I went for lunch with my family of 6, eventually there was no wait because we arrived when the restaurant opened..food was really good but the service was awful…the lady who served us made it seems like she didn’t want to be there and didn’t smile once…overall my experience was not the best but maybe it wasn’t her day

Would 1000% recommend this Korean bbq restaurant!! The meat quality is excellent for AYCE and service was also very attentive and friendly! There were lots of side dishes options to choose from at the salad bar too! Will definitely be coming back! :)

Disappointing Experience at KB333 Korean BBQ
We had a very unpleasant experience at KB333 Korean BBQ. Our group consisted of 15 people, and although 4 were still on their way, we informed the staff upfront that the rest of our party was arriving shortly. They initially told us it was fine to be seated and start eating while we waited.
However, once we were seated and tried to arrange the kids at one table for safety reasons (to keep them away from the grills), the staff refused to allow it, insisting that we couldn't use the table until everyone had arrived. This completely contradicted what they had just told us. When we explained that it was for the children's safety, they were dismissive and unaccommodating.
To make things worse, they then began discussing how pricing would depend on the children's height, not their actual age — despite the fact that they were clearly young (around 7 years old). The entire interaction was frustrating, confusing, and poorly handled by the staff.
If you're looking for a family-friendly Korean BBQ spot with better service, I recommend Road to Seoul instead. It’s a much more welcoming environment for larger groups and families.

As a native Angelina, I’ve been to Manna as a teen in high school to a few more times as a young adult, then I just suddenly stopped going for a few years until yesterday.
I don’t know if it was a lot to do with the nostalgia, but damn, the food was so good!! The meat quality went over what I expected, but truthfully, I never go into restaurants with any expectations and I like for the experience to speak for itself. And this one spoke!! Don’t let the years of being around and the dim vibes scare you off. Ever. Those are the best spots and this one is still one of them.
I decided to splurge and go with their most expensive menu, which was Gold at $48.99/person. I took advantage of the premium cuts.
Highlights: giant beef rib (1pc per 2 ppl), pork jowl, the beef rib finger, and the marinated short rib, and LA Galbi
I really love their self service sides bar, because who has time to bug waiters every five minutes for more banchan? Go get it yourself! As much as you want too!
Banchan highlights: cilantro kimchi salad, the fish cakes, and the beet dyed radish slices!
I loved my server. She was a sweet older woman who was very attentive! Just note that there are always BIG parties of 8-12 people who come at a time, so give the workers grace and patience where it’s needed.

Incredible, as a local this place went above and beyond my expectation! The staff made part of the magic here always smiling and helping out with the cooking of the meats and were very considerate even though it was close to closing time. Additionally the open bar and the meats were FANTASTIC. Great quality for what you pay and I will definitely be coming back! What a fantastic Experience :). I also left FULL!!!!

Love how they have three options for all you can eat. The meat quality here is pretty good, I liked their beef belly, Galbi and rib fingers. Their salad bar/hot buffet area had a lot to offer as well. The place was very spacious. The servers are friendly and attentive. Also they validate 3 hours free parking! That’s very rare in LA!

KBBQ … in Little Tokyo?! 🗼🥢
Choose from 3 AYCE options: 🩶 Silver – $29.99 (Mon–Thurs, excluding holidays) 💛 Gold – $35.99 🖤 Black – $48.99
We had to go big with the Black menu to try all the premium cuts—and it was worth it. Don’t miss the giant beef rib and ribeye steak. 🥩
🥇 Favorites: the marinated galbi and LA galbi were standouts.
🚨 Pro Tip: Skip the K-Town parking nightmare and head to this hidden gem inside Little Tokyo Galleria. You’ll get 3 hours free parking with validation! 🅿️

✨Ever dream about having spicy raw marinated crab as an option at an All You Can Eat Korean BBQ restaurant?✨ Well, dreams DO come true @mannakbbq.la, located in the heart of LA in Downtown’s Little Tokyo.
Along with 3️⃣ hours of free parking and a full cocktail bar with colorfully strong drinks, you will have over 4️⃣5️⃣ items to choose from, including hot and cold dishes from their large buffet area and every type of meat and seafood option you can think of (and not!), including their Giant Beef Rib and Angus Ribeye Steak🥩
If you STILL have room for more, then definitely add Mul Naengmyeon to end your meal on a tangy, savory, and slightly sweet note🍜
