Me and my friend went in on a Friday night and it was quite empty. We got the AYCE bbq. No Shabu. Service was amazing and side dishes were some of the best I've had in a while. The cheese corn was especially delicious and I wish I could've eaten more of the pancake (but I got really full). The ladies running it were so nice and attentive. I'm really grateful for them. They kept asking us if we wanted more and were really on top of things whereas some other places I go I might feel I have to flag someone down. I also really liked the older kpop playing. Price is pretty typical for this type of place. If the meat was slightly better (marinated longer) I'd give five stars. But make no mistake everything else about it was a 5/5 for us. I'd go back and just eat side dishes if I could honestly. read more

We ate here with family a couple of weeks after Christmas and enjoyed Shabu Shabu on a cold and windy night. It was great! The service was responsive and food selection was good. They had lots of fresh vegetables, frozen seafood, and their meat choices seemed not as fresh, but decent. All in all we had a good experience there and would have absolutely no problem returning. read more

Manna Shabu & BBQ - View from front waiting area. - Hot Pot Near Me - Plano, Texas

How does a restaurant in 2025 not know to ask if there is a peanut allergy? Peanut sauce in salad and meat marinade. I got an allergic reaction and she said she'll put it on the side. I said no peanuts on anything. Not a happy customer. read more

Very underwhelming experience. We tried this place on a Tuesday night around 8:45pm. You can tell the waitress that sat us down was not happy about us being their last customer 1 hour before closing (they close at 10:00pm). They took our order and the second we got our meat order and our soup pots, another waitress approached our table and said sorry kitchen is closed, at 9:00pm! How?! The restaurant closes at 10:00pm and it's only 9:00pm and we just sat down. We paid full price and barely ordered any meat. Not only was that rude but completely not cool. We definitely won't go back. The service was bad and the food was very underwhelming. Soup broth had no flavor- I got 1/2 spicy and 1/2 beef broth. My husband and son got 1/2 spicy and 1/2 miso. I don't recommend this place honestly. read more

Awesome! The selection and service were great. Our server, Anna took great care of us! Would recommend read more

All-you-can-eat hot pot & bbq- it was all more than enough! We were a large group, and this worked perfectly for all the different preferences. We did have to agree on grill items, but no big deal - theres enough beef, pork, chicken & seafood choices for everyone.  Hot pot veggie ingredients are from a self-serve bar, they bring out the meat per your order. I really liked all the seafood choices, including spicy shrimp & small octopus. It's a good choice for a hungry, large group. read more

For all you can eat hot pot and/or Korean barbecue, Manna's menu and price per person is great! You can opt to do one or both, and guests gave access to the self-service vegetable and seafood bar as well as sauce station. You can make your own concoctions of all types of sauces and dips. I don't believe there is a time limit for your party so it's nice to enjoy their food with friends and family. The staff is attentive and makes sure you have all the meats you desire for your soup and/or grilling. For dessert, they have a self-serve ice cream bar. They usually have chocolate, strawberry, chocolate, and matcha green tea flavors. read more

I've been to manna before but only the carrolton location so I was a bit curious on how the Plano location compared. First thing I noticed was that they didn't have any sides on the menu, such as steamed egg that the carrolton location has. As for the meat, it was alright but one thing that did disappoint was the galbi since I could barely taste the marinade, and it seemed to not have been marinated for very long. However, the service made up for it, because all of the servers were very friendly and since we went pretty late, it wasn't busy at all so they came by every once in a while and cooked the meat for us which was nice of them. The experience was good, but I do prefer the carrolton location more. read more

