Tips

  • Know Before You Go
    Prices are reasonable, topping out around $18. But that doesn't mean meat eaters won't grumble about the missing center-of-the-plate protein.
  • Parking
    Division is wide (good for U-turns) and lined with meters so parking is usually a cinch. Of course, you will have to circle come the weekend.
  • The Extras
    De Cero's Jill Baron is the creative pulse behind the kitchen, so expect a solid menu.
  • When to Go
    This strip comes alive on the weekend, but this restaurant remains fairly calm.
  • Where to Sit
    The outside patio is spacious, but a lack of lighting is a pitfall. Regulars stick to the bar where bartenders are happy to serve food and drink.
  • Know Before You Go
    Prices are reasonable, topping out around $16. But that doesn't mean meat eaters won't grumble about the missing center-of-the-plate protein.

I'm blown away by how incredible the food is at Mana. I had the "Bulgogi" which is seared tofu with soy shiitake mushrooms. How can anyone make tofu taste this good? It was amazing. I've also had the "Rice Noodles" here which are not…
