For those who are not familiar with the dining experience of a KBBQ restaurant, you select what type of menu you want to eat from, then the staff will bring out some of the meat and side items from that menu, and then you will cook the raw meat or seafood that is brought out.  We are experienced KBBQ patrons and compared to the other KBBQ restaurants we’ve eaten at, Manna BBQ’s prices are reasonable and not as pricey.  We decided on the less costly menu because for just under $30 per person, we got a good selection of meats, seafood, and side items.  Every KBBQ restaurant brings out complimentary Korean sides such as kimchi, pickled vegetables, and noodles.  Please take my advice and don’t do what I did.  I started eating these sides before my wife started cooking the meats, so I was making myself full before consuming the more expensive meats.  Lay off the sides and pace yourself, which I did not do and paid for it later.  On the A2 menu, the stars of our meal were the Bulgogi (Marinated Beef), Manna Steak, Jumooluk (Boneless Short Rib), L.A. YangNyum Galbi (Marinated Thin Beef Ribs), Chicken Bulgogi, Pork Dumpling, Gaeranjim (Steamed Egg), and Corn Cheese.  Make sure to ask for Fried Rice and White Rice to go with your meal.  All of the meats were tender, tasty, and belly busting.  The corn cheese was divine and yummy.  Last piece of advice, make sure you have someone in your party who can cook or BBQ because my wife made sure our food was cooked to perfection.

Value, service and food were top notch.

Originally, we were aiming to try adjacent Korean BBQ, name starting with “O”. However, they were closed and open at 4:30pm.

Luckily, this was just few hundred feet away, at adjacent shopping center.

We were quickly seated, with prepared table.

We had the premium AYCE, no premium cuts of meat, but the quality of the meats were fresh.

Many side dishes, spicy and non spicy. However, they did not have appetizer type items. But those are just fillers. You eat meat at AYCE.

The servers were quick and helpful.

The parking was abundant.

Definitely worth visiting if in the area and a great place to return when craving meat.

Finally got to try Manna and I can see why people love it so much. Great price for a premium menu we spent $34 a person. We got to the restaurant around 4:15 and the waitlist said about an hour wait. Got in about 30 minutes later which was nice. Little loud inside but from other patrons and not music blasting like some other places.

The banchan was not my favorite in San Diego. Kimchi was good and the salad but that’s about it for what I liked. I honestly won’t get the premium menu again either. I wasn’t blown away with the extras you get from the A2 menu. The ribeye was ok but the only reason why I chose premium. The marinades were a little light for me on the bulgogi or anything with teriyaki on it but now I know to ask for more sauce.

It was a solid ayce and great service but I’ll probably stick with TGG.
