Their food is lazy trash. Their sausage is gray like it was microwaved, their ribs have no seasoning our smoke flavor, their brisket just tastes like roasted unseasoned meat. Their mac'n cheese tastes of wet noodles and their beans... their beans are actually not terrible. The cornbread... standard, surprisingly. And once again their spicy BBQ sauce literally tastes like tabasco. Gross. Terrible establishment. Unethical tik tok restaurant trying to make a buck off internet trends. Fake BBQ to the max.

That's a hard feat for me and my other half bc we are picky! But this was great, and we tried a bunch of stuff. So, the man- well he was thoroughly satisfied with his full on bbq platter of brisket and meat and the carne asada tacos the next day. lol. I tried a bite and the meat was so juicy and tender - extremely well cooked and seasoned and just Melt in your mouth - LIKE BUTTER!!! I, on the other hand, have been craving shrimp, don't know why, but they had it on the menu, so figured I'd try - and the smoked shrimp tacos- man OH man - so delishious! Yup! I spelled it wrong on purpose - de-lish. The fried shrimp tacos too and my other craving- Cole slaw. Yummie - I should have ordered more than I did because it was so refreshing and crisp and sweet and just perfect. Mac and cheese creaminess was adored by both of us, wanting more of that too! The only thing I didn't care for, which was slightly disappointing, was the cornbread. Quite dense for me. I couldn't enjoy it. So kind of a shame. And I got a Shirley temple to boot while we waited! Who doesn't love an old fashioned Shirley temple! We had decided to go in person to place our order bc we felt like it needed the 'in person attention', which was good bc the bartender takes the orders and there seems to be ' regulars' at the bar and the attention definitely goes more towards the bar then the phone- so I'm very glad we ordered in person or else it might have been messed up. Just being honest. Even were interrupted mid order by another 'patron' to the staff about plans or something. So that was kind of annoying as we had to repeat that item 3 times to get it correctly ordered. But overall. We will definitely go back, try other menu items and have definitely recommended already. Happy to have found a good bbq spot semi-near where we currently live.

Last night, my wife, daughter, and I celebrated my wife's 37th birthday, and what an incredible…read moredecision this turned out to be. While searching for reservations, I came across Manpuku Japanese BBQ. I honestly didn't know much about it, but a handful of photos immediately caught my attention. Something about the presentation, atmosphere, and quality of the food made me curious enough to give it a shot. I was fortunate enough to secure a reservation the day before and sent the restaurant a message letting them know we would be celebrating my wife's birthday. Right away they were accommodating, responsive, and excited to help make the evening special. Parking was probably the most difficult part of the entire experience. We happened to get lucky and grabbed a spot just as another car was leaving. If not, I believe there is additional parking available nearby, but thankfully we didn't have to worry about that. Walking into the restaurant was my first surprise. For some reason, I expected a large bustling dining room. Instead, Manpuku felt intimate and welcoming. The soft lighting and wood accents created a cozy atmosphere that felt perfect for a special occasion. The restaurant was also spotless, with clean and organized dining areas and grilling stations. Instead of seating us at a traditional table, we were escorted to a private-style dining area where we removed our shoes before stepping into the seating space. It immediately made the evening feel unique and added to the intimate atmosphere. Now let's talk about our server. Hannah was outstanding. Since it was our first visit, she walked us through the menu, explained the different cuts, discussed preparation methods, asked about allergies, and provided recommendations throughout the evening. She was knowledgeable, professional, and personable, making us feel genuinely welcomed. Her attention and care helped make my wife's birthday dinner memorable. For our meal, we selected the A5 Wagyu Omakase. The experience started with beautifully presented appetizers, including Uni and Beef Sashimi, Seared Beef Sushi, Japanese salad, kimchi, and several small bites. The seared beef sushi was rich and buttery, while the Uni paired wonderfully with the beef. The A5 Wagyu selections were the highlight of the meal. Chuck short rib, culotte, chuck roll, and inner skirt each offered distinct textures and flavors, all showcasing the richness and tenderness that make A5 Wagyu special. The quality was evident in both the presentation and taste. And then there was the A5 Umami Rice. Despite being part of a Wagyu-focused meal, it stood out as a flavorful and comforting dish that kept everyone reaching for another bite. The drinks were refreshing and paired well with the meal. One thing that made the evening even more special was being able to share the experience as a family. Between the intimate atmosphere, attentive service, and excellent food, it felt like more than just dinner. To top everything off, the staff surprised my wife with a birthday dessert presentation complete with a candle and thoughtful decoration. Seeing the smile on her face while celebrating alongside our daughter made the moment even more meaningful and reflected the hospitality we experienced throughout the night. For anyone considering the A5 Wagyu Omakase, come hungry. While the presentation is elegant, the experience includes multiple courses and a generous amount of food. By the end of the meal we were completely satisfied and felt that the experience justified the price. Exceptional service, quality ingredients, excellent food, and an intimate atmosphere made for a memorable celebration.

