So I literally had Manpuku 2 hours ago and I am so glad that it meet expectations. I had the Niku Udon combo with soup and Takosen. The meal only cost me 10 dollars including a 20% tip for the incredibly friendly and helpful waitresses.
The niku udon itself was quite pleasant, the broth was very savory and hot and I actually burned my tongue a little cause I was eating with so much enthusiasm. The meat I had was beef and it was a little strange, I am not sure whether it's because it's not top quality beef or whether it was stewed for a long time but it wasn't unpleasant, either way with the price I'm not complaining. The udon noodles themselves were perfectly cooked, and there was a good amount of them in the large bowl.
The miso soup was quite average, maybe a little worst than your average miso soup but it was piping hot as well and very filling on a cold evening like the one I just had to endure. The Takosen though was another star of the show, basically it was just 3 takoyaki no senbei, not a problem. It took a while to cook but it felt good knowing that they were fresh. They were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside with a decent amount of small octopus pieces and perfectly flavored with okonomiyaki sauce and a bit of mayo.
Tl;dr Amazing food for the price, must try the takoyaki, friendly Japanese waitresses
