I wanted something light, so ordered the zaru soba. Soba was good with nice presentation, but I feel like there should have been more dipping sauce for it.

Really enjoyed this place for the quiet and peaceful vibe as well as the food. I didn’t want to get something to big or expensive so I ordered the Curry Nanban Udon and it was very good. Did not break the bank and was absolutely worth it. I will be going again and very much so enjoyed the atmosphere. Also a great place to grab food then walk around in the mini mall area and grab boba at one of the boba places.

The tanaki udon is absolutely delicious; the broth is simple yet super flavorful. The spam musubi is addictive; the spam is juicy and crispy and compliments the sushi rice really well. I’d also recommend the potato croquette. Cozy atmosphere with a bit of a wait and friendly service.

My buddy and I were in the mood for some Asian food. He particularly was in the mood for some noodles and we’re glad we came here. The atmosphere was relaxing and there wasn’t a long wait. The food was extremely good and supersedes my expectations (see photos below). All and all the experience was great and will certainly come back again.

Solid udon spot with great Japanese dishes. Enjoyed the appetizers as well such as the agedashi tofu and takoyaki. We had the salmon and udon set as well as the katsudon and udon set. All of it was great and prices were reasonable for the quality and amount of food. The service was very friendly and came out at great times throughout the service. Place had a good spacing for seating. We ate around 2pm so we had basically the place to ourselves. Definitely worth making it out here.

This place has great food and big portions. It’s a small place so it gets packed. I ordered the sukiyaki don and my brother got the beef cury set comes with udon soup. Most of their item has udon that comes with. Service is good but when I was there it’s just one person working, but she handles it like a pro.

Once you enter you will be transported to another world. Inside it doesn’t feel like any other restaurant, truly a unique experience. The food is good however you may need to like Asian foods otherwise if you’re not used to sushi or ramen you may not enjoy it as much. Also it is somewhat salty. They have a pleasant music system.

I used to come here for lunch almost every day for their set menus. I moved across the country but over 10 year later and this place is still as good as it was a decade ago. I was so happy and udon was the perfect thing to have on a chilly day. They did seem to be understaffed when we went for dinner so expect a little bit of a wait while the serving staff catches up. We went on a weeknight.

Amazing Udon place, definitely has the feel of a small local udon shop. The curry udon was delicious and super filling. The food takes time, but is worth the weight as every bite was delicious and I will gladly go back to try the other udon/soba dishes.

A treasure trove of Japanese gastronomy and aura awaits past the entrance of this enchanting mom and pop restaurant. You will feel as if you were whisked away into Japan when dining inside this restaurant. The food delivers the goods. The restaurant specializes in Udon noodles, a style of Japanese soups. Aside from the selection of upon noodles (very fresh noodles), take delight in other goodies such as gyoza (dumplings) Katsu (fried and breaded protein), Japanese style curry, and many other choices including combination plates that include a variety of dishes based on your mood. All cooked with authenticity and precision. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.
