All of it fresh, melt in your mouth. We also received a complementary alcoholic drink each, which was a nice touch. I'm only removing the 1 star for the ambience. It's quite a middle market vibe and we were asked to move tables to make way for a party of 7. They turned out to be a little painful but would definitely come back when it's quieter.

This place is like a Michael Bay blockbuster, all looks but no substance…read more The place is new, it looks fancy, the service is pleasant, and the food looks really good...but it fails to deliver and it's pretty underwhelming. For $13.90 a bowl a ramen, I'd expect it to have more than one piece of chashu...and a hot piece not a cold piece. It's $3.80 for 3 more pieces of chashu, meaning ~$18 for a bowl of ramen for 4 pieces of chashu. It would be a fair price if it were say Ippudo, but this place isn't even close. On top of that the egg was way overcooked. Meh. Manpuku takes a page out of Ramen Zundo's book and offers a Red (chili) and Black (soy) ramen and they also use bean sprouts and cabbage. Not necessarily bad, just different. The best part of the dish were the noodles since they're al dente...but overcooked egg, cold chashu, and a tepid broth make this place one I don't plan on frequenting again.

A step up from the local Sushi Train experience, the restaurant offers the familiar 'sushi on a plate' going round a track experience or you can enjoy the a la carte dining experience featuring a contemporary Japanese menu infused with traditional Japanese Izakaya dishes with Western ingredients & modern taste seated at a table. I advise you to make a reservation as I t can be very busy 6pm- 8pm Th, Fri,Sat. If you walk in without a reservation, you can expect to wait for about five to ten minutes to be seated. Joyce the manager usually welcomes you and organised your seating. The food choice is varied and easily ordered by the attentive wait staff. The Sushi plates on the rotating track are very good value for money. I like how you can order freshly made choices. There are so many to choose from! Sashimi- Salmon, Tuna, King Fish, Scampi, Scallops or Sushi favourites like inside out rolls - Salmon Tobiki, spicy soft shell crab, crumbled chicken, spicy tuna and seared scallops. Hot dishes are also available. Freshly fried or steamed Pork Gyoza, Karaage Chicken, Takoyaki Balls and Crab Claws. Salads - Soy Beans, Seaweed and mixed green salads add to your meal experience. The main a la carte menu choices are also my favourite. Plenty of choices - Tempura prawn,Tempura vegetables, Tora Karaage (chicken), Chicken or Waggu Beef Teriyaki. All dishes are served with rice. If you have room for it at the end you must try the Boom Alaska - Pandan meringue, green tea ice cream, sponge cake and Pandan curd. A mouth watering treat! I know some reviewers are saying this is NOT true Japanese cuisine but 'look alike food' created by Koreans and Chinese. Well I'm telling you - it doesn't have to be made by Japanese to taste like real Japanese food. Food ingredients are the same regardless of who makes it! End of story.

I choose healthy options most of times so I find the menu is limited here except for sashimi. 80% of entrees are deep fried! Sashimi is ok. For the overall experience and value it's 6 out 10. It's ordinary - eat out when you don't want to cook. Not for dining experience;)

I came here with some friends and my fiancé to celebrate our engagement and could not be more…read moredisappointed. We called ahead of time and were told to bring our own alcohol, which I have never heard of at a restaurant. We arrived and began eating. The chef started his show and serving food. He prepared a very small portion of beef and chicken for those of us sitting at the table, but I assumed there would be multiple servings, so I didn't mind at the time. The chef asked if any of us liked playing games, and my group said we weren't great at them, but he insisted. He threw us bowls and told us he would be throwing a raw egg at each of us that we would need to catch. He threw the raw egg at my fiancé, and she failed to catch it, resulting in raw egg whites, yolk, and shell all over her skirt. I was visibly upset and spoke up, saying that was enough, but the chef insisted on throwing another egg for her to catch, which also landed on her skirt. Without hesitation, the chef then threw an egg at me to catch, which I thankfully did not drop. After embarrassing my fiancé at the table, the chef cooked and folded an egg and told us he would be throwing the cooked egg into our mouths. He made an absolute fool of everyone at the table. The other party seated with us was clearly uncomfortable with him throwing hot food at their faces, and I said that I didn't think it was necessary, but he continued. When he came around to my group, he missed several times, which led to my friends getting egg not only on their clothes but also in their hair. Thankfully, I don't eat eggs, so I didn't personally have to deal with this, but one of my friends was extremely frustrated with having food in his hair and all over his clothes. Shortly after this, a worker began sweeping the floor beside us while we were still eating. I've had hibachi a number of times, and this was easily the worst experience I've ever had. The chef seemed nice but did not know how to read the room, the food was decent at best, the portions were tiny, and the whole vibe of the place was off.

You can see everything they cook in front of you and how they prepare it. The place is small and decoration is minimal, walls are black.

My experience was fun and very good. Example of price: for 3 people, our bill was around $170 Meals are around $50, $30 per head, depends on what you order.

Hubby and I opted for ramen on a cold damp day, we were going to order one each, however we stumbled upon the "Godzilla Ramen". There was a note next to the photo indicating $1 refund if you finish it alone. With that, it seemed to indicate that it may be enough for two so we ordered one of those, and a spicy tuna roll. (Trying to be frugal at the moment). Godzilla ramen - deeelicious!! The ramen came with thick slices of charshu, chicken karage, teriyaki (?) chicken, egg, corn, bamboo shoots, black fungus strips in miso broth. Definitely filling for two! Spicy tuna roll - as a person seeking the taste of a standard spicy tuna roll from Los Angeles, CA, this one was quite decent. Rather than a more minced type tuna, they did use chunks mixed with spicy mayo and Japanese chilli powder (Shichi-mi tōgarashi). It satisfies the craving. Verdict - a good go-to for ramen and simple sushi fix

The softshell crab w/ salad, for $16.50 is great value but the rest of the menu is a little expensive for what you get. They have lunch specials though that cost between $8-11.
