Manooben - Glenview

It really feels like a traditional Japanese restaurant. We were the only people that were in the restaurant upon arrival which was odd to us because the food was great and we for sure plan to make a return! Definitely recommend the hot tea. Me and my partner usually like sweetened tea but this tea on its own was truly good! Same with their miso soup ️

Five flippin stars I don’t get why the entire restaurant doesn’t have five stars I don’t know who the chef is back there but DARN does he know the ins and outs of traditional wholesome Japanese cuisine I mean goodness I did an order to go and my socks were knocked off about how fine their hand rolls were and I mean FINE as in perfect texture flavor spice presentation balance it was all there in a single condensed hand roll this place is true culinary art oh by the way their broth- whether miso o … – show

Portions are very small and the Miso soup was just broth.

Im not sure how high reviews are rated but as for our dinner. My ramen noodles look like those cheap instant noodles, broth is good though. My wifes order didnt have kimchi like how its describe in menu. I am just confused about our order. Whoever plans to eat here, im sure they are delicious but maybe it wasnt a good day for our dinner. Im so sorry for bad review. Server is nice and pricing. Im just again confused and disappointed over my cheap ramen noodles.

My favorite restaurant. The waitress is so sweet during every visit, and the food is always great. The atmosphere is so welcoming and homey; I have no complaints.
