Our local Bulgogi place retired and we haven't found another local place we like so we drove an hour to see how Manna Korean BBQ was! We met a school friend and enjoyed ALL THE MEATS!! Service was friendly and speedy and the ambiance was perfect for family conversation over food!! I cannot say enough about the amount of food for the price either!!! Well worth the drive!!!! read more

Manna Korean BBQ - Carrollton - You place the order right at the tablet on your table and food just starts coming!! - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

We've been several times this past year, and I would say that the service continues to get worst and worst each time we visit. They've automated most of the ordering to a tablet on each table/section, which is nice, but if you need any extras or refills it takes forever to get a waitress to the table and when they do arrive they are half listening to you or just don't really care to help. We love the food and the bon chon, but we unsure if we are going to come back to this location due to the service. read more

This place is pretty good! The only complain I have is with the speed of service. There's a button on the ipad to call for your waiter/waitress but mine wouldn't come when I pressed the button so I would have to wave them over. Also, sometimes my order would not come out with all the items I ordered, so I would have to order them again. I liked the ipad though, less talking, more eating lol. The servers and bussers were really nice - always making sure we're okay and asking if we need anything. The meat is also pretty yummy , especially the prime steak, boneless galbi, and pork belly. I like the different menu items as well: Ramyun, corn cheese, steamed egg, etc. read more

The chadol is my favorite. It cooks fast and is delicious when crispy. Heat level at 3 cooks it perfectly. The thinly sliced pork belly is also good. The (Nuk San sol) steak is good too. The steamed egg and tofu soup are good too. I bought my family here and they really liked the food. read more

Pretty empty on a Tuesday night and we were a large party of 8 or so. The service was ok, we were not greeted walking in or offered drinks. Everything goes through the iPad which is ok but it was our first time and we had questions. For AYCE, it's worth the price for what you get. Not that many side dishes but you can order corn cheese and other soups as part of AYCE. read more

The food was amazing!! Everything had amazing flavor without having to use any extra sauces. My wife loved the fact she got to try marinated veal intestines, and she said they tasted amazing! The ambiance was upbeat and inviting. Had multiple TVs playing many different shows. The service was phenomenal. Our grill was constantly changed so it didn't burn or stick. My drink was consistently full, and our water, Jin, was extremely nice and helpful when I had questions about something on the menu. 10/10 definitely eating here again! read more

Quick disclaimer: This was my first time trying Korean bbq so I have no idea about the authenticity of the offerings here. All I know is everything that I had was great! They had plenty of different types of beef, chicken, and shrimp options. All of them tasty. As for service, everything was pretty automated. Meats and sides are ordered via touch screen at the table, and items are delivered by the coolest little robot waiter. Grill elements are changed out by human servers frequently and they were also ready to help with explaining items I was unfamiliar with and cutting larger items into smaller sizes so they could cook faster. Overall, very cool experience. Definitely recommend for older kids (they'll love the robot) read more

Okay this may be my new favorite kbbq place! AYCE and so so good. The quality and flavors are so good. The meats are moist and the sides are amazing. Such a fan! Very efficient service too read more

We came at opening on a Tuesday and were very impressed with service and quality. There's plenty of seating and there are fans that help keep the smoke from hitting you in the face. The menu has a nice selection but I was disappointed they they didn't have short ribs, but rather they had the boneless option which isn't as good in my opinion. The scallion salad and regular salad were phenomenal, along with the tofu soup. We really enjoyed the bulgogi along with the pork cheek. The ban chan here wasn't quite my favorite, since I've become accustomed to my own style, but they still weren't bad at all. Overall I'd definitely come back for the delicious bulgogi and scallion salad. read more

So surprised that Manna's rating isn't higher! While the quality of the meats aren't the best, I still think it's pretty decent, especially for the price! The menu options are pretty extensive and the servers are quick with bringing out orders, coming when you ring for them, and switching out the grills. I mean, I did wish they had some other banchan like cucumbers and mashed potatoes. But the main focus is on the meat and sides anyways! And the corn cheese and steamed egg were so good. read more

