Manpuku Japanese BBQ Dining - West LA 8.4

Vibes: Date Night Magic Trendy Table Hotspots Instagram Worthy Wonders Group Dining Gatherings
A classic-yet-buzzy yakiniku house where you grill pristine USDA Prime and American wagyu cuts at the table. The vibe is energetic but still intimate enough for a two-top, and the meat program is the reason locals keep coming back.
Must-Try Dishes: Tokyo Style Beef Tongue, US Kobe Boneless Short Rib, Miso Hanger Steak
