    Place has definitely gone downhill. Staff ain't friendly at all. Only when the check comes and they want their tip for doing their job. The food is low quality, our meat was grey one time. Rice paper tasted old. They had all the extra side dishes waiting on a table for 10-15 minutes before they sat us there. So our food was just sitting there. We ordered bulgogi and we definitely did not get normal bulgogi meat, which is usually tender. This was definitely briskets that was seasoned in the same sauce the bulgogi is usually in. I always try to avoid this manna because last 3 times had been terrible. Go to their convoy location for the best. Mira mesa is okay. But this San Marcos one is terrible.

    The food is good, the service is fine, even when there is no rush it is a bit slow. They recently introduced screens to order however the orders don't always go through and you have to either order again or through a worker. Though with the speed of service it's hard to tell whether the order goes through or not. (The workers are very kind and fun!) We do enjoy the ice cream bar at the front!

    Manna San Marcos has the nicest staff out of everwhere else! The corn cheese was amazing (: Come to this location, it has a nice ambiance (: The windows are coveres so theres no sunlight but it was still a nice vibe compared to the Mira Mesa location.

    The service was amazing! Would totally come back again and did you know the ICE CREAM IS INCLUDED !! They have vanilla, chocolate and green tea ice cream. I would come back again. Lunch was not busy on a thursday and would highly recommend this place.

    Excellent deal and has grown to be one of our favorite KBBQ spots, despite living on Convoy street for 12+ years. Took a friend from out of town there today he loved it! Our favs are the pork jowl, short ribs, garlic pork belly, beef belly, spicy pork bulgogi, and the ribeye. Also, dont sleep on any of the chicken options, it's always tender and juicy! Sides are all pretty solid too. Love the large portions of onion, jalapeno, and garlic. Least exciting thing there is the banchan, but there's so much to choose from that you don't miss it, plus they bring out a free large side of japchae. Service is pretty good too - prompt and friendly and now they have tablets on the table that allow you to continue to summon additional menu items. However, I noticed there wasn't an option to request additional napkins, silverware, or utinsels on the tablet. Only recommendation for service here would be that they try to clear out plates a bit faster to keep your table cleaner and still appetizing. Ambiance is a little off with the French artwork. Seems out of place, but I feel like you're always too busy and distracted at a KBBQ place to really bother noticing these little things.

    Service is ok the server ladies are very monotone, and selective about who they are friendly and cheerful with... Worst part was I found A HAIR in the noodles and they were not even apologetic about it.

    Great food and service. Everything was as good as it gets. Service was excellent. Ambiance was great with a re-model. We will definitely be back. Jennifer our server did a fantastic job and had a great sense of humor especially when she called me a baby and sever me some Korean milk to which my wife totally agreed. I would leave her and Manna 10 stars if I could.

    Do we have to make a reservation?

    No, you can walk in and be put on their waitlist. Their wait time can be long on the weekend.

    What is the soy sauce they use/serve? It is really good but I'm not sure it's just plain soy sauce. I want to buy it or try to make it at home but I'm not sure if it's a specific brand or what ingredients?

    Hello there, it is manna house made sauce that has soy sauce as an ingredient. We do sell sauce by itself at each restaurant. Have a great weekend

    Do you need a reservation for a group of 5 or 6?

    Mostly Yes, Manna is very busy on weekend but maybe Monday-Thursday you can just walk in. We reserved through yelp App and it helps because they tell you how much estimated time is left.

    What is the lunch dine in price?

    30 and up

    For bigger groups...Do we all have to order from the ALCE menu or can some get a bento box? Or entree?

    Hello! Dine in is for ayce only. Thank you!

    Is there still indoor dining?

    Yes! You have to sign in on an iPad, and get your temperature taken before being seated inside.

    Are they still offering all you can eat?

    Yes we do! Thank you!

    "Dine-out" is available. They have tents and tables set up outside and the portable grills available too.

    How much is it per person? What are the menu prices?

    $25-$28/pp depending on the menu option you go for.

    Hey! Just wondering when you guys will be open again?

    We are just waiting for government to allow us to open. We are opening as soon as government order is removed :) we cant wait to serve you guys again soon!

    No. You have to order one item on the menu and your mimosa separately. Make sure to order the endless mimosas.

    Do they have an area that will seat a large group?

    It's pretty roomy there.. not sure if there is a secluded area, but the main area is large where they could put lots of tables together.

    Does it have to be a group of 2 or more or can I just go on my own?

    Ive seen singles there many times. I dont believe there is a rule on needing more than one person.

    Do they have a vegetarian option?

    Besides the sides you receive (lettuce with dressing, glass noodles, kimchi, potato salad etc.) They offer limited veggies to grill. They also have soups and steamed egg, if you eat egg.

    Lunch pricing or specials?

    No specials that I saw. The prices are for two options menu A with more variety of meat and seafood (pretty much menu A and B combined) for $27.99 or menu B has a few choices for $22.99.

    Do they have kids prices? If so what's the age range and how mich is it?

    I know my 10 year old was half price, but I didn't ask what the age range is for kids.

    for nearly two years, Scout, my orange, husky-looking mut and I have been driving by their…read morenow-shuttered Encinitas location four times a week after playdates at Power Lines Dog Park. every time we do, I think "we gotta back there for another visit." pretty sure CHIKO has aged out of my draft queue. now that I've finally gotten around to finishing the review, they've been closed for months. in the draft, I suggested CHIKO might not be a destination restaurant, but if you happen to be in the neighborhood, it's definitely a place worth stopping by for eats. if you wait long enough, like I did, the nearest ones are in the DC area and probably not worth a cross-country trip. sad.

    Post-mortem... I was sad to hear that CHIKO permanently closed their doors at the end of last year…read more It's rare for an East Coast based Asian chain restaurant to migrate to California, but that was what CHIKO did. As noted by its name, this place served a fusion of Chinese and Korean cuisines. Their Encinitas location took over what used to be a roadside diner along N Coast Hwy 101. The seating capacity was less than 40 people which included a few high-top counter spots. At my last visit, I came for a late dinner before their closing time. A large menu was posted on the wall behind the service counter that listed about two dozen food offerings. The items seemed to be comfort food like pot stickers, spring rolls, fried rice, and chicken wings but flavored with unique combinations of seasonings and spices. I started my meal with the Marinated Beef Tri-Tip Skewers which came as a set of three and a Chinese mustard for dipping. The meat was very tender and well-seasoned. I also ordered the Cumin Lamb Stir Fry which the cashier said was medium spicy. After tasting a couple of bites of the noodles from the serving bowl, I agreed that the heat level was moderate, even for my palate. I thought the portion size should have been more for the price. That was my main criticism for both items, otherwise the food was solid for an Asian fusion eatery.
