This is a hidden gem located in the corner of a dumpy strip mall. Take the time stop in if you like Japanese food. The service was excellent as well as the food. Prices are very reasonable. I wish I found this place sooner.
My favorite restaurant. The waitress is so sweet during every visit, and the food is always great. The atmosphere is so welcoming and homey; I have no complaints.
Best udon I’ve had in the northwest Chicago area. We came for lunch, the prices were fair, the service was great and the food was delicious! Will definitely be coming again!
Five flippin stars I don’t get why the entire restaurant doesn’t have five stars I don’t know who the chef is back there but DARN does he know the ins and outs of traditional wholesome Japanese cuisine I mean goodness I did an order to go and my socks were knocked off about how fine their hand rolls were and I mean FINE as in perfect texture flavor spice presentation balance it was all there in a single condensed hand roll this place is true culinary art oh by the way their broth- whether miso or udon soup will cure your soul.
So glad that I picked this place instead of going to what appears to be more popular choices across Milwaukee Ave. The manooben bento lunch special was really good and has great value for the money.
The person who took care of me seemed very hospitable. I will definitely come back to support this business.
Manooben was the closest thing to authentic Japanese food. This hole in the wall (like literally in the corner), was such an awesome experience. My wife and I are not in the area and was craving some lunch. With the initial Google search, this place didn't come up several times. It wasn't until I specifically types in Japanese food that it was a couple selections down.
Out of all the restaurants, we highly recommend this one. The food reminds us just like when we went to Japan. The restaurant has so much character and you can tell the owner put a lot of her personality into it! We will definitely come back!
Also, we recommend the gyoza, seaweed salad, and crunch roll for an appetizer!
Service was amazing. It was empty when we went but I will be coming back. Amazing food + the service was phenomenal and the price was not bad at all. Such a homey atmosphere. <3
