Manna Bbq

When you come in you’ll have to get on the wait list but if you have help you can check your place in line through the app! Definitely recommend getting here at a decent time or anticipate a wait! I love coming here.m! So do my friends! We always start with the beef belly and beef brisket because it’s thin and cooked quick! For sides I get a steamed egg, their ramen and a side of ssamjang with white rice. It’s always a great experience.

Our 19yr old son went during Christmas 2021 to this Manna BBQ San Marcos location and told us that he & friends were served with Styrofoam and paper plates on everything except the soy sauce and pepper/salt dish. We thought maybe that Manna did that because they were kids or their dish washer called in sick. But today 2/21/22, my husband and I were too served with paper plates/bowls and red plastic cups for our water. We were shocked to pay $26.99 per person and get served this way. No sign or explanation as to why they are conducting business this way now. The food was good as usual. No complaints on that. We sent a photo of table to our son and he said his table looked a lot worse like he was at a house party.

Super awesome place!!! Tried cow tongue! You can ask for smaller portions! So if it's just 2 people, I'd recommend that, or else they bring large portions.. and you're charged for leftovers. They have a bunch of sides/garnishes placed at the table upon being seated. The kelp noodles were amazing! Definitely try the butter steak!! Had an ice cream macaron! Yummy!

Love me some meat sweats! Manna Korean BBQ has the best brown sauce ever and I literally put it on everything! (I wish I could buy it and bring it home) Highly Recommended items to order from Manna: - Chadol (brisket, so thin, so good with the sauce) - Steamed egg (This fluffy delicious egg is perfect to mix with the rice, sauce, and any of the meats) - Ribeye (if you go premium you have to go with a ribeye) - Bulgogi (marinated to perfection! Don't even need anything else but that rice with it) - Spicy Chicken (If you want a little kick to change things up, this is my go to spicy option)

I've been here multiple times, and honestly the staff are just not as friendly. Like they just want you in and out. I happened to get there right before they opened, and when I asked if they were open the girl at the counter snapped at me "11:30." Her attitude alone almost turned me away. Also I'm not sure if it's because I'm a black woman but I often am stared at by others for no reason really while I'm dining. It's a diverse area though, so sometimes I wonder if the employees aren't as friendly to me because of it. If there was another Kbbq restaurant close by, I'd be going there.
