| - What a great little casual place to pick up some noodles and Japanese food. I visited with my favorite bougie foodie friend and my vino friend who can take down vino bottles all day...
Service: Our server was nice and attentive, she kept the dishes coming and the drinks fresh. She'd check on us throughout our visit and gave some good suggestions of new things to try.
Food: I had the Carbonara Udon which was great! Udon, Bacon, cream, oinion, parmesan cheese, butter and a boiled egg. Very tasty. We tried this shrimp/ebi kind of dumpling with cereal flakes? (see pic) Forgot the name, but I remembered it was bomb and I'll remember to order it again on the next visit. The Takoyaki was also tasty and everything we had was made with good ingredients and prepped well. Chefs had some game...
Value: Here's where I'm really feeling Oodle Noodle. The Carbonara Udon was only $9.80 and the quality and preparation was great. Oodle Noodle is kind of like Costco, you come in for some great value Udon, next thing you know all kind of other Japanese plates on the table along with a bunch of beer and Sake. Yep, it's the Udon's fault I was throwing down beers this visit.. Be careful, but it's a win win no matter what you order for the price..
Ambiance: It's located in a strip mall and from the outside, I would have never guessed the quality of food that would be served. As soon as you walk in, the restaurant opens up considerably with vaulted ceilings and a lot more sitting area than you would assume. Not a first date place, but a higher end contemporary casual dining atmosphere? lol. Great place to come with your foodie friends to catch up, find out one of your bff is 5 months pregnant, and
order a bunch of different dishes to try over some sake and beer.
I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this place wasn't just an Udon joint. Lots of different side dishes to try and a very reasonable price. Location, Location, Location is great as it's only a couple miles off the strip and very close to the 15 freeway. This is a Great place to grab a cheap, tasty, Japanese dinner before a night out. I'll keep the posting pics as I keep trying new dishes here in future visits. Bring it..send it...arigato!
