Editorial Review for Maneki Restaurant – by Angela Garbes
In Short
Traditional Japanese cuisine includes izakaya, smaller-sized plates of rice, fried dishes that make the perfect accompaniment to a night of drinking. Maneki's extensive menu specializes in this sort of comfort food--tonkatsu, tempura, and much more. If the restaurant is packed (and it usually is), look for seats in the bar upfront--the same menu is served, and conversation flows between the patrons sitting on stools.

I have gone to Maneki countless times and it continues to be the best Japanese restaurant I have ever visited. Excellent food, great service and a incredibly friendly atmosphere is what you can expect from this place. I have never been to Japan, but I do have many close friends who are from Japan, some of them sushi restaurant owners. They say that Maneki's sushi quality is at least as good and often better than any found in Japan. Until I visit Japan and try for myself I will have to believe what they say. As with any incredibly good restaurant, make sure you make a reservation first.
Pros: The food, the service, the price, everything ..
Cons: none

I got to try this place that my friend was raving about. We didn't make reservation but was able to be seated within 10 minutes of opening. The service was prompt and friendly. I had the Sakana dinner set which came with salted broiled mackeral, tempura, sashimi, cucumber & shrimp salad. It was tasty and very good portion. My husband had the sushi which was also fresh and big. They also have a bar for those who need to wait and drink. I would recommend this place if you like the more traditional japanese cuisine!
Pros: good traditional cuisine, prompt service even when it was packed.
Cons: can be long wait if you don't make reservations