Not sure how I missed reviewing this spot, but O. M. G. this BBQ joint makes you want to slap yo…read moremama! It is so delicious. I have only been once with my sister and her family after a morning of pickleball. Mostly every item is sold separately other than a couple of bowls and sandwiches. They do have family meals starting at $80+ which includes your pick of 4 meats and 4 sides. Unfortunately, the majority of items are upcharged, so it gets pretty pricey real quick. But they have some really interesting and delicious options since it's a fusion of BBQ with Asian flavors. The pick 4 family meal is advertised for 4 adults. It was 5 of us (3 adults and 2 kids) so we got the smallest of the meals. My sister and her husband really wanted the beef ribs (this is only available on Sundays, and it adds $40 to the total). We also got 1/2 rack of pork ribs (+$10), pulled pork and smoked brisket (+$4). My favorite of the meats was the brisket. Next time we said we will double up on that. For the sides, we got tallow fries (+$1), cornbread (+$1), sesame slaw, and pandana pudding (+$3). The honey butter they serve with the cornbread is sooo delicious and the sesame slaw has a unique zing to it. The pandana pudding was an AMAZING dessert!! Loved the pandan flavor in the banana pudding. Would definitely get that again. You wait a good while in line, and then they give you a buzzer while you wait and look for a table in the outdoor area. We got lucky and found a table with shade provided by an avocado tree. The establishment also has a variety of adult drinks on tap: beer, wine and selzters as well as canned/bottled drinks. They even have lemonades and sangrias at times. There is a sandbox, plenty of space for kids to run around, areas to climb, outdoor games like the giant connect 4 at times and sandbag toss. It's a great space to hang out and chill with the family. Can't wait to come back! Main con: you may have to park a couple blocks away. Some of the tables are in complete sun with little-to-no shade. Hopefully they get more shade options set up.

I chose the brisket, crispy pork belly, pork char siu, and pork ribs and added a sausage link. I selected the dirty rice, spicy cucumbers, beef tallow fries and coleslaw as our sides. Upon ordering we then went to find a seat. Your options are endless. There's actually no dining area inside the renovated house converted to a restaurant. There is seating outside along the perimeter of the house under shaded awning. There is also seating in teepees or a wooden bus or picnic tables throughout the cottage grounds. We chose to stay close to the main restaurant in order to get napkins and drink refills and bbq sauce and able to take in the Sunday afternoon football game on the big screen. The food was impressive for value as well as taste. All the meats were a hit. We especially enjoyed the crispy pork belly and pork ribs. The brisket was lacking juiciness but was smoky and tender and lacked a little salt. Our favorite side was the beef tallow fries, spicy cucumbers and the slaw with tangy vinaigrette helped cut the richness of the meats. We ended on the padana banana pudding which I thought was such a perfect way to end such a hearty smoky meat filled meal. Not overly sweet but chefs kiss delightful. I look forward to a return visit to try other meats and sides and desserts. Thanks @hungryformunchies for your instagram reel review.

Some fatty bits but that's where the flavor comes from. and this short rib was bomb! The edges were a bit dry but I'm coming at closing time so I get it. FYI short rib is by weight $40/lb so it was about $50 for it. The sides I got were their macaroni and cheese 10/10 tastes home made! Onion rings were ok. Coleslaw is alright. Good for fiber! lol. I do like their beans and the blueberry bread. I love their nachos but they ran out of nacho cheese. Sad! I gota come back!

Last summer, we ate at the famous Franklin BBQ in Austin, TX. This was comparable. We ordered the Beef Brisket, Pork Spare Ribs, and Pork Butt-Pulled Pork. We added a side of Smoked Sweet Corn and Smoked Mac & Cheese. Our order included a mini side of Slaw, Rolls, Pickles, and BBQ Sauce. The meat was very delicious and tender, and fell off the bone. The sides were also so very good!! They have a great set up: deli counter at the back of the Minute King Market & Deli. Staff is super nice and helpful. They open only on Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. Staff said a lot of the sides and specials are likely to sell out by noon or 1 p.m. but it just depends on the turn out. There was no one waiting when we arrived around 11 a.m. We also grabbed a couple of Angry Orchard hard ciders to pair with our barbecue. Next time, I'll try the poultry (turkey and chicken).

The seafood pancake had almost no seafood in it. The galibi were overcooked and burned, which made them unpleasant to eat. For the price, we expected much better quality. The service was also disappointing. When our server asked whether we wanted refills or the check, we told her we would like refills for all of our empty side dishes. However, only one refill was brought back. What bothered us most was that some of the plates felt sticky, making us question the cleanliness of the restaurant. We were excited to try this place based on the reviews, but the food, service, and cleanliness all fell far below our expectations. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.
