Manpuku Modern Japanese Eatery is a concept that builds on the fundamental elements of three key words: 'EAT, DRINK, and ENJOY'. These are the principles that build the foundation and set the standard for the company and staff. Manpuku is a welcoming place built for people coming as an individual, a couple, a family, or a group.more...See more text
I gave it 4* for the authenticity of the food, it's one of the few Japanese-owned, Japanese eateries in the GTA. Price is definately very reasonable and service is both efficent and courteous. Would go out of the way to go back here, instead of the other dozens of Japanese sushi restos in the GTA.
INITIAL: As a person that doesn't come from downtown Toronto, I would have never heard or seen this restaurant if it wasn't suggested by a local. This place isn't easy to find, but any sensible individual aided with Googlemaps and has a basic sense of directions would be able to find this place no problem.
ATMOSPHERE: The restaurant is small, but that gives you the warm feeling and authentic Japanese feel. It is nicely lit, and the overall place seems very clean and tidy. An overall good impression upon entering the restaurant.
FOOD: Given that the location is not in the heart of the Entertainment District, the price for the food is really good and cheap comparative to other downtown Toronto restaurants. If you are a donburi or udon lover, this place would be the perfect fit for you. The main dishes are all less than 9-10 dollars, and if you are a hearty eater, you can combo it up for an additional 2 dollars (which includes 2 side dishes of your choice). Personally, I would combo it up and choose the Takosen as one of the side dishes; very authentic and good. Overall the food was well made. The dishes were flavourful but not too intense.
SERVICE: Overall service was great. The food was made in sufficient time, and the waitresses always made sure your tea cup wasn't empty; which is a big plus for Manpuku.
OVERALL: This place is definitely worth coming to again. I would like to try udon next time I go, which is highly recommended by my friend.
Perfect place for a light meal before going to a movie. We visit about twice per month and always enjoy the food, atmosphere and servers' courtesy. Authentic Japanese fare at a very thrifty price. (As noted - Japanese curry is something we never eat anywhere. Also don't want Indian sushi.) We recommend Manpuku to all our friends and family. Lovely staff and food always!
I was curious about the review so i step in and have Shigure Don. The portions are slightly small but for the price is alright~ As for the food is a bit better then other Japanese restaurant. Go Check it out or Mayb i am picky~

It was an amazing experience to spend the night...
It was an amazing experience to spend the night at Manpuku for its unique, fresh and modern atmosphere. This place just naturally draws out the special senses to how we react to food. This is definitely the most enjoyable restaurant on all levels: simple yet beautiful, high quality dishes; very reasonable and affordable price with satisfying portions, with exceptionally productive and friendly services. Manpuku is Toronto's one-of-a kind spot for those who seek and crave for the real, adventurous, and authentic Japanese experiences for all ages and occasions.
Perfectly seasoned beef cooked with onions. Delicious ontop a bowl of rice. The perfect size, not to big not to small but ensures that you are full and hapy when you leave. Truly Eat. Drink. Enjoy!
One of the very best casual dining experiences in...
One of the very best casual dining experiences in Toronto. The staff were friendly, the food came out quickly, and we loved the food. Portions may be small for some, but we loved the whole experience of a clean, non-intimidating Japanese dining experience. For those that are afraid, they serve food that is cooked. No sushi!
