  • When you find out that there's a 2 hour wait for a table for late lunch at Gen, Manna BBQ does sound like manna from heaven! I do a lot of comparisons to Gen BBQ in this review. If that's what you're looking for, read on! The menu offers a premium and basic item set. The premium "A1" was $28.99 and the basic "A2" was $21.99. We went with the A2 since it was cheaper than Gen's price of $24.99 for weekend lunch. The selection of meats for both the A1 and A2 isn't as elaborate and they don't have as many marinades as Gen but it got the job done at satisfying my unlimited grilled meat cravings for the day. The portions seem to be larger here at Manna but the trade off was while service was still good, it wasn't as attentive as the service we received at Gen for ordering more items or for grill changes. But to be fair, they have a ton of staff at Gen vs. this smaller restaurant which only had 2 servers. Also, some the cuts of meat are thicker so it takes longer to cook. The grill seemed to heat up faster at Gen than at Manna and it also seemed easier to control the grill temperature at Gen so that your meat didn't burn (Or maybe I didn't notice any char on the grill at Gen due to the very frequent grill changes offered). The A2 item set includes 15 different meats and 6 non-meat items such as jap chae and steamed egg. Out of the 15 we indulged in 6 of them (Bulgolgi, chadol naegi/brisket, spicy chicken, spicy samgyup sal/spicy pork belly, LA YangNyum Galbi/LA marinated beef ribs, and spicy pork galbi). Out of all the meats I'd say my favorite was probably the bulgolgi. In general while they tasted good I found the marinade sauces pretty basic and a lot of them tasted similar (The marinades were either a sweet brownish bulgolgi or galbi sauce or a spicy reddish sauce it seemed like) vs. the more unique marinated meats at Gen. You can order up to 3 items at a time and your meal comes with plenty of banchan, rice and a large salad. The atmosphere is pleasant and there were a lot of nice booths to sit at. There was no wait at all to get seated. Overall it was an enjoyable experience despite being our second choice for AYCE Korean BBQ and the price was slightly cheaper per person. Still.... while I liked the food and atmosphere here I'm still Jonesin' for some Gen!
