I am leaving this review because I want my community to do well. Do better. I have loved coming here (2nd compared to Gen, but still one of my favorites) for a while. Since they opened really. Recently, my family and I came to visit like we normally would and were sat in a reasonable time. This place is more of a squeeze, has small bathrooms, but emanates the spirit of a hardworking family/community. When we were first sat, they give you drinks/ban Chan (side dishes) and right away noticed the fish cakes tasted a little off. I saw what LOOKED like a sesame seed rolling around in the juices of the fish cake, but to our horror was some sort of small bug living his best life IN the banchan. Not like he just landed there, but was IN it. The owner reacted so nonchalantly and blamed it on the customers opening and closing the door. Upon further research, Manna BBQ received a D rating from the health department. I implore Manna and staff to please do better. Take food handling and cleanliness seriously. I'd love to come back and hopefully change my mind, but won't be for a while. read more

I love mannas bbq I was on this side of town so I decided to stop by it was 8:55 and they do last call at 9:30 which is completely fine I had called ahead to reassure myself they had the same policy. The "host/server" told me "we close at 9:30 you still want to eat" I replied yes and she proceeded to say "mmm" and walked away to find a table which they were all cleaned and not a single in had a grill. I understand it's late and they want to go home but the close time is 10pm read more

I've went to Manna a few times over the years. The place has very friendly staff and they are quick too! Personally, I think it is the best tasting AYCE kbbq spot. Better than Brave and others but it is more pricy than Brave's happy hour deal. The ambiance is decent. It can get a bit loud. read more

We have been to the Mana BBQ in California and it is sooo good!! There is one in Texas thats great too! I assumed this would be the same, however, this location had a different vibe. No one greats you when you come in. You can't get on the list via Yelp ahead of time....put your name and party size down on the clip board when you arrive. Staff seemed overworked and not friendly. Took a while for our waiter to come by and check in. The place is very small compared to other Korean BBQ spots so make it hard for employees to move around. Lots of food selections on their all you can eat menu, def something for every type of eater and their sides were fresh and tasty. Porkbelly was very thinly sliced, I think that is called bacon, would not order that again. Kalbi was tasty! read more

Our favorite place for Korean BBQ! Service is great! Loud inside because of the grills but each table has a decent amount of privacy! The women's bathroom is a thumbs down.. but other than that -- it's great! read more

Unfortunately never got to actually eat here. Came in on a Friday night my fault there. No host to take down our name luckily a patron let me know to write my name down waited 40 minutes. Saw a couple host/server running back and forth they were very busy but I would maybe recommend having a host on a busy night stay at the podium to direct patrons and let them know the estimated wait. When a host/server finally talked to us he explained that they close the kitchen in 30mins. Very disappointing because we could have gone somewhere else rather than waste 40-45 mins waiting around for nothing. read more

Although the food was delicious (compliments to the chef! ), the service was disappointing. We were one of the only new tables, as most others were getting ready to leave, yet the staff lacked urgency. Since it was our first time here, we mentioned that to our server, but she didn't explain much and kind of left us to fend for ourselves. When she mentioned the appetizers, she just said we were limited to two, but didn't clarify that it was two at a time and actually unlimited. That was confusing and could've been explained better. She took our initial order and then disappeared. Throughout our meal, we had to track down different servers just to order more meat or get refills. At one point, they left us alone so long that our grill started smoking because we had nothing left to cook. We even had to go looking for someone just to place our last order and pay because we knew we wouldn't see them for a while lol. I really enjoyed the food and would love to try Korean BBQ again, but unfortunately, I'll be looking for a different place with better service next time. read more

I think Manna BBQ is a solid spot. They are an all you can eat restaurant which is pretty nice. However due to that I think their overall quality of meat suffers a little. They have a good variety of sides and a wide selection of meat. The service and ambiance is nice as well. Waiters are very attentive and friendly. And the inside of the restaurant looks nice as well. They have a pretty long wait so if you want to eat here, come early or be prepared to wait an hour. read more

