Top Japanese Restaurant in Manteca
Sakana Japanese Bistro
1460 W Yosemite Ave, Manteca, CA 95337, United States
Oh lord. I'd give this place negative 5 stars if I could. I haven't had this bad an experience at a restaurant ever. And that's saying something. I mean, could the portions be any smaller? I actually laughed when my wife's food came out and she got almost nothing but garnish on her plate. The rice had something in it and I'm not even going to guess what it was, it wasn't rice for sure. The tempura was greasy and not even fully covered with batter. It left grease all over the place. The sushi was extremely small and badly shaped, also sparse on the rice. It tasted ok though. They have some tasty sounding variety but the actual product was disgusting. It took them 45 mins and we were the only people inside. At least until the servers friend came in. Then we were just plain ignored. Couldn't get water, couldn't get napkins, had to steal napkins from an empty table, he'll, I couldn't even get the damn check without getting up and interrupting the buddies conversation. The best part was, she wouldn't even set the plate down, she stood there until I reached out and took it from her. I have never left a place so fast. The stomach ache and runs I got 20 mins later tells me that it's probably dirty in the kitchen too, but I can't verify that. So many good places in Manteca (one across the street) don't waste your time here. I can't imagine how anyone gave this place 5 stars....or any stars. They must hate food.
New China Restaurant
1457 W Yosemite Ave, Manteca, CA 95337, United States
I looked at their menu online and saw something I never had seen before-Honey Walnut Chicken...and it was listed under their Specials menu. I phoned in an order to pick up which also included Almond Chicken Chow Mein and a hot pork dish. As I was paying I noticed the amount for the special was higher than listed on their webpage. I asked the owner about it and he said they dont have that special and said I may not have been looking under the Manteca location. I paid, put the food in my car and came back in with my phone and showed him his webpage. After staring blankly at it for 3 minutes he said they dont have that special and went on about how other items listed havent been served in years. I told him that was false advertising and he should honor what he has listed in writing (as that is what got me to order from the place). I told him I would not return and I guess hes a funny guy because he instantly mumbled some words in Chinese and his employees standing nearby got a great chuckle out of it.If you cant handle a small problem there is no was you can handle a big one.The food was not very good either. More than one black hair in my food (I dont have black hair), one dish was cold, one was flavorless and the other had way too much batter. Some of the chicken was hard, tough, and very chewy. Poor food, poor customer service does not equate to a return visit. Guess who gets the last laugh...Oh, the owner did say he didnt know who put that on his webpage.....
Mihana Sushi

This is our favorite Japanese restaurant in Manteca. My daughter and I always order the Chirashi bowl. We also ordered the Spicy Scallop Roll and the 49er Roll. Very hospitable staff. We highly recommend it. ♥️
Matsu Sushi
874 Lifestyle St, Manteca, CA 95337, United States
I wasnt very happy here. I went in and sat down at a table for two. I told the hosts that I was waiting for a friend. Less then five minutes later I was approached by another employee, they asked me if I was going to order something. Again I said I was waiting for a friend. Not long after that the manager approached me and said if your not going to order something that I was going to have to leave. Just then my friend walked in and sat down. We placed our order, the food came out and it wasnt good at all. I asked for some basic sushi condiments, they seemed to have a problem providing them to us. After that happened. I lost my appetite and asked, for a to-go box. While I waited I took one more bite just to make sure that the food had some kind of taste. I couldnt even swallow it. I had to spit it into the napkin. It was horrible. I will not ever go back to this sushi restaurant. I can not in good conscience recommend this place.It was a bad experience for me. I suggest you find another suitable sushi place to eat.

Ramen 101 - Manteca
2162 Daniels St, Manteca, CA 95337, United States
My boyfriend wanted us to check out this place. Weve been waiting for a ramen spot to open near by, since we both usually enjoy ramen in other cities. It wouldnt be fair to compare it to other restaurants.Ramen 101 is located in a small food plaza but theres plenty of parking space. The restaurant itself is actually pretty small, so be mindful if youre arriving with a group or during rush hour. When we arrived, the tables were filled already but there wasnt a line. Luckily after we ordered and paid for our food, tables freed up for us.We both got the black garlic ramen, and grilled squid. One black garlic ramen was extra spicy and the other was just spicy. If youre into very spicy food, the spice level isnt crazy so extra spicy is pretty much mild. With that said, dont take my word for it lol because my extra spicy was mild but I didnt mind lol.Service was super quick, we probably only sat down for 5 minutes tops before food came out. It could have been sooner than 5 minutes but I wasnt tracking the time.Add ons are a must, we added an extra egg and seaweed paper. (We forgot to add the seaweed paper but the servers were kind enough to just give it to us) ?They have take-home menus but you can also view the menu from the screen above.The broth of the ramen was delicious, however it could use a little more umami or salt. My boyfriend thinks the broth should be thicker. However Im not complaining, I finished the whole bowl with a giant grin on my face. If you just take a little piece of the pork, a small twirl of noods, a piece of the soft boiled egg, and a piece of roasted garlic into your spoon, and wrap it with seaweed paper after soaking it in the broth.... ?? Im still drooling as I write this review lol.The grilled squid was delicious, very beautiful presentation. The sauce drizzled onto the squid reminds me of sweet chili sauce.I would have enjoyed a fountain soda, however the canned Hawaiian drinks were sufficient to quench our thirst.Im definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu.
GUESS Factory

This GUESS factory outlet in Manteca,CA is like an open secret place in the Central Valley of CA. Its very unassuming location near a Mexican restaurant, a Japanese restaurant and an AMC movie theater is a refreshing surprise. I always get good deals when I come here - from handbags to shoes and sandals and accessories. They also sell various kinds of GUESS apparel from babies to adults. The customer service personnel in this store are also very friendly and helpful. Definitely check this place out if you happen to be near or at Manteca,CA.
