About this place
The shrimp cream croquette is a natural place to start at Mantei. Some diners have been struck by its size, while one recalled a nostalgic feeling from the first bite. Another praised its rich flavour, noting that it was not heavy on the finish.
For another dish, waraji tonkatsu is also on the menu. One diner who ordered rice with the shrimp cream croquette said the pairing of the tonkatsu and its sauce was what stayed with them. Make the croquette the centrepiece, or add tonkatsu for a fuller Western-style Japanese meal, depending on your appetite.
Other recorded choices include fried shrimp, minced-meat cutlets, hamburg steak and pork chop, offering a selection of familiar Western-style Japanese dishes. The restaurant serves meals on the premises and is described as having a quiet atmosphere, making it one option for dining alone.
