Hidden in the Grange food court, Manpuku serves simple and cheap Japanese eats. Priced for the most part under $5, their udon are nice and chewy and based in a light dashi and topped with simple quintessential ingredients such as tofu or fishcakes. Other shareable tapas deriving a shoutout are the wasabi tako (wasabi octopus - very very strong wasabi taste), ochazuke (rice in a bowl of green tea dashi broth) and their takoyaki ($5 for 6!!)
Portions are generous and prices are very fair. Bring your friends and get ready to indulge in simple and homey Japanese food.
