Every time I come here, regardless of wait time, every single staff member is so quick to help you. You are immediately seated, given menus, served, and checked up on. Now that's brilliant service. Thank you Sam and Christy for your wonderful work! read more

Bless the Manna staff for our group dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were celebrating a birthday and the honoree had never eaten KBBQ (props to her for wanting to try a new style!) before so we were there awhile.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Two of my friends could not recommend Manna enough, so I feel lucky I was able to make a reservation the day prior -- lots of places in the area don't take reservations for 10+ people, let alone for groups larger than 8-10, or some other terms and conditions. We arrived and were promptly seated at 2 tables next to another. The staff immediately got us going with drinks. I wish I could remember our main server's name. He was SO patient with us and calmly went thru the menu with his recos based on what we were thinking to eat. We never had to ask him to change out the skillet pan when it was getting burnt nor wait long for meats or sides when we ordered them. He had a sixth sense for them. So I've learned in the last few months KBBQ places usually don't have a full bar as Americans would expect it- most of the time It's different varieties of soju. Both of our tables ordered different foods - for me it was a fun experience trying new meats and flavors. The added value is that per person it's not very expensive compared to non-AYCE type restaurants. I paid ~$35 for myself, including a pop to drink. I was even able to order a meat that no one else wanted at my table, and not feel guilty for it. Definitely would come back here! read more

Pretty good with quality selection. The service was fast. And a lot of different flavor profiles to create. read more

Food is great my kids like it here. Have came many times and will keep coming back. Thanks!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too packed we were able to get a table as there are many.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was good. It's got a decent selection of meats. My favorites were their Galbi and marinated bulgogi. Overall I would say this is a solid place to come for kbbq if you're craving that and nearby. My only two complaints was the table they sat us at had a very weak stove so we always needed to ask an employee to help turn up the eat each time we did a grill change and eventually we got tired of doing that so turned up the heat ourselves. My second complaint was for the price ($29.99) I felt this was too expensive for kbbq. There are probably cheaper options around the area that serve the same collections. Overall I'd give it a 6.8/10 because food was solid. read more

This my favorite KBBQ place! The meat cuts are always good and the service is typically great. They always have a line on the weekends but totally worth it. read more

I was craving Korean bbq when I was in Mesa, AZ so we went here. For $29/person, and so many options, this place is a steal. Eat to your heart's content! I got most of the appetizers here, including green salad, japchae, gyoza, corn cheese, and fried chicken. For the meats, I mainly got the bulgogi, galbi, chadol baegi (beef brisket), and Manna steak. My favorite meats were the bulgogi and beef brisket. The japchae was soggy and way too sweet. The GYOZA and FRIED CHICKEN were the best, so make sure to order these. The corn cheese was standard and good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are tons of tables inside and it is loud and busy... but good for the business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Customer service was on point, and the woman that helped us kept the food coming lol. She was very efficient and brought us all complimentary ice cream at the end. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only thing was the restrooms were outdated and were a little dirty since there was so much traffic inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

There are new KBBQ spots popping up and we were actually trying to try them this today! But the first one unexpectedly closed for a hour without notice, and the 2nd one system issues so they weren't taking any customers. You know who was taking my money?? Manna! And you know what? I'm glad they did! A lot has changed at this location: more servers were present, more grill changes without being asked, and better service!! We've always liked Manna but knew we had to wait a while and be a little more patient... but they worked out their issues. We came right before the dinner rush, and had wonderful service! They offered my toddler a booster seat without is asking, refilled our drinks without asking, and checked in on us! The meats are just as good and I think they changed up their kimchi which is a nicer flavor! Thank heavens for Manna! ;D read more

Pork belly and beef bulgogi is phenomenal. However, Ladies take forever to come and serve what we ordered. Not only they are understaff I feel they purposely take their time to serve us whatever we ask for the second round of orders. It's about $30 per person, it's not even worth it. read more

Absolutely incredible food and friendly staff. Always a very fun place to bring a group of friends! Sometimes the wait to get in with a large group can be a bit, but the food is worth it. read more

First time here and it did not disappoint! Even on a packed Friday night, our party of three was seated quickly. The $30 all-you-can-eat deal is a steal. Apps included and tons of different meats to choose from. The cheese corn was addicting (a new fav), and the beef bulgogi was my favorite meat we had. Service can get a little stretched with how busy it is, but overall it's great value and a fun experience. read more

