    Manpuku was pretty tasty! Tried the 4th of July wagyu special and it had a lot of side dishes… unfortunately, it was a little pricey for the ultimate amount of meat we got. Felt like we got a lot of filler sides (roasted corn, kimchi, beef stew, edamame, salad) and they were fairly slow bringing out the meat (20-25 min after sides). Quality of all the food was quite good. Just wished we could have gotten to the beef sooner… timing to grilled meats was pretty slow… final bill was a bit steep but quality and service was there…

    Overall really good experience. Servers were attentive and did not need to wait long for grill changes. Food quality was top notch. Pork jowl with yuzu is a must try 👌. Lychee sorbet ice cream is also 🔥
