    The service here is just stellar! We usually go to the Mesa location because it is closer, but this location has much better service! The tables are much bigger, and the service is faster - but they gave my toddler so much sweet attention! Great vibes and efficient team! The meat quality here is great, AND I still love their ban chan quality. I don't think my review last year differs, but that probably means they are consistent!

    Pro-tip: Don't be shy about asking for extra of the side dishes. Don't order the premium steak unless you really like leaner steak or you're with a group bigger than three people. Highlights: Really nice to see a manna on the side of town! The meat quality is really good and I love the variety of not just meats, but appetizers and sides. They are super quick with bringing out the food and overall service. If there's a certain side, you'd like, you can ask for more and they bring like 3X the normal quantity. Lowlights: Skip the fried chicken because it's mostly breading - stick to the wings. The tofu soup was probably the saltiest soup I've ever had. I kind of like the homey feel of the manna in Mesa better than this one that has a nightclub vibe.

    Definitely recommend Manna for your KBBQ needs. The meat was delicious and not too fatty. I like when KBBQ spots provide sides without you having to ask. The environment was great, music wasn't too loud. We'll definitely be back!

    Korean BBQ lovers you MUST-TRY this place. Me and my friend went and try out a new BBQ and we were amazed how busy restaurants is and yea, not so surprising why they are so busy and long wait because the have a variety options with reasonable price for all you can eat with $28.99. I love spicy and we did order all option with marinating with spicy sauce that they offer ok the menu and yes, I didn't disappointed at all. It's just perfect kick and not overly spicy. The restaurant quite small and have limited table to offer for a group more then 4 people. Try to go during weekdays otherwise come before 1 pm during weekend to avoid a long wait I loved it and already craving for more. I will come back again s

    My family and I love mannas. They are the best Korean BBQ. They're fast with the orders, change the grills out regularly, and don't have a strict amount you can order at a time like Gen's. We love when we get Anny as our server!! She's the BEST. There's another worker who's not too friendly lol, but still brings everything you order quickly. The food is great- as well as the sides. They also have good ventilation inside so it's not super smoky. Overall, this is the best place to go for KBBQ.

    So we didn't know that there was a Chandler location, so we kind of stumbled upon this one. We were so excited that there was a location closer to us, but in the end it didn't compare to the normal location we attend. I feel like some of the meat weren't as marinated as the Mesa location, their jap chae taste weird, and their steamed egg was burnt so it had a very bitter taste to it. Service also wasn't that great as we ended up waiting for a good twenty minutes for our bill, and they weren't even really busy and had more than enough servers out front. It wasnt the normal experience so it just didn't satisfy us. Oh and exhaust was set so low and in place, so we couldn't move it around. Honestly it was so low it was hard for us to flip our meat without hitting the exhaust. We asked a lady if it could lift up and she said no. At the Mesa location it's adjustable.

    Best korean bbq ever...!!! I am Korean and this is approved!!! The quality of the meat and nice servers!!!

    Service went great. The meat quality here isn't at best, I enjoy manna at the west gate location much better. Ambiance was clean so I appreciated that.

    Awesome quality of meat especially for an AYCE place! It is $28.99 a person. They have cooked and uncooked items. Your clothes will smell like kbbq when you leave, but it's so worth it! My favorite is Nuk Gan Sal! It is beef rib finger meat - meat cut from between the ribs. Chadol, galbi, manna steak, and beef tongue are just gets. For cooked items, I love getting the corn cheese, japchae, vegetable tempura, ramen, and tofu soup! We didn't have to wait as we came at 5pm on a Friday, but it got really busy when we were leaving. Great customer service!

    Beef Belly
    Fiona Shane I.

    Food: Delicious. Favorite meat- Beef Belly and Appetizer- Corn Cheese and Side Dish- Pickled Radish Service: The best! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Food came out super fast. Once seated we were served with banchan and sauces and drinks. Once the drinks came, we ordered right away. The waitresses always asked if we were doing ok or if we needed more meats. The other staff members who took empty plates out of the way were friendly as well. They were all very attentive. My water was running low and one of them saw it and she gave me water right away. Ambiance: The music was too loud for me but maybe I'm just getting old lol but it was quiet for dinner. Not a lot of people. No long lines unlike the Dobson/Mesa location. This Chandler-Gilbert location has super friendly staff so enjoyed dinner. Will def come back since it's 10 mins away from the house! And I love love Manna - AYCE KBBQ!

    Banchan / side dishes
    Aakriti A.

    We had a great time at Manna for our first time! Crystal was a great server and brought out all of our food extremely quickly and was very friendly and helpful! Our favorite things were, in order: 1. Spicy pork bulgogi (#35) - this is strips of pork that were marinated in a spicy sauce - delicious flavor! Not too spicy, maybe a 2 out of 5 2. Joomuluk (#21) - this was marinated steak and were nice and juicy after cooking 3. Chadol Beagi (#11) - this is really thinly sliced meat, cooks very quickly and easy to make crispy Along with their meats, all which were great (we tried most of the menu), we really liked the banchan (side dishes)! The pickled cucumbers were sooooo good, as was the mashed potatoes! Kimchi was good, picked radish, and beansprouts! They also had fish cakes (we don't eat fish). The banchan were unlimited which was nice too! They also didn't charge us for the rice. We also really liked the Soondubu, which is a spicy tofu stew - very delicious and came in a hot stone bowl (single serving) so it stayed piping hot for a while! Everything we had was delicious and definitely worth the $30 all you can eat! Can't wait to come back!

