   Had a wonderful experience taking one of my friends out for her birthday here. The staff was absolutely pleasant and very kind. Service was spectacular. The food was amazing, we ordered the Wagyu Tasting. Exceptionally executed with fine quality meat. I would definitely come back.

   Good was great. It was genuine Japanese Yakiniku quality. But we were strongly pushed out of the seats with 99 minutes. Even received high pressure of leaving the restaurant when we were still grilling meats. They can be a bit nicer with more relaxing way.

   This spot was a bit of a letdown. While the salad and the pork toro were both excellent—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared—the marinated meats were just way too salty. It overpowered the natural flavors and made it hard to enjoy. For the price, I expected better balance and quality. The overall experience felt a bit overpriced for what we got. Not terrible, but I wouldn’t rush back.

   Manpuku consistently offers top quality food and services. Kentaro, the manager, runs a tight ship to make certain that the customers are happy and satisfied. Best Yakiniku restaurant, bar none.

   This is one of my favorite restaurants. The experience is always 10/10z the servers are so friendly and accommodating. Their homemade desserts are a perfect end to the meal.
