Man Man specialises in Nagoya-style grilled Japanese eel or unagi. Outside appearance could be deceiving but they have live eels swimming in tanks inside the restaurant. As recommended in the TV show Ride.Eat.Find last night, we tried their Hitsumabushi. We ate it in 3 ways ie: 1) as original, 2) with spring onion & seaweed & self grated wasabi and 3) as porridge by adding broth to the side bowl. We liked the charred taste of the grilled eel with secret homemade gravy of soy sauce, brown sugar and other ingredients. The eel was tender and smooth. The service was good inside the restaurant. I was wondering why the restaurant didn't allow customers to stream in as some customers left after finishing their meals. I saw a long queue outside the restaurant waiting to go in as we left. This inconvenient the customers. It was drizzling this morning at 10.58 am. Many customers without umbrella were slightly wet while waiting for the restaurant to open at 11.30am. I rated it 3 stars because of this inconsideration to customers. We hope to see service in this area improve on our next visit.
