    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! 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

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

    TLDR: Not worth your money…read more 1. Unfriendly manager The second I stepped into the store with my own matcha drink the manager ran up to me and said I wasn't allowed to keep my drink. He told me I had to chug or throw in a rude manner. I've been to other gens locations that do not care at all if I have a boba from some other store. I was super taken aback and the manager continued being very condescending about it. I get not being allowed to bring in like your own alcohol, but banning outside matcha is ridiculous. What's the point of chugging it when I can just drink it throughout my meal? I also highly doubt gens makes major profits off of their non alcoholic beverages. 2. No beef belly Gens beef belly is the only reason I'd go to gens. But then surprise surprise they had run out of beef belly. Especially since our table had expressed an interest in the beef belly, I feel like it would only be fair to offer us a discount for missing out on an important part of the menu. But honestly I don't think the manager cares that much about the customer experience so no discount for us. 3. No discount for vegetarians Listen, I know that vegetarians usually don't find themselves at kbbq, but we had a friend in the group who is vegetarian and wanted to be included. They get a discount at the Tucson Gens because that location understands that my friend can't have the bbq experience. Once again, customer experience does not matter at this specific gens because they did not give a discount. They also gave my friend a really sad plate of unseasoned bell peppers to grill. $30+ for that was lowkey criminal. 4. No sauce or banchan at the beginning I've noticed other reviews mention this, but what's up with no sauce or banchan at the start? That stuff should already be on the table the second you get seated. We were also already deep into a plate of meat before they finally brought the sauce. Once again I've been to other gens locations, and they usually do things normally (sauce and banchan out at the start). Not to be that guy - and yes maybe I have a particular dislike towards the manager - but it must be the restaurant owner's/management staff's first day on kbbq earth. 5. Bad corn cheese Seriously, how do you mess up corn cheese? It was 90% corn and 10% cheese. Do we not have standards? 6. The soju deal ad I didn't ask for I totally don't blame the waiters for this. As someone who has also worked in customer service, I've been forced to advertise some pretty stupid stuff. The poor waiter kept bringing up soju to me and specifically some kind of soju special they're doing. Guys...it's a night before a workday and I'm just trying to have some beef belly (L). If I wanted soju I would have already asked for a bottle. The poor waiter repeated the ad to me a second time even after my refusal. Very awkward for both of us. 7. Missing items Our table ordered a salad that never came...maybe they're trying to protect us from the diarrhea parasite... Let's be real, I don't come to Gens for a Michelin experience. I just come for some quick, easy, inoffensive, corporate kbbq. No frills, no tricks. But I feel like whoever is in charge here is kind of doing too much in the wrong categories, especially when there are some serious flaws in their food and cooking system. I know a sinking ship when I see one.

We drove an hour to eat here, and we are more than satisfied with the food and service. The service was very friendly and extremely quick. Once we had ordered our food, I went to the bathroom and by the time I got back we had already received our banchan, shrimp tempura appetizer, and bulgogi, followed by everything else shortly after. All the food came out fresh and the bulgogi came out sizzling on a hot skillet ready for us. All the meat we ate was very tender and flavorful. The yukgaejang (spicy beef and vegetable soup, 육개장) was slightly different than what we are used to, as it was more like small slices of beef rather than shredded; however, this is not a complaint as the meat was still extremely tender and almost melted in my mouth. Overall the soup was delicious and exactly what we were looking for. I also wanted to mention the banchan and how fresh it was. There honestly was not a dish that we didn't enjoy, even the fried chicken was amazing (we were so full we had to bring it home). My mother even said she would eat there everyday if we lived closer. At the end of the meal, we were brought watermelon slices. I was tempted to ask how they picked their watermelons or where they got them from, because they were soooo sweet and delicious! It was refreshing after eating all that food. Overall, we will be back 100% and ready to try more menu items. I highly recommend that if you enjoy authentic Korean food, you come here as this is now our #1 spot over Hodori in Mesa.

We came on a weekday afternoon, so it wasn't busy when we arrived. We got seated within the 10 minutes since they were setting up the tables for us. Ordering is fairly easy since they offer combos depending which meats you like more. Everything we ordered was good quality. My favorite meat cuts were the beef tongue, brisket and the intestines. If you're not into eating inside parts of animals, I would recommend getting the brisket or kalbi cuts. The Banchan (sides) were good too. They had fish cake, kimchi, pickled radish and cucumbers available. We also tried the tofu soup, steamed egg and corn cheese which all came out hot and tasted flavorful. This spot is a-la-carte, so you order off the menu and pay by items. My only downside is that they didn't have rice paper here since I don't really eat the white rice since it fills me up too quickly. Other than that, I would come back here again next time I'm visiting family. Service here was awesome too! We were checked on throughout our whole meal and the servers were friendly.

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. For my spice level, I chose medium and my husband chose extra hot. They warned him it would be very spicy, but he likes it that way. The staff then pre-cooks the food and serves it in hot pot to keep it hot. You're able to control the heat. Oh my goodness. It was so, SO good! Flavorful and spicy. We built our own sauces at their sauce bar and came up with some really tasty ones. We couldn't finish our food, but we were able to take them to go.

Ok, fine, some people might like the spicy malatang, but this is the first time I've tried spicy malatang, and it will be my last for as long as I can help it! There's nothing fancy about this restaurant. It's DIY, self serve. For the malatang, you grab a very large bowl and put everything your heart desires in it (I'm talking about seafood, meats, protein, veggies, carbs, etc, not everything you desire in a man/woman), you bring it to the counter, and pick your soup base, and they bring it out on a burner, and you start chowing! Pretty easy and simple! They have a self serve sauce bar with all the different sauce recipes that you can create as many saucy combinations as you like! 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!