Variety of meat selection that tasted fresh and plenty of banchan. I like their marinaded meats & appetizers more than other kbbq spots. Service was quick and our waitress changed out our grill plate without us even having time to ask. It's located in Dobson Plaza next to Asiana market. read more

We had Manna for our anniversary dinner this year! We arrived just before 7PM on a Monday and there were several parties already waiting, including one party of 5. There was no host/hostess, instead, just a list you add your name and number of people in your party. Right above it is a list of rules/guidelines which includes remaining at Manna to be seated or risk being skipped. We waited about ~20-30 minutes and that was with 4-5 people in front of us. Being a party of 2, we were seated before the party of 5 before us (who knows how long they had been waiting/ended up waiting for). I appreciated that the table was already set with menus and banchan by the time we were seated, and that the server brought water over. You can order 3 things at a time. Service was okay; they are definitely understaffed so we put in an order every time we saw our server even if we weren't ready. We definitely ordered our money's worth (ACYE, $28): -Gyoza- 1 order comes with 2 -Corn Cheese- Best eaten hot or the cheese becomes congealed; literally just cheesy corn. -11. Chadol Baegi (Beef Brisket)- This is the thinly sliced beef you see everyone ordering. -13. Beef Belly- Like thick bacon. -14. Bulgogi- This was my favorite!! -15. YangNyum Galbi- Came separated in small pieces, making it easier to grill. -16. Manna Steak- Tough and unseasoned; season with the salt on the table. I would skip this. -28. Hawaiian Pork Belly- The canned pineapple makes it Hawaiian? -39. Vegetables- Huge slices of zucchini, mushroom, and onion that were not the best quality. For the price, it is a great value and more authentic than the popular chain ACYE Kbbq (you know which one). Quality is reflective of the price; good, but not the best, top cuts; you will have to pay for more expensive Kbbq for that! Go on an empty stomach to get your value's worth!! read more

Food was very tasteful and just the right amount of seasoning would definitely go back here again

Really solid KBBQ spot. A ton of options and very friendly staff. The menu and prices $26 per person is unbeatable for AYCE! We've been here and the Glendale location and this one is less busy but expect waits on weekend, holiday and roughly after 7 PM. Everything is good but I reccomend the spicy chicken, beef bulgogi, pineapple chicken, gyoza and corn cheese. Very laid back environment that is perfect for groups! read more

Server did not wash her hands!! I tried giving this place another try!!. I went to the restroom beforehand and one of the servers walked out of the restroom stall and tried continuing to walk past the sink and exit until she seen me. she then got startled because she saw me in the corner of her eye which made her back track & "wash" her hands. she DID NOT use soap. she wet her hands really quick and left. thank god she was not my server, if she was i would have left immediately. read more

All you can eat Korean style BBQ grill there's lot of different kinds of meat and appetizer you can choose

Amazing service every single time my boyfriend and I go or if I go alone. The employees are super friendly and always so helpful! The food is always so so good and never has any complaints!! I do like that they have movies or games playing on their tvs instead of loud music. read more

Wonderful service we sat right next to the kitchen so the food and drinks were given right away, but I really felt bad for the workers as their drain in the kitchen seems like it was not working it looks like it was hit with a hurricane with all the water it was really flooding badly very unsafe workplace for the workers. read more

Love this AYCE KBBQ spot! We were seated quickly on a Wednesday night. Once we were seated, the server asked if we're ready to order. Since we knew what we like, we were able to place in orders right away (drinks, apps and max of 3 meats per order - a lot of meat is provided each round). They change the grill often so the meats were never charred. It was pretty busy and it took some time to get our drinks refilled. We reminded our server for corn cheese since it didn't come out for us as the other table got their corn cheese. We ended up not receiving it but it worked out since we got full. Overall, still a good experience! The pricing is 28.99 per person. read more

