    Always satisfied when eating here! Got seated right away, and although there were only 2 servers during lunchtime, they both did such a good job of being attentive!

    ​I have been to Mana Korean BBQ in Westgate hundreds of times and love the food and the lively, upbeat atmosphere here. Tonight the food was great as usual, but the service we received was incredibly disappointing. ​Our server, Jinsoo, made us feel completely invisible. Despite the busy, energetic environment around us, he failed to check on our table even once, forcing us to wave him down or yell across the room for basic requests. To make matters worse, he repeatedly cut us short during ordering, forgot multiple items, and never offered refills--actively avoiding eye contact the whole night. Management seriously needs to address this. When the food and vibe are this good, a server shouldn't be ruining the entire experience for a loyal regular.

    A favorite of the (older) kids. Wait system is effective. Servers are very knowledgeable and efficient with the tabletop grill. They change out the sizzle plate as needed. Great veggie and side dish options. Meat options are also great with marinaded and prepared dishes. I do like that it doesn't feel like you are dining too close to others and that you are tucked away in your own secluded and spacious booth that could comfortably seat 4-6 adults. Great conversational dining experience.

    This was my first time ever experiencing Korean BBQ. So what a fun idea for my daughter's birthday celebration dinner. It was a little confusing at first because of the lack of explanation we received from our waitress, however we caught on pretty easily. Appetizers, meat choices and sides were all delicious! Our party of 7 did not leave hungry! The portions of meat are small but very filling and it's all you can eat and we did! My only complaint was the size of the tables. I would prefer to have sat at a high top where there seemed to be more room and more stoves to accommodate bigger parties.

    We love it here! We come a lot, we usually have the same server. But the last 2 times have been different ones. Both are really nice and we even had busser make us a specific sauce and bring us shots! It was nice. This is our FAVE Spot in town! We literally come once a month. Tonight Duh was our server and he was on it! Speedy and kept checking on us. We appreciated his service

    This was my first experience at Manna! I had a friend recommend this place and so I went with a friend and my 2 kids. The waiter explained how it worked we ordered our drinks and meat. It was definitely an experience to cook the meat at the table but fun! Overall I enjoyed the food but not really my jam, I come ready to eat lol! It was cute and cozy and was busy since the location is at Westgate. This is a place worth trying if you like Korean BBQ!

    AYCE. But quality of food is just ok. Service: 1) you can only order 2 per items at a time. The server took the order and the food actually arrived. 2) then the server disappeared. 3) the server finally came back after 10 minutes, took your orders then poof, MIA again, but this time, the food never came because the server totally forgot about your order, wait, order, wait and repeat. It was quite frustrated because we had to catch a movie afterwards. Food: Banchan - only 3 things but tasty Japchae - it's ok. Great and no veggies. Soon Dubu (tofu stew) - good flavor but not much tofu. More like a soup Corn cheese - not that great. Looks like they just pour some milk or cream on the corn, then top with cheese. Meat - Galbi, bulgogi, etc all good Make sure to plan accordingly, time wise.

    This was my first time coming here and I would definitely come back. It is $30/per person + ~$3/soda making it around $70 for two people to dine (not including tip). We dined for about an hour and a half before we were full and ordered... * 6 different types of meat * dumplings * fried chicken * 2 bowls of fried rice * transparent noodles * 2 sodas Everything was super tasty and portioned well. Was disappointed they didn't offer taiyaki in their dessert menu.

    Corn cheese noodles green salad gyoza etc

    We love Mana! We come here as a family of 4. We always are able to order as many meats at a time as we want. We are always brought cucumbers, sprouts, ginger, kimchi, and some fish item every time we are sat. This is from a very busy Saturday night and we got the same amazing service as always!! We have always had different servers but the same great service each time. They always have the tvs on games. The lighting and noise level is perfect If you haven't come by and are considering, this is your sign to come and try it out! You won't be disappointed!

    Sooo bomb fr, me and my wife love it. There's always plenty to eat. Place be busy, don't be afraid to stop them

    Last minute decision for k bbq, and they had about a 30 minute wait which was expected with k bbq! Lively atmosphere walking in and friendly staff. Our server was super nice and accommodating, but the food was pretty average, the potatoes weren't the best which is usually a weirdly favorite part of my kbbq experience. Lol The one thing that really made my partner and I almost get sick, was the bathroom smell. After going there it made us almost loose the appetite. So if you are sensitive to smells, go to another bathroom! I was going to give this a 4 star because the food was pretty good but but the bathroom situation really impacted the experience.