Manna Shabu & BBQ - Manna Kbbq - Hot Pot Near Me - Plano, Texas

My spouse and I went here for lunch on a weekday recently and had an awesome hot pot experience. We tried their signature broth and the miso broth, ordering a handful of meats that our server brought out. The most impressive part was the cold bar that was fully stocked with fresh veggies, sprouts, eggs, and a wide range of seafood items, as well as a sauce bar that must have had over a dozen different options to try. I loved that the veggie bar was self-serve because I like a lot more veggies than my spouse does, so I was able to fill up on whatever I wanted while he was cramming his face full of meats. All in all, we had a great time and would return. My only complaint was that they no longer have a reduced lunch price for their menu; it's just the same flat price for all you can eat on the shabu side or the KBBQ side. read more

A new experience, friendly staff, open area and spacious environment. More detailed explanations of food choices and the general setup and process would be helpful. Some of the hot pots at our station did not work, which caused our party to have to shift around. We made the best of it but had to sort of talk around some empty seats. The location is convenient overall, and Immediately next door to a market that seems very popular. Overall I would say the price point is high for the value and experience. read more

I believe this is the first time in life that I've ever felt cheated at a Korean BBQ restaurant. There are 2 other Manna locations that I've been to and while there's a clear winner out of the 3, this one is definitely the worst one. First of all you can't tell the difference between BBQ meat and hotpot meats - they're all sliced so thin they might as well be for hotpot. Second the round eye steak was obviously a rolled chuck of low cost beef frozen into shape and cut with a slicer to look like steak. Last but IMHO the biggest, shall I say false advertising, is their "boneless kalbi". It's not kalbi - a famous Korean dish using rib meat that are succulent and easy to chew. What I got was in essence cheap flap steak marinated with kalbi sauce and paraded as kalbi. Not only was this steak tough when cooked, the sauce couldn't penetrate the dense meat fibers. This is probably the most egregious violation of Korean BBQ ethics I have ever witnessed and while there are zero recourse for this gross violation of my taste buds, I think this is the first and last time I will ever be a patron at this establishment. read more

Service was great! Very fast and attentive. The vibes are great and the restaurant looks very nice. We went for the BBQ and it was inexpensive and delicious. Often times at kbbq places, the meats are hit or miss but 90% of the meats we got were very tasty. There's also an extremely large meat selection in comparison to kbbq places around the same price. They also have a build your own sauce bar where you can get sesame oil, salt, chili oil etc. Definitely recommend for a night out w your s/o or friends. read more

Manna Shabu & BBQ - Hot Pot Near Me - Plano, Texas

I wish I could leave a 3.5 star review but since we are in a pandemic I will just be rounding up. The food was mediocrely fresh(?) There were some flies landing on their food so that was offputting. Their "clean" dishes were not that clean. Our table was not cleaned very well and had some food particles cemented onto it. Service wasn't all that great. Moving onto the more positive stuff ... The soup base and meat quality were good. I love their sauces and the choices of all the different veggies, fish cakes, and starches. I'll be visiting again but maybe the Carrollton location next time. Either way I'm excited that this side of town has a place like this and recommend trying this place if you haven't tried shabu shabu and don't want to break your bank while trying it for the first time. read more

We randomly picked a place to munch on. It wasn't the best choice. Service was totally lacking & it wasn't even busy. The broth was very diluted. However they did offer quite a decent selection of shabu shabu ingredients. The red wine tasted stale (only had 2 sips). It's located in an Asian plaza with plenty of parking. read more

Very good food with a great selection of hotpot ingredients. We usually only go for hotpot and easily get full without Korean BBQ also.

This review only covers the BBQ buffet. It's bad. It's surprisingly bad for a restaurant in Dallas and with supposed decent reviews online. I visited Dallas for family and food and this one was a big downer. The marinated meat choices were bland and a waste of calories. We tried all the other choices esp the kalbi which is the crown jewel of Korean BBQ and it was just plain ehh. It wasn't even "okay." The service was slightly below average. We had to keep hunting down our servers and they didn't replace our grill cover until the very end bc we asked for it. Sad we went to this place. read more

