via Google Mia was amazing. Very punctual and took care of me like I was a daughter visiting from home. They have really cool machines that bring the food out, plays music, drop it off, then it goes back to the kitchen. The meat is good quality . First time try the hot pot and I like the variety of base and ingredients. For the BBQ they’re no different in prices for lunch. They serve the same thing everyday with plenty of things to choose from. It was worth the 45 minute dirve.

Tanya Rvia Google We had such a great time at Manna Korean BBQ! The quality of the meat was top-notch, and every bite was packed with flavor. The side dishes were authentic and plentiful, and the grill service was quick and efficient.
What really made the experience stand out was Mia, our waitress. She was absolutely excellent friendly, professional, and so attentive to every detail. She checked on us often, gave great recommendations, and made sure our table was always ready for the next round.
10/10 experience — highly recommend and will definitely be back soon!

Santiagovia Google This was my first visit. I really liked that most of the food options were labeled. Everything tasted fresh. The meat options were good. They give you small portions. Our waitress even suggested that we order 2 orders of each meat. The small portions help towards the end. The staff was great. They were friendly and very helpful. My only minor complaint was on some of their chairs. They were hard and a bit uncomfortable. They do have padded chairs and booths. It was not a big deal, I just moved to the booth side. The restaurant was clean. We came in right when it opened, and it was pretty empty for half an hour. When we left, the place was probably 75% full. If you haven’t tried hot pot/shabu-shabu, this is a very good place to start. I will definitely be back.
FYI, they have a robot that drops off plates of meat.

Jeri Q.via Google This was my very first time dining at Manna Shabu & BBQ (Lewisville location) while visiting for a concert weekend, and I have to say—it was such a wonderful experience! They were even having a special collaboration with a local small business vendor for the Ateez concert and offering a complimentary Lemon Drop mocktail for each diner, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch.
From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. I believe it was the owner or manager who greeted me, and when he learned it was my first visit, he kindly explained the menu, the dining options, and where to find the different food and sauce stations. I was then shown to my table where a very sweet server brought me water and took my order. Throughout my meal, two other staff members as well as the owner/manager checked on me often. The service was beyond excellent—everyone was attentive, helpful, and genuinely kind.
Now onto the food—oh my gosh, the portions were incredible! I ordered three different meats and was so pleasantly surprised at the generous serving sizes. At most KBBQ places, one order barely feels like enough for a single person, but here, each order was hearty and satisfying. I couldn’t stop raving about it to my boyfriend and mom while on the phone during my meal! The meat was fresh, high-quality, and delicious—even without dipping sauces. The corn cheese also deserves a special shout-out—it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had.
Beyond the main dishes, there were so many great options: hot plates like mandu, sausage, japchae, fried rice, and chicken; a nice selection of banchan; an ice cream station for dessert; and a wide variety of sauces to complement everything. The restaurant itself was very clean, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and even the restrooms were spotless. I also loved that the TVs played some of my favorite K-pop groups and the music playlist was absolutely top tier—it really added to the fun vibe.
Dining here as a solo traveler, I never once felt uncomfortable or out of place. On the contrary, I felt taken care of and treated like a QUEEN. It was such a comforting and memorable experience, and I am so thankful for the outstanding hospitality and service I received.
I highly recommend Manna Shabu & BBQ and can’t wait to come back with my family the next time I’m in town. Thank you for making my first visit such a wonderful one!
