Manna Korean BBQ - Carrollton

We came at opening on a Tuesday and were very impressed with service and quality. There's plenty of seating and there are fans that help keep the smoke from hitting you in the face.The menu has a nice selection but I was disappointed they they didn't have short ribs, but rather they had the boneless option which isn't as good in my opinion. The scallion salad and regular salad were phenomenal, along with the tofu soup. We really enjoyed the bulgogi along with the pork cheek. The ban chan here wasn't quite my favorite, since I've become accustomed to my own style, but they still weren't bad at all.Overall I'd definitely come back for the delicious bulgogi and scallion salad.

So surprised that Manna's rating isn't higher! While the quality of the meats aren't the best, I still think it's pretty decent, especially for the price! The menu options are pretty extensive and the servers are quick with bringing out orders, coming when you ring for them, and switching out the grills. I mean, I did wish they had some other banchan like cucumbers and mashed potatoes. But the main focus is on the meat and sides anyways! And the corn cheese and steamed egg were so good.

There's a reason I don't do AYCE anymore...this place reinforced it.First, I want to say the staff there are the best! Super nice and they change the grill out without having to ask. Might have been because it was a Tuesday night and it wasn't busy...still. Amazing service. The Korean aunties there are the best!The meats that we did like were the brisket, beef belly, pork jowl and the marinated galbi, albeit a little thin and the marinade was a bit on the sweet side. I liked the thinly sliced pork belly as well. The meats we didn't care for...their Manna signature prime steak (SUUUUPER thin and not great) and their nuk gan sal (too rubbery). The sides were great though. Definitely get the soft tofu soup (softest tofu I've ever had), corn cheese, steamed egg, scallion salad, and my favorite the ramyun. The ramyun was perfectly cooked...noodles still a little chewy and the broth not over poweringly salty. Perfect way to end the meal! Overall, for the price, it wasn't too bad...but they need to upgrade their prime steak...that thing was thinner than flank steak.

The food is fresh and delicious. You can choose soup base. Then you can choose side dishes and veggies along with sauces. I went to mala tang. It was yum. The service is great. They keep our water filled and always checking. Good ambiance and restrooms are clean.

Cheap kbbq! You will get lower quality but it's AYCE for $28.99 so you can't miss with that. Service and seating was extremely clean and attentive so it's great to go in a big group. We tried a few meats.1. Beef brisket: 7/10. Very fatty compared to regular brisket. Nothing too bad 2. Spicy pork belly: 8/10. The cut of meat was so good and marinated but it wasn't really spicy. If they add more gochujang to it Itd be perfect. 3. Teriyaki squid: 7/10. Honestly it's only 2 bites and it's not too bad. It's more chewy. 4. Cajun shrimp: 3/10. Very hard to eat and all the seasoning is on the shell- so it kind of goes away once you peel it. First kbbq place I've been to that serves unpeeled shrimp. I'd skip this option.5. Boneless galbi: 7/10. Very small portion and the cut of meat was somewhat tough? 6. Manna signature prime steak: 8/10. Extremely tender. Wish it was marinated better.The steam eggs were so fluffy but was missing the traditional touch of sesame oil. Same with the jjigae side soup- it was great but just missing a touch of something. I'd go here if your in a budget or with someone who doesn't typically eat Korean food.

Very stimulating setting with plenty of televisions and high energy music. The service to order additional meat and sides was very slow and customer service could improve. Very minimal service and quality meat cuts for the price. I would try some where else before returning but this is a great go to if in doubt. Hope your experiences improve. Chow

FOODCheese CornSteamed EggLots of MeatOverall everything tastes good. Meat is fresh and not slimy. Well seasoned meats and nicely cut. It's AYCE Probably one of my higher ranked Korean BBQ places. Would definitely come back!VIBESGreat place to hangout or catch up with friends. I always love the vibes of Korean BBQ because you can talk and have fun while cooking food. Well lit in the area we sat but surrounding is on the darker side. I like how the stove is rectangle shaped. SERVICEService was great! We had a party with around 15-20 people (I don't remember the exact number) but they were fast to get out the meats. They were quick to respond when we wanted to order. A bit slow on the grill change but that's alright. They also told us about the bill and how it already included tip and everything which was pretty nice.

Honestly not sure why this place has a low review. The cost was $94.15 for three AYCE before tip so after tip, it was $37 per person. For AYCE, and in this economy? A gem. But here's the thing, I thought the food would be mid considering how affordable it was. WRONG. The meat was so good, we had like 9+ rounds of meat? Recommend #24,#3 and #22. The OG selection so you can't go wrong here. The Korean lady was SO QUICK with their service. Never had to ask for a water refill. Never had to ask them to take our plates away. Never had to ask for more meat. Never had to ask for a grill change. They were so attentive and ready for us to order more. So impressed. We went around 6pm and when you left, there was a long line near the door. So impressive 12/10

We went during lunch but it seems like items and price is the same as dinner regardless. Overall one of the best kbbq places i've been to though, really yummy food and fast service. We had the chadol, beef belly, thinly sliced pork belly, scallion salad, steamed egg, and corn cheese and everything was sooo good. Will come again :Ddon't know if it was just my table or not but it was a little cramped tho, not much leg room, my knees were pressed against the table the whole time zzz but yeah

Great service and food! very kind staff. Young Ju is one of our favorite severs, she's is so friendly and helpful!