Great food and service. The food on the buffet line was very fresh. The selection of meat was good and also very fresh. Their broths are pretty blah. Nothing to particularly complain about, though. The only thing I could say is a downside of this place is the pricing for kids was pretty high and parking can get a bit crowded since it's located in a pretty bustling plaza. Otherwise it was a great experience and you get a good bang for the buck. Don't forget to ask for ice cream. It's included. :) read more

My first time visiting here was very underwhelming. I'm used to KBBQ in my home state and I expected a high quality experience similar to ones I've had and the AYCE price seemed reasonable ($30). However I was disappointed by the service and amount of food we received. We ordered off the little iPad but our items took forever to come and some didn't come at all. They also have a robot serving dishes which is cool and all but it wasn't particularly helpful for our table. We had to ask multiple servers what was going on with our orders and to check the system in case ours weren't going through to the kitchen. They started to seem annoyed with us constantly flagging them down but we shouldn't have to beg for our orders if we're being made to use an electronic system so clearly something is wrong. I usually always feel full from AYCE at KBBQ but this was the one time I didn't feel satisfied because half our meats and side dishes never came! They also turned off our burners thinking we were done eating but we were really just sitting there waiting for the rest of our food to come. If you ask if they do anything for birthdays, they will bring a small moon pie with a candle in it and play the happy birthday song which is something. While the food we did get was tasty, I'd rather patronize other AYCE KBBQ spots. read more

I think this place is a solid AYCE!!! Lots of side dish options, solid quality for what you pay for, and it's really easy to order off of the tablet on the table. Service is also fast! read more

We went during lunch but it seems like items and price is the same as dinner regardless. Overall one of the best kbbq places i've been to though, really yummy food and fast service. We had the chadol, beef belly, thinly sliced pork belly, scallion salad, steamed egg, and corn cheese and everything was sooo good. Will come again :D don't know if it was just my table or not but it was a little cramped tho, not much leg room, my knees were pressed against the table the whole time zzz but yeah read more

had a great dinner with a party of 5 on the weekend . they seem to prioritize larger parties, so it wasn't much of a wait for us. i'd recommend attempting to make a reservation if you're a larger group or on a date. the grills are changed out very frequently, and everything is ordered through a tablet and brought to you. i'd definitely recommend this spot, you can't beat a 30 dollar AYCE! read more

Manna Korean BBQ - Carrollton - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

Cheap kbbq! You will get lower quality but it's AYCE for $28.99 so you can't miss with that. Service and seating was extremely clean and attentive so it's great to go in a big group. We tried a few meats. 1. Beef brisket: 7/10. Very fatty compared to regular brisket. Nothing too bad 2. Spicy pork belly: 8/10. The cut of meat was so good and marinated but it wasn't really spicy. If they add more gochujang to it Itd be perfect. 3. Teriyaki squid: 7/10. Honestly it's only 2 bites and it's not too bad. It's more chewy. 4. Cajun shrimp: 3/10. Very hard to eat and all the seasoning is on the shell- so it kind of goes away once you peel it. First kbbq place I've been to that serves unpeeled shrimp. I'd skip this option. 5. Boneless galbi: 7/10. Very small portion and the cut of meat was somewhat tough? 6. Manna signature prime steak: 8/10. Extremely tender. Wish it was marinated better. The steam eggs were so fluffy but was missing the traditional touch of sesame oil. Same with the jjigae side soup- it was great but just missing a touch of something. I'd go here if your in a budget or with someone who doesn't typically eat Korean food. read more

Nice and clean place. One of the best Korean BBQ all-you-can-eat spots in the DFW area. The meat is fresh, the side dishes are great, and the service is very friendly. Definitely recommend if you love Korean BBQ! read more

I went there with three friends for my birthday and it was so good! I love that they help cook your food at the table. Everything was delicious. What a unique and fun experience! read more

