Delicious food also great customer service
We ordered pork belly, kalbi, amd beef brisket, and steak. The quality of the meats were sub par. The side dishes were below standard too. I think the ordering on the screen is very annoying. The screen photos of the menu aren't clear, they are only labeled in Korean, and you have to go through several clicks to complete the order/request. One order didn't even come through. The only thing i likes was their tofu soup, rice, and steamed egg. I don't think I will be coming back to this place again.
Good friendly employees and BOMB FOOD 😘🤌🏾
Healthy for people on high protein diet as well. Been coming here for over 6 years.
Food was good a bit chaotic of an environment which is fine but one of the employees placed another customers used dish with meat juice in it next to my one year old daughter and made a comment they’ll come back for it, as if our dining table was the dirty dish bin.
It was my husband and I first time visiting we’re Las Vegas locals so we were SUPER excited about visiting after watching TikTok’s. Food was GREAT, fresh! But service was terrible. Lacking attentiveness. Our waitress wasn’t rude to us, she just wasn’t aware of us like she should have been. Really wish we could’ve had a different experience for our couples trip!
Food was great and service was fast. The only thing that I didnt like was that they were serving half portions when we wanted full. The ordering process is done through a tablet and had an option for half size but not for full, so we assumed it meant the basic order was for full since we were able to send it as is, but maybe it wasn't? We were a big group, and half sizes were finishing fast, so I do wish that was communicated better. They still were very fast and efficient, bringing the meat and picking up plates. 👍🏽
Also free ice cream.
I had the 30.99 option and gratuity was automatically added for groups of 6 and more, so my personal total was $44 with no drink.
Went on a Wednesday around 5pm and there wasn't any wait time
Have tried better places

Vomited twice after arriving at hotel! Too much oil and sugar. Would never come back or touch Korean BBQ again! It is cold inside if you sit near the entrance or the hallway. The waitress would not come for us ordering and some dishes were missing. Hard to find parking during dinner time.

Everything has gone strangely wrong, the waiters are busy, they bring orders late, they put the fire tray on low, they don't bring paper towels, everything has gone strangely wrong.The quality of the food has declined greatly....

Manna BBQ is hands-down one of the best Korean BBQ restaurants I’ve ever visited! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a welcoming atmosphere, exceptional cleanliness, and a friendly team that ensures you feel right at home.
The star of the show is undoubtedly the food. The quality of the meats is outstanding—whether it’s the buttery slices of beef brisket, the juicy pork belly, or the perfectly marinated Korean style BBQ, each bite is bursting with flavor. For those who enjoy customization, the variety of dipping sauces and seasonings elevate the dining experience to a new level.
The complimentary side dishes (banchan) are fresh, diverse, and endlessly refilled. From the crisp and tangy kimchi to the refreshing cucumber salad and savory steamed egg, every dish complements the grilled meats beautifully.
The grilling stations are modern and efficient, and the staff is always attentive, ensuring the grills are clean and your dining experience is smooth. Unlike some BBQ spots, Manna BBQ does an excellent job of maintaining a smoke-free environment, so you leave satisfied but not smelling like a BBQ!
What truly sets Manna BBQ apart is its ability to combine authentic Korean flavors with excellent service and a vibrant dining atmosphere. Whether you’re a Korean BBQ connoisseur or trying it for the first time, this restaurant delivers an unforgettable experience.
Manna BBQ is perfect for family gatherings, date nights, or even casual dinners with friends. If you’re looking for an authentic Korean BBQ spot that serves high-quality food at a great value, Manna BBQ is a must-visit!

Our friends told us that Manna BBQ was the best Korean BBQ in San Diego and it didn’t disappoint.
The regular menu and premium menu are close in price and I recommend the premium menu with the ability to order the big ribeye steaks. All the food was excellent with great meat selection and excellent sides. The service was really exemplary. They use a combination of an electronic tablet and servers. They were extremely attentive bringing your food, drinks and whatever else you needed. They would have what you ordered brought to table extremely fast. In addition, they offer to change out your grills right when you need it. The service makes the experience well worth the price. We had a fantastic time and it’s a fun way to have an interactive meal with your friends, family or significant other.
Parking: The parking is quite a hassle at dinner time.

December 12, 2024: Finally open again!
Favorite kbbq due to price point, that they have lettuce for wrapping meats, and the BEST cheese fondue. If you haven't had pork jowl dipped in their melted cheese you are missing out.
Interior renovations include tableside tablet where you order on your own and no more yelp waitlist (now it's their own system you join queue and they text you when your table is ready).

Great AYCE Korean BBQ for an affordable price! They have a lot of beef options. The beef belly is my personal favorite. It’s a fun atmosphere to eat with your friends. The ventilation is good, I don’t completely smell like bbq once I leave. A lot of Kbbq places with poor ventilation will stain your clothes. This wasn’t the case here.
The only downside was service was much slower than I hoped for, we had to wait awhile for any refill/reorder of food.
I would still recommend this place in SD :)

Great service! Food was good, too and the lunch all you can eat BBQ was a good deal. The beef bilgogi is a bit better at another local BBQ, as far as the marinade, but Manna's was leaner and thinner sliced. Also they serve regular American wines.
Great first experience trying Korean BBQ!