    AYCE Korean bbq plus other things on the menu like appetizers, soups, bibimbap, baby octopus, shrimp for $28.99 is a great deal! $14.49 for kids 5-10 years old. Usually if you want seafood it will cost more and doesn't even include appetizers... I was greeted right away when I walked in. On a Saturday night, it looks like a club. Lols Dark and lit up with blue lights, can't really hear what the other is saying across the table since it's so loud. So don't go here if you want a quiet atmosphere for deep convos. Lols I'm sure it's not like that for lunch. I made a ressie ahead of time for my party of 5 at 5:30. I recommend doing that especially on a weekend. It wasn't busy when we walked in but around 6:30 the place was packed and a line of people waiting. We ordered the brisket, pork belly, bulgogi, nuk gan sal and Hawaiian chicken. Everything was good. Comes with a salad, banchan (love that they have my two faves - potato salad and fish cake), and salt/sesame oil. It was my friend's first Korean bbq experience and she liked it. Our waitress was nice but like all kbbq places, busy and didn't linger long at the table. But she was quick with taking our orders and getting the food to us. Someone came to change our grill as needed a few times without us asking so that was nice. I'd def come back. Nice to have an AYCE Kbbq closer to my house...

    Newly opened (end of April 2024) all you can Korean BBQ restaurant. Came at 5.30pm on a Saturday and it was the perfect time as the crowd started rolling in at 6pm. We got seated immediately, the server was on point and very attentive and didn't event need the server button which is common at Korean restaurants. In terms of sides dish/ Korean appetizers. 5/5. Loved everything about it especially the bean sprouts and glass noodle. As for the meat selections... it was too much to write about but enjoyed the brisket, beef tongue, beef rib fingers, bulgogi (like teriyaki flavor) Ambience wise. Nice layout One of the better KBBQ in the valley hands down. Definitely coming back !

I was amazed that it fed all nine of us with plenty left over to take home. Seriously, it cost about $12 per person before tips.

    I stopped by Caldwell County BBQ for dinner on a Saturday evening. Located in Gilbert, I found…read morestreet parking right in front of the restaurant despite it being quite busy. I'll preface this review by saying I have very high standards when it comes to BBQ. I am from Houston after all. Caldwell County BBQ very much lived up to the hype. It's no surprise their reviews are so good. Ambiance (5/5): Caldwell County BBQ serves Texas-style BBQ. I felt right at home. There's a lot of Texan decor and the sort of ambiance you would expect at a BBQ joint. It's a spacious restaurant with plenty of seating outside and a decent amount of seating inside. We sat inside. One of the things they do well is keeping the A/C blasting both indoors and outdoors (while you're likely going to wait in line) along with misters. Definitely something you need in Phoenix! Service (4/5): I hate waiting in line. Though it's not unusual at popular BBQ spots, I still wish places like this would hire a couple of more people to make the line move faster (or even completely eliminate the lines). We probably waited in line for about 20 minutes. They have a water cooler along the route, but it was all out. Something the staff should check on a little more frequently. With all this being said, Caldwell County is well worth the wait. Drinks (5/5): Whenever I'm at a BBQ joint, I'm looking for sweet tea. Which they have here. Plus your standard assortment of soft drinks and alcohol, with a focus on beer. Food (5/5): BBQ joints typically have you pay by weight or by plates (one meat, two meats, three meats, etc.). Caldwell does it by the pound unless you go with a sandwich, loaded baked potato, etc. What's nice is they also have a family pack for 4 which comes with brisket, pulled pork, and your choice of ribs, sausage, or one other protein which is escaping me. Plus two large pint-size sides. We rolled with this option as it's a good deal (brisket, pulled pork, and St. Louis style ribs with corn casserole and mac and cheese). White bread, pickles, onions, and jalapenos are available free of charge. There are three BBQ sauces at each table: their classic BBQ, spicy, and AZ gold). We also added a quarter pound of the AZ burnt ends. Man, these are some quality meats. Brisket is the true test of Texas BBQ and the shining star. The brisket here isn't the best I've ever had but it's quite respectable. The sweet and spicy AZ burnt ends were delicious too. The ribs were tender and had a nice sweet glaze on them. The pulled pork was my least favorite, but still quite good. The sides are solid, though they could be a bit better. The mac and cheese was too peppery for my taste and the corn casserole was too sweet. Like pretty much all craft BBQ these days, Caldwell County BBQ isn't cheap. But the quality is there. This is the type of place that I would come back to again and again. They also have a location in Peoria though this one is the original. And I hear they don't run out of meats as other BBQ joints do (especially in Texas). That's a big plus! It's always a bummer when a BBQ joint is out of something you want. If you haven't been to Caldwell County BBQ, change that quick. Yeehaw!

Here's where the customer service outshined previous visits...when I got there and started to order our to-go dinner, I was told the potatoes were gone and they were making more but it would be about 20-30 minutes before they were ready.

I had some other things to do so left the store to take care of other business. Once back home (we live fairly close to the store), I called to ask if the potatoes were ready and after being placed on a brief hold, was told they had some ready but they were flying out the door! The young lady asked me if I wanted to place an order over the phone and decided to do that just so I could be sure we had their most wonderful smoked potatoes. I drove down to pick up our order and was met with some of the best staff, who laughed with me about the situation. They agreed about people calling beforehand when wanting that much food, apparently they also got about 30 lbs of meat as well. It's all good and we will be back when we need our Rudy's fix!
