    Comfortable seating environment and smells good to me when entering the restaurant. Love the beef choices and starters. Recommend that garlic fried rice be a little drier.

    Our food was really good, but we were disappointed that they charged extra for sauce and didn’t disclose that to us when we ordered it. My friend was also unable to order another drink because they already did last call, but didn’t mention that this was for food and drink. We were celebrating his birthday so he was disappointed.

    Wow, this place was amazing! I’m so happy I finally found a spot with a gorgeous atmosphere, a cool vibe, and—most importantly—top-notch quality BBQ meat. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to an all-around great experience. I’ll definitely be back

    Delicious food and cozy atmosphere. Perfect for a date or a family dinner. I wish they had sparkling water otherwise everything was wonderful.

    Only complaint was that we had to wait 15 min for a table after our reservation time but it was a very busy night and everything was amazing.

    For the price, the meat quality was very underwhelming. We ordered the A5, ribeye, and chuck. Compared to other A5s I’ve had in the past, the meat was not all that buttery and lacked that “melt-in-your-mouth” quality. We found the wagyu ribeye to be a lot more tasty though a single order felt overpriced. Based on the server’s recommendation we also ordered the wagyu chuck next, which appeared to have a beautiful marbling in the picture on the menu but it literally took me 3-5 minutes to chew down one piece so we ultimately had to send it back. I generally hate to send things back but the server understood and took it off of our bill, which she was gracious about. Asparagus, Kimchi, Manpuku salad, and Uni Kobe Beef Sashimi were all fine though not revelatory. Overall value I thought was pretty poor for the meat quality and overall satiation. We ordered one alcoholic beverage and one juice in addition and the bill came out to about $300 with tax/tip.

    I have always loved dining at Manpuku, and it never disappoints! My new personal favorite is the Kobe Sukiyaki wrap—it's absolutely delicious and something I highly recommend trying. The entire team, from the front desk to the servers, is incredibly nice and attentive, making the whole experience even better. For parents, this place is very kid-friendly. They offer high chairs and are very understanding if you’re bringing little ones along, which is a huge plus. Highly recommend Manpuku if you're looking for great food and great service!
