About This Place

Nestled in the heart of San Marcos, Manna Heaven BBQ offers an authentic Korean barbecue experience that delightfully engages all your senses. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere where the tantalizing aroma of grilling meats sets the tone for an unforgettable meal. Whether you’re a seasoned KBBQ enthusiast or trying it for the first time, Manna Heaven’s carefully curated menu promises something to excite every palate.

At Manna Heaven BBQ, the star of the show is undeniably the assortment of premium fresh and marinated meats that guests grill right at their table. From the tender, buttery Rib Eye Steak accompanied by a fragrant rosemary sprig and butter, to the spicy kick of Beef Tongue and Baby Octopus, each cut is thoughtfully prepared to bring out bold, authentic Korean flavors. Don’t miss out on the Galbi—marinated thin beef ribs that are perfectly glazed in a rich Korean BBQ sauce, creating a mouthwatering balance of savory and sweet.

The menu extends beyond meat, with irresistible sides and specialties like the creamy, indulgent Corn Cheese and the comforting Hot Pot that warms and satisfies on cooler evenings. Pair your meal with classic Korean staples such as the fresh, crisp Korean Vegetable Plate, or sample the diverse selection of salads including the Galbi Japchae Green Onion Salad and Spinach Sigeumchi Namul for a vibrant contrast to the grilled flavors. And for those who appreciate a good drink, the lineup features traditional Korean Soju alongside refreshing Sapporo Beer to perfectly complement the meal.

Manna Heaven BBQ also shines in its generosity and thoughtful catering options. The Family Bento Box, serving up to 35 people, offers a delightful communal experience with choices of KBBQ meats, rice, kimchi, pickled radish, fishcake, and crispy fried pork dumplings. For larger gatherings, the Manna Fresh/Marinated Meat Combos provide a feast fit for 68 or even 80 guests, making it an ideal option for celebrations or corporate events.

    Absolutely amazing experience! The food here is top-tier — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and high quality. You can really taste the care they put into everything. The all-you-can-eat option is a total steal for the quality you get, and the variety is insane. Service was fast, friendly, and super attentive the entire time. Great vibes, great value, and seriously some of the best food I’ve had in a while. 10/10 — definitely coming back!

    Ever since we’ve came here they’ve always been so accommodating! I have a fish allergy so they always find a spot for me at the place where I’ll be alright! Besides that, my boyfriend and I always know this is a perfect date night spot. The food is amazing. The workers are also very sweet!

    Great Korean BBQ spot with a really welcoming atmosphere. The quality of the meat was excellent and everything came out fresh and flavorful. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. The sides were delicious and refilled quickly, and the overall vibe made it a fun and comfortable place to eat with friends or family. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend to anyone looking for good Korean BBQ.
