Manooben - Glenview
Manooben
Description
Tucked in a strip mall, this cozy Japanese spot divides diners: many praise authentic, fresh dishes—standout udon, bento value, crisp tonkotsu, excellent broths and hand rolls—along with charming decor and reasonable prices. Yet others report inconsistent preparation, missing menu items, frozen sashimi, limited beverages (mostly tea and water) and occasional long waits. A worthwhile stop for traditional flavors, but expect variability in service and order accuracy.

This is a wonderfully cozy Japanese restaurant. The quality of the food is exceptional, and the service is quick and courteous. I ordered the manooben bento box with chicken, and it was simply delightful. I highly recommend checking out this place! Food: 5/5
Sushi was great along with my Nabiaki udon noodles…A+…A+!!!
Rustic, charming, clean hidden gem amongst the chaos of strip malls and drive-thrus. So glad we picked Manoobens for our anniversary dinner. The food was excellent!
