Manpuku Japanese Eatery has been known for their udon dishes and YES THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The Niku Udon (Beef w/ Udon) and the Tsukimi Udon (Wakame Seaweed, Tempura Bits, and Fried Egg w/ Udon) were ordered by me and a friend, the 3rd person ordered Gyuudon (Beef Rice Bowl). I'm going to have to say that all were worth their price if not more and I love handling my money wisely and this place's QUALITY & QUANTITY for under $10 makes me want to live here (almost).
The Niku Udon was a light broth with perfectly cooked thin slices of beef. You can't go wrong with its simplicity here.
The Gyuudon was a simple rice bowl dish with lightly stir fried slices of thinly cut beef and there was plenty of enough flavour and juices for my friend to enjoy it. However, they're an extremely big eater so it didn't fill them up as much as they'd like.
It would be cool if they had a regular size and a larger size with an extra dollar or two and I would definately pay for it too.
The Tsukimi Udon I ordered was BLISS. Heavenly bliss.
The tempura bits added that familiar sweet flavour I would get in ebifry, the wakame had that refreshingly salty sea flavour, and the egg was the perfect amount of protein addition! The broth flavour was light enough to perfectly hold the entire bowl together. A homey, perfect symphony in my mouth.
The thing is with Udon VS Ramen is that even if you did order thicker ramen noodles, udon noodle's thickness still wins in the long run. Thinner noodles are meant for more flavour packed broth like Miso based broths. Udon noodles are already so thick that being in a light broth and subtler flavours makes you enjoy the dish as a whole lot better and Manpuku executes this elegantly. Did I forget to mention how cheap it is to fill me up???
I also ordered the Fish Cakes made with burdock root and it was SO GOOD. Felt so right at home with this side dish to my udon.
My friends finished off the HOMEMADE flans they make here and licked every last drop of the caramel, it was so good ugh!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't get one because my friend ordered the last one sobs...
They also sell japanese snacks up at the front and I love their cheesecake! INFINATELY BETTER THAN UNCLE TETSU's SUGAR JOKE OF A CAKE! And I bet if you bought enlugh the same cost as UT's cheesecake, it's the same size but with better quality lol. The dorayaki with red bean is always a recommend, never too sweet.
Can't wait to come here again!