Manna BBQ - Mesa - Beef tongue and Kalbi - Korean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Service was terrible. Won't be back again. We've been to this spot many times over the years and every time when we got guests in town we'd bring them here as well. service has always been slow but no problem I understand it's a busy restaurant... no server would ever be rude to us until this one last time we went, which was today, just now (had to write this review right away). We went around 6:30pm, waited for a table and when the table was finally ready the younger female server gave us two fingers?! To show us we could go sit there... and then she asked what we'd like to drink and that was it, never talked to us again. Ignored us every single time when she passed by us and we had to get the male server to come (he was very friendly btw)... even when I asked the female server for check she'd give me that facial expression like she didn't want us there. I've been a flight attendant for almost ten years and I deal with customers on a daily basis, hundreds of people per flight, and I'd never treat my passengers that way. Pretty sure I won't be back. read more

Great Korean BBQ. Good quality food. Great deal for the price. All you can eat. Good variety.

Korean BBQ is my absolute favorite cuisine, and Manna did not disappoint. You'll have about an hour wait, so plan accordingly. They might call your name early, so don't stray off for too long. If you haven't had this yet, you must give it a try. It's a blast because you'll order one thing and get forty-five plates. What an adventure. Here, it's $26 per person, AYCE for a maximum of two hours. You make it yourself and they ask you every now and then if you want to order more. Pace yourself, because they say they'll charge you if you don't finish what you ordered. What we ordered: Grilled veggies Garlic shrimp Garlic chicken Chadol baegi (beef brisket) Bulgogi Beef tongue Yangnyum galbi (marinated thin beef ribs) Steamed egg Green salad The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because my husband wanted to order soju, and was asking the waiter about the different ones they had, and the waiter said "I don't know, I don't drink." That was really weird, because it's not about what you personally do or don't. If you're a server, you should know your product, because you're the face of your business to your customers. So that rubbed us the wrong way. Otherwise, good dinner experience. read more

Wow, are you in for a treat! Manna BBQ has the meat! Enough meat to get you rolling and going. Normally AYCE places get petrified when I walk in because of my girth. I pack a sizable punch. Not here! They're very welcoming with open arms which I immediately begin to eat. Do not let the the wait line drive you away. It moves quickly. Once you are seated, please get ready and begin to feast. The people serving are quick, efficient, and serviceable waisting no time as they know you are on a time limit. PLUS, THEY HAVE SOJU!!! Chamisul Fresh Ju Se Yo! Bring friends! Bring family! Bring your Bestie Beastie! Just bring your appetite as Manna will be a sure hit. Ban Chan replenished properly without a court order. The quality of meats, pork and veggies is tremendous. Overall will impress even an Empress. *With a huge lot, parking is never an issue. Sometimes you'll park a bit far and may have to walk but think of how much more you'll eat with this exercise! *Depending on timing, long lines but restaurant is decent size so moves quickly. *Must make mention the have Soju in case you know someone interested :p As always, thank you for reading. Be kind and enjoy life read more

No longer coming back again. Long time customer of 7 years, used to love this place until what we experienced today. Have never had a waitress so rude. We were a small group of 3 coming to celebrate our friend's birthday, we sat down and ordered our first round of food, but never received our brisket. After our first order, our waitress decided to no longer help us for some reason? She was tending to other tables around us but would not come to us to check in or even make eye contact. We don't know what we did to deserve that, we are a quiet group and we don't complain. A second waitress finally came by after waiting a long time and we were able to place our 2nd order with her, but still never received the brisket we ordered. When the first waitress walked by we asked her if we could get our brisket and she shooed us away with her hand and walked away. Never seen a waitress do that ever. So disrespectful. Also never got a refill on our waters until we pointed it out and asked to speak with the manager. We only had 2 orders of food by the time we wanted to just leave this place. Spoke to manager, who said she would talk to them but not sure if anything will actually change. She offered us free ice cream to resolve the issue, we did not accept. Disappointed in how management handled the disrespect we received from the staff. read more

