Manpuku Japanese BBQ Costa Mesa

Always great dining experience at Manpuku. Food is always amazing and the service is great.

Last minute reservation for my birthday and it was perfect. Been wanting g to try this place and finally got a chance to. From the beginning to the end of the whole dinner our server was great and the rest of staff. The food was delicious and our kids loved it. We got the premium Omakase with a few of their top plate to try. Will definitely be coming back to try a few more different plates and different seating area.

The Tokyo Style beef tongue is good. The Sumo-Platter allows you to sample various cuts of beef; the Miso marinade is a little salty. We'll order it plain next time. The garlic noodle is chewy; wish it's softer.

We had an incredible experience at Manpuku, the food and service was great and everything was brought and paced out really well!

We had a wonderful dinner last night! Great food and excellent service, a place definitely worth a return visit.

Food is excellent but portions are small. Service is good and ambiance is excellent. Very good overall value for this economy.

Everything was great! The food was spectacular and combed with the wonderful service made the night great.

Will be coming back! Food and service are great. If you're not sure what to order, the Premium is a great starting point, though a bit pricy. Now that we have a better understanding for our faves, we'll order items separately and pick our top choices.

I have been here 3 times. The first two times were great. The most recent time I went, they gave us very small portions of meat. It was not worth the money at all. It was 27 dollars for 4 little pieces of rib eye. It is way overpriced for what you get.

way too expensive for the quantity of food, you're better off going to anjin or tsuruhashi.

The food is outstanding fresh and very, very tasty.. love the cabbage salad-the Shishido peppers.. pretty much everything we had was absolutely divine

We had the A5 Wagyu Omakase and it did not disappoint, especially the A5 umami rice. Portion size was smaller than expected and the dining area a bit cramped but service was very warm and friendly. We will be back!

Torn writing this review as this is Costa Mesa‘s best Secret.  Best A5 & Wagyu around. Don't spread the word! Lol.

The hostess was very rude and unprofessional. She was going to seat my party at the worst table in the restaurant when there were other open tables available.

The quality of US wagyu is really good. Differs from Japanese A5 but not as greasy and still tender. Recommended for the quality of meat. Try the beef sukiyaki where the thin slice of beef wrapped with rice ball and raw egg yolk as dressing; it's like the taste of heaven!
