    The service here is just stellar! We usually go to the Mesa location because it is closer, but this location has much better service! The tables are much bigger, and the service is faster - but they gave my toddler so much sweet attention! Great vibes and efficient team! The meat quality here is great, AND I still love their ban chan quality. I don't think my review last year differs, but that probably means they are consistent!

    Pro-tip: Don't be shy about asking for extra of the side dishes. Don't order the premium steak unless you really like leaner steak or you're with a group bigger than three people. Highlights: Really nice to see a manna on the side of town! The meat quality is really good and I love the variety of not just meats, but appetizers and sides. They are super quick with bringing out the food and overall service. If there's a certain side, you'd like, you can ask for more and they bring like 3X the normal quantity. Lowlights: Skip the fried chicken because it's mostly breading - stick to the wings. The tofu soup was probably the saltiest soup I've ever had. I kind of like the homey feel of the manna in Mesa better than this one that has a nightclub vibe.

    Definitely recommend Manna for your KBBQ needs. The meat was delicious and not too fatty. I like when KBBQ spots provide sides without you having to ask. The environment was great, music wasn't too loud. We'll definitely be back!

    Korean BBQ lovers you MUST-TRY this place. Me and my friend went and try out a new BBQ and we were amazed how busy restaurants is and yea, not so surprising why they are so busy and long wait because the have a variety options with reasonable price for all you can eat with $28.99. I love spicy and we did order all option with marinating with spicy sauce that they offer ok the menu and yes, I didn't disappointed at all. It's just perfect kick and not overly spicy. The restaurant quite small and have limited table to offer for a group more then 4 people. Try to go during weekdays otherwise come before 1 pm during weekend to avoid a long wait I loved it and already craving for more. I will come back again s

    My family and I love mannas. They are the best Korean BBQ. They're fast with the orders, change the grills out regularly, and don't have a strict amount you can order at a time like Gen's. We love when we get Anny as our server!! She's the BEST. There's another worker who's not too friendly lol, but still brings everything you order quickly. The food is great- as well as the sides. They also have good ventilation inside so it's not super smoky. Overall, this is the best place to go for KBBQ.

    So we didn't know that there was a Chandler location, so we kind of stumbled upon this one. We were so excited that there was a location closer to us, but in the end it didn't compare to the normal location we attend. I feel like some of the meat weren't as marinated as the Mesa location, their jap chae taste weird, and their steamed egg was burnt so it had a very bitter taste to it. Service also wasn't that great as we ended up waiting for a good twenty minutes for our bill, and they weren't even really busy and had more than enough servers out front. It wasnt the normal experience so it just didn't satisfy us. Oh and exhaust was set so low and in place, so we couldn't move it around. Honestly it was so low it was hard for us to flip our meat without hitting the exhaust. We asked a lady if it could lift up and she said no. At the Mesa location it's adjustable.

    Best korean bbq ever...!!! I am Korean and this is approved!!! The quality of the meat and nice servers!!!

    Service went great. The meat quality here isn't at best, I enjoy manna at the west gate location much better. Ambiance was clean so I appreciated that.

    Awesome quality of meat especially for an AYCE place! It is $28.99 a person. They have cooked and uncooked items. Your clothes will smell like kbbq when you leave, but it's so worth it! My favorite is Nuk Gan Sal! It is beef rib finger meat - meat cut from between the ribs. Chadol, galbi, manna steak, and beef tongue are just gets. For cooked items, I love getting the corn cheese, japchae, vegetable tempura, ramen, and tofu soup! We didn't have to wait as we came at 5pm on a Friday, but it got really busy when we were leaving. Great customer service!

    Beef Belly
    Fiona Shane I.

    Food: Delicious. Favorite meat- Beef Belly and Appetizer- Corn Cheese and Side Dish- Pickled Radish Service: The best! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Food came out super fast. Once seated we were served with banchan and sauces and drinks. Once the drinks came, we ordered right away. The waitresses always asked if we were doing ok or if we needed more meats. The other staff members who took empty plates out of the way were friendly as well. They were all very attentive. My water was running low and one of them saw it and she gave me water right away. Ambiance: The music was too loud for me but maybe I'm just getting old lol but it was quiet for dinner. Not a lot of people. No long lines unlike the Dobson/Mesa location. This Chandler-Gilbert location has super friendly staff so enjoyed dinner. Will def come back since it's 10 mins away from the house! And I love love Manna - AYCE KBBQ!

    Banchan / side dishes
    Aakriti A.

