Ordered their sizzling stone rice with Pork, chilli sauce was provided as much as you can squeeze. Side dishes were generously served, I like Crunchy Sweet Anchovies very much. I stirred it up together, what a healthy flavourful mix. Pork remained tender while rice was fluffy fragrant. $13.90, I would say it was pretty affordable.

Spent a total of almost $30 just for 2 people. Ordered BBQ Beef and Bulgogi. BBQ Beef - $13.80The beef was fresh and tender, and drenched thoroughly in gravy. It was well-marinated and delicious, though the portion was a little too many for a person. it was a restaurant with many frills, perhaps that's why the slightly more expensive value. this also includes a portion of rice that was quite sticky instead of fluffy.Bulgogi - $15.80the bulgogi was a little fattening and oily, and there were too

Bulgogi - $15.80
the bulgogi was a little fattening and oily, and there were too little chopped green onions to go along with it.

Ice Lemon Tea - $2.00
Pear Juice - $2.50
i would recommend drinking the pear juice because it tasted quite fragrant and fresh, whereas the ice lemon tea is of little additional value (in terms of satisfaction).
perhaps i wouldn't come back to the restaurant again because it was food that i could get in a food court price.

I have never tried the Jajangmyun at any other restaurants or food court before. The sauce is really nice and cannot be compared to the kind which you get in instant noodles (quite a moot point).

The Kimchi Pancake is really nice, the thickness is just right. However it's not very spicy, even after dipping it in the given sauce. I will definitely want to return to try their spring onion pancake!

Mana Story is a small Korean restaurant located on the top level of Jcube.I ordered the bean noodles and had iced citron tea. The bean noodles were very nice!

I ordered the bean noodles and had iced citron tea. The bean noodles were very nice! Full of flavour and the cucumber strips were refreshing and add texture to the noodles because of its crispness. The bean noodles came in a rather big portion for a girl. When mixing the noodles, I was delighted to see thin strips of pork belly meat. So it didn't feel boring to just keep chewing noodles.

The iced citron tea was very good and easy on the throat. There were bits of citrus peel in the tea and I liked it because I can chew on the peels and get tiny bursts of flavour in my mouth.

The meal came with a free flow of 12 side dishes which were perfect when I wanted to eat something else to go along with our main dish. I had finished my first round of the side dishes while waiting for my bean noodles and got the service staff to get us more. However, it seems that the staff was quite reluctant to give us another set of the 12 side dishes.

I like the way the restaurant is decorated outside. It gives off a lodge-style before you step in. If you sit at the side of the restaurant, you get to look down and watch skaters in the ice rink.

Go with friends and you can even chat about the skills of the skater as you take a break from eating.

I really enjoyed my lunch there as the korean "ahjumma" female boss served us personally and was very humble and attentive. The ala-carte as well as set lunch dishes were very affordable especially since there is a 30% discount ongoing for citibank card members. What I love most about their menu is that every main you order comes with 12 FREE FLOW side dishes (known as banchan in korean). I love how you can go to the counter for refills as and when you like.

The food tasted pretty average but not worth the prices. The Bibimbab was twice the amount from those found at foodcourt, and the taste was somewhat the same? The topokki was way better than the one I prepared but it cost $10, too expensive. Even their free flow side dish isn't entire free-flow. Free flow side dish from Man'tory Set, most of the side dish is yummy, especially the Anchovies. Topokki is quite spicy, can order as a side dish to share.

Free flow side dish from Man'tory Set, most of the side dish is yummy, especially the Anchovies. Topokki is quite spicy, can order as a side dish to share. Dolsot Bibimbab is pretty the same as the one you can find from food court, serving is quite big too. Dolsot Curry Pork Cutlet, the curry is not spicy. Jjajang Myeon is not bad, but first few bites will not be very nice cause the taste is very different from many of the other noodles we had before.

Some other dishes from Man'tory Set like the soup is nice. It's actually quite worth the money to order the set because it comes with 2 soups, 1 fish and many side dishes.

i ordered the BBQ chicken, it appeared like those you find in food courts but only at a more expensive price. the chicken meat was well marinated, very tender. it was not too salty and went well with rice. as a whole i was pretty satisfied.

After the last time i ordered the chicken bibimbap, i decided to order their squid bibimbap. their squid is chopped until very finely. it is not in the ring form. when you mixed in the rice, you can barely see it but when you spoon mouth and mouth of rice, you can taste the chewy squid. i like it that they allow you to add the chilli sauce cos you can control how spicy the rice is.

Located at the top floor of Jcube (previously - Jurong Entertainment Centre), a newly built mall which housed the second IMAX theatres locally and highly acclaimed olympic-sized ice skating rink that opened their doors earlier this year, Manna Story has made another of its nest there in the midst of cool air. Like most Korean restaurants, it boasts authentic Korean cuisine served in a homely environment. Bromance ZR, Tim and yours truly decided to have our virgin experiences (okay, that sounds pretty gay) right there.

On a typical Saturday night at approximately 7pm, we expected to see restaurants filled with diners, but it was barely half-filled when we got there. Upon ordering, one of the service staff served us an impressive platter of assorted appetizers, which usually in other restaurants - the most you can get is probably a maximum of 4. For the benefits of all kiasu Singaporeans, this is refillable but please do not waste.

My favourite was the peanuts (2nd row, most right) if you want to know. It is slightly different than the ones you would have in Chinese restaurants, this is harder and a tad more chewer. It was like popping sweets and trust me, it is addictive.

For me, I had their sizzling plate of BBQ Beef (S$13.80) with bowl of white rice, salad and soup. Quantity-wise, it exceeded my expectations, however quality-wise, it was a little dry and hard. There is a small 20% chance you could find a piece that is juicy and tender. Other than that? Keep digging.

We ordered their promo item - Kimchi Pizza Bab (S$8.80) for sharing. Although not exactly pizza, the name simply means Kimchi rice topped with melted cheddar cheese, tomatoes and capsicum. This is good, I love how well the cheese complemented the kimchi rice. I just wished that there was more kimchi in the rice.

Curry Pork Cutlet (S$14.00) tasted like their Japanese counterpart. Thick, juicy, curry-drenched pork katsu topped with carrot and potato cubes. Do you know what I wanted to say? OM NOM NOM NOM.

Mul Naengmyeon (S$11.80) was a disappointment according to ZR. This bowl of Korean cold noodles in plain broth (or water as some might call it) is better appreciated in smaller portions, and when not consumed in chilly weathers. For me, I definitely prefer the Bibim Naengmyeon (which they don't serve here) - cold noodles with broth made from beef.

The whole dinner costed us S$59.70, including service charge and prevailing government taxes. Is it worth visiting again? Well, maybe I might.. if I ran out of food to try.