    A friend and I ate here for the first time on Friday night. I do enjoy a good Korean BBQ but have only been to a few different establishments. This was by far my favorite. The prices, selections, staff, and restaurant itself were excellent. We both got the "All you can eat" for $30. I started with the Menna "Signature" steak, spicy pork belly and beef tongue. All were delicious. My friend ordered mostly garlic shrimp with beef, pork, and chicken bulgogi. Lady loved all three of her bulgogi proteins its safe to say. She said her shrimp was great as well. She also had a bowl of Soon Dubu she enjoyed. Pork dumpling appetizers were cooked perfectly. On my second order I tried garlic pork belly, teriyaki chadol, and more beef tongue. The beef tongue was my favorite. Thinly sliced and oh so tender! My third and final order consisted of MORE beef tongue, beef bulgogi, and pork bulgogi. I can't think of one thing we didn't love. Oh, their kimchi was second to none. There were some veggies in there too, we're not ALL heathen. FRESH mushrooms, onions, garlic, and zucchini accompanied our meal. Last but not least was our server Sunny (Sonny?). She was very patient and friendly. She did a great job at recommending new items (to us). My iced tea was never empty and she was very attentive. We'll definitely be return soon!!

    Meat is not fresh, service is terrible. Not the same as the one in SD. Too much tenderizer on the meat. Beef tongue comes in shredded pieces

    What is the price to eat again?

    I believe it's in the low 30s all you can eat. Not sure about pricing for children. Just check out their website for more information.

    Do you charge for uneaten food? If so how much?

    They do charge for uneaten meat. I believe it's a small percentage. They let you pick 3 meats at a time so you can pace yourself. Best to go in a group of like 3-4 to make sure when getting the meat it's all eaten and you don't have to worry about… Read more

    My favorite Korean spots in Arizona since there weren't that many Korean spots in Glendale!…read moreHowever, they have some pretty authentic Korean dishes! Parking is pretty small so parking can be a little difficult when it gets busy! Service is decent and they are very friendly but could be more attentive. It is pretty spacious inside with plenty of indoor seating. However, it can get pretty loud when it is busy so it might be hard to hear one another They offer Korean BBQ but it isn't all you can eat, as well as Korean dishes (tofu soup, bulgogi, bibimbap, etc.), and sushi. There is even a lunch special menu Mon-Fri 11-2:30pm and has a good selection of bento boxes! I've gotten their beef teriyaki bento box and it came with rice, salad, 2 piece California rolls, and 2 pc fried gyozas. Pricing is $13-20 The beef teriyaki is pretty tender, flavorful, and not too salty. The salad is underwhelming and didn't have fresh greens. The fried gyozas were decent, nothing special. The California rolls were ok, not bad. I would say it's 7/10. The bibimbap was very fresh and delicious but a little pricey ($18.95). The bulgogi was marinated very well and rice was super crispy inside the hot stone bowl. Seafood tofu soup was pretty good and not too overly salty. It was very flavorful and the tofu was very soft. I would say it's 8/10 Would definitely recommend and return