    We had a great time at Manna for our first time! Crystal was a great server and brought out all of our food extremely quickly and was very friendly and helpful! Our favorite things were, in order: 1. Spicy pork bulgogi (#35) - this is strips of pork that were marinated in a spicy sauce - delicious flavor! Not too spicy, maybe a 2 out of 5 2. Joomuluk (#21) - this was marinated steak and were nice and juicy after cooking 3. Chadol Beagi (#11) - this is really thinly sliced meat, cooks very quickly and easy to make crispy Along with their meats, all which were great (we tried most of the menu), we really liked the banchan (side dishes)! The pickled cucumbers were sooooo good, as was the mashed potatoes! Kimchi was good, picked radish, and beansprouts! They also had fish cakes (we don't eat fish). The banchan were unlimited which was nice too! They also didn't charge us for the rice. We also really liked the Soondubu, which is a spicy tofu stew - very delicious and came in a hot stone bowl (single serving) so it stayed piping hot for a while! Everything we had was delicious and definitely worth the $30 all you can eat! Can't wait to come back!

    AYCE Korean bbq plus other things on the menu like appetizers, soups, bibimbap, baby octopus, shrimp for $28.99 is a great deal! $14.49 for kids 5-10 years old. Usually if you want seafood it will cost more and doesn't even include appetizers... I was greeted right away when I walked in. On a Saturday night, it looks like a club. Lols Dark and lit up with blue lights, can't really hear what the other is saying across the table since it's so loud. So don't go here if you want a quiet atmosphere for deep convos. Lols I'm sure it's not like that for lunch. I made a ressie ahead of time for my party of 5 at 5:30. I recommend doing that especially on a weekend. It wasn't busy when we walked in but around 6:30 the place was packed and a line of people waiting. We ordered the brisket, pork belly, bulgogi, nuk gan sal and Hawaiian chicken. Everything was good. Comes with a salad, banchan (love that they have my two faves - potato salad and fish cake), and salt/sesame oil. It was my friend's first Korean bbq experience and she liked it. Our waitress was nice but like all kbbq places, busy and didn't linger long at the table. But she was quick with taking our orders and getting the food to us. Someone came to change our grill as needed a few times without us asking so that was nice. I'd def come back. Nice to have an AYCE Kbbq closer to my house...

    Newly opened (end of April 2024) all you can Korean BBQ restaurant. Came at 5.30pm on a Saturday and it was the perfect time as the crowd started rolling in at 6pm. We got seated immediately, the server was on point and very attentive and didn't event need the server button which is common at Korean restaurants. In terms of sides dish/ Korean appetizers. 5/5. Loved everything about it especially the bean sprouts and glass noodle. As for the meat selections... it was too much to write about but enjoyed the brisket, beef tongue, beef rib fingers, bulgogi (like teriyaki flavor) Ambience wise. Nice layout One of the better KBBQ in the valley hands down. Definitely coming back !

Bb.q Korean Fried Chicken in Chandler and Mesa are the best fried chicken places in AZ! All the flavors are delicious and unique. The other food is also great there....except maybe the rice could be more sticky instead of dry. I've had everything on the menu. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the chicken flavors. One thing I'll say for those first timers is that if you want sauce, then get one of the flavors that have sauce because there isn't any dipping sauce for the spicy original or original. Those are meant not to have any sauce on them. The fried chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Again, if you're new to the place, you really cannot go wrong with any of the flavors. The place is kept clean, including the bathroom. The staff is nice and I like that they check on you and help when needed. A lot of other restaurants usually don't care after you've paid, so I think it's great that Bb.q Chicken cares. The only negative I have is that when you dine in, the restaurant is kind of warm/hot depending on the time of day you go, which makes dining in uncomfortable. I wish they would turn down the air conditioning. Happy they opened locations in AZ!

Korean BBQ is all about timing, attentiveness, and energy -- and he mastered all three. He was incredibly attentive without hovering. Our table was never cluttered, drinks were always refilled before we even had to think about it, and the meat rotations were perfectly timed. At a place like Gen where the pace can make or break the experience, he kept everything flowing smoothly. What impressed us most was his professionalism and attitude. He was knowledgeable about the menu, quick with recommendations, and confident in explaining different cuts and options. He made sure we understood how everything worked and checked in consistently to ensure we had exactly what we needed. But beyond just doing his job, he had that rare quality of genuine service. Friendly, respectful, efficient, and personable. You can tell he takes pride in representing the restaurant. He made us feel like valued guests, not just another table in a busy dining room. The food was great, the atmosphere was lively and fun, but Brenden is what made this visit memorable. If management is reading this -- he is top-tier. Hold onto him. We will absolutely be back, and we'll be asking for Brenden again.

The beef soup was very good - tofu was ultra soft and silky. I loved the spice level and they bonchon was also definitely worth trying. I would recommend getting extra salad dressing on the side and getting the lettuce plate (which is an extra $3.5) for the meat unless you want to eat it with the pre-tossed salad.

They also served me a different one than what I had in the flight which tasted and looked different (it was murkier vs clear when ordered in the full bottle) and the bottle is def 13%. Service is on pointe - never needed to ask for anything other than another box and if you're trying to hear someone on a first date I wouldn't recommend coming here, but the general ambiance is fun and worth a try with good friends and family.