Manna Shabu & BBQ - Hot Pot Near Me - Plano, Texas

We have been to this restarant for hotpot before but this was the first time to have the kbbq here. We found their bbq grill did not have fire, it was look like an induction cooker. The quality of meat was not bad, I could gave it 3 stars. We ordered some spicy meat but all of them were just toppped with the same spicy sauce, and not marinated. Since there was not a real fire grill, the process of cooking was like stir-fry. Compared with other Kbbq restaurants, we felt they were not authentic . And we sat relatively at the corner of the room, everytime the waitress came in to serve other tables, we hope to place an order but the waitress always ignores us. It was not a good experience and we won't come here again for the kbbq. read more

Not good. Slow, inattentive, unhelpful service. Grills don't get hot so food steams, not grills. Bonchon is old. We had to ask three times for more water. No explanation about rice service. Mostly, food was just bad. No point to get Korean bbq if the food won't grill. Restaurant feels unclean - greasy floors and tables. Music is cheesy pop played too loudly with a bad system. Manna in Carrollton is better, but many options in Plano are better including Ari. read more

We took my son here for his birthday and it was great! Service was quick and friendly and the food was delicious! Great, fun atmosphere and everyone from the manager to the server was super nice! Everything was included in the all you can eat except drinks- no upcharges which we've found at other places like this. Will definitely be back! read more

The food is average. However, they have lots of options for you I like the intestine and beef tongue The only reason I rare 1* is that they very staff shorted. They have only 1 several in the Friday after noon for the whole restaurant. I hit the bell three times, and she still not shows up. It takes too long for the server to come. In short, please don't come here, you will wait for long long time read more

Korean food has had a special place in my heart since I had a layover in Seoul and we stayed the night there one night. The food, the culture, and the scenery is breathtaking. My hubby and I always like to find a good Korean restaurants when we travel. We found a jackpot with this place. It's Korean hot pot soup with so many options to choose from for the soup. We mainly do veggies and fish and there was plenty of options for us as well as a veggie and miso broth. The place has a wonderful vibe and the service was quick and friendly and very informative. The bathrooms, tables, and buffet area were all spotless and so clean. It's a little pricey but so worth every penny. It's all delicious read more

Service and food was excellent! We will definitely return soon! Ana took great care of us!

Really wanted Korean BBQ but seen this place with 5 Star's for Korean Hot Pot so we took the leap. What we ate was tasty but totally not as satisfying or delicious as real Korean BBQ we cook ourselves on the Grill. Had the place to ourselves, I'm sure because of the current health scare, I still find it hard to understand how they we're rated 5 Stars. We tried it, got full and we both decided we will stick to Korean BBQ from now on. read more

Amazing price for food. Enjoyed the hot pot option and the unlimited sides, meats, and sauces.

We went here with my brother, his girlfriend and wife here. It was a holiday so all you can eat prices for lunch was $25 dollars per person. Choices of meat, you get to choose 3 for every order USDA Angus Beef Rib EyePrime Beef Chuck Top BladeUSDA Angus Choice Round EyePrime Chuck EyeAngus Choice Boneless Short RibAngus Beef BellyPrime Beef Brisket Berkshire Pork Shoulder Natural Pork Belly Chicken BreastLamb Leg Bass Fish Fillet Here are the choices for Soup Base Manna House Beef Soup Chicken Soup Base Seafood Soup Miso Soup Chinese Hot Pot "Huo Guo They also have a buffet like bar where you get to choose assortment of vegetables like lettuce, mushrooms and seafood like crabs, imitation crab, clams, dumplings, etc. They have a sauce bar and liked the peanut sauce the most. Then at the end you get an assortment of ice cream (green tea, strawberry, chocolate and vanilla) which was very good. The downside is that the ordering of meat can be very slow. We got our first order and then 40 minutes later, the lady did not come back to check in on us and we rang the door bell, but no one came until my wife bugged her to come over. The third and forth portions were pretty fast as we know what to do. Oh yes be careful of where you are walking as the floors can be slippery. I noticed this in the bathrooms and near the front mostly. Other than that it was very good for the price you get. Meat was pretty good as most of it is frozen. I would come back again. read more

