Manna Asian Cuisine — Restaurant in Salisbury

Manna Asian Cuisine has an appealing location and an impressive range of menu options, from Korean to Japanese dishes and beyond, making it a convenient spot for anyone craving diverse Asian flavors.

However, the quality of the dishes I find is inconsistent. While I haven’t sampled the entire menu, the simpler dishes I’ve tried reveal some areas for improvement. The beef often seems to come from lower-quality cuts, affecting its texture, and the chicken, while passable, lacks the freshness that could make it memorable. Even the rice sometimes tastes less than fresh, and the Japchae is too soft, giving the indication its overcooked which takes away from the overall experience.

A significant area for improvement is the sauces, which often lean too sweet. This isn’t a matter of culinary style but rather an adjustment that could be easily made to suit a more balanced flavor profile. Reducing the sweetness would allow the natural flavors of the dishes to shine through and enhance the authenticity of the cuisine.

Finally, it would be wonderful if the food were served at a hotter temperature consistently. Lukewarm dishes tend to diminish the enjoyment, as warmth brings out the best in flavor and texture, especially customary of asian cuisines.

In summary, Manna Asian Cuisine has the potential to be a great spot, given its location and range of options. With some tweaks to ingredient quality, sauce balance, and serving temperature, it could become a more satisfying destination for those seeking a quality Asian dining experience. Don't be fooled by the young and hungry clientelle as a measure of...

All-star review here. This is arguably one of the best places to get food on the eastern shore of Maryland. I have tried many things on the menu (at this location and Kaiju, their other location in Berlin) and at this point, and I am pretty certain that everything Manna offers is incredibly delicious. I know that if I go to Manna after a long day and need something to make me happy, I can count on their food to bring me back to life and put a smile on my face. Yes, it's that good!

Another thing to note about Manna, is the impeccable customer service. Everyone who works there is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. If you don't understand a menu item and you are new to something, they will thoroughly explain these items to you without making you feel silly about it. The owners are super sweet people!! I just love going to this place and supporting such a lovely business.

My favorite items on the menu are the spicy pork bulgogi, tongkotsu ramen, free style bowls, and salmon lemon sushi. All of this is making my mouth water and I just finished some ramen. Lol!

PLEASE try this place. You will not be disappointed. It is a wonderful business and the people running it are...

The recent time we went their chicken gave me food poisoning. I cannot justify eating at their establishments again if this is how bad their food has gotten. Dozens of times I've have been served under flavored, rubbery/gristly chicken, and now I have been poisoned with their undercooked food. What a nasty way to trust a once beloved local restaurant for our anniversary dinner. Not only did it make us sick to our stomachs, but it broke our hearts.

It was getting to a point I was avoiding eating their food because it was always a 80% chance it was going to be nasty, but with over 100F fever now and extremely sick to my stomach i cannot support this anymore. This used to be a favorite place of mine.

I hope this place can turn itself around and I wish the best for them but i will not be putting support no longer here when the quality dips this bad every time THEY open a...