It's was our first time visiting Manna BBQ and we were lucky enough to beat most of the crowd. We only had to wait 20 minutes for a table. One thing I didn't like is that they wouldn't seat us (a party of 2) until they had a small table. I understand the need to try to keep larger tables for larger parties, but we saw parties that came in 20 minutes after us get seated before us. Kind of a bummer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also don't love when restaurants have carpet. Not to be picky, but the floor was a mess. Napkins and bits of paper were all over the carpet down the aisles.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That said, we really enjoyed our food. After we got seated, our server came right away. He was so nice and very helpful while going over everything we needed to know. I really liked him! There were fishcakes, kimchi, bean sprouts, cucumbers, and sliced radish at our table. It was all good--i really like the fish cakes! You can order three meats at a time, and unlimited amount of other items. We ordered beef bulgogi, spicy chicken, and garlic shrimp, along with gyoza, and fried rice. The gyoza and fried rice were really yummy! Then the meat came--huge portions of raw, marinated meat to cook on the tabletop grill. So much meat! It was all very delicious. We had originally decided what stuff we would order next, but we never made it past the first round--again, huge servings. And yummy!!! I think it is better to come to Korean barbecue with a bigger party so you have the chance to try different things. As a party of two, we just didn't have enough room. It would be nice to have half orders for smaller parties? We had a delicious (and pretty healthy) dinner at Manna BBQ. When we left, there were A LOT of people waiting for tables. I'm guessing the wait was well over an hour. If you're coming, come early if be prepared for a wait. read more

Solid spot for AYCE KBBQ! I was in town for Giants spring training with my pops and he was feeling for some grilled meats. Of course I had to look up a KBBQ spot because we was HUNGRYYY. Gave Manna a try and thoroughly enjoyed it! Service was great and really quick. One thing which might be a small thing is when I asked for some sesame oil for my dipping sauce tray, the waitress gave me a whole bottle LOL This is have never happened to me before and I appreciate this heavyyyyy. An automatic refill at my discretion, would def reccomend this place if you're ever in the area. 10/10 read more

Had a great time trying out Manna BBQ! My brother took us here because it's one of his favorites, and they didn't disappoint. We came for the lunch special and the restaurant was busy with lots of other patrons taking advantage of the deal. They start by offering banchan which included kimchi, bean sprouts, and pickled cucumber among some other items. It was the perfect starter, and they accompanied the various meats nicely so we could continue to enjoy throughout the meal. I also had the strawberry soju which was delicious! Our server did a great job explaining how it works and the various types of meats we can order. My brother did most of the ordering so I don't remember everything we tried, but the stands out were the spicy pork and galbi. Our grill light went out a few times and the staff was quick to relight it. We had so much dining at Manna and would definitely recommend it! read more

Honestly, I've been to quite a few Manna locations and this was my least favorite one :( Quality of the meat was on the lower end, the potato salad that comes in the banchan tastes bland and stale, the bean sprouts and fish cake also tasted a little stale. Service was slow, we had to ask for one dish 3 times before finally getting it. The servers also seemed confused as to which tables they're taking care of. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was okay, manna tends to be quieter compared to other KBBQ locations which is really good if you want to have conversation without yelling over loud music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would avoid this particular Manna location, but my experiences at others have been solid. read more

My daughters and I always have a great time at Manna BBQ. The food is fantastic and the service is great, though there were a couple of times where we had to flag down the server. The banchan are tasty and the marinaded meats taste incredible. Other favorites include corn cheese, japchae, and Korean fried chicken. read more

Simply the best and closest to Cali Korean BBQ. All the food, banchan and soju are what you would expect and on point. Delicious!

Food is too good! The staff are always busy and hardworking, and even then they are super kind and attentive! The wait was about 45 (went on a Saturday) but there's a cute Asian market next door that was fun to check out. Wait felt like 10min. read more

Manna BBQ - Mesa - Table & food - Korean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I've been craving KBBQ for awhile now and heard a lot about this chain in Arizona. I'm new to the area so I'm back to having to look for my new favorite spots and eateries-- I'm super glad to have been brought here as it did NOT disappoint. It's AYCE for a very fair price-- of $28 per person, which I find shocking as many KBBQ places in California charge $36+ per person. It extremely affordable! You have plenty of meat options to choose from, with some of my favorites being: beef belly, nuk gan sal, joomuluk and pork belly!!! They offer your typical bonchon but did order some corn cheese, salad & vegetables to grill as well. I wish the corn cheese has more mayo/cheese as I've had better corn cheese in other KBBQ places. Although it's AYCE, I enjoyed eating the vegetables if they added more zucchini and mushroom on the plate as I feel like we eat more of the white onion. Some orders they did forget, like an extra bowl of rice and other dishes we ordered but I think the staff is small so I totally understand. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is also very clean and not too busy-- which I love.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would love to go here again... and often.. as it fits my diet on cheat days LOL read more

