    Best Manna location in San Diego. Service is great and they have tablets on every table for easy ordering. The wait is never long as well. Favorite item is of course the beef belly. The corn cheese also come out cooked here and you don't have to make it yourself!

    I've been to other locations but this was my first time at the Otay location. I met my friend here for lunch and we did the All you can eat A2 menu. When you walk in, it's decorated beautifully inside with light signs and greenery overhead. The booth we sat at hardly had enough room for our legs under the table but we made it work. We started with the salad and Bonchon which were all pretty good but the salad i had to mix a little more to get the dressing on all the lettuce. The bonchon was fish cakes, blanched spinach, potato salad, kimchi, pickled onions and beans sprouts. All very great options! We ordered the pork dumplings, Soon Dubu (tofu stew), Manna Ramen, Ssamjang (fermented soy bean paste), corn cheese, cheese fondue and white rice. The pork dumplings were pretty good, nice and crispy on the outside and well seasoned kn the inside. The Soon Dubu was pretty good but the flavor wasn't the same as the other locations, it had a lot more veggies in it than I've had before also. The Manna Ramen was also pretty good, the noodles were cooked perfectly and I like that they had an option for spicy or mild and corn or no corn. The Ssamjang was really thick so I added water to it to make it more like a sauce than a paste and it was still really good. The corn cheese was good but the edges of it were pretty burnt. The cheese fondue is always a nice treat to have on the gril. And the white rice was cooked perfectly. For meats we stuck to beef belly, beef brisket and pork belly. The beef belly was cut thin, had a good amount of fat on it and cooked pretty quickly. The beef brisket was cut thicker than I at the other Manna locations which caught me off guard when I took a bite. Still good quality meet. The pork belly we got was significantly smaller than what I have had at other Manna locations so when it cooked it shrank even more and ended up crispy and not really how I would've preferred to have it.. I dipped each meat in the Ssamjang and the side of sesame oil n salt and the cheese fondue and it was all pretty delicious. The service was very minimal since we used the tablet to place our order. The servers brought the meats out pretty quick but the sides did take a bit of time to see come out. Overall, a good Korean BBQ spot and definitely worth paying a visit!

    First time at Manaa BBQ in Chula Vista and y'all... I get the hype. I stopped in for lunch and ordered from the A1 menu--which was stacked with solid choices. The meat was tender, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. Everything tasted fresh, not overly salty or sauced-up, and the portions were just right for lunchtime. It didn't feel like one of those "meh" lunch deals either--it actually hit the spot! Service was fast, the team was friendly, and I didn't have to flag anyone down just to get extra sides or a refill. The place wasn't too crowded either, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and low-key. Now let's talk parking-- San Diego people, you know the struggle... but Chilveston? She's not like the others. Parking wasn't a nightmare. I found a spot easily without needing to summon the parking gods. All in all: Fire lunch, good vibes, and easy in-and-out. I'll 100% be back to try the full menu and bring friends next time.

    My first time trying this place with my family and boyfriend, we enjoyed so much! The food was delightfully flavorful and they were very responsive and friendly. We ordered on the iPad and our meat and sides would come within a couple minutes. They had a busy and vibey ambiance. Of course had to end the night with icecream dessert, so many options to choose from. If you're ever in the Chula Vista area I recommend trying this spot out!

    Went to Manna with my family to celebrate my sister's birthday. We got the A2 AYCE menu and the food and service were both good. The only downside was how loud it was inside, it was hard to hear each other talk.

    Macaroon Ice Cream

    Probably the best Korean BBQ I've had! The service is great and super fast, only took a couple minutes to get our food once the order was placed. Even with the restaurant pretty busy, the noise wasn't too bad. You can get a free scoop of ice cream on your way out as well or pay $4 for an ice cream macaroon which is AMAZING!

    Chadol baegi. Yum yum yum!

    Loved that they renovated the place! It looks so good, food is always amazing. And the service is top notch. They make you feel like you're at home.
