My girlfriend and I have never been to a Japanese BBQ and Manpuku has set the standard high. It was an amazing experience all around and it was some of the best meat we’ve ever had. We’re going back again tonight and can’t wait for more fabulous experiences here!

Christmas Eve dinner chose this restaurant this year. The first time I tried Japanese BBQ, the experience was very good. The food recommended by the waiter was excellent, and the meat is really nice and fresh. Highly recommend “Kobe sukiyaki wrap” and “Uni & Kobe beef sashimi.” Will come again!

We usually go to the Sawtelle location. West Hollywood location was definitely disappointing. One is the service. It just wasn't good. Slow and not knowing any order on the menu. Two, the meat was great, BUT THEY OVERSEASON EVERYTHING like EVERYTHING!! It was salty. The inside is very nice at this location but if you are going to Manpuku, SAWTELLE LOCATION is where you wanna be.

It was my husband‘s birthday so we decided to try something new. this had rave reviews so we went there. The food was amazing the service was amazing. One weird thing though the napkins were like take-out napkins. I thought that was very surprising and we asked for more napkins. But they were really cheap terrible napkins you would get when you order hamburgers at a takeout restaurant. I thought there would’ve been cloth napkins or at least nicer paper dinner napkins. But maybe there was a problem getting them, who knows? The only other thing was the table next to us were two guys and they were using foul language in their conversation that was pretty loud. Put a little dampener on it. My husband and I just looked at each other every time we heard the F bomb. But I don’t know if there’s anything you can do about that unless they were unruly and they weren’t Overall the food was beyond our expectations and the service was amazing!!

We love Manpuku! The food is delicious and in abundance. I went with my fiancé for a late dinner and we did the Kobe course. The meat is so tender and melts in your mouth, and the soup is by far the best I’ve had. Cooking over the fire is fun and the ice cream that ends it is the cherry on top! Highly recommend!!

If you’re looking for a good Japanese bbq, this is the right place to go. Their shrimp is a must have, and if you can, order their prime meat. Worth it! Don’t forget to try their delicious matcha pudding in the end. Service was great and ambiance was cozy.

This place had a lot of potential. However, the wait time for the food was terrible. It took 30 minutes to get the meat. The Kobe meat was delicious though. However, it was difficult to get a grill change which affected the food quality. The Kimchi rice was served after a 40 minute wait. Noise level was horrible. The place was like a dive bar. Overall, it was a mediocre food experience. Don’t celebrate special occasions here.

Overrated. This is the restaurant for you if: (1) you love to not able to even think because of the loudness of conversation in the restaurant, (2) you love a restaurant with exorbitant prices and you will do ALL the cooking at your table yourself, (3) you love paying $32 for 4 one inch pieces of supposed top beef (but is simply average). I wouldn't return to this overrated restaurant if the food was free.

I really enjoyed trying a yakiniku restaurant. The service was just great and the food was delicious. Grilling over a flame, as opposed to a Korean-style pan, added a lot to the flavor. I think there might have been a problem with the ventilation system, however, because by the end of the evening, our eyes were burning and we were pretty stuffed up. It was probably a bad night, ventilation-wise, but otherwise, I'd go again in a heartbeat!
