Ordered sushi and bento box. Old lady had attitude for no reason and served me cup of warm tap water(no ice). The miso soup was gross and watered down. Salad and orange slices looked old from night before.This is my 3rd time ever leaving any review. This place sucks and I'll never go back. Awful quality of food and service.

Very good. I had the chirashi and all of the fish was fresh and tasty. It was loaded with fish too! Nothing stingy here. The miso soup was really good too.

First time customer! More of a classic sushi restaurant feel! Would be a cool date spot as the ambience is very intimate! Food ordered: Bento A; salmon teriyaki and tempuraVolcano roll! Five start for first feelings will adjust after eating!

I chose to try this place out based on the reviews. The atmosphere was okay, but the smell of the restaurant was off like cleaning supplies. The woman who served us was very nice. My cousin and I came to in to the restaurant for the ramen. I can see that most of the 4/5 star reviews is for sushi. I read several other people saying the same thorns about my experience. The ramen was so incredibly bland. I ordered the veggie ramen and the tofu in it was tiny pieces you could barely see and seemed like dehydrated tofu pieces. There was really no flavor at all and the noodles felt like instant noodles. The whole ramen experience was worse than buying packaged ramen noodles from the store.

Was craving soup, so we decided to come here for a weekday lunch. We ordered the Chashu Miso Ramen, the Tempura Udon, and a Dragon roll to share. The portion of food was great for a mid-day lunch. I really enjoyed the miso-base broth, so that was excellent for its price point! Our food came out right away, which was great!The restaurant has a lot of seating available, being a smaller shop. We luckily came at the right time and was able to be seated very quickly even at noon!Our server was great. She was attentive to us filling our waters, helped us order exactly what we wanted, she even packaged our leftovers.Great place for a quick lunch with a good size portion! Definitely will come again when craving udon as well!

We came here because we wanted to try a new sushi spot in town. We're pretty married to our usual spot and decided to go outside the norm. This place had been recommended to us by a couple that also loves our usual spot. It was good, service was extremely friendly. Our server was great about making suggestions as to what people love from there. Casual spot with lots of options to choose from. I have to say it didn't beat our favorite, but it's a great place for when we want to stay a little closer to home while still enjoying delicious sushi.

Get the Bento lunch box! You won’t be disappointed!
The food was too bad but the odor, the smell in the restaurant was very strong and unpleasant special when the air conditioning is not on. I don't know where the odor coming from but please check on it..... just take a walk outside for 2-5 minutes then enter the restaurant then you will notice the smell. I wrote this because i just want to help the owner to get a better business in the future, i have nothing against you ... just want to help and hope you understand.Thanks and good luck with business .

Out of all the ramen shops I had eaten at, the ramen here tasted like instant ramen. But they do give me an abundance of toppings.

I first came to Manpuku close to ten years ago now. I haven't dined here lately but stopped in last week for a weekday lunch. They had a few other customers but we were seated right away. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Service was quick even as they had takeout orders coming in as well. I really enjoyed the BBQ tuna bento and their spider roll was good. Their menu is quite large so I look forward to trying something new next time.