"I WAS NOT SATISFIED." - The mash potatoes were amazing - cucumbers were so good - kimchi was ok but to be honest that's all the sides I liked. I did not like that they did not chop the salad. There was huge pieces of ICEBERG lettuce. Don't like the greens they used. Just felt cheap. - we tried the spicy Bulgi was the best out of all the meats. - everything else, Hawaiian chicken, pork, goza, noddles, steak, spicy pork, chicken bolgogi was just a flat note. Wasn't impressed. SERVICE: - friendly - didn't seem that busy and it took forever to get our grill changed and out meats. At Korean BBQ restaurants is all about the flow of food because it's all you can eat and if there's a long pause in between orders it takes away from the excitement and you get full just waiting and eating the sides so you don't really get to enjoy the meat. Overall for the PRICE POINT OF $27 per person plus a charge penalty of $10 for over ordering and 18% gratuity for parties over 5 I just expected a more profound experience. TIPS FOR MANAGEMENT: FOCUS ON THE FLOW OF FOOD and have servers constantly check the table for sides and drinks. WILL I BE COMING BACK? NO! I will be at GEN KOREAN BBQ IN Tempe Market Place!! read more

The meat was very chewy, found a hair in the meat, and they replaced it. Servers were rude and I felt like we were being rushed to finish the food. The restaurant is too small in my opinion. read more

Service is quick and speedy, food came out within a timely manner with how busy it was at the time, and the ambiance is much more relaxed and chill in comparison to Galbi BBQ or Gen, which is what I prefer. Food is pretty good for the price you are paying for. read more

Went here last week with a group of friends. The service was complete crap. Sorry to be rude but it really was. Such a shame because the food is pretty good as always. First the woman who was watching over us, i understand she was the only one running 7 other tables it seems. So it was fine when she was rushing us, that was whatever. But when we weren't talked to for 30 minutes and asked another girl to stop and help us, she looked visibly upset that we had disturbed her. Finally the reason I am writing this review. There is a guy who thinks he is "funny". He came to see what out table was upto, my friend who is east Asian decided he wanted 3 more plates instead of 1, to my other friend who is Hispanic and i this was kind of funny as we were full to the brim, so another 3 plates was wild to us. We giggled to which the waiter side eyed us. After he was done taking my east Asian friend's order. He looked at us girls and when "you why are you laughing at him, i am feeling racism vibes, are you laughing because he is yellow". Now to me who is south Asian, i took this as such an insult. I got serious and was about to say something but he left quickly before I could even open my mouth. Guy came back and decided to ask my East asian friend "what kind of Asian are you?...... well because you act as a white guy, but atleast you're better than those two racist ladies there". I am appalled, and quite frankly this has cause the restaurant to go from my most favourite to the lowest on the list. Not coming back. A note to that guy. You are racist yourself. read more

$26.99 for ACYE KBBQ, KIDS 5-10YRS OLD $12.99 In addition to the banchans (side dishes) that comes with the meal, we also ordered STEAMED EGG, CORN CHEESE, JAPCHAE, FRIED RICE, GREEN SALAD, FRIED CHICKEN, GYOZA, & TOFU SOUP as our appetizer/fillers. All of these were really good. We didn't even get white rice because we wanted to save our stomachs. This place fills up quickly. Servers are diligent in getting the orders in & the food came out fast. For the meats, we ordered BEEF BRISKET, BEEF BELLY, GALBI, BONELESS SHORT RIB, HAWAIIAN PORK BELLY, & MANNA STEAK. I will say the Manna steak was our least favorite because it was TOUGH but all the other meats were good quality. Between 3 people we put away a lot of food & was so full we didn't even eat dinner. This is a solid place for AYCE but it'll probably be a while before I come back because I don't think my cholesterol & blood pressure can handle it read more

