    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.

    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!

    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

    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!

As always, we love the BBQ here...we typically get the moist brisket, the smoked potatoes, the three bean salad...today I also added a couple of corns and their cole slaw. The food is always so good and we find very consistent. 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 was told that someone previously had come in an purchased 30 potatoes, which I will always say...if you are going to order something that large from a restaurant, please be considerate and pre-order so they are prepared. You walking in and ordering that big of an order put the people behind you without some of their choices. No worries today...it's Mom's Day and I wasn't going to sway from getting BBQ for our dinner. 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!

Everything else was terrible. And please note by my reviews that I'm an easy grader. Went with my uncle for lunch. We each had the three meat plate. I chose fattier brisket, pastrami and ribs plus two sides. This came out to ~$36 each. Total bill for the two of us was over $100 by adding drink, cookie, tax and tip. My uncle got kielbasa, brisket and pastrami. Our guess is that the food is brought in sealed and they microwave or use some similar reheat method and do no "cooking" there. All of my meats were beyond dry. It's really hard to convey how dry. The ribs were the biggest terror point since not only was it as tough as leather but it tasted like it was doused in iodized salt. My uncle's plate was not any better. The kielbasa was sliced and overcooked so badly that the sliced edges were burnt and frayed - you've got to really try hard to screw up preserved sausage. I could only do a few bites and threw it all in the trash. They were getting busy and I was not going to stand back in line with trays of food to broach the problems. They make sure to ask for a tip at time of order but there's no service for quality control. My uncle texted me later in the day: "Today's restaurant was such an awful choice for BarBQ. I can't remember when I had worse. We have to go to a real good one next time." It is crazy how bad this lunch experience was and a rarity that Yelps score misses the mark so badly.