There's a reason I don't do AYCE anymore...this place reinforced it. First, I want to say the staff there are the best! Super nice and they change the grill out without having to ask. Might have been because it was a Tuesday night and it wasn't busy...still. Amazing service. The Korean aunties there are the best! The meats that we did like were the brisket, beef belly, pork jowl and the marinated galbi, albeit a little thin and the marinade was a bit on the sweet side. I liked the thinly sliced pork belly as well. The meats we didn't care for...their Manna signature prime steak (SUUUUPER thin and not great) and their nuk gan sal (too rubbery). The sides were great though. Definitely get the soft tofu soup (softest tofu I've ever had), corn cheese, steamed egg, scallion salad, and my favorite the ramyun. The ramyun was perfectly cooked...noodles still a little chewy and the broth not over poweringly salty. Perfect way to end the meal! Overall, for the price, it wasn't too bad...but they need to upgrade their prime steak...that thing was thinner than flank steak. read more

Manna Korean BBQ - Carrollton - Not so prime steak - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

FOOD Cheese Corn Steamed Egg Lots of Meat Overall everything tastes good. Meat is fresh and not slimy. Well seasoned meats and nicely cut. It's AYCE Probably one of my higher ranked Korean BBQ places. Would definitely come back! VIBES Great place to hangout or catch up with friends. I always love the vibes of Korean BBQ because you can talk and have fun while cooking food. Well lit in the area we sat but surrounding is on the darker side. I like how the stove is rectangle shaped. SERVICE Service was great! We had a party with around 15-20 people (I don't remember the exact number) but they were fast to get out the meats. They were quick to respond when we wanted to order. A bit slow on the grill change but that's alright. They also told us about the bill and how it already included tip and everything which was pretty nice. read more

Very stimulating setting with plenty of televisions and high energy music. The service to order additional meat and sides was very slow and customer service could improve. Very minimal service and quality meat cuts for the price. I would try some where else before returning but this is a great go to if in doubt. Hope your experiences improve. Chow read more

Manna Korean BBQ - Carrollton - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

Went to Manna Korean BBQ with a party of 6 and were seated in a booth that was clearly not meant for 6 people. Extremely tight and uncomfortable the entire time. Surprisingly, they didn't even have lemons. On top of that, gratuity was automatically added to the bill with no notice on the menu, ordering screen, or before being seated. I don't mind tipping, but customers should be informed ahead of time. Very disappointing experience. read more

Honestly not sure why this place has a low review. The cost was $94.15 for three AYCE before tip so after tip, it was $37 per person. For AYCE, and in this economy? A gem. But here's the thing, I thought the food would be mid considering how affordable it was. WRONG. The meat was so good, we had like 9+ rounds of meat? Recommend #24,#3 and #22. The OG selection so you can't go wrong here. The Korean lady was SO QUICK with their service. Never had to ask for a water refill. Never had to ask them to take our plates away. Never had to ask for more meat. Never had to ask for a grill change. They were so attentive and ready for us to order more. So impressed. We went around 6pm and when you left, there was a long line near the door. So impressive 12/10 read more

Victor is the man! Very helpful for our first time going! Highly recommend the spicy bulgogi and really all the beef cuts are good read more

I'm not sure if they recently changed owner from my last visit back in May 2022, but the food quality, service, and options increased big time! They no longer offer the two different AYCE tiers, it's just one fixed price of $28.99. It comes with a great variety of beef, pork, chicken, and seafood options, along with your banchan, salad, bibimbap, soups, cheese corn, and steamed eggs. I was very impressed with the menu, and how much food they offer for everyone. The last time I visited, the meat was okay and it feels like they just like to dump marinate on top to hide the low quality, but this time, it's much better. The marinate doesn't overpower the meats, and it tastes a lot better. My favorites are the brisket, spicy brisket, boneless LA galbi, thin beef belly, pork belly, pork jowl, cheese corn, and steamed egg. I am obsessed with the cheese corn, and I'm so happy that they have it. I feel like the last two visits they were always out, despite it being on the menu. The cheese corn is delicious and exactly how I wanted them to be. It comes out in your typical hot tray with the corn and mozzarella cheese melted together. The steamed egg was tasty as well, but we only got one because we didn't want to fill our stomachs up. I saw that they offer bibimbap with the AYCE menu, but we didn't try it. Asides from the yummy food, their service has improved greatly. It could be because last time we went with a party of 12, but this time it was only 4 people. The server constantly checked up on us, refilled our banchan in bigger portions as requested, changed the grill every 3 portions of meat, and the meats doesn't take long to come out. The robot delivers the meats but the server walks alongside to make sure there's no error. You can only order 3 types of meat each time, but they didn't limit their portions and it was filling for all party members. If I'm craving AYCE KBBQ, this would definitely be my first option. I like Moodaepo's meat quality more when it comes to AYCE, but their slow service isn't worth the extra $12. Plus, you can get legit cheese corn here-- and that alone costs $6 at typical KBBQ restaurants :) read more

