MANPUKU, which means “to be happy with a full stomach” in Japanese, brings interactive Japanese yakiniku dining to Dallas with its first Texas restaurant, slated to open on Lower Greenville June 29.

We were first established in 1948 at the heart of Tokyo’s food hub. The restaurant curated its original, and now signature-styled dish, “Negi-Shio” meat, which has now become the standard of Japanese BBQ “yakiniku” dining.

As a pioneer of yakiniku with now more than 70 years of history, MANPUKU brings you the authentic “Taste of Tokyo” experience focuses on bites of raw protein and vegetables cooked tableside over small grills and eaten fresh and hot.

The server doesn’t know how to open the Champaign bottle. The cork hit the ceiling and next table. Very dangerous. Manager didn’t come to apologize. The food is pretty good. Though they should have better management.

We had a reservation and had a nice table for a friend's bday celebration. The food was good but not outstanding and the service was pretty good but for the price, we expected more. They took so long on the bday cake that we just decided to pay the check and leave. Overall, the food was good and the restaurant had a fun vibe. No valet and pretty expensive. Not sure if we will be back or not but still a fun evening !

I took my family to Manpuku Dallas for the first time on the 4th of July for their two year anniversary. I have no idea why I hadn’t thought of coming here sooner! Not only were the food and service great, I noticed the manager personally serving food, changing out grills, and cleaning tables. I saw him take great pride, satisfaction, and worked with a smile on his face and spring in his steps. That was actually the most memorable part of my visit there this evening. Although the restaurant is far from my house, I will be returning and make this a regular outing. I was definitely Manpuku this evening!

Food came out way too fast. We did the tasting menu and it showed up in 3 waves. Food was tasty and in line with expectations. Not an inexpensive Yakiniku option (but we knew that).

This was a very neat find in lower Greenville. My wife doesn't eat meat, but does love seafood and they had a good selection of both. Don't miss their garlic noodles as they are quite an experience. Wait staff was very attentive, and the quality of food was very good. Runs about $60 per person. As a bonus the best gelato in all of Dallas is across the street. Will definitely return.

Best Yakiniku place in DFW! There are many other Japanese and Korean style Yakiniku places in DFW and Manpuku is at the different level, no other places offers the quality of the meat Manpuku offers; it remind me of some high-end Yakiniku places in Japan.

Loved the vibe and the staff were very very kind! Our experience was interesting and was the first time going. The table grill kept breaking and when it was first turned on flicked hard bits at our faces. They kept trying to fix it but never really could. So, when we cooked our selections everything came out tough because you couldn’t get the grill hot enough to do a quick sear. The server was very slow at checking in and wasn’t able to answer questions or able to communicate the menu well. As for the food, overwhelming sweet for all of us. All meat was marinated in a heavy sweet sauce and we found it distracting. There were 3 of us, did the mid-range tasting, had 4 single Tito’s and sodas for a little over $300.

Tommy was a wonderful server for our first experience. Helped explain everything and show us how to use the grill. Food was fantastic! We got the signature- the Sukiyaki, Uni &Kobe Beef Sashimi, short rib and imported A5 were our favorites. Husband is allergic to shellfish and they were very accommodating to replace the shrimp. The Japanese Old Fashioned was a bit sweet for my taste but I’ve never had Japanese whiskey before either… Was still good. Will definitely be back!