Worth every penny! $30 AYCE , the meats were so delicious and flavorful. The appetizers included as well. Tip is to order small portion of things you want to try and then whichever is your favorite order again in a large portion. Top faves were bulgogi, garlic shrimp, galbi, ramen, and glass noodles. We will be back! Service was awesome , super friendly and attentive staff. read more

NOT MY FAVORITE AZ KBBQ SPOT I came with a large group of 7 to throw a going away party for a coworker who is moving states. We wanted to go to GEN, but they always have long wait times, especially for large groups, and do not do reservations. We had a reservation for 7:30 and got seated around 7:45 in the back where they have larger tables! They had kpop music playing in the front of the restaurant, but not in the back unfortunately. It was silent, and the TVs were playing some random channel with ads. It would be a fun touch to maybe play kpop music videos or Korean dramas on the TVs like some other KBBQ restaurants do. Our server was so friendly, funny, and helpful though! We loved her from start to finish. In terms of food, this is not my favorite place. A lot of the meat was too fatty, and not in a melt-in-your-mouth kind of way. I'm not sure what exact meat was what, but we believe it was the chadol and the bulgogi that were really fatty. The side dishes were okay, it was not the best kimchi ever, which is always a big determiner of how I rank a Korean restaurant. The side salad was not my favorite compared to some of the other KBBQ restaurants. The corn cheese was great though, just be sure to eat it fresh while the cheese is still melted! The gyoza was nice and crisp and they gave us a lot of it in our order! All in all, I would only return for large gathering perhaps if I'm invited. I wouldn't go out of my way to return here when I'm craving KBBQ. read more

This was my first time trying Korean BBQ and I was NOT disappointed. Super cool concept and all the different meats were delicious. There was not one food item that I did not like. I have been craving this meal ever since I went - too bad it's so far from me! I might have to take a trip back to Phoenix just for this place, I am getting hungry just thinking about it! The only reasons I took off a star was because of the service. While it was fast, they forgot items each time and didn't really explain which items were which. Overall, it was fine, but we had to ask for items over and over. We had to wait a bit (which was fine, it was Valentines Day), but the process was very disorganized. There isn't really a host so it gets confusing as to what you are supposed to do when you walk in. Also we sat right next to a phone that rang nonstop the entire visit without anyone picking it up. read more

Sam was our server, he was excellent, super attentive, extremely knowledgeable and happy to share, and super friendly. Having never been to a cook your own, all you can eat Korean BBQ, and having read the rules that sound kind of strict, we figured we'd rarely see our server when we wanted more meat. We were totally wrong! Sam was right there anytime we needed anything and our meat orders came as often as we wanted it, and quickly! The Bulgogi beef and short ribs were incredible, our favorite by far. The banchans were fresh and delicious and included kimchee, radish, cucumber, fish cake (nope!), bean sprouts, and a scoop of mashed potato that looked like ice cream. All were excellent, but no fish cakes pass these lips (again, blek no matter where I get them). We cooked some veggies including very large mushroom stem slices and zucchini, and onion. With so much meat available, I couldn't bring myself to use much of the grill for veggies, they were alright. We tried a few pork meats but didn't love them, they were fresh and beautiful, just not our flavor after the bulgogi beef and short ribs,...man we're they good! Tried the beef tongue, but it was pretty chewy and we were packed. We also ordered the kimchee soup which was delicious. Both the cold kimchee and the kimchee soup/stew were stellar! Love kimchee. The soft steamed egg was also very good. Garlic shrimp and gyoza were good too. We started with a salad, Sam recommended we share one, he was spot on, it was huge and the dressing was excellent. Even though we ate way too much, we'll be ready and willing to go back soon. This was genuinely a five star experience all around. Great service, comfortable atmosphere with lots of TV's around, it was clean and for $27.99 for all that high quality, non-stop food, it can't be beat! Can't wait to go back! read more

Great AYCE Korean bbq spot! What sets this place apart is on the AYCE menu you can also get bibimbab, ramen and other sides like that I haven't seen many other places.
