    This is a very casual, reasonably priced, small restaurant for good sushi. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. This was my first visit, but my friend's go-to inexpensive sushi place that's within walking distance of her house. I had the rainbow roll so I could taste different pieces of fish and it was good; not the very best sushi I've had, but definitely good. My companion had the "Elwood", which is the mushroom and spinach roll and she loved it. She said that's always her go-to when she comes here. She also had the unagi roll (I think) and she enjoyed that, too. I'd certainly return if I'm in the area. The friendly wait staff and complimentary tea were an added incentive to come back!

    We ordered two different Dons: Saki Don and Unagi Don. Then we split them so we could enjoy the salmon and the unagi. Manpuki is on College Avenue across from Rialto Cinema, Elmhurst and great place to buy your sushi.

    Some of the best sushi I've had, and at a great price. Manpuku looks small from the outside, but there's bar seating and some indoor seating that goes far back inside. If you're eating in, you order first before being seated, although there's an abundance of grab and go food up front. Free hot tea and sauces! The sushi was sooo delicious, and all tasted so fresh. I loved the red dragon roll, and the salmon avocado! This sushi is also very reasonably priced compared to most other places. The chicken katsu was amazing- light and crispy. I asked for some teriyaki sauce on the side. This is my new favorite place for sushi, I'll definitely be back!

    A cute storefront with easy options for pickup, takeout, and dining in. I had two rolls and a plate of curry. The portions and prices were appropriate and delicious! Self serve water and hot tea are available and such a great plus. The staff is great and amiable. I'm almost always in Elmwood so stopping by here will be a part of my rotation.
