Manpuku Neutral Bay - Food NSW

5 /5 yuka aida: Good atmosphere and food was amazing. There is a long queue so usually a long wait prevented me from coming here, this time I was not deterred and arrived before they opened so finally I was able to come here! Before they open there was about 10 ppl waiting outside. It’s not really suitable for a family as they don’t have many seats. Highly recommend, but arrive early.

4 /5 Dom Thomson: An authentic and high quality japanese ramen bar. The signature ramen was rich, hearty and complex. The highlight was the Karaage chicken which was delicious. The place does not take bookings, and we were a group of 4 which resulted in a 65 minute wait time. Would recommend coming in a group of two and not peak hour on weekends due to the popularity. A lovely meal none the less.

5 /5 Josemaria Alfonso Gomez: Manpuku Neutral Bay is amazing. The owner and staff are genuinely lovely and always welcoming. We’ve visited a few times and there were a couple of occasions where some items had run out. Once there was no broth so we were given dry noodles, another time no bone or beef broth so they offered vegetable broth, and once no chashu so they substituted chicken. Everything was still delicious and handled kindly by the team. The food is consistently great and a must-try is the Chicken Karaage with scallion oil. Absolutely delicious. A fantastic local spot and well worth visiting.

5 /5 Rosalie Smith: Absolutely obsessed with this place. From the moment you walk into Manpuku Neutral Bay, the owner and staff make you feel so genuinely welcome, it’s that kind of warmth that makes you want to come back before you’ve even finished your meal. The atmosphere is cozy, relaxed, and feels authentically Japanese without trying too hard. It’s the perfect spot for a casual dinner but still feels special. Now the FOOD. The ramen? We had the manpuku red and kogashi ramen. Hands down the bestttt I’ve had. The broth was rich, flavourful, and comforting in the best way, you can tell it’s made with so much care. And the karaage chicken… unreal. Perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned so well. I could honestly order that every single time. Safe to say this is officially our go-to ramen spot now. If you’re anywhere near Neutral Bay and love good ramen, you have to try it.

5 /5 Jenny T: Very friendly staff and cute little location; reminded me of Japan. You didn’t need to wait in line like the one in Chatswood and they have flavoured edamame! So it was a win for me. Everything was delicious and we even got to taste some of the fried octopus. Would come back again.
