About Manpuku Japanese BBQ Torrance

Manpuku Japanese BBQ in Torrance offers a dining experience reminiscent of restaurants in Tokyo, enhanced by a Korean-inspired fusion. The restaurant features a modern and simplistic Japanese atmosphere, complete with private tatami mat rooms. The prime beef prixe fixe menu is priced at $69 per person and includes mushroom rice, spicy tofu soup, beef and shrimp, salad, ban chan, and ice cream. A-la-carte options are also available, with popular selections being the Tokyo short rib, beef tongue, and pork cheek with yuzu. Recent diners have praised the quality of meat, noting the ribeye, short rib, and rib cap cuts as must-tries. The service is quick and attentive, with waitstaff replacing the grill grate after each batch of food grilled. Although prices are on the higher side, the quality of the food, including the unique shiso mushroom rice, and the quick service contribute to a satisfying dining experience. The Kobe beef sukiyaki is a highlight, cooked quickly in front of diners and served with rice wrapped in egg yolk. For sides, the corn appetizer, garlic in oil, and assorted kimchi pair well with the meats, while the light and refreshing beef tartare is a favorite. Manpuku is located off Carson Avenue, with a small parking lot that can be busy. Reservations are recommended for special occasions or a night out with friends to enjoy drinks and great food. There is no outdoor seating available, but the cozy ambiance adds to the dining experience.