    If Korean BBQ is all about abundance, flavor, and the experience of gathering around a sizzling…read moregrill, Manna BBQ delivers on all three fronts. This meal was a satisfying all-you-can-eat feast that balances quality meats, traditional Korean side dishes, and crowd-pleasing appetizers, topped by superior service from Jimmy. From the moment the food arrived, the presentation set the tone. The table was quickly filled with colorful banchan (Korean side dishes), including kimchi, cucumber salad, bean sprouts, pickled radish, fish cake, and potato salad. While these sides may seem simple, they play an important role in Korean BBQ, providing contrast to the rich grilled meats. The kimchi was fresh and vibrant, with a bright red color with plenty of spice and fermentation. The appetizers looked like a strong start to the meal. The japchae (glass noodles) were well-seasoned, offering a slightly sweet and savory flavor profile. The gyoza had a crisp golden exterior, suggesting a satisfying crunch before giving way to a savory filling. One standout appetizer was the corn cheese--a bubbling skillet of sweet corn and melted cheese that looked indulgent, comforting, and impossible to resist. The fried chicken also deserves mention; the crispy coating was perfectly golden and paired with a vibrant dipping sauce that added a sweet-spicy kick. The real star, however, was the barbecue itself. The platters of raw meat has excellent variety, with beautifully marbled cuts that promised flavor before they even hit the grill. Steak, in particular, was thick-cut and rich, tender and well-marbled. Once grilled, the meat developed an appealing caramelized exterior with just the right amount of char. There is something uniquely enjoyable about cooking your own food, sharing dishes, and pacing the meal at your own speed. The tabletop grill becomes the center of the dining experience, encouraging conversation and making the meal feel more like an event than simply dinner. The restaurant's atmosphere appears casual, clean, and focused on the food. The grill setup was well-integrated into the tables, and the overall dining area looked comfortable without unnecessary distractions. The emphasis remained where it should be: on the endless flow of food. For the price point shown on the menu, the value appears excellent. The combination of unlimited appetizers, numerous beef and pork options, seafood selections, and traditional Korean side dishes offers plenty of variety. Diners can sample multiple proteins and flavors without feeling restricted to a single entrée. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned Korean BBQ enthusiast, this is a meal worth gathering friends and family around the grill for.

    TL;DR The variety of food and some excellent service are…read morewhat brings us back. Notable lesson: Ask your server to let you know when the last order will be taken. Ambiance: Large dining area with ample seating. I'm partial to booths and this establishment has plenty. They also have tables in case you're not up for the AYCE. This is a place to enjoy food with others, especially with a grill in between. Not a fan of the smoke off the grill? There are no drop down exhaust fans that block conversations, but they're built into the table. Is it smokeless in the dining area? All I can say is if I can describe what people are having four tables away from me, I think it's alright. Food: Variety and choice meats are important, and they are both above sufficient for the two hours you get to dine AYCE. Whether you're an adventurous eater or not, there is something for everyone. I do stress it is a grilled food restaurant, so try not to expect much of some items like their bibimbap. Also, AYCE does not include drinks unless it's water. Service: We enjoyed every server we've had, but three stood out. Let's begin with the two who were especially unforgettable for good reasons. Emilee and Kelvin, thank you for your excellent service. Emilee's smile and manner made us feel welcomed and comfortable. As many tables as we saw her cater to, she never let us feel ignored. Kelvin is also a great team player. Just as knowledgeable of the menu as Emilee, he also jumped in to help so that none of the tables were left waiting. Both served us very well, and left us supremely impressed. When there is a time limit, this is absolutely important. No customer wants to feel like they paid too much to receive so little and wait for so long, regardless if it's AYCE. Which brings us to Sue. My husband remembers Sue as the server who refused to take our order after an hour, but most of her service time spent changing the grill (which is bizarre considering she didn't take many orders from us; more on that later). We sat at one of her eight booths at 11:34 am, and she abandoned us after taking two orders and changing our grill multiple times. Maybe Sue expected us to order all the items we wanted, stack all those orders on top of each other for the first hour, then the second hour we should just eat and not bother her anymore. I understand she didn't have a helpful team member, making service slow. I'm sure she knew her limits and so was quick to serve fillers like corn cheese and gyeran jjim. Another notable fact is our receipt showed we ordered multiples of items, but we NEVER recieved as many plates as she entered (because she didn't come to our table that many times to allow us to order). I am sorely disappointed she literally abandoned us for 30 minutes when we wanted to make our last order. When she finally came back to us at 1 pm, about 1.5 hours after being seated, she told us we've been seated longer than two hours and she can't serve us anymore. How did we pass the two hour limit when the restaurant opens at 11:30 am and she stopped serving us at 12:40 pm. If she had not abandoned our table and took our last order at 12:40 pm, we would have finished and left before the two hour time limit. Overall: 3.5 stars but rounding up because of other well-mannered representatives like Emilee's sister. 5 stars for all the times we visited and were not served by Sue. 2.5 star experience being served by Sue. Please don't enter orders that were not delivered; that seems fraudulent. Please be transparent with your customers when it comes to AYCE rules and your capability.
