I came here again with the same friend nearly 1 year after my first visit. I was surprised to see so many people waiting for Manpuku to open, but I guess that's just a sign of how good it is.
I went for the kake udon again (I'm cheap ok?) and got the takosen + salad combo option with it for an extra $2. The kake udon once again, is delicious. They don't skimp on noodles but there's a lot of soup so when you look at it you wonder if you'll be full or not from it. By the end of the meal though I was totally full, like pregnant full. The takosen to my tastebuds and eyes is no different from takoyaki except there's 3 balls instead of 6 (but think of the price difference!!) and the salad was very good; dressing was light so I think it was pretty healthy but taste was fantastic as well.
It's a very relaxing place in the morning especially because I went when classes had already ended. I'll be coming back when school starts again, to use the glorious food of Manpuku to heal myself from the pain of student life.
