Manna Bbq, San Diego, California Restaurant Details

Food:

Absolutely the worst customer service I’ve had in my life. I came in with my sister from Minnesota, as a party of two. I wanted my sister to see that San Diego was the most friendly and diverse environment there is. As soon as we came in and we implied that we were a party of two, they made a face.

They walked us to a very tight table, in the corner next two where the waiters were preparing dishes and piling dirty dishes. I was bumped into multiple times by the WAITERS.

Before we ordered we told them that it was our first time there and they didn’t seem to be helpful on how we should order. After we ordered we had a hard time BBQ-ing the meat. We burnt the top and the meat just stuck to it. While all this was happening the couples near us had a waiter help them BBQ and come back multiple times to refill their drinks and other side dishes; whereas, we saw our waiter 3 times (including the initial order stage).

Then I noticed that there was a pattern on the manner the service was designed: people that were dressed a little better were given the best attention. I didn’t catch on but when my sister pointed it out I was embarrassed. It was the most humiliating scene ever and I wish I could take back those moments. I don’t think ill ever go back there again. I wouldn’t recommend this place to any friend and I will never go back ever in my life.

I wrote on the recite that the service was bad with a frown. I decided not to give any tip because honestly the 51$ wasn’t even worth it. We left after 20mins btw. :(

Food:

Food is average, service is TERRIBLE! Staff needs to learn how to smile and quit being RUDE. I'm talking to you, owner. There's room for improvement.

Oh my goodness I am so full..

Manna is my favorite place for AYCE k BBQ!!!! I only enjoy eating it once every couple of months but when I do go this is the place to be.

Yes it is pricier than other places down the street but I think you should go ahead and spend the extra cash.

The staff is all mostly friendly. I park in the lot besides it next to the bank (don't know if it's legal but I do it anyways) if there is no street parking.

I only eat brisket. So my review is simply and only for it.

The appetizers they give are kinda mehhhh.. The potatoes were pretty bland dull but those little noodles they give you as well (am unsure of correct name/term) is my favorite dish there.

Note: Sprinkle salt/pepper on your meat so it isn't so flavorless. ENJOY!

Food:

WAIT TIME 40 MINS, SERVICE WAS GREAT. A2 21.95 ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET. THE BRISKET WAS MY PERSONAL BEST. NICE ATMOSPHERE AND KID FRIENDLY.
FYI-YOU WILL HAVE LEFTOVERS BUT NO TAKE OUT-WEIRD.

Food:

A pleasant culinary experience for those that don't try Asian cuisine often, or you have never had the pleasure of cooking your own food in a restaurant. The atmosphere is a dimly-lit, but modern take on a regular restaurant without all the goofy stuff on the walls or advertisements. The meat was well-flavored and cooking it takes a few minutes or less. It was nice to have a small task to do while chatting with friends and consuming some Asian beer. The beer selection was lacking, but I will give credit to them that they had a small diversity of Asian beer which can be difficult sometimes. Overall the experience is perfect for a night out with your special counterpart or a group of friends, the price was not exorbitant and I was pleased with my experience upon departing.