This was a really weird Korean BBQ experience. My friends and I felt like the staff were trying to rush us to eat. Forget about cooking your own meats here and enjoying conversations with friends. It was like they wanted us to put our orders in, cook the meats themselves and shove the meats down our throat. It was like we couldn't enjoy our meal at all and I don't eat a lot of meat so I didn't want all this meat on my plate. I really liked the cheese corn here but I'll only go to GEN for Korean BBQ as they have more choices and better sides and I can actually enjoy my meal. read more

Manna Korean BBQ - Carrollton - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

My large family and I were looking for KBBQ & Hot Pot so we made our way to Manna. BUT, they are two separate restaurants, right next to each other... We ordered a little bit of everything. Finger meat is our go-to, but it didn't look like the photo. My favorite meat was the thick spicy pork belly. When we grilled it with a crispy layer, it was delicious with the banchan. My favorite dish of the night though? Easily the soft tofu soup. It was delicious! There was actually a good amount of spice and incredibly flavorful. I did wish Manna had more dishes, other than meat, available. I missed the option of Ari's Kimchi Fried Rice or the wings and potstickers offered at Gen. For the most part, the service was good. They were attentive and constantly checking in (and if you get poor service, there's a button on the table to grab their attention). But, more times than one, our orders were mixed up. Our huge family was broken up into 4 grills and items were given to the wrong grills...lucky for us it wasn't a big deal but a bit confusing and annoying at times. I'm writing this review over a week later and I honestly can't think of things that really stood out to me. It was nice to try but I probably wouldn't come back. Ari still remains superior. read more

Went on a Wednesday evening and was pleasantly surprised. Ambiance: clean and not smoky thanks to the built in fans in the grill Service: unfortunately this wasn't great. Our waiter forgot our order twice. Food: pretty good! + Beef belly: frozen but good. Reminded me of brisket + Marinated boneless galbi: great + Marinated rib fingers: good + Intestines: good + All the banchan were the standout for me + Great side options like ramyun, egg, corn cheese Would recommend and hoping the service was a one off read more

Amazing food! Better quality of food then most korean bbq places i have been to. Also i love all the condiments that come on the side. The service was great, i loved those glads noodles so much that the waitress brought me a big bowl of it. I also loved the ambiance, it is a great date night spot! Highly recommend this place! read more

After bouncing around KBBQ places in DFW for past few years I've came come to the conclusion that this Manna location is the best for couples. It's just a relaxing atmosphere and the the banchan is plentiful and tasty. I do love all the meat too since they're very thinning slices when supposed to be. The unmarinated kalbi is one of the best quality meats. The steamed egg and cheese corn is also a must. You won't regret it. read more

I was surprised Manna has such a low rating on here. I went with a group of 7 friends last night for dinner, and we all thought it was great! We got seated within 5 mins, the banchan (side dishes) were already nicely setup at our table, and our drink order was taken immediately. For meats our favorites were: Beef belly (we had like 6 orders of this alone) Beef brisket Beef tongue Pork Cheek Pork Belly LA Galbi (the marinade on these is amazing) The grills they have get really hot so you can get that nice crispiness on the edges of the meat. Our favorite sides were the radish paper, fish cake, mac salad, and tofu soup. Overall our experience was very much worth it! I would definitely come back here again despite what other reviews mention! read more

Delicious Korean food with slow service. We love KBBQ but this was my father in law's first time so we thought AYCE would be best for him to try various dishes.
