" From the moment I stepped in, I felt a warm and authentic vibe. The selection of meats is spectacular, and each bite was delectable. I recommend the ribeye and garlic rice, paired perfectly with their house sauce. Even though it was busy, the staff maintained a friendly demeanor. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I was here, it was perfect. But my second visit fell short. The service was lackluster and I felt rushed.

" Manpuku has quickly become one of my go-to dining spots! The attention to detail in food preparation is commendable. I love how the seasoning enhances the natural beef flavors without overshadowing them. Plus, the service staff is always so friendly. Definitely worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Each visit has shown me that Manpuku excels in high-quality Japanese BBQ. The environment feels like a traditional Japanese restaurant, and every dish seems thoughtfully prepared.

" I wasn't thrilled with my visit. The hype around the food didn't match my expectations. The meat was fine, but I had better elsewhere. Service was definitely lacking, and it felt like we were being rushed out. I may try again on a weekday when it's less busy, but it left me disappointed this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Manpuku is a gem, and I recommend the omakase. Each piece of meat was a masterclass in flavor. I was treated like royalty by the staff, and they kept coming by to ensure I had everything I needed. It may get pricey, but the experience was priceless. If you’re in the area, definitely a spot to check out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with the service during my last visit. I felt ignored at times, and it took forever to get the attention of my server. As for the food, while it’s tasty, I expected more sides. The atmosphere was nice, but the service really put a damper on things for me. I hope for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)
