Through inspiration, passion and dedication, Manna Heaven BBQ was founded February of 2010 in Convoy, San Diego. We wanted to open up a Korean BBQ spot that allowed us to introduce the Korean culture of cooking and dining together, all while providing quality meats at an affordable price to ensure that everyone in our community is able to experience our long-held tradition of Korean BBQ.
Korean BBQ is made to enjoy hot and fresh off the grill with family and friends who all contributed to helping cook the perfect dish. We have different meat choices including marinated and non-marinated, as well as seafood and banchan (Korean side dishes) made in-house to enjoy along with the meats. Although there is no “perfect” or “right” way to cook Korean BBQ, the most popular way of cooking is to season the grill with an onion first, then cooking the non-marinated meats before the marinated meats. The kimchi, given as banchan, tastes amazing when cooked in the oil that spills over from the meats that have been on the grill. You have choices of garlic, peppers, rice paper, along with soondubu (tofu soup), and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste soup) to enjoy and spice up your experience as well.
With the growing popularity of KBBQ, we have now expanded our locations to San Marcos, Chula Vista, Mira Mesa, and in Texas and Arizona. Coming soon will be another location in National City inside Plaza Bonita with our newest addition of Manna Shabu. This store will be a fusion of all you can eat as well as shabu shabu, allowing guests to enjoy individual pots along with delicious meats.
