My first encounter with Manpuku was based off a Yelp review when I was trying to find new and cheap eats in the area. Firstly, the location didn't do it many favors but once you get past the location, the food totally won me over.
My go-to dishes are usually the udon (kitsune or the curry udon) or the soboro don with an order of takoyaki (Yes, I will wait 20 minutes for it, thanks for the warning!). Overall, for the price and portion size, Manpuku is definitely worth a visit. I was full without the need to add extra noodles for the udon.
Overall, recommended if you are looking for an inexpensive, cheap place to eat without being overwhelmed with menu options. Avoid if you're looking for a quiet place where you have infinite amounts personal bubble space with fancy dishes.
