“ I loved my order, JJA-Jang, and meat dumplings. My husband wasn’t as impressed with his Bi-Bim-Bap with beef. Thought there wasn’t enough flavor and too much lettuce. But I tried it and thought it was good. Service was good, atmosphere was a little lacking luster. Over great experience though. ”
“ This place won't blow your mind, but you're garunteed to leave satisfied. you get what you expect at a good price and good portions. This staff was friendly and efficient. ”
“ My absolute favourite place for fried chicken and BBQ. If you think you have had good fried chicken before trying Cafe the Mani’s chicken, you will genuinely change your mind. Probably their most regular customer at this point. Excellent service and the owners are really sweet. ”
“ A new summer menu has been added at Cafe the Mani! My family and I are regulars there and we were thrilled to check out the new items when we brought some family and friends from Iowa. Aside from their delicious authentic Korean dishes, they're now serving Bingsoo (shaved ice) for the season. We ordered both red bean and strawberry Bingsoo. The kids loved the strawberry ones, and my friends and I (all from Korea) preferred the red beans. Honestly, everyone should try both. We also had their amazing fried chicken, as usual. The Bingsoo is big enough for 2-3 people to share, and they provided small cups for us. I highly recommend trying the new summer menu, and my friends from Iowa were so envious that we have an authentic Korean restaurant in town. ”
“ We had dined in this place many times, one of my good friend introduced this place to us and we have been a regular since then. We love their authentic Korean cuisine within an affordable price range. Our favorite is Jja-hang, chicken wings, Don-Kka-Su and Tteok-Bokki. ”
“ I tried the newly released Peach-ro drink from cafe the mani, and it’s absolutely delicious! It perfectly captures the taste of the drink I used to enjoy back in Korea. Truly lives up to the name of a traditional Korean restaurant. I think this is going to be my favorite drink of the summer! ”
“ This is my go-to place when I want to eat healthy, delicious food in Lawrence. The restaurant is very clean, and the food is amazing. Everything tastes like authentic Korean cuisine! I highly recommend the seafood red noodles (jjambbong), sweet and sour pork, and tteokbokki. The combination of sweet and spicy is unstoppable ;) ”
“ Beautiful interior and delicious food. My boyfriend and I raved about how good the food was all day. All though this place is self serve, I would describe it more like a restaurant in terms of wait time and price. Wait time is about 20 minutes for food. Large portions and they cost about 13-16 per person. ”
