I have been to this location so many times and I have had such good experiences and such good service and tonight was an exception to my past experiences, Ethan the assistant manager on duty who was supposed to be serving us disappeared after visiting the table once after getting us water. When we were finally able to almost yell at someone to come to our table we waited almost 10 minutes until we had to get up to get someone to come and change the grill. After asking for the manager Ethan walked over to the table with food in his mouth laughing that we asked to speak to a manager. After explaining why we asked for the manager he laughed it off and said someone would be over soon. While I do feel bad for not leaving a tip I feel as though the actions the staff presented tonight did not deserve it. Please for the sake of the other patrons do better.

Super fun experience, I've never had Korean BBQ in a restaurant like this before. Not bad for a first time visit. I'm a pescatarian so my dishes were somewhat limited. The seafood offerings are great don't get me wrong. I was with family and it was a wonderful experience overall. The bulgogi, baby octopus, chicken, beef, sides were tasty?, everyone had a great time we were there for like 2hrs?, we have a big family. Corn cheese... get it!!

Yesterday was my first time Korean barbecue located right here in my hometown of San Marcos,I had no idea we had this gem, here in our hometown. The food was exquisite! If you’re looking for something new with variety and several options for a reasonable price. This is your place. It’s family oriented and accommodate both small and large groups.

Manna is an excellent and consistent 'All You Can Eat' (AYCE) Korean BBQ. The staff that is at this location is always friendly and helpful. The food that comes to the table is really good. They offer 2 different menu options, more or less Premium or Basic. Either one is a great option and has a variety to choose from. The sides offered are the same on either. Soon Dubu (Soybean Tofu Soup) is really great here. Especially when it cold or raining outside!This location can easily accommodate large parties. People are often celebrating with large gatherings here. The decor has been updated recently. Parking is hit and miss. There is a medium sized parking lot with plenty of parking. It can get full in the evenings right in front.Bring a jacket if you are going to have to wait out front. It can be very cold right by the door or out front.Vegetarian options: If you have to, there are vegetarian options. It's a meat or seafood oriented dining experience.Dietary restrictions: You can pick what you want to eat to meet and dietary needs.Parking: Lots of parking, wheelchair accessible parking.Kid-friendliness: Great place to bring the whole family. There are often large families dinning here.Wheelchair accessibility: Up front spots and ramp accessible

Omg this was my first experience here and it was amazing. The arugula salad was so good so we're bean sprouts. The meat was delicious. The staff was amazing and the best way I can describe the inside is just very light and open I play a lot of hogwarts legacy and it gave me mad hufflepuff common room vibes with the plants and lights and what not. Best place for a date night we came for our anniversary can't wait to be back at some point not to mention the strawberry and expresso macaroons were to die for I should have asked for 2 macaroons

My sister and her friends went to eat, the one who attend on their table gave them terrible service, I don't recommend this restaurant if it were up to me I would put thousands of bad reviews because the service was really disgusting, well when they were just looking at the menu the waitress pressured them to order immediately and they hadn't been looking at the menu for long. When the waitress went to leave the food she was angry. She looked at them with anger and disgust for no reason, They don't deserve to be treated that way. I know very well to my sister and she is not rude so I still don't understand why they gave them terrible service, you are supposed to go to those places like that so you can cook to your liking but she threw the meat on the grill and put butter on them when they didn't want to put butter. They were not halfway through their meal when the waitress went to give them the check, apart from that she forced them to give a tip and not what they wanted but rather specific how much the tip was, it is not fair to give a tip for a bad service. She threw away everything she was going to leave on the table and we don’t go to the restaurants to be treated badly.Name the waitress is YunJeong???

When the waitress went to leave the food, she left them all angry. She looked at them ugly. There was no reason to treat them like that. Maybe they had done something, but I know. very good to my sister and she is not rude so I still don't understand why they gave them terrible service, you are supposed to go to those places like that so you can cook to your liking but she threw the meats on the grill and put butter on top when they didn't want to put butter. They were not halfway through their meal when the waitress went to give them the receipt, apart from that she forced them to give them a tip and not what they wanted but rather specific how much the tip was, it is not fair to give a tip for a bad service. He threw everything he was going to leave on the table and you don't go to restaurants to be treated badly.That one's name is YunJeong.