I love this place with my whole heart! I have been coming here for 3+ years and I have never had a bad experience. The service incredible. The food is so fresh and high quality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is everything that you want when enjoying KBBQ.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've come here to celebrate birthdays. Job promotions. Anniversaries. I truly enjoy and love this place. Thank you Manna for continuously raising the standards for KBBQ and making me want to come back everyday if I could! read more

We came early on a Friday (5pm). Less than 15 minute wait. Plain meat options are good. For the price and the portions, great price! AYCE includes seafood and soups. Drinks other than water are additional and desserts are additional. read more

If you live near here don't be shy and stop on by! This place was busy on a Thursday night but we got seated after a short wait. They gave us 6 sides which were normal quality. We ordered gyoza but it was cold so we warmed it up on the grill and it turned out good. The cha dool was my favorite meat and honesty the portions were large for 2 people so be careful ordering too much! We also got the cheese corn and it was ok... but our service was very friendly and accommodating. Overall I think this is 4 stars and that's not bad. We will come back! read more

Great place. We love coming to Manna over other Korean bbq places. The price is $30 per person for all you can eat which is pretty decent. This includes sides like gyoza and fried rice. They have great cuts of meat and tons of options. They also offer alcohol like Soju and soft drinks. The staff was friendly overall. The only issue we had was we kept having to ask for refills of water and they would bring us a small jug for a party of 6 and would comment on how much water we would get but we were a large party. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's nice that the location also had fans on top of each table to help get smoke and smells out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was great about taking our orders and would bring stuff out quick. Keep in mind they do have a 2 hour time limit but we didn't see them enforce it so just be polite and mindful. The food was awesome and we left super happy with the quality. read more

We love this place! We go several times a month. The quality of meat is always good and there are so many other things to add - gyoza, cheese corn, green salad, etc. Servers are always friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a bit loud at times but that doesn't detract in any way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend Manna! read more

Not my favorite bbq place. The rice wasn't as good and the meats could have been better for the price .

1st time here in Arizona and 1st stop for us... food was delicious. The banchan didn't have too much variety but it was still yummy. The kimchi was on point. The fried chicken strips' batter was surprisingly flavorful. Exceeded our expectations. Service was quick. Our server was very accommodating. Didn't notice any music or tv... a little crammed as well. Would definitely recommend. read more

I'm new around Arizona, I just moved from San Diego and this is the third time I visited this place (I've been going to this place every weekend since I moved). We had the same server from the last two visits, it was Bre -- and she's just amazing! The rest of the staff is friendly, too! But Bre is top tier. She made sure that we got everything, and we don't even have to call her because she checks in on us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I feel like this spot is always busy, but I like how its not too loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food and the service is great! The price is on the cheaper/lower side. I' would definitely be back again, probably not next week -- but I'll definitely be back again. read more

Meat was good, very friendly service the sides were also good would come back again for sure

Arrived here around 2:30 today. Took a few minutes for us to be seated. It was just 2 of us. But once seated, our drink orders were taken right away and food orders right after that. We actually don't eat THAT much so didn't really get our money's worth for an all you can eat place. We ordered 1 Manna steak, 1 order of brisket, 2 orders of boneless marinated short rib, salad, jap chae, steamed egg, 2 fresh sojus, 1 sprite and 1 beer. Everything tasted pretty good except the steak. I feel like the steak coulda been a better quality. Steak was just ok. We were pretty full though after that. Waiters checked on us from time to time and the grill was changed once, which was enough for us. Overall, I still prefer non-all you can eat places but this wasn't bad read more

We absolutely love this place! Service is great, food is fresh, [[HIGHLIGHT]]restaurants clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]! Absolutely a must experience read more

I love Manna but have never been to this location specifically. Since we were in the neighborhood, we stopped here for a birthday lunch. We were sat after only a 5 minute wait. Our server was fantastic! She was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The food selection and price are very good. I love Manna and will definitely go back to any location close to me. read more

We were delighted to introduce family to this restaurant. They were impressed with the variety of foods offered. We tried the tempura veggies, the KFC, the gyoza, and lots of kimchi and pickled veggies. Then we tried the meats - the Manna steak, bulgogi beef, brisket, beef belly and pork belly were our favorites. Service was not as prompt as we have experienced in the past - I think our server was either new, or very distracted. We asked for forks three times and he only brought one each time. Getting our bill took a bit longer than usual. Everyone was very nice, but it was a bit busy. read more

The service here is always on point, the Korean ladies are always so sweet and on top of everything. I feel like this location, they marinate things a little better than their Chandler location. Great price for AYCE and honestly one of the better AYCE places. Place is also very clean! read more
