    I have been here a few times and it's always been great. We ordered pork belly, brisket, bulgogi, galbi, cheese corn (my kids love this), jap chae, all very good. The galbi didnt have bone which is fine, but the bone in makes it a little tastier. The service was great and no wait on a Tuesday. We asked for jalapeños and garlic, and a few refills on the bonchan. We were stuffed when we left. I am very happy with Manna and recommend it.

    The service here is just stellar! We usually go to the Mesa location because it is closer, but this location has much better service! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The tables are much bigger, and the service is faster - but they gave my toddler so much sweet attention![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great vibes and efficient team![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I kind of like the homey feel of the manna in Mesa better than this one that has a nightclub vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The environment was great, music wasn't too loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

    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.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also have good ventilation inside so it's not super smoky.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, this is the best place to go for KBBQ.

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

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

    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!

    The meat quality was disappointing, and there was a limited selection of side dishes. The server was an older, cranky lady.

    Best Korean bbq around. We go often to the Chandler location. The owner would be very smart to open one in Queen Creek.

The Golden original (left side of the picture): it was really crispy on the outside, and the meat is steaming hot on the inside. I like the battered texture of the outside, however because the batter is quite thick so I got tired of the dish after 2 pieces. The pieces were really big. Secret sauce flavor: the sauce was nice, it tastes similar to a soy garlic flavor. I like this one better than the golden original. Overall the food was delicious and the staff were nice. The restaurant has plenty of seating. FYI: the pickle radish side dish is not free. It's $2 extra, which I'm not sure if it just this location that charges it or entire Bbq chain.

Korean BBQ is all about timing, attentiveness, and energy -- and he mastered all three. He was incredibly attentive without hovering. Our table was never cluttered, drinks were always refilled before we even had to think about it, and the meat rotations were perfectly timed. At a place like Gen where the pace can make or break the experience, he kept everything flowing smoothly. What impressed us most was his professionalism and attitude. He was knowledgeable about the menu, quick with recommendations, and confident in explaining different cuts and options. He made sure we understood how everything worked and checked in consistently to ensure we had exactly what we needed. But beyond just doing his job, he had that rare quality of genuine service. Friendly, respectful, efficient, and personable. You can tell he takes pride in representing the restaurant. He made us feel like valued guests, not just another table in a busy dining room. The food was great, the atmosphere was lively and fun, but Brenden is what made this visit memorable. If management is reading this -- he is top-tier. Hold onto him.

They offer a sort of cook-it-yourself experience where you order up to two kinds of broths, and they bring them to you in a large pot that goes over your tabletop grill. You receive meats from your server, and have access to a self-serve bar of vegetables, noodles, seafood, and spices. Because it is so customizable you can really experiment with flavors and come up with some delightful combinations. I was a big fan of the brisket and octopus in the spicy broth, and my fiancée enjoyed the pork belly in the sweet broth. Both pots also complemented each other quite well! My favorite part of the ambiance was the privacy curtains. Because tables are all next to each other I imagine it would be easy to see what other diners are doing, but the curtains add a sense of privacy that made us feel like we were almost dining alone. Our service was also excellent. We had several people working in the restaurant come by during the meal to make sure we had all the broth, water, and meats that we wanted. Definitely try Jin Shabu! It is delicious and well worth the money spent!

They have so many options, even for pescatarians and vegetarians. My husband and I were so excited, we went a little crazy. They recommend choosing 1-1.5 pound worth of ingredients and we both went over. The final step is choosing your flavor and spice levels. We both opted for #1, the malatang.

I didn't love my spicy malatang, hence the 3 star for this visit, but hopefully I can give it another shot again trying something different!
