I've been coming to Manpuku since it first opened - the quality has gone down over the years, but it's still my go-to place for simple, cheap eats. I went most recently on a Saturday around 1pm with two friends and it was easy to get seated. My go-to's
- Curry Udon (beef): Everyone's fav.
- Takoyaki (6pc to share): This used to be their best dish but the octopus bits were significantly smaller than before and the bonito flakes were more like crumbs.
As usual, the staff were friendly, attentive, bill splitting champs. Overall, we paid less than $10 each for decent, filling food in a sit down restaurant - it's hard to find restaurants downtown like this these days. The menu prices have never changed and my wallet loves that, but I'd be more than happy to pay a bit more if the ingredient quality could reflect the old days
