    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!

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. We will absolutely be back, and we'll be asking for Brenden again.

You can build your own bowls from the bar with options like beef, ramen noodles, fish balls, tofu, seafood, greens, and more. The bowls are priced by the pound, and you can also build your own sauce. We were greeted upon entering. Since it was our first time, the kind staff patiently walked us through the process of building your own. 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. We couldn't wait to eat our leftovers the next day!

If you prefer feeling comfortable, then get the creamy malatang! 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!
