Japanese Yakiniku Chain Manpuku Opens in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"A decades-old Tokyo-born yakiniku restaurant opening a Dallas outpost, this spot specializes in tableside grilled meats served in both a la carte and omakase formats (priced roughly $40–$100 per person). The 100-seat indoor dining room is described as contemporary yet unpretentious, outfitted in black metals and rustic wood and designed by Takahiro Sato and Masakazu Abe of Tokyo’s Pico Innovate. The menu emphasizes perfectly marbled cuts—Prime U.S. beef and wagyu imported from Japan, including ribeye, chuck flap, and short rib—alongside Kurobuta pork sausage, pork belly, and chicken thigh, with a variety of sides such as fresh kimchi, grilled asparagus, shiitake mushrooms, and garlic fried rice. Appetizers include gunkan-style uni, beef carpaccio, and raw oysters, and a rotating daily soft-serve is offered for dessert. The restaurant has expanded from its Tokyo origins to multiple California locations and will open in Dallas on June 29; reservations are recommended via OpenTable." - Amy McCarthy
