Perfect for a large family gathering! Lots of space and attentive staff with quick order turnaround. Great service and atmosphere, came after my sister's graduation. Lots of good meat options and different sauces/ marinades as well. The beef brisket and spicy beef belly were my group's favorites. Also would recommend the corn cheese, the steam egg, and the tofu stew. Great mains and sides to fill you up for the rest of the day!

Came here because it was the highest rated place in the area for KBBQ and it did not disappoint! From the moment you sit down, you're greeted with an array of fresh banchan already on the table. The service is impressively quick, ensuring you're never left waiting long. The short ribs are exceptional, and the New York steak was great too! At $30, the pricing is fair for the quality and variety offered. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a satisfying Korean BBQ experience!

Went here spur of the moment and I was please to say the wait time was only 20 mins, that's pretty awesome considering kBBQ places are PACKED. They lost 1 start because of a nasty front hostess who rolled her eyes at me and didn't answer my question but instead let her coworker a polite and professional young man let me know the wait time wasn't an 2hours like the waitlist check-in was saying. Keep her in the back or tell her to fix her face, I wish I had got a name cause that ick is what can ruin the whole experience. The food... We got the premium (me and hubby) we ordered veggies, we ordered lots of meat but no chicken, and we were super satisfied. They were attentive and I didn't feel rushed by any means... They replaced our rice and other sauces quickly and I appreciated that prompt service. It's loud because its a popping place and a lot of celebrations happen there including birthdays. They play music for the birthday person and sing to them. It's a lively atmosphere, to say the least.

For KBBQ, Manna offers higher quality meat than I've typically had at Gen which is a plus. We stopped by for the lunch premium AYCE and were surprised to be served an entire ribeye as part of it. Where Manna underperforms Gen is specifically with seasoning - it was simply not anywhere near as flavorful as Gen for the spicy bulgogi and everything else for the most part. The beef tongue was very well seasoned, on the other hand. By the way, we waited about 15 minutes on the waitlist. That seems reasonable. I like the environment at Gen a bit better. I think given the quality of meat, I'd probably give it another shot. I only have KBBQ once a year, if that. So, it'll be some time from now.

The quality of their food is good. Everything tasted fresh. Service was ok. There were multiple times where we would call and they wouldn't come or they would just flat out not bring out the meat we ordered. The ambiance was nice though.

This is my favorite Manna location. The service is quick. The wait times are so much shorter. The meat taste pretty fresh, I don't get much of the "frozen meat" vibes. Parking lot has plenty of spaces. It's consistent everytime I come to this location.

Went on Labor Day, wait for a table was 45-60 minutes but 1/3 of the tables were not being used - I guess they were short staffed. Food was good quality all around. We only ordered beef. Marinated meats we tried (bulgogi, kalbi) were marinated well and flavorful. Non-marinated meats (manna steak, jumulook) were good quality and tender. Side dishes provided a nice change up - and I felt like the best ones were the ones that came with the table. Overall a good experience - just wish the initial wait for a table was shorter.

Been coming to this location in Mira Mesa for years! Always nice to have a kbbq close to home. Food: Two different menus, the Premium A1 menu with everything, or the cheaper A2 menu with most things. Tbh I feel anyone would be just fine with A2 but if there are meat options in A1 you just have to have, then go for it! Also corn cheese here is the style where it's done already when they bring it to you and not the kind where you have to cook and melt the cheese yourself! Service: Wait times can get pretty long especially if you have a large group so beware of that. Service is usually good; we had multiple servers come by to check on us last time. There's also a button at your table if you need to call someone over right away. Ambiance: Nothing too fancy but lots of room and they have TVs playing sports most of the time which is a plus for me. Water: Water is fine but most of the time you'll have to ask or hit the button for refills since the workers are busier bringing out more meat and food for everyone.