Definitely a fan - visited twice in a week! Good place for shabu shabu - I haven't had the KBBQ here. Lots of options for broth which is usually difficult to come by. Good variety of veggies, noodles, seafood, meat, and various toppings/sauces for you to enjoy as you like. Staff is over all friendly and clear away plates quickly. Their ice cream is surprisingly good - one of my favorite matcha ice creams. Good place for a filling meal with friends/family. read more

Overall, very poor quality food. Buffet food looks like a day or two old. They look so dry and just not appetizing at all and not enough choices. I had lunch here and price seemed to be very overpriced for what you get. They use unnecessary amount of plates to serve meat which I find it pretty unpleasant and an unappetizing experience. Sadly I won't go back here. It was quite disappointing. read more

The service was very good. The servers were attentive and always checked up on us. The food itself was high quality and well priced for both hot pot and the Korean bbq. The place itself was clean and had a nice vibe, good lighting. Would def visit again :) read more

Way too overpriced and overrated. Quality of the fish cakes and the dumplings was very bad and very smelly. I was very much concerned about the cross contamination since there was oozing liquid from the raw meat all over the buffet counter tops and it wasn't cleaned on regular basis while I dined in. Very less veggie options for the price paid. Employees were not handling the raw meat plates while bringing it to the customers table. The quality of the soup wasn't good either. I love hot pot foods and have tried several hot pots out of states. I definitely will Will not recommend this place. read more

Amazing value, the quality of the meats were fantastic and service was incredibly fast. I was blown away by the quality of the beef tongue, the boneless short rib, and the brisket. You'd be hard pressed for find such quality for a 30$ all you can eat anywhere else. read more

Manna Shabu & BBQ - Banchan - Hot Pot Near Me - Plano, Texas

Came for AYCE Shabu and this place was the closest to meeting our hotpot expectations compared to a place we love in NJ called Shaburo. Manna has some great meat selections. Especially beef. Their veggie, noodle, and seafood selections at the bar are pretty standard. It's impressive that they set out the seafood for you to pick instead of giving you a plate of seafood. That's the first time I've seen that. This was also the first place I've seen serve Korean corn which is much chewier and less sweet than the corn we're used to. We came in as soon as they opened on a Saturday. Service was good at this time. I can see this place getting busy during the later part of the day. read more

Great combo of Shabu and Koran BBQ. I loved that everyone had their own 'hot pot' with their own broth. The meat was of good quality and there was a good selection of ingredients and sauce. Service was not particularly attentive, but we enjoyed ourselves anyway. read more

This place was actually pretty good. My family and I got the hot pot and bbq. There's two different menus for each which is weird. As for the noodles and veggie bar, I think you can only get access to it if you ate the combo meal (hot pot and bbq). As for the sauce bar, anyone can get access to that. I would have to say that it does get a little overwhelming to do both at the same time. So I'd recommend only doing one or the other. It was a little pricey to eat the combo but I think very worth it if you're one of those that likes to get your moneys worth. read more

Absolutely love this place. My family and I keep coming back because it never seems to fail us. We typically go a little after lunchtime on the weekends and the service is always quick where they bring out the meats that we ordered fairly quickly. Everyone is also really nice which I can't tell if it's because they are starting to recognize us since we go so often. On another note, they started to open up their buffet full of seafood and veggies again. They provide gloves and everyone gets their own individual tongs to grab what they want. They also have a kbbq side which I hope to try in the future. All in all, one of my favorite go to places in the Plano area. read more

This is the spot my family and I go to when we have a Korean bbq craving. We usually just get the bbq, but they do have options for both. Meat quality is ok, and its the only place I can find beef belly. They did away with the steam egg, which my wife was disappointed about. read more

Delicious food! One of the best places for Shabu Shabu. The hot food buffet is an excellent addition and the ice cream is always a favorite.
