Manna Restaurant

Manna Restaurant, tucked into the heart of downtown Davis at 622 3rd Street, brings the bold flavors of Korean barbecue to the UC Davis community and visitors alike. Founded by chef‑owner Nayely Salcedo, the eatery blends modern design with traditional Korean touches: warm wooden tables, subtle hanbok‑inspired wall art, and an open grill where diners can watch marinated galbi and thinly sliced bulgogi sizzle. The menu showcases signature dishes such as caramel‑glazed short‑rib galbi, sweet‑savory bulgogi, steaming kimchi jjigae, colorful bibimbap topped with a fried egg, and stir‑fried japchae noodles. For those craving a snack, the Korean fried chicken, double‑crisped and brushed with gochujang glaze, is a crowd‑pleaser. Lunch runs from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm, while dinner starts at 5:30 pm and continues until 9:30 pm, extending to 10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Prices hover between $15 and $30 per person, offering generous portions that feel both hearty and affordable. Guests can order online through the restaurant’s website and enjoy up to a 15 % discount compared with third‑party delivery apps. The space feels lively yet intimate, perfect for a quick lunch between classes or a relaxed evening with friends. Just steps from the UC Davis campus, the Davis Farmers Market, and City Hall, Manna Restaurant is a convenient stop for students, locals, and tourists seeking an unforgettable Korean dining experience.
