of greens. Small starters came with delicious kimchi and other marinated vegetables and beans. Everything was well presented. The staff was very courteous. My only concern though was that I wondered whether the food had glutamate in... I would say... Yes possibly...

Well the food has more flavors but everything tastes overly sweet. The portions are smaller compared to other Korean restaurants, also the dishes lack in meat quantity. Side dishes(kimchi) here are bomb 👌🏻. Overall I liked all of the dishes I tried here, been here couple of times but wouldn't say it's my favorite.

So this place was recommended by 2 friends and I enjoy Korean food so we all went for dinner to check it out. It's sort of near Al Ghazal mall and it has some grocery stores next to it. The surroundings aren't anything to write home about.

The restaurant itself is fairly small. We were greeted by staff straight away and seated. There was only 1 other table occupied when we entered at 9pm. The staff was very friendly and polite throughout the dinner.

Now to the food! We ordered:
Bibimbap (rice)with veggies
Beef bulgogi
The galbi- beef short ribs cooked tabletop
Seafood and spring onion pancake
Glass noodles with egg and veggies
We also had an array of little bites from kimchi to tofu and black beans.

The highlight is definitely the table top cooked beef short ribs. It had a sweet yet spiced flavour and was super tender!!

My next favourite was the seafood pancake. I had read some reviews before ordering and was worried the pancake wouldn't be good but it was great!!

The bibimbap wasn't that great.. To be honest I've had better. It was just slightly too bland for my liking.

The bulgogi was also good and the glass noodles were ok but I think they were a bit over cooked and had that slight mushy softness to them which I don't like. The small sides were all nice and complemented the meal.

One thing I loved,which was so incredibly simple, was that they bought us orange wedges to eat post dinner. We didn't ask for them. They were just served to the table. My and my friend who don't even like oranges,( we found out our common dislike for oranges at the dinner table after 4 years in dubai!), were chomping down on these ones. They were delicious!

All in all, a nice simple Korean meal at a nice simple restaurant. I would go back.

The restaurant was nice and cozy,the hostess was nice to greet me when I arrived,
Our table had been reserved,we sat on the small floor tables that give you the authentic Korean dining experience....
The waiter recommended good choices,it was a lot of food....
And delicious....
The Orange juice I had was freshly made which was good.
Good value for money and excellent service.

A very nice Korean dinner experience. We had grills, the kalbi and bulgogis, which we think is quite good.

Nicely priced, decent food, good service. The only downside is that the toilet is outside of the premise, quite a feat to go there. Otherwise everything is fine.

We decided to try a Korean place tonight and we weren't disappointed! Having come from San Francisco, we are very familiar with this type of cuisine, so we had high expectations. The meats were prepared in an authentic manner. The sides and sauces provided were authentic as well. I would recommend the Galbi and the Bulgogi. We also got the spicy chicken, but it was just alright. I would pass on it. I'm looking forward to trying out more Korean places so that I can compare my experience.

One of the older korean spots in town, Mannaland is a hidden gem.

Service is basic but h but the real reason to visit is the awesome korean bbq. The chicken and beef bulgogi are excellent as is the bimbimbap.

Not the nicest place to dine but nonetheless well worth a visit!

Just like the countries, there is a shroud of mystery around Korean food. While I can claim better acquaintance with their neighbouring cusines, there were a lot questions in my mind about how similar albeit different are they from eachother. And I was keen to find out!. Mannaland located in Satwa came recommended by many as a good place to start. Having called the restaurant to make a booking, I was advised that they have a lower traditional seating available, and that was my obvious choice. The restaurant itself is very unassuming though large and can get busy and by the looks of it hosts a regular pack of patrons, who seemed all too familiar with the menu (unlike us novices).

If you have yet to try Korean food, this is the place to try. Order galbi, which is marinated beef ribs and they are to die for. Only backdraw, they don't have enough sitting arrangement and a bit pricy.

Bibimbap is good. Kimchi tasted weird. Nice variety of side dishes. Waiters are nice. Food arrived in less than 15 mins. The pancake is horrible, do not order it
